"Remember, the problem is not corruption or greed, the problem is the system. Beware not only of the enemies, but also of false friends who are already working to dilute this process in the same way that we get coffee without caffeine, beer without alcohol, [or] ice cream without fat. They will try to make this into a harmless moral protest."
Slavoj Zizek at Open Forum, Occupy Wall Street, October 9. (via domesticterrorism)
"Art” has always been useful to someone. When i tbecomes a commodity-object, bound by the limits of the market it’s an aesthetic amplifier for the values of the status quo, when its “political art” safely enclosed in a museum it becomes a cool cultural mask over the catastrophe that is capitalism."
