Zizek defends Lenin (latest tyrannophile: intellectuals who love dictators). All 20thC tyrants had intellectual fanshttps://nyti.ms/2zpe8c7
There is no defending Lenin. No more than Pol Pot or Kim Jong Un. He was an ideologue & mass murderer who paved the way for Stalin.

But does all socialist policy lead to mass murder? These mass murderer mentions seem more rhetorical than valuable to the dialectic.

Zizek’s celebrity is as a provocateur. Equally disturbing is the fawning on Mao and Castro. Che t-sorts? Warhol?!

Mao doubled life expectancy, quintupled GDP, quadrupled literacy. Mao did NOTHING wrong.

I read the review. It’s even worse than I thought. Z is defending “emancipatory” terror. Likes Robespierre. Awful

Zizek is a unique case. Highly contradictory, reactionary pseudo-fascist tendencies. Can't be categorised neatly.
-
He's a Lacanian, a lot of his stuff is bluster and shock value, and wrapped up in jokes.
