Slavoj Zizek is one of the world's most controversial political philosophers. From the 9/11 terrorist attacks to the global financial meltdown he portrays a liberal capitalist system in crisis.
He still calls himself a Communist but describes its 20th Century version as a total failure. But how seriously should we take a man who sees the good in Stalin?
Zizek is brilliant and I disagree with him on many points--the secular statist theory of Israel for instance ignores the outside influence (tremendous) by wealthy elites from America in particular, using the right wing in the Knesset as a kind of rag-doll dummy in the region. But, he's brilliant.
All the best!
