Zizek: Freedom is Universal

Regarding the historical events in Egypt, and Tunisia, I can't possibly put it better than Zizek here: "... how cheap and irrelevant all this multiculturalism talk becomes; there when we are fighting a tyrant, we are all universalists. We are all immediately solidary with each other. This is how you build universal solidarity, not with some stupid UNESCO, multiculture, respect, we respect your culture..... The struggle for freedom. Here we have a direct proof that freedom is universal... This is universalism at work." Bravo, Zizek!
