Back when I was a leftist I listened to Slavoj Zizek a lot. I could't believe how a degenarate trotskyite-socialist website denounced him as closet rightist. Nowadays I think they have a point and it's pretty cool!

Isn't he the guy who made linux? No way he's right wing
Blake Edwards
Speaking truth isn't the sole domain of the right wing.
Isaac Howard
He got away with being able to say "profound" things to leftists by simply saying the reactionary thing and then ironically defending it and getting away with it because he identifies as a communist and the wisdom he chooses for his crowd will never have heard it because they don't move in reactionary circles, but lately he's been doing it too much and not giving them enough chicken feed to convince them he's a leftist, so they're turning on him.
Blake Nguyen
Dumbass, this is the oldest trick of all time. What you do is pretend to be a commie, but then as long as you can express yourself and you're the kind of guy people listen to, say whatever the fuck you want.
Jayden Wright
Zizek is a Marxist. He's just a Marxist Fundamentalist and modern Marxists can't handle that because it shows that their cultural revolution was and is bullshit.
Brayden Watson
He's economically left-wing but is closer to Stalinism or Juche and agrees on much of Sup Forums about "degeneracy."
Zachary Martinez
>Is Zizek an undercover right winger?
Not sure, he seems to be negative about Sup Forums in this review:
Also Wagner was far left and fought with a rifle in a far left revolution.
Carson Gonzalez
he is left wing, he is an antifascist, anti racist. he just doesn't buy identity politics, so american public may see him as right wing but he is not at all
Elijah Gonzalez
I've been thinking the same, but what Zizek is, is a rational leftist. He sees the problem with capitalism and thinks the solution is when people get together where the group is more important than their identities.
He says that identity politics values diversity and division and is against any kind of coherent communalism (as in community not communism).
He sees through the bullshit of the loony left but he's essentially an old school one. I quite like him.
Is he /leftypol/ ?
Blake Brown
8 Cuck /lefypol/ is actually very pro-identity politics and they ban talk about Strasserism and other left-wing ideologies that are considered "racist."
Jose Perez
As if combatting sheer stupidity needs a label you stupid cuck.
>One dude agrees with me on some points, we must be soulmates. You know there are intelligent marxists, right?
Juan Cox
>8 Cuck /lefypol/ is actually very pro-identity politics
This is fucking ridiculous.
The entire point of image board politics boards is discussing the uncomfortable and unpopular. Identity politics is a goddamn cornerstone of public opinion, government policy and unassailable in the media.
Is it a victim complex that lets them do this?
Eli Parker
Ah I see, even less reason to go there
Landon Collins
>intelligent >marxists Shirley you jäst
Alexander Lee
Read on hegelian dialectics
thesis-antithesis-synthesis is the holy grail of zizek
Aaron Jackson
No, he's just a philosopher and not an ideolog.
Lincoln Russell
lol he had his hand so upwards his ass right before the elections and now he's "right-wing".
He's the typical ruskie which tries to undermine you, no offense to the guy but being anti-PC doesn't make your neither red-pilled nor right-wing.
Gavin Watson
>Zizek >Ruskie He's Slovenian.
Wyatt Taylor
Yes. He outlines leftists shit to an extreme level, but when you listen long enough, he's a fucking right winger all the way. Centralist at his worst.
Samuel Davis
Zizek is one of those people who've never said anything
Benjamin Butler
'gno'
Samuel Phillips
Zizek is the intellectual equivalent of an attention whore. If Brittney venti was a philosopher it would be zizek.
Hudson Cooper
ahhahahahahahhaa
Blake Hall
all philophers are just attention whores, they have to meme their way into being recognized by the public. Peterson put on a fucking frog hat and you autists were drooling like Zizek's buttocks after a session of lubricated assfuck
Juan Perry
>shares come reactionary beliefs and cites conservative philosophers >he's right wing
Sorry user, you are just not well read enough to consider his position. Reactionary ideology has almost the same critique of liberalism as leftists, but differs on the end result.
Anthony Cooper
zizek is a kike lover and bourgeois spambot tingeltangel talkshow bot . he has always the "right" opinion as he wants to appear on TV - but he is not a rightwinger
Jayden Reed
The left/right dichotomy doesn't apply to Zizek. He's always been explicit with his opinions, and has consistently expressed totalizing views in his writings. Dude essentially views humankind as a cancer metastasizing across the earth, politicians being the worst of the bunch. More of a black piller, honestly
Joshua Bennett
Also if I recall correctly she was one of his grad students (not uncommon in "academia"). I remember reading somewhere they're now divorced
Hunter Murphy
In the western world the left is really the bourgeoisie. Modern leftist values are really bourgeois values only capable of being sustained in a capitalist country with plenty of money to throw around.
Liam Perez
Self proclaimed Marxist, in reality hard core Centrist. Case closed
Jackson Davis
no. nononononononono. slide this thread. hes an idiot. and an embarrassment.
Brandon Gutierrez
He just wants totaliarism and death camps, doesn't matter who runs them.
Adrian Parker
He's the Slovenian Kanye West
Julian Nelson
No, he is just a actually communist intellectual as they used to be in the 50s before they were infected by SJWism.
Zachary Phillips
The greats at least do it in a respectable way.
Thomas Ortiz
Marxism has alwys been about rich vs. the poor, not white male vs. the rest as the modern day SJWs want to potray it.
Hunter Flores
He was talking about intellect, not souls.
Blake Stewart
And if you keep this in mind you can undestand the position of Žižek. Marxism was never really about hating your own country.
James Martin
sounds legit
Jayden Sanders
kek
Dylan Davis
Do you even Hegel? Neo Platonists aren't Marxist in the traditional sense. Not in any sense if you push them hard enough.
Brandon Allen
This. Only noticed it when I began reading conservatives and traditionalists next to the leftist texts I read at university.
Christian Torres
he's a drunk rambling idiot
Gavin Reed
He's not a right winger. Nor a modern left winger. He's more of a very old school marxist. I would know it because my grandpa is from a commie country and was a true Marxist. Believe me, he would have killed a faggot outspring. Old school Marxists see the modern society as a whole as some sort of daily show, ie very empty, vain, and fake. He's disgusted by modern day Marxism.
Kayden Sullivan
Nah, he's just a BASED old-school Socialist who hates the way the left is defined by Middle-Class Bourgosie Activists or is defined by Neo-Liberals.
