“Enemy of my enemy is my friend” might sound logical but it has a nasty tendency to leave you with some very dubious friends.

Don’t forget that Zizek has a tendency to provoke people to get them to start thinking differently. He also has a Stalin portrait in his hallway. So, first of all there is probably some amount of satire in his statement.
-
Hey, don’t get me wrong, I do love me a good laugh at the expense of all the people that suffered under Stalin as much as the next guy. Having just toured the House of Terror in Budapest, I’d recommend Mr. Zizek do the same before so casually exercising his frivolous satire.
-
Agreed, I’m just doing a course on the history of Stalinism, so I find that pretty tasteless too. But then, once you ignore the inappropriateness he’s actually a pretty rigorous thinker who has some good insights into why the left is failing so badly right now.

How I read this is that he actually wants to point out that the left is too stupid to do their job, so the alt-right is filling a vacuum. A kind of “your right is more left than you fake lefties” type thing.
