The Zizek Peterson debate, over three thousand people paid $1,500 per ticket (Video)

In Canada's largest hall, Sony Centre for the Performing Arts, 3,200 in attendance had paid tickets of up to 1,500 dollars to be there. Not for the concert of some superstar, nor for the artistic performance of famous ansembles.

Surprisingly, our time was a philosophical duel.

The global stars of Left and Right -- philosopher Slavo Zizek and psychologist Yordan Peterson -- faced with the goal of finding the answer to the big question: “Happiness: Capitalism vs. Markism” (“Space: Capitalism vs. Marxism” reports Klan Kosova.

How was this done?

In February 2018, Zizek had published a letter in Independent entitled “Why does Jordan Peterson seem so persuasive to people?” (“Why do people find Jordan Peterson so Convincing?)

Peterson had responded to a Twitter account, which posts the quote of Zizek, writing: “If you want to debate the validity of my theories, scientificʹkins, let me know and we can arrange this”. (Of course, Zizek himself has no account on the social network.

And the battle was arranged.

Last night, Peterson launched an attack on Carl Marx's “Communistfest”.

It's very stupid if you think you can set someone's moral value by means of his economic status”.

He did not deny that capitalism creates inequality.

But it also produces wealth, while statistics prove that extreme poverty decreases even when wealth is accumulated at the top of the economic chain”.

The rich are getting richer in capitalism, but even the poor are getting richer”

Zazek, meanwhile, shifted the analysis to another perspective.

Happiness is a confusing concept. Actually, people don't love what they think they love. The worst thing that can happen to us is to get what we want”.

Slovenia focused on the evils of capitalism, including environmental degradation.

The global market is not free, but it is regulated in such a way that it enables some states to detonate other countries.
