Flygtningelejr Oksbøl (Flugtmuseum.dk)
I vestjyske Oksbøl vil man lave et flygtningemuseum for de 250.000 tyske flygtninge, der befandt sig her og andre steder i Danmark efter Anden Verdenskrig.

Borgerskabets forbrydelser: Da borgerskabet lod 17.000 flygtninge dø i danske lejre. Af Markus Strufe (Revolution, 11. januar 2022). “De færreste kender til historien om de knap 250.000 tyske flygtninge, der kom til Danmark efter 2. verdenskrig, og levede under kummerlige forhold i danske flygtningelejre. 17.000 flygtninge døde i lejrene, halvdelen af dem børn, og langt størstedelen af dødsfaldene kunne være undgået.”

“Dengang det var vanskeligt at gøre det rigtige for flygtningene” (Netavisen Pio, 29. oktober 2020). Anmeldelse af Thomas Harder: De uønskede: de tyske flygtninge i Danmark 1945-1949 (Gyldendal, 2020, 483 sider). “Poul Smidt anmelder ny bog med historien om da Danmark, efter 2. verdenskrig, stod med ansvaret for at huse en kvart million tyske flygtninge.”

Efter Danmarks befrielse: Tusindvis af tyske kvinder, børn og ældre døde i danske flygtningelejre. Af Anne Sophie Thingsted og Lise Brix (Videnskab.dk, 2. juni 2020). “Der hersker uenighed om, hvorvidt den danske stat kunne have gjort mere for at forhindre, at 17.000 tyske flygtninge døde i Danmark under og efter Anden Verdenskrig.”

En voldsomhed uden sidestykke. Af Erik Ingemann Sørensen (Historie-online.dk, 29. april 2020). Anmeldelse af John V. Jensen: Tyskere på flugt (Aarhus Universitetsforlag, 2020, 100 sider) (Hele bogen online som PDF-fil på AmazonS3) (100 danmarkshistorier). Med indholdsfortegnelse, litteratur og noter online.

Arven fra Oksbøl – fortidens flygtningedebat som en flaskepost til nutiden (POW International, 9. november 2018). ” Steffen Groth peger på, hvorfor Oksbøllejren aldrig må ses som en model for nutidens eller fremtidens flygtningepolitik, men som det modsatte: en advarsel.”

Filosoffen Slavoj Žižek fødes i Lubjana, Jugoslavien (nu Slovenien).

Se:

Da Jordan Peterson mødte Karl Marx (Solidaritet.dk, 28. april 2019). “Mathias Rølle har set duellen mellem de to tænkere, og anmelder her ‘kampen’ for Solidaritet.” Se også Katalysator #9: A battle of giants? Zizek vs Peterson (Solidaritet.dk 3. maj 2019, 67 min.).

Žižek, en häst utan ryttare. Av Ludvig Sunnemark (Röda Rummet, 21. april 2023). “Få samtida filosofers ansikten är så kända som Slavoj Žižek. Men bakom de yviga
gesterna, de karaktäristiska sniffande lätena och de spektakulära, ibland skandalösa,
kommentarerna till politiska frågor döljer sig ett lika egensinnigt som viktigt bidrag till
den politiska teorin.”

Venstrefløjens hestebremse fylder rundt. Af Mathias Rølle (Solidaritet.dk, 21. marts 2019). “Hvis Žižeks bøger over de senere år er blevet mere filosofiske, er hans offentlige tilstedeværelse i medierne til gengæld blevet mere polemisk og provokatorisk.”

In defense of Slavoj Žižek. By Conrad Hamilton and Matt McManus (Jacobin, June 11, 2021). “Slavoj Zizek has made some serious missteps in recent years — but he remains an important theorist for the Left in our postmodern, neoliberal era.”

The fool and the madman. By Sam Miller and Harrison Fluss (Jacobin, April 20, 2019). “Last night, Jordan Peterson spouted nonsense about Marxism. And Slavoj Žižek reminded us of how deep into liberal pessimism he’s fallen.”

