but hes right about a lot of things. kind of sad that this 72 year old is one of the most influential intellectual on the left today
edit: I think this post was taken in the wrong way. You should read Zizek, he does have good ideas. I call him a "grifter" not to shut down his ideas, but rather as an acknowledgement of his limitations.
I think of him as a pipeline, he still has interesting things to say about ideology which we sort of take for granted by now. He gives you a bit of communism with a glass of anti-communism to swallow it down.
Problem is that pipeline goes both ways. Plenty of stupidpol weirdos say they got their start with him
There are better pipeline ways.
