or is it just me
I just don’t understand how you think you can “debate” a Marxist and then admit you read the communist manifesto like once in college as your prep work. Like, was he just hoping that Zizek would be a total kook?
Most critics of Marxism haven’t read any of it. They literally don’t know what it is.
This is revisionist history
I believe that the debate actually caused Jordan Peterson to resort to the unthinkable: trying a sip of apple cider, which in turn caused him to not sleep for 25 days, which then led to him getting addicted to benzos and slipping into a coma.
Not to mention Zizek is a Marxist but he is a bit of an anti communist and for the most part doesn’t really talk about the necessity of revolution, social justice, etc. He just likes to use Marxism as a tool to have interesting conversations about human belief
Zizek is not an anti-communist in any sense of the word, he’s a firmly very far fucking left postmodernist Maoist playing a joke on y’all cuz bourgeois hegemony
y’all still think you’re further left than daddy and it will never stop being hilarious
