The main text consists of 4 parts. First, the dominating power maintains itself not only through repression of the individuals, but also through sublimation. Therefore, in order to resolve repression, one would need to resolve sublimation. Second, the totalitarian subject emerges from the process of desublimation: a process that combines the superego and id at the expense of ego. The totalitarian subject obeys the superego\u201fs command and constructs social fantasy. It is this sublime social fantasy that supports the cruel practice of totalitarian subject. The ideal humanity progresses through the death and negation of others. Fantasy is the spectacle of death and functions as a protective screen. Through this protective screen, the totalitarian subject displaces his inner division onto others and avoids his lack of being. Third, \u017di\u017eek insists that the subject has to suffer his unavoidable deficit and accept his inner division in order to traverse the social fantasy. Fourth, The process of Bildung emphasizes the importance of negation: in order to achieve the absolute ideal of humanity, men have to sustains their own infinitization by going through death. Yet, the revolutionary destruction leads to the cruel sadistic teacher. To avoid this catastrophic consequence, we need the radical excentricity of \u201cthe division of subject,\u201d which would the ethical foundation of contemporary education.<\/p>\n
