This neoliberal prankster is thus the epitome of a radical recuperator. He cultivates and markets the appearance of radicality in order to recuperate potentially radical elements in society, particularly young people and students, within the pro-imperialist anti-communist fold. This is precisely why he is the most famous ‘Marxist’ in the capitalist world, festooned by the likes of a journal linked to the engine of U.S. imperialism. His mantra is nothing but an opportunistic perversion of the closing lines of The Communist Manifesto: “Cultural consumers of the pro-Western world unite—and buy my next book, or movie, or crossover product, or whatever, and so on, and so on!”
I know he’s not marxist but perhaps Žižek?
Zizek is more of a Hegelian by his own admission, and is essentially an “imperialist from the left.”
Interesting
zizek is a moron
how so?
idk maybe how he constantly says right wing shit?
dude chill, i was asking because i don’t know anything about him
Like what?
Read the article above. He’s very anti-immigrant, and anti-communist.
I just listened to him for five minutes and felt he was wasting my time. I like people who pick a topic and then follow through with it.
I’ve seen/heard him say interesting and thought-provoking things.
But yeah, most of the time it seems like he just likes hearing himself speak.
