Open Letter to Comrade Žižek

Carlos Herrera de la Fuente

Abstract


Open Letter to Comrade Žižek is an attempt to question and highlight some incongruous points that Slavoj Žižek, one of the greatest critics of capitalism and its ideological effects in the contemporary world, expressed in his latest books about the Pandemics. The text focuses in the economic, political, social and cultural consequences of Žižek’s position and goes further in developing another position (from the left-wing political spectrum) related to the spread of COVID-19 and the preventive measures to fight it.
