    Yeah, his quirkiness, and his emphasis on media criticism as opposed to materialist analyses of production that appeals to “intellectual” / champagne socialists and college liberals, is why I think he’s so popular with the western left.

      I never liked him, even when i was a leftie liberal. It seemed so stupid to me his incessant comparisons of communism to hollywood movies like Matrix. Not that theres anything wrong with Matrix, i like that movie and its definetely a good movie and has political themes. But its one thing to make a comparison between communism and Matrix once as a thought experiment, and its another to base your entire politics off that. Its just stupid and screams western privileged nerd so much.
