    He has a ton of additional awful takes here, but beyond that, we should be very skeptical of people like Zizek and Fisher who’ve made their careers on doing cultural criticism ( art, movies, lit ), as opposed to materialist analyses of production and imperialism.

    That kind of criticism is typical of champagne socialists, far removed from people’s real life / every day concerns. Which is why Zizek appeals more to college students and the “intellectual” western left than does Lenin, Huey, Mao, Fanon, etc.
