Five years ago, we wrote on the occasion of an appearance by Žižek in New York:
“Zizek is an outgrowth of a reactionary anti-Marxist and
anti-materialist tradition that descends from the irrationalism of
Schelling, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Heidegger. He eclectically draws
on the neo-Nietzschean and neo-Heideggerian thought of 1960s French
post-structuralism…
Zizek, “as with the post-structuralists and the post-Maoists, is a
political opportunist, though crasser and ruder. Despite all the
radical-sounding bluster he pumps off, when it comes down to real
politics, not the political phantoms in his brain, his positions end up
serving interests that are completely hostile to the international
working class and to genuine socialism.” link
