Zizek is one of those "philosophers" that talks in cryptic analogies and inuendos so that everyone interprets it thier own way and in that way he gets many people who don't actually agree with each other to think they are all agreeing. It's a trick that mediums use to convince people they know more than they do by tricking the mark into filling in the information themselves.

I don't think it's on accident either. It seems that all socialism/communism is spread like this. No two collectivists can agree on the details of how thier version of socialism/communism will work but they all think they are agreeing with each other. And they all agree that the only reason socialism and communism has failed every time is because it was done wrong. It wasn't done thier way.

The worst fate is for a socialist to live in a socialist state not under control by his friends.
