    It's always funny to me how western media tries to frame this as a bad thing.

    "Not even their elites are safe from their government!" Oh no, how terrible that they face consequences for their actions like the rest of us

      That was one of the weirdest parts of a really awful interview Zizek did, "The most dangerous place to be was on top" under Stalin and that this was worse than what the Nazis did.

        lmao the higher ups have more power, therefore more responsibility and culpability for wrongdoing, therefore they are more severely punished. What a fucking mystery that the people who did the most wrong had the most power?

        What a fucking astute observation by brain genius Zizek

        I struggle to even say Zizek is a misguided socialist. He's a cranky without useful analysis. The only two things he's done well are his ramblings on consuming anticapitalist media and making Jordan Peterson look dumb.

          He has had some interesting and even insightful things to say, but most of that is well in the past now. Now he's just the court jester of neoliberalism.
