Jacobin vs. Zizek

...

The fact that he brings them up isn't really the problem, but that he uses them to brush aside this :

This is fucking leftism 101. It doesn't really matter if you are more authoritarian or libertarian and have a different answer to this problem, the fact is that bourgeois democracy is a tool of the ruling class.

they really couldn’t help themselves, could they

If only they could sniff in a written medium.

the author is certainly sniffing nose deep in the ass of the bourgeoisie

...

I couldn't read any further than that comment, to be honest.

People need to email this moron and ask him to leave.

It's like he learnt about Marx from Assassin's Creed, lel.

WEW

I WARNED YOU ABOUT JACOBIN!
I WARNED YOU!

BS!

IT'S THE CURSE OF THE LEFT! CAN'T YOU SEE IT????

Dude is def. cointel-tier

Could you enlighten a philistine about what exactly that is? Did he dislike liberal democracy or did he dislike the very concept?

Can't wait until the Chapo episode on these dudes

TROOOOOOOOOOOOOOTS

How can you dislike a concept?

same way you dislike anything else

...

I mean disliking democracy as a general practice i.e. elections, representation etc. I would guess that he wanted the workers to have democratic control over the means of production, but I admit I never read a page of his.

Should we purge these faggots before or after we purge the fascists?

But that's not a concept…

Concepts don't exist materially.

We don't think only in terms of concrete things, logical and abstract thinking is literally what makes us capable of reflection.

You're trying to be deep in the dumbest way possible.

We don't think in terms of concrete things at all.

lol check this guy

those are two completely different statements

>lol

communism is democracy's "second attempt".

it's literally anti-anti-imperialism

coming from a zionist…

Funny enough, I was the one that posted the same article to r/Zizek on Reddit.
I thought it was amusing they think he's some closet "fascist".

denk you

This is just a smear campaign. They're deliberately misinterpreting him in the most stupid way possible. 1.) he's obviously being ironic about that label of "left-fascism"; 2.) do they not know Sloterdijk's right-wing positions?

I'm not "right wing".
It's amusing how some Leftists easily call anyone they hate a "right winger".

you have to go back

I use it as an umbrella term for the far left.
I don't care to type out every special snowflake brand of leftism.

at least you don't deny being an idiot

...

Looks like the author never read on the Jewish question

gotta bring that democracy to the arabs, latin america, etc. somehow.

...

he prob didn't read shit ever

Do you want his knees broken?

I'd rather put an arrow thru it

I'll need to fix my bow before I can do that.

I'm not an idiot.
Why is using the term "leftist" so upsetting for you?
Certainly better than claiming liberals are "the left".
And technically, it encompasses anarcho-communists, socialists, marxists,etc.

As for the article, it was amusing reading another paranoid marxist that thinks Zizek is a "fascist" or a CIA agent.

This faggot should read some Benjamin. "Resignifying [the] terror" of the past is a purely symbolic gesture.

That's partly Zizek's fault then. If so many people think he's a fascist.

What the fuck?
