      2007 I told a friend how Zizek talks about revolution but does nothing for it. My friend told me that maybe him flying across the world talking to a set of 200-600 students at a time the same set is his part of the revolution, to which I just have to add that he is an entertaining shipwreck, but not material enough for anything deep to happen.

      Ground game, how about any relationship with reality at all.

          That he is a philosopher and not a political leader is pretty obvious, but he is to some extent "trotted out" because he is edgey and has like a picture of Mao or something.

          To me he seems like a smart version of Jordan Peterson. I am sure he makes valuable contributions to his obscure field of study, but I don't see what he offers the leftist politcal movement more broadly aside from a lot of headaches and confusion.
