Members of the Democratic Socialists of America are thinking seriously about a national presidential campaign for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in 2028 that would reach millions of working people and have the potential to transform American politics.
I love it when I see some overly online person - the same types that would complain that Chomsky is some kind of right-wing stooge - complain about some way that they were betrayed by AOC.
I mean, FFS. I imagine quite a few of these posters are probably just Russian plants meant to split the Democratic party, but I do know some of these types IRL, so some people actually hold these ridiculous views.
I honestly have no idea what to make of Zizek, TBF. Chomsky got me-too’ed over Epstein, it seems, but I’m not someone that believes in the idea of throwing out an entire body of work, so I value a lot of his critique of American empire and so on.
I’ve tried with Zizek and I just haven’t really found a way in. If there is something highly recommended, I’d check it out.
Came here to say this.

The same complaint is made on Zizek as being a right wing plant.
