One cannot but note the "miraculous" nature of the events in Egypt: something has happened that few predicted, violating the experts' opinions, as if the uprising was not simply the result of social causes but the intervention of a mysterious agency that we can call, in a Platonic way, the eternal idea of freedom, justice and dignity.

Regardless of what he says in this article much of which comes across as coherent, and Pro People, etc ...

But Zizek is nothing but a Blood thirsty SOB ... That's all I have to say about this Jacobin Driven Sadist. If Not God ... May Wisdom Protect the Egyptian Intelligensia from such demagogue ANN TELECTUALS !

Just Like Michel Foucault if not worse:

The philosopher and the ayatollah - The Boston Globe

 

Eversince firsthand experience of the Islamic Revolution and it's excesses I immediately recognize of what Mold such an individual is made of behind his so called Academic Bulllshiting.

Be it for not seeing such tragedies repeated:

BOOK: EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME By Afschineh Latifi ( A Memoir )

I would Fight scums like him to the last Breath in my body if I could. He is No different than Khalkhali ! Probably even more dangerous cause he is an Ideologue.

Historian Simon Schama Confronts Slavoj Zizek views on Robespierre's Controversial Legacy:
