In the interview with Glyn Daly, Źižek said, “I admire people who are ready to take over and do the dirty job, and maybe this is part of my fascination with Lenin.” Źižek, Slavoj and Daly, Glyn, Conversations with Źižek (Cambridge, Eng., 2004), 50–51 Google Scholar. Then he revealed that the ministerial position held by Igor Bavcar, the man responsible for the Erased, was first offered to him after DEMOS took over the government from the communists: “The only thing that interested me—again the old story, but it's not a joke—was either being Minister of the Interior or Head of the Secret Service, and, crazy as it may sound, I would have been considered seriously for both. Probably, if I had wanted it years ago, then I could have got one of these posts” (49-50). Given Źižek's respect for the Leninist ethics of “dirty jobs,” would Źižek have done the same thing as Bavčar?
