    Reminder that Zizek ran for political office in Slovenia on an explicitly anti-communist platform after the dismantling of socialist Yugoslavia. He's such a fucking nonsense peddler, what with his typical anecdotes that seem profound on the surface but are scarcely more than meaningless koans, sans the meditation part. The embodiment of a detached ivory tower pseudo-leftist intellectual aggressively sniffing his own farts. The tails to Chomsky's heads side of the same coin.
