Zizek is the intellectual love of my life: self aware, funny, erudite, and ridiculously current.

I m from china and i cannot agree him more

I always feel sad/angry/bad when someone irresponsibly blame CPR government for what happened at the end of the Tiananmen Square protest

@pdecarlo yea he doesn't lend enough credence to the transmodern theory of postanarchist structurally dialectical stateless collective communitarianism

[pdecarlo]

I think Slavoj's analysis of anarchist theory and movements is lacking.
