Ep 78: Analyzing the Assange, Zizek and Horowitz conversation.

The mindcrime liberty show discusses the old gem of a conversation which appeared on Julian Assange's show for Russia Today when he was in asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy.  What unfolds in this conversation is quite memorable not only considering the high profile names but the interesting insights provided.   Assange has the show and the two guests are Slavoj Zizek and David Horowitz.  Topics discussed include the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars,  is Obama a secret Marxist or not, Hobbesianism, whether liberalism is Utopian and the absurdity of using the word freedom by the military industrial complex.  We show selected clips from the interview and why we think its still relevant and interesting after 10 years.
