It has to be said: The reason clown Slavoj Zizek became a celebrity is because he has never actually challenged power
Zizek has supported Western regime-change campaigns for decades. He conveniently always makes a fake "left" case to side with imperialism

Zizek is in fact useful to anti-communist reactionaries. Because all he does is make stupid jokes about so-called "Stalinism," while ignoring and whitewashing the crimes of imperialism, and instead distracting the left by focusing on dumb culture wars and "political correctness"
Zizek triangulates to attack every actually existing socialist gov't from the right and left
He condescendingly demonized Venezuela's Bolivarian Revolution for "not going far enough"
But at the same time he supports every new milquetoast socdem movement, from SYRIZA to Sanders

In fact not only does lifelong anti-communist Slavoj Zizek make excuses for and whitewash US-NATO-EU imperialism (when he's not ignoring it); he even goes further and claims China & Russia are new "colonialists" who are supposedly worse
Total useful idiot

It's obvious that Slavoj Zizek doesn't threaten power in any way. The ruling class in fact likes him: The voice of liberal imperialism, Foreign Policy magazine, chose him as one of its top 100 global thinkers -- alongside a Who's Who of imperial leaders

Why do liberal anti-communist publications that oppose every existing socialist gov't love Slavoj Zizek? Because he's one of them! He's been anti-communist his entire life.
Encyclopedia Britannica happily notes Zizek was part of the anti-Titoist liberal opposition in Yugoslavia.
