Alexandr Dugin's absurd mysticism, or why sounding deep does not make you wise
  • Zizek never tried to understand asian leftism because it is not ''real socialism'', he wrote the foreword for an edition of Mao's on practice and on contradiction which he argues that there is no real Maoists in the world except Alain Badiou (which is hilarious because Wanghui, Mobo Gao and some other people in the New left have similar views in regards to some good thing happening with the cultural revolution). He also describes modern day china as Confucianism which is also pretty funny because the early Chinese communists did try to sinofy Marxism-Leninism so this is not really that new of a concept. Zizek's appeal to eurocommies is just that his audience is as uninform as himself, so he sounds smart when he says something ''new''.

    He was always a socdem, there is a interview of him saying that climate change can only be solve with his ''communism'' which he never defined it clearly except saying that there needs to be bare minimum welfare for citizen survival with a degree of authoritarianism. I don't see how this is new, he just described every right wing european political parties that throws a bone to their countries' pensioners

  • Zizek had written about Wanghui this year on how dangerous Wanghui's ideas are for the stability of the western democracies. As far as i know WangHui never responded

  • Dugin portrays himself and his "new" ideology (really just banal conservatism, there is nothing original about it) as the antithesis to western liberalism. But in fact he and the liberals are very much alike

    This is what WangHui, Zizek's Archenemy, said about Dugin too

    ‘We can’t confuse Hamas with all Palestinians’: Spain says amid aid review
  • Hamas has supporters because they are the only one who fight. If tomorrow, Hamas disappears, there will be another group that Palestinians would support and another and another until there are no reasons for the Palestinians to resist

    you don't need to like them or anything (this is not liberalism and freedom of association is not real), our morals or opinions can't stop the mechanism that is taking place in the place