Žižek: Fortress Europe’s staunch defender on the left. By Esben Bogh Sorensen (Roarmag.org, November 29, 2015). Med links til Slavoj Zizek: In the wake of Paris attacks the left must embrace its radical Western roots (In These Times, November 16, 2015) + The Non-Existence of Norway (London Review of Books, 9 September 2015).

Is democracy the enemy? A reply to Zizek. By Louis Proyect (The Unrepentant Marxist, October 31, 2011). “Although the content of Slavoj Žižek’s blog post in the London Review (Democracy is the enemy) is not so nearly as bad as the title, it still betrays the same kind of misunderstanding of the relationship between democracy and socialism …”

A right-wing rant against British youth from  Slavoj Žižek. By Stefan Steinberg (World Socialist Web Site, 27 August 2011). See also Slavoj Žižek: Shoplifters of the World Unite (London Review of Books, 19 August 2011)

The power of nonsense. By Alan Johnson (Jacobin, June 14, 2011). “Žižek’s philosophy is, to be blunt, a species of linksfaschismus. This is true of its murderous hostility to democracy, its utter disdain for the ‘stupid’ pleasures of bourgeois life, its valorization of will, ruthlessness, terror and dictatorship, and its belief in the salvific nature of self-sacrificial death.”

Zizek in Manhattan: an intellectual charlatan masquerading as ‘left’. By Bill Van Auken and Adam Haig (World Socialist Web Site, 12 November 2010). “That a charlatan and anti-Marxist like ‌‌Zizek is promoted as an important philosopher by a whole range of ex-radicals is a troubling symptom of the deep intellectual and political disorientation of this social milieu.”

Slavoj Žižek, an idealist Trojan horse. By Simon Hardy (League for the Fifth International, 28 October 2010). “However, despite his popularity on the left, from a Marxist point of view it is necessary to conclude that whatever Žižek’s benefits for the intellectual left, ultimately he adds more confusion than clarity.” See also a response from a reader from Slovenia: In defence of Zizek (03/01/2011).

A philosopher in thrall to the ”end time”. By Phil Sharpe (A World to Win, 23 September 2010). Review of Slavoj Zizek, Living in the End Times (Verso, 2010). “What is apparent, however, is Zizek’s increasing distance from the process of revolution and its aftermath.”

Slavoj Zizek’s failed encounter with Leninism: ‘The bread of justice must be baked by the people’. By Paul Kellogg (Links: International Journal of Socialist Renewal, February 2010). “… Žižek’s treatment of Lenin is completely decontextualised, as if history and economics did not matter. And when he does briefly provide a context, he gets it completely wrong. The Lenin he is reviving is the Lenin that is least relevant to contemporary conditions.”

Slavoj Zizek’s Ideas need to link with reality. By Alex Callinicos (Socialist Worker, Issue 2142, 14 March 2009). “… where Zizek gets shifty is over the question of Stalinism. Pressed about the relationship between the idea of communism and what is sometimes called ‘historical Communism’, he ducks and dives. Fortunately, he doesn’t repeat some of the really silly things he has said on this subject in the past.”

The only hope of the revolution is the crowd: The limits of Žižek’s Leninism (pdf). By
Paul Kellogg (International Journal of Žižek Studies, Vol.2, No.2, 2008, p.). “For Žižek, the hope of revolution is to be found in a gesture of individual violence directed at ‘The Other’. Better we stick with Lenin, for whom the only ‘hope’ of the revolution is the ‘crowd’.”

Shedding some light on Lenin. By Chris Harman (International Socialism, Issue 116, Autumn 2007). Review of Sebastian Budgen, Stathis Kouvelakis and Slavoj Zizek (eds), Lenin Reloaded: Towards a Politics of Truth (Duke University, 2007). “Far too many of the pieces overdose on academic language that obscures what the authors might be trying to say, and on occasions degenerates into gibberish.”

