Can someone explain why socialists redditors worships Slajov Zizek, despite he is against politically correctness?
I thought they were against brocialists.

I guess people don't fit nicely inside of the boxes you draw around them.

The internet left has this weird unhealthy worship of him. Even where it's more ironic, like here, it's dangerous in that newer people tend to get sucked into the "muh-slovenian-sniffer-can-do-no-wrong" attitude.
Honestly he's a figure more suited to the 90's, when he shocked an appalled simply by virtue of being a Marxist philosopher as the Soviet Union/Yugoslavia fell.
Angel Fisher
Seriously, this. What specific class of r/socialism patrons are you talking about?
Nathan Young
SJW tankies worship Stalin despite him cracking down on faggots and being a cislord supreme. They're just not consistent.
Jackson Hill
I think they mostly just like his analysis of ideology, which is pretty decent. Also he's pretty memeworthy and most importantly alive.
I like him because he talks shit on liberals.
Isaiah Young
I used to browse Reddit. r/badphilosophy liked him.
Wyatt Allen
They do? News to me.
Tyler Cox
I think you're mistaken, badphil hates him for being too well-liked or something. /r/fullcommunism likes him because he calls himself a communist sometimes and likes to humiliate liberals.
Cooper Morris
Plenty of /r/socialism do like him, there's even several flags of him you can choose to display beside your name there.
There was even a thread on it about the leftforum BS lately. And while there were some tankies and some trots calling him a false-leftist, crypto-facist, whatever ; plenty were arguing against that ( and the upvote-downvote counts reflected that).
Not to mention that most leftist subs (including /r/fulltankyism ) like to use the "Pure Ideology" meme.
Chase Cook
Let me guess they were ortho-trots? I always wondered if there was some kind of mimesis with tankies and some trots

As shitty as /r/socialism is, there's plenty of people on there that reject identity politics and bourgeois political correctness.
Hunter King
Fascists accusing others of being fascists just wow
Leo Lewis
badphil just finds him funny
Jack Jenkins
r/badphil hates on us too :/
Tyler Collins
fully rejecting idpol is a better way to divide the prole than fully embracing bourgeois feminism/liberalism though
Easton Cook
not surprised tbh, though they do steal a fair amount of our memes so who cares
Henry Mitchell
"no"?
Isaac Price
This explains the current board atmosphere
Eli Morris
They usually ban the other person
Jaxon Watson
Reddit is a spook. Relax.
Carson Rivera
I never got the hate for reddit. Sure it a crap site but why does everything a chan likes can't be liked by reddit, and anything reddit likes can't be liked by chans. I've seen this mentality in literally every board I've spent time on.
Kayden Nelson
nah, /r/badphil is the most receptive to leftypol
the only criticism I've seen was from incensed liberals who saw a "not my comrades" joke
Easton Perez
No it isn't. That massive fallacy is part of the reason why the modern "left" is so absolutely garbage.
Jace Green
Reddit is tumblr tier "socialism', fuck those niggers.
Cooper Cruz
Well its a place that avoid debate and just incentive circle jerk and so on because of the "upboat" system, you will only spawn retards with no opinions in that kind of environment.
Jayden Green
yeah, orthodox trotskyism is a strange thing to encounter these days–simultaneously defending stalinism unconditionally and insisting they're not stalinists
this tbqh, reddit is a really terrible platform for political discussion of any kind even by internet standards
Jaxon Baker
I don't think you can blame the software infrastructure for that, tbh.
Chase Nelson
Yo, what kind of reformist socialist are you?
William Walker
it's a great way to alienate most of the workers
Tyler Roberts
I was right next to this idiot, he doesn't even post the coolest part, where zizek recieved a copy of the works of Murray Bookchin from Bookchin's own daughter. Fucking retarded Left Forum kids, he gets the opportunity to ask one question to the foremost intellectual of the moment and he memes all over it….
