What's his endgame?

Žižek still believes in "the ultimate triumph of communism" in much the same way that the Asians still believe in "Eastern philosophies", or minorities believe, despite all evidence to the contrary, that they are not inferior. This is the effect of the Western locomotive. Those it doesn't physically obliterate, it freaks out into denial.

And note that this goes also for every other reactionary group ever: from hippies to real criminals. It's part of the richness and greatness of Western civilization that it can tolerate the existence of so many millions of losers and retards, while still forging full steam ahead with its goal — the creation of the Overman — without skipping a single beat. The degenerates call this steamroller effect of our culture — the marginalization of all groups not contributing to our culture's goal, and their reduction to clown- and freak-show status by our media — "social alienation", "materialism", "globalization", "desensitization", or any number of other nasty names; while between us it is known as simply "power".

recreating Yugoslavia under his own leadership

Sniffing up all the air in the world.

DON'T ACT

THINK

lol

Finally getting rid of that itching thing in his nose

Cocaine.

I don't even fucking know why he's relevant at all or why anyone wants to hear what he has to say

...

Zizek is just a workaholic Paradox Generator. He's the modern GK Chesterton (notice how he loves Chesterton despite sharing none of his opinions).

His job is to take every thought that runs through his head, and wonder whether it would be more interesting backwards. If it is, he writes it down.

It's an honest living.

one day he'll finally stop sniffing, let out a sneeze, and the world will end

To be the most unreadable author at Barnes & Noble.

That's Zizek for you.

His real endgame is to form a cult of personality around himself.

So is calling things he disagrees with "ideology", is he doing the same thing as Stirner's "spook"

To slurp all the known dicks in existence

They sorta look similiar too.

lets give it to him

to destroy Sam Hyde

because currently he is the only decent leftist.
A healthy serious righ-wing/left-wing dialectic is necessary for the progress of the humanity.

he just wants to communicate

What makes him special? As far as I can see he's the same "things you believe in aren't real" crypto-authoritarian everyone else is, aside from the showmanship.

he's a reactionary masquerading as a marxist

Not him, but I've always enjoyed his take on things.

A lot of people in the west think the history is already written on things like Stalin and the USSR but its really not the case.

Zizek is a Hegelian Marxist

Do coke, fuck bitches, publish crap, shit on praxis by "thinking" about praxis.

Read Paul Mattick, Mario Tronti, Kowłakowski, Solidarity (UK) instead.

Elitist pseudo-intellectual douchebag that supports anti positivism because he doesn't understand basic epistemology, the abstract-instructional concrete-representational model of propositional calculus, null hypothesis nor basic world history (which he flat out denies).

What is he doing? Trying to validate his existence, status, social placement, social role and ego.
So he never admits to being wrong and uses fallacy attacks against anyone that supports empiricism and deduction (positivism, falsificationism) while also shitting on those that have explored intellectual honesty (humility; absurdism) and free through (anti-teleological thinking).
That way he can stand in a state of self-serving cognitive dissonance without feeling ambivalent.

The interesting part about Frankfurt types is their inherent hypocrisy; we care about truth but fuck empiricism and logic; I'm never wrong but fuck null hypothesis; etc...

He's the King Kong of Not Even Wrong.

>butthurt analytic detected

>Analytics are stupid
>Fuck logic and science
Ok then...

it will all be revaled once Melania take the throne.

He wants to be Stalin. I'm saying this as somebody who loves Zizek and holds ambivalent views toward Stalin.

Zizek is no revolutionary -- he'll raise calls to action every so often like any good Marxist, but provides a predominately static philosophy of how capitalism does what it does. Zizek is specifically useful in cataloguing the specific ramifications of post-Cold War neoliberalism on our culture, politics, and mentation.

Zizek would definitely like to be at the reigns of a socialist society, as he is somewhat egocentric and very aware of his own ability. But he would never want to sully his hands in the transition away from capitalism. He wants to be begged by the masses to lead this new state and create communism should he so please.

He just likes to play fast and loose with Marxism and philosophy in general. His end game has already been achieved.

Duuuh, Dan Harmon's endgame is 6 seasons and a movie.

I'll buy egocentric. But where do you get this opinion that he desires to be a despot? I've never gotten that from his lectures.

Wait. There are people who think Trotsky was a rightist?

New left pls go. Zizek is one of the better critics of political correctness and recognizes it as just verbal gentrification and western feelgood.

Most of the people who vehemently hate Zizek here for some reason haven't actually read his books and know only Veeky Forums memes. Pro top: Zizek doesn't like speaking, his actual material is found in his writings.

His criticism of neoliberalism is especially spot on. Basically this: apart from the last part

Go back to bed, Nigel

He doesn't want to be an autocrat for the sake of having power -- he just wants to control an existing socialist society. Because he generally thinks poorly of other socialists, he would be uncomfortable sharing too much authority with non-subordinates.

There's this weird continent of ultra-contrarian Maoists who support ML regimes uncritically and believe any subversion against an ML regime is fascist.

They generally come to Maoism from far left Tumblr-style idpol. The idea of a cultural revolution appeals to them because they believe the eradication of sexism and racism can only be emerged through the destruction of sex and race as cultural constructs. It's "kill all men" frustration applied to a working framework with serious intentions.
