Does Zizek have an ideology, or just theory? What's the difference between ideology and theory?

lacano-hegelian communist
Parker Smith
Zizek calls himself a communist who's anti-communist, sometimes, or a Marxist, among other things…
Theory tends to stimulate examination and debate by offering many causes for a current, political dilemma. Ideology on the other hand "thinks" practically, holds firm views, and seeks to justify, or rather enact through persuasion, reform or revolution without serious analytical content. Theorists like to study facts and trends and then abstract them into universal concepts while ideologues achieve the appropriate arrangement by obscuring the relationship to the real conditions of existence.

so materialism vs idealism
Xavier Bennett
Well, no. Both theorists and ideologues are materialist in one way or another.
But then again,
materialism is just another flavour of idealism.
Aiden Fisher
Ideology is basically the abscence of theory. Theory is basically reasoned and logical and ideology is biased, not well thought out or based on common-sense.
Elijah Bennett
literally has never read zizek
Justin Roberts
I never claimed to. That's the definitions I was taught in school.
Luke Anderson
Isn't he just the leftist version of Aleksandr Dugin? So, basically a meme and the closer you look, the more contradictions, empty phrases and mistakes you discover?

I realize that what i learned in philosophy courses may not at all be relevant to Zizek and critical theory. But seeing this quote above, I want to know where I got it wrong.
