Berlusconi in Tehran : The Rome-Tehran Axis

by Slavoj Zizek

Is there a link between Ahmadinejad and Berlusconi? Isn't it preposterous even
to compare Ahmadinejad with a democratically elected Western leader?
Unfortunately, it isn't: the two are part of the same global process . . . The
virus of authoritarian capitalism is slowly but surely spreading around the
globe.
