I unironically (and ironically) like Zizek, but he isn't much of a debater. Every time he had a discussion with someone who has different or even opposing views (Bernard Henry Levy, Will Self, David Horowitz etc.) Zizek always stuck to his jokes and routines and in the end he'll avoid confrontation or just retreat into a position where he doesn't have the answers but neither does his opponent. Here's the script in advance:

>P: Communism bad!
>Z: I agree, communism mean something else for me.
>P: Identity politics bad!
>Z: I agree, but for radical leftist and Lacanian reasons!
>P: Christianity good!
>Z: I agree, as an atheist christian!
>P: Muh lobsters
>Z: This reminds me of that old soviet joke about...
