The role of guilt—as the way in which the subject enjoys his subjection to the laws—is vital to understanding subjects’ political commitments.
Individuals will only turn around when the Law hails them as they believe the “big Other” has access to the jouissance they have lost as subjects of the Law, and which they can accordingly reattain through their political allegiance
It is this belief, what could be termed this “political economy of jouissance,” that the fundamental fantasies underlying political regimes’ worldviews are there to structure in subjects.
