He is a right-winger disguised as a leftist I claim.

...

You know, you should be sent to the gulag.

He's a commie. No right winger would ever call themselves the c word.

Charlatan, has nothing really creative or original to say to the conversation. He just uses a Marxist frame to make socialist feel good. It not really hard, I've made leftist agree to many right wing ideas when using flowery language.

He needs to get laid, until then he's just some gross, unbearable neckbeard spouting sophistry

Do you think his whole act is actually helpful then, since it's keeping leftists from becoming sjws?

He's married. To a very lucky woman ; )

He has a son and was married three times, I think.

I think he just makes them feel good. I don't think he really keeps other people from becoming sjw except those who haven't read deeply into communism literature. True commies would either A. getting prepared in someway to hijack the anti-trump movement B. just wait for the long game. Look into some separatist movements since communism was invented, you'll find some commie intellectuals and fighter to be part of the scene.

>Do you think
I would prefer not to.

Ah, bartleby

wasn't he married to a south american model once

Ive read him quite a bit and there is a fuck ton of assumptions made on his part. Not going to deny psychoanalysis completely but some of the shit they come up with to explain something just seems sketchy at times.

or he is undermining what has become of "leftism".

He's a Brezhnevite, which is now considered right wing relative to the pozzed left.

I read part of his most famous, breakout book "the sublime object of ideology" it's an incomprehensible post-lacanian wankfest. The man himself seems genial enough, watched a few of his talks and I understand why people enjoy the personality but as an intellectual he's average.

he's obliterated SJW pussy from Slovenia to Iran

He's supposed to be a political theorist but often he just rants offtopic, I can only handle his writing.

It's incredible the shit he can get away with saying just because he labels himself a commie, like saying immigration is a scam, globalism is a scam, that power should be taken by force and held by leftwing dictators.

He openly lamented that the left was so stupid to allow for the current radical political shift to the right all over Europe and US/world because they were supposed to take advantage of the chaos from the death of globalism and assume the dictatorship (as to him, democracy is an illusion as all the media is corrupt/fake and voting manipulated as much as possible).

I would pay to see him debate Jordon Peterson

Please don't, it would be a waste of Peterson's time.

But then how would you cup his dusty balls?

I imagine they would be an interesting duo to discuss films and would reach very similar and interesting conclusions.
However at some point Peterson would go full gulag archipelago on him and it would be fairly heated and entertaining.

>"sort yourself out, man"
>"I would prefer not to" *rubs nose*
/debate

There is no such thing as an illegitimate philosopher.

Peterson would do all the talking with Žižek saying yes or but...
Really you might have Žižek commentary of Peterson's lectures.

wut?

He is the only decent philosopher the left has.

> philosophy
> legitamate

Philosophy is a very crude tool for trying to determine truth. It was made obsolete by science, but nobody who studies it wants to admit they've wasted 4 years or even decades of their lives. Philosophy is bullshit because it attempts to answer questions humans just can't answer (with the knowledge and tools we have today) without necessarily using logic or by shifting the burden of proof (as using logic won't allow you to reach any conclusions, there is no god, moral facts, etc. if you approach the question logically because there is no evidence of any of this shit).

Naw, just look up Mark Blyth. Has more original thoughts than Žižek. The left has a few intellectuals left. Blyth can be very cuck though

Even better, Zizek is the real face of leftism which is Linksfaschismus. He considers anything that isn't a violent Lenin-like takeover, complete with firing squads/purges, terrorism, and "forced reeducation to establish a permanent dictatorship of the proletariat" to be utterly false leftism and continually blows holes in their ideology as just capitalists in a different shade of suit.

Normies like to toy with diet leftism so they can virtue signal but they have no idea what it's true face is because we hardly ever see it these days. Back in the 60s and 70s you definitely saw it's true face when radicals were setting off car bombs and assassinations all over Europe/Canada/Everywhere. The plan has always been to cause enough chaos and destabilization in order to seize power and abolish elections like Lenin, Mao, ect.

>wut?
It is a Zizek joke. You would know this if you were not so full of shit.

I would join the Esoteric Order of Dagon to see him debate Nick Land

What is Principia Mathematica. What is everything written by Descartes. What is Kurt Godel. What is Gottlob Frege.

Don't be a pleb, without philosopher's demand and hard work for 'logic' to applied to mathematics there would be no axiomatic formal reasoning in math as they were more than happy to live with non rigor for 3,000 years.

he was interesting now he's becoming irrelevant really quickly because he can't jump off the leftist bandwagon

Completely legit

*sniff*

all blyth does is repeat memes he's heard elsewhere

He could be a genious but I wouldn't know because I can't get past his shit lisp


I doubt it though he's a commie

He's one of the great thinkers of our time. You should be asking on /lit/, though, not here.

He 'lost' relevancy when he said Trump was better than HRC and all of the leftists turned against him. He's since recanted.

He said trump was better then hrc because it would bring the revolution quicker

He's trash

what iz zee meening of zeez scat toads?

>dont criticise muh drumpf!

kys

There's nothing right wing about him, he's just a realist and pragmatist when it comes to use of state power. His fundamental beliefs are those of an orthodox marxist.

That's true, but also short of that: Trump is better because he would 'shake-up' the Establishment and World Order, whereas HRC keeps us in this corporate middleground where most of us lose forever.

>using the word drumpf

*tugs shirt* and so on and so on

Why are there so many threads about this guy lately? Communism is always shit.

A movie critic with to much media attention

He supported Trump. He isn't a communist.

>pol is an american hugbox
Kys

More Mao/Stalin than Marx

Zizek specifically shills for Bureaucratic collectivism where an invisible state, whose mechanisms work in the background, is solely run by elites like himself and guys like Yanis Varoufakis arbitrarily make decisions because they know what is best and we as plebs should have no involvement. He repeatedly says its exactly like the state Stalin set up but without one god like dictator there will be a team of dictators, and the bureaucratic socialism will work instead of collapse like it did under Stalin's ultra inept leadership.

This is his grand plan, a commie empire ruled by elites that purges all dissent and disposes forever of democracy.

see

>what is accelerationism

This is accurate.

I also see nothing wrong with it.

You seem insecure

He said that on Tavis Smiley like a week ago, right? Or has he always been saying that

He at least red pills leftists that democracy is largely a sham, and advocates for a community that removes desperation and poverty but on the other hand does not cater to the whims of the masses. Tyrone waving guns would get the noose and any media trying to destabalize would get the gulag in such a system it's pretty hilarious when he says this shit to a room full of university wannabe leftists. It's national socialism basically but without the eugenics

this, blyth is not original thinker, he's not even an "economist" as in he's not publishing much peer reviewed research as per IDEAS/RePec score. his thoughts are mostly from branko milanovic

Based leaf.

Thanks for raising the bar on pol with your quality posts.

and rodrik etc. He's a great comedian though

he just wants the singapore/chinese model

he's fuckin' spooked lol

Stalinism was kind of right wing.

So he is a "right-wing" Communist on par with Lenin then?

if you define 'right-wing' as something other than what it means, sure.

Out of all the things, a lisp is what annoys you about him?

It's not his communism we care about.

>sniff sniff

does anyone have the "the myth of consentual sex" Zizek meme?
