Lacanian Neo-Leninist (Maoist? Stalinist?) Nutter who is seemingly unable to ever structure more than three sentences into a coherent paragraph about anything at all. In short if you like Byzantine self-contradictory political theory explained through even more Byzantine self-contradictory French Psychoanalysis, then Zizek is for you.



I have my answer.  I will not be picking up Zizek.

Wow, you're easy to convince, aren't you? Or do you know the person you're talking to that well, that you're willing to take his word for it? Considering this is a politics forum is it really so surprising that people would react so negatively to a political thinker?

He recently published a really short, readable book where he basically explains his politics. The book is called First as Tragedy, Then as Farce and I truly recommend it. Žižek may be called a Leninist but is in no way a Stalinist. And these labels themselves can't tell you much about a thinker.
