I Wanna Be Famous (HD)

I found this music video on YouTube that seems very useful to illustrate what is a microfascism. We start from the idea that a microfascism emerges when there is a blocked and repressed desire that is molarized through a codificated flow which investment is totalitarian. When that happens, the creative line of flight that involves desire becomes a line of abolition or a line of death. In the video we have a girl who wants to be famous and whose subjectivity lies encysted in common sense. She is a girl who lives alone in a small apartment, who has no money neither a job, but is noble and with a good personality. While she does not know what to do with her life, she really wants to be famous. The desire that goes through her is encoded by a collective representation that undoubtedly onrushes her imperiously. Such representation has been able to make her believe that being a celebrity is important and that is just enough to have a bit of personality to be famous. While she dumps on herself the use that she makes of common sense, she believes she should be already. However, she feels she should do something to achieve it. Given that such a desire buggers her into a line of death, she decides to kill somebody important to release her onslaught. Her reason tells her that maybe she cannot literally be a star but at least she can be someone important. Her desire is so significant that it extrapolates her beyond all representation: she considers that it should be as simple as committing assassination. She gets to think that maybe the “guy” who governs the country can be useful for this. The irrefutable logic that triangulates her small oedipus makes her go out to the open public, purchase a weapon and stalk the streets with joy. Guitar in hand, she considers indispensable for her act to be of public order, she knows that her mother will be proud to see her on television. No matter the way: with a weapon, a knife, with her mind. It is a question of being famous. At the end, she reverses its collective investment infuriating the masses, while her lynching ensures her to be included on the board of history. VIA
