Fascism and Stalinism
Introduction
Every ideology relies on an unassimilable kernel of enjoyment.[1]
This means subjects are attached to an ideological formation not simply because of a set of identifiable reasons or causes but because of something extra.
Ideological formations rely on an extra, nonrational nugget that goes beyond what we know to produce our sense of who we are and what the world is for us.
