Do people only shill this hack because he's a communist? I know Veeky Forums is full of butthurt nu-male lefties who are still mad about /pol/ being a better board, but surely you could shill someone like Chomsky instead?
If you want someone who isn't an ideologue who denies the suffering of tens of millions under communist tyranny, listen to Jordan Peterson.
I thought zizek was more of a neo humanist.
He is well read in psychoanalysis and uses his experiences living under communism and capitalism to really say that any ideology is really a big fucking joke ment to subjugate the population.
He seems more of a reaction to the "postive" psychology movement than anything.
But t high ats probably my own ideological bias to see everything in psychological terms.
Holy shit how is peterson even lit?
Isnt he just some shitposter that graduated to being a youtube faggot.
Regardless of his politics Zizek is a charismatic, engaging SNIFF speaker. He's SNIFF hardly a hack. I don't have a problem with Peterson but the tone of your post is one reason he gets backlash here.
>Jordan Peterson
PURE IDEOLOGY
>Do people only shill this hack because he's a communist?
no, it's mainly because he used to be an entertaining speaker
Žižek's "communism" is meaningless, he doesn't have any political program at all and seems to mainly advocate reforms which even liberals would support. You read him as a continental philosopher, not the next Marx - he says himself that his life's work has been about Lacan and Hegel.
