I'm not all that familiar with him, just what I read here. On one level, he seems like a guy who has some really good insights, and then some dogshit ones. And lots of takes in between.
However... that description could be about lots of people. I also understand Zizek is (apparently) a brilliant philosopher. I've also read here somewhere that his approach to philosophy or ideas in general can make him frustrating to follow for regular Marxists. Like, he's operating on a different level from us or something. And that he doesn't always say what he means.
So what's the deal with Zizek? How should I approach his writings?
:zizek-joy:
He's a dirty old man that's read Hegel. He enjoys hotdogs and using slurs ironically. He's almost certainly masturbated in the same hotel hot-tub as Werner Herzog.
So yeah, he's basically a Chapo.
Same as, or same with? It's an important distinction.
The former, but he's dreamt of the latter.
Honestly, I'd be happy to just get a narration.
