Punk economics


Quote of the day:  "Slavoj Zizek reads Hegel in order to argue that demanding purity- for example, cultural productions or expressions totally free from commodification- is akin to ' positing the presuppositions' that will prevent one from having to act."

-quoted in Punk Productions: Unfinished Business, Stacy Thompson, SUNY Press, 2004, so far quite interesting.

This may seem apposite to the current flow of constant accommodations and compromises, but I'm researching the 80s and 90s subcultures and their socio-political analyses and practices.  It's right on point.