In English:

Nineteen Eighty-Four and all that (Socialist Review, Issue 454, February 2020). “Seventy years after his death, George Orwell has been canonised by the literary establishment as a liberal critic of totalitarianism. John Newsinger argues that his life and his work show him to be a harsh a critic of capitalism, and a staunch supporter of the struggles of the ‘common people’.”

The secrets of Nineteen Eighty-Four . By James Preece (International Socialism, Issue 163, Summer 2019, p.133-152). “This article attempts to address these critiques from the left by closely examining the context of Nineteen Eighty-Four and Orwell’s late political beliefs, before delving into a radical textual study of the novel itself to make clear the true significance of this important work.”

A comment: Revisiting George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four in 2010. By Richard Mynick (World Socialist Web Site, 12 June 2010). “Yet Nineteen Eighty-Four was no endorsement of the West. It posits only an unaccountable elite that rules in its own interests and maintains power by taking state-run mind control to its logical extreme.” See also: Letters on ‘Revisiting George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four in 2010’ (19 June 2010).

Orwell’s Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four: Critiques of Stalinism ‘from the left’? By Alex Miller (Links: International Journal of Socialist Renewal, April 2008). “This essay is the result of a re-reading of George Orwell’s two most famous novels. Both Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four have acquired the status of textbooks, and are routinely used in schools to demonstrate to children the inherent dangers of social revolution. It is time for a reappraisal.”

Orwell Centenary: From 2003 to 1984 (Socialist Review, Issue 276, July/August 2003). “George Orwell was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. On the hundredth anniversary of his birth we examine the controversy around his work and his legacy for today. Andrew Stone assesses the relevance of Orwell’s most famous novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four.”

George Orwell: Imagining the totalitarians. By Chris Hickey (Solidarity, 3/34, 10 July 2003). “1984 is a dark book. It lacks the clear alternative of Animal Farm’s revolution. Orwell said that he ‘ballsed it up rather’ writing it while suffering from his tuberculosis. Yet I have always thought it was an amazing, if somewhat uneven, novel and not as dark as I first thought.”

Re-reading ’Nineteen Eighty-Four’ in 1984. By Paul O’Flinn (International Socialism, Issue 23, Spring 1984, p.76-98). “What I’d like to do in the rest of the article is to look first of all at the material Orwell supplies in Nineteen Eighty-Four and then at some of the ways that material has been commandeered by Right and Left since 1949. In so doing I hope to arrive at an answer to the main question that the text raises for Marxists today, namely, what do we do with it?”

Animal Farm, 1984 and socialist revolution. Chapter in Paul O’Flinn: Them and us in literature (London, Pluto Press, 1975, p.14-20; online at Marxist Internet Archive). “So what are we to make of this socialist who for the past generation has supplied the Right with a whole armoury of blunt instruments with which to attack the Left? More important, what’s useful in Orwell’s ideas and Orwell’s warnings for the present generation of socialists?”

1984 – the mysticism of cruelty. In Isaac Deutscher: Heretics and Renegades and Other Essays (Hamish and Hamilton, 1955; online at Marxist Internet Archive). “1984 is a document of dark disillusionment not only with Stalinism but with every form and shade of socialism. It is a cry from the abyss of despair. What plunged Orwell into that abyss?”

1984 – Utopia reversed: Orwell’s penetrating examination of totalitarian society. By Irwing Howe (New International, Vol.16, No.6, November-December 1950; online at Marxist Internet Archive). “That George Orwell’s 1984 is a work of major significance, as a political document if not as a novel, and that it is probably the best delineation of totalitarian society we have, is by now clear to anyone who has read the book.”

With video presentation of the talk (1:09:23 min.). “The loss by the Communists can be traced back to a number of factors: poor political decisions, indecisiveness in recognising their enemies, failure to take the initiative, military mistakes during the civil war and the fact that they were decisively outgunned by the United States who aided the royalists.”

Greek Civil War: The 1944-45 Dekemvriana and the lessons for today.
