Zizek is a fucking clown that gives real Marxists a bad name. I’m not convinced he isn’t a controlled opposition product created by some 3 letter agency.
Slavoj Zizek
- “Immigration has to be restricted to prevent the rise of Fascism.”
- Helped work to overthrow Yugoslavia.
- He’s anti-USSR, anti bolivarian revolution, supported the coups in Ukraine and Libya
- Thinks socialism died a long time ago in Cuba, that everyone lives there because of a misguided devotion to Castro, and thinks the bolivarian revolution will soon fail.
- Defines Marxism: “Marx wanted a return to traditional values.”
He also needlessly went easy on Jordan Peterson

Hes 100% an asset. He was a member of the Communist Party of Slovenia for decades during Socialist Yugoslavia, so he definetely knows marxism leninism. He left the party in 1988 and joined the slovenian liberal and separatist CIA funded opposition. He wasnt just a random naive student mind you, he was 40 years old and had been a Communist Party member for 20 years. He became a prominent figure of the slovenian opposition and ran for the 1990 yugoslav elections with the Liberal Democratic Party of Slovenia, a liberal and separatist party. He still called himself a communist for some reason. Hes either an asset or an extreme opportunist doing anything to stay famous.
thanks for this, had no idea. good to know this kind of history for someone who’s obviously awful
Oof, this guy is just a poorly disguised liberal
Holy fuck, i knew he was a lib but i didnt know it was this bad. Mf was a candidate for the Liberal Democratic Party of Slovenia too in the 1990 elections in Yugoslavia. What a piece of shit traitor. He supports the CIA funded libs that destroyed yugoslav socialism and has the gull to call himself a communist. What a fucking tool. He needs to get the wall. Cant wait for him to rant about how Matrix is real communism in front of the firing squad. Fucking bastard.
Yeah, his quirkiness, and his emphasis on media criticism as opposed to materialist analyses of production that appeals to “intellectual” / champagne socialists and college liberals, is why I think he’s so popular with the western left.

If there were awards on this site I’d award this comment. Couldn’t agree more.
I think you’re on to something, I constantly keep getting videos featuring him recommended to me online, whereas actual finding marxist stuff I need to constantly fight uphill against the algorithms to dig up.
Zizek is such a fucking tool
I really loved him until I finished my radicalization and then i…didn’t
he was okay until he said anything concrete lol
A question like ‘Did US intelligence-sharing with Ukraine cross a line?’ forgets the fact that it was Russia that crossed the line – by invading Ukraine
We really don’t have a defense for the intelligence sharing, do we? We committed an act of war for a conflict we’re not involved in, but don’t talk about that. Keep talking about Russia.
“But MuH RuSISia MuH InVAde!” is such a tiresome argument.
same as “But muh ArAb LeAgUe MuH iNvAdE”
We’ll see plenty of “socialists” be “right” in 40 years
I’d be surprised if there’s anyone still around to be ‘right’ in 40 years lol
Even without this, sending billions of dollars’ worth of weapons to Ukraine should be more than enough to constitute a declaration of war against Russia
They’re weapons, Martha. What are they going to do with them? Grill hotdogs?
We must stop letting imperialists define the terms of the Ukraine crisis
A question like ‘Did the Russian invasion of Ukraine cross a line?’ forgets the fact that it was Ukraine & NATO that crossed the line that’s been established for decades - by threatening to deploy nuclear weapons and murdering thousands of ethnic Russians on Russias doorstep
