compulsion to satisfy an endless and irrational set of desires.”= Marcuse’s concept of repressive desublimation. Zizek is usually so dismissive of the Frankfurters that I’m inclined to slap him with a plagiarism charge.
Yeah, and SZ is an obsessive-compulsive who, by his own admission,
has never sung aloud or done anything spontaneous. There may be a bit
of envy in this analysis.
