Has Zizek actually engaged in real world struggle? Parenti has put himself out there against Western Imperialism, Chomsky engages in Palestinian struggles. WTF does Zizek do except pop culture critiques? Zizek is an Ivory tower academic, I don't think he actually believes in Communism, he just wants to be a contrarian and the other side of the extremes (Nazism) is absolutely not acceptable in the mainstream. Didn't he run as a Liberal politician after the fall of the Eastern Bloc?

To be fair communism is pretty unacceptable too, but yeah I agree Zizek has never done or said anything that has put himself or his job in jeopardy.
