Paradigm shift
The globalization of pandemics is showing that capitalism is more vulnerable than it seemed

Globalization seemed to be the maximum expression of neo-capitalism, a fictional world of "stock markets", of immediate electronic financial flows, of almighty corporations, of concentration of powers and political wills in a few world governments.
Globalization also generated concrete physical contacts between people from very diverse geographical environments: hundreds of millions of tourists constantly move between countries and continents. From a biological point of view, humanity is transforming into one, and the first novel and aggressive microorganism ends up encompassing the entire planet and threatens to bring down the whole capitalist system that is proving to be much more vulnerable than we imagined.
So this question raised by Slavoj Zizek is particularly relevant. Below is a fragment of an article where this topic is raised.

"Is a fiercer capitalism coming or a renewed communism?
Philosophy and the coronavirus, a new ghost that travels the world
Slavoj Zizek threw the first stone when he wrote that the option, after the pandemic, will be "barbarism or some form of reinvented communism." Byung-Chul Han replied: "The virus will not defeat capitalism." Other thinkers, such as Giorgio Agamben, Franco "Bifo" Berardi, Srećko Horvat, Judith Butler and Alain Badiou, add to the debate glances that run from the news of the minute by the minute.
Byung-Chul Han, Judith Butler and Slavoj Zizek, three lucid pens to tackle a complex subject.
It is already evident that it is shaking the markets. But in the long run, could the coronavirus topple capitalism? The ever-fast reflex Slavoj Zizek has just published what is surely the first coronavirus essay. Pandemic's thesis! Covid-19 shakes the world (pandemic! Covid-19 shakes the world) is that the current health crisis exposed the weaknesses of liberal democracies and that the world is heading towards a positive political effect. “Barbarism or some form of reinvented communism”: such is the dichotomy that the Slovenian finds in this crude and complex historical setting, also unpublished.
In a context where information saturates and invades minds and homes, it can be healthy or even rich to enter into glances that run from the news from minute to minute. Several contemporary thinkers have looked at the pandemic: Italians Giorgio Agamben and Franco "Bifo" Berardi, Croatian Srećko Horvat, American Judith Butler, French Alain Badiou and South Korean Byung-Chul Han are some of those who expressed themselves about. The question about the evolution of the world economic scenario is in almost all approaches.
Zizek's new material is short, 120 pages, available both on paper and in digital format through OR Books. It is in tune with theories explained in a previous article for the RT portal, in which Zizek - Marxist, movie buff - defined the pandemic as "a blow to the Kill Billal capitalist system", in another of his usual conversations with popular culture . It was an article that made noise on social networks - it would be what many wanted to hear - and that sparked a response from Byung-Chul Han. “Zizek is wrong. The virus will not defeat capitalism, ”he sentenced in a column for the newspaper El País.
As the new ghost travels the world, leaving more and more dead and infected, in Pandemic! ... Zizek states that a "communist approach" - renewed, of course - is the way out of the crossroads. Nation-states placed at the service of the defense of the weakest. The virus showed that we lived with another virus inside, naturalized: capitalism. It is an opportunity to break free from the "tyranny of the market". But at the same time the author is not "utopian": he does not believe that the conflict will grow "solidarity among peoples". Because these days solidarity is more of a "survival instinct" and, as such, "rational and selfish."
They resonated "speculations that point to the fall of communism in China, in the same way that Gorbachev said that the Chernobyl tragedy led to the end of Soviet communism", but the paradox -always according to Zizek- is this: "The coronavirus forces us to reinventing communism based on trust in people and science. "The roles of the press and governments are not without their analysis. Although in his opinion China managed the coronavirus better than Italy, it criticizes the concealment of negative data by On the other hand, it lashes out at the United Kingdom and the United States for their efforts to keep citizens calm and to show control through lies. "The media repeatedly send us the message of 'no panic ' and then they have a series of data that necessarily lead us to panic" he questions.
