There's a lot of room to criticize zizek from the left though, none of it involves that cynical idpol cooption bullshit or the idea that he's 'problematic'.
he doesn't even really say anything that isnt obvious shit and makes it sound more complicated by using hegelspeak. some of his takes are good, some of them are bad, but Zizek isn't really some groundbreaking contemporary marxist. that or he's just being an edgy racoon man.
i mean yes and no, china theoretically is well on their way to defeating capitalism. theoretically. i pretty much agree on all your other points though. I'm unfamiliar with The Sublime Object of Ideology and really only know him from his more recent stuff. I'll take a look at it. Maybe I shouldn't talk out of my ass so much
if you're going to go that route I think North Korea has the best strategy. America seem pretty scared to fuck with them at least.
Nationalize literally everything and make like half of it military jobs. Put everyone through boot camp and teach them how to fire a gun. Basically militarize your population, but maybe not to the same crazy degree as the Kims.
