Stalin professed support for human rights like free speech, for self-determination, for peace, and for harmony and equality among individuals and peoples regardless of race, ethnicity, etc. &#8230; Of course, in fact Stalin was a megalomaniacal tyrant who ruled arbitrarily, violated all of these ideals, and put millions of people to death; but Zizek is entirely right to suggest that such hypocrisy is morally superior, and far to be preferred, to Hitler\u2019s overtly racist and anti-democratic ideology \u2014 which he unhypocritically put into practice.&quot;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/wayneandwax\/blogpost\">blogpost<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/wayneandwax\/theory\">theory<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/wayneandwax\/philosophy\">philosophy<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/wayneandwax\/politics\">politics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/wayneandwax\/politricks\">politricks<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/wayneandwax\/election08\">election08<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ilovehiphopinmorocco.com\/media\/video\/trailer1.html\">I Love Hip Hop In Morocco<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">new documentary on (putting on a festival for) hip-hop in morocco<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/wayneandwax\/documentary\">documentary<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/wayneandwax\/hip-hop\">hip-hop<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/wayneandwax\/morocco\">morocco<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/wayneandwax\/trailer\">trailer<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/wayneandwax\/northafrica\">northafrica<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.frieze.com\/issue\/article\/search_and_rescue\/\">Frieze Magazine | Archive | Search and Rescue<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">nice piece by jace on digital\/analog africa, copy and aura :: &quot;Digital Africa is exemplified by the trio of expat Africans who run New York City\u2019s bootleg CD-r mixtape industry.
