A rambling but entertaining look at modern capitalism and global politics today, through the typical Žižekian cypher of jokes and film theory. Some key passages in amongst a world of waffle.

Slavoj Zizek can’t make it through a page without going off topic three times.

It‰ЫЄs easy to get lost within some of the ramblings, but there is some interesting arguments. Zizek isn‰ЫЄt really someone I could recommend, but if someone read it, it‰ЫЄd be easy to have a long conversation about it.

This was a rollercoaster of a read. Žižek's pace is frantic, and while he did leap from one topic to another in a flurry, it was not too difficult to follow. His arguments and examples are coherent, presenting a good case for the revolutionary power of communism and dismantling of the evidently defunct Western liberal capitalist democracy. The broad use of examples across history, politics and popular culture was helpful, though he did repeat himself a little at times. This serves as a good entry point into Žižek's work.
