From Violence by Slajov Zizek pp 84 - 85
"Jacques Lacan claimed that, even if the patients wife is sleeping around with other men, the patients jealousy is still to be treated as a pathological condition. In a homololagous way, even if rich jews in the Germany of the early 1930s 'really' exploited German workers, seduced their daughters, dominated the popular press and so on, Nazi anti-Semitism was still emphatically 'untrue', a pathological ideological condition. Why? What made it pathological was the disavowed libidinal investment made into the figure of the Jew. The cause of all social antagonisms was projected into the 'Jew', the object of perverted love-hatred, the spectral figure of mixed fasicnation and disgust".
