content: I think Zizek is our modern Strasser, he bridges the social left and the social right on grounds of free thought and free speech, his claim to being a leninist is a ploy to draw in people for conversation, he draws the radical left in and shows them the failures central to communism he draws in the right because he's the only communist willing to debate and he essentially folds and attacks the cultural weaknesses of a capitalist system where money supercedes culture and social order. He isn't a communist except in name, his expectation is that something beyond the dichotomy of free market Vs centrally planned economy will come up this century and take the west by storm, that time will gives us the chance to pick and choose and evaluate functional elements from different economic and social systems. His idea is a blending of right and left in places most haven't tried in a century. I voted Trump because of Marx, automation is coming and we need the means of production if we are to survive it. Getting our jobs back from China means making products here and it will stuck as robots take them away again but those robots will be in our country where we can tax them. I will admit that Zizek is a social degenerate but compared to the degenerates of our day he is quite tame.
