This board has been taken over by Jordan Petersen and Nick Land to the extreme lately, so can we show some love to the original /lit/ philosopher

Read pic related quite recently, I would heavily recommend it. Zizek only has the introduction, but it's a good introduction, which if I remember correctly focuses a lot on the concept of "divine violence". Interesting stuff.

It was suggested to me in other thread (one with anime ass and Zizek below) that I should read "First as tragedy, then as farce. Bought the book, haven't read it yet.
But I think that pretty much makes me a communist, as much as having Bible makes you Christian.

Can't tell if you are being ironic or not, but both of those things (christian and communist) are decided by your actions, not your books or thoughts.

Pic related, from another thread on Zizek

Wow

Props to you for posting this and for the original poster. I had no idea Zizek was so interesting. That is dead-on what I've been trying to find in contemporary philosophers, on about six different levels. I knew Zizek was intersecting with a couple of these themes but I would always put off finding out just what he's about, because he seems to be a graphomaniac.

Not that hard, he's a lot clearer in text form than when he speaks publicly. I haven't read nearly enough of his stuff, but "Welcome to the Desert of the Real" has some interesting takes on 9/11 and its impact, and "Demanding the Impossible" is a nice summary of his views on a lot of topics
