Next I'm going to find out he was instrumental in the hostile takeover of ZA/UM. :kitsuragi-depress:
this counterpunch article on him is so good because it demonstrates in excruciating detail how a self-labeled "communist" ended up getting repeatedly platformed by prominent neoliberals in the west. I first found out about Zizek in 2010 through a "Royal Society of the Arts" animated video. They were always willing to platform him because his policies were always pro-EU and pro-NATO and his "communism" was always anti-USSR.
