What do New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Alexander Soros—George Soros’s son and heir—have in common? A shared ideological inspiration: Slavoj Žižek, the self-proclaimed “left- fascist” who seeks the West’s bloody destruction.
Zizek has been described as “the most dangerous philosopher in the West.”
His agenda is summed up in his publisher’s description of his 2008 book, In Defense of Lost Causes : “Žižek argues the case for revolutionary terror and the dictatorship of the proletariat.” The “lost causes” he wants to revive and succeed are those of the Bolsheviks, Mao Tse-tung, and Robespierre. The Iranian Islamic Revolution of 1979 and fascism were “‘right steps in the wrong direction.”
His book’s condemnation of Hitler reads, “Crazy, tasteless even, as it may sound, the problem with Hitler was that he was not violent enough… Nazism was not radical enough; it did not dare to disturb the basic structure of the modern capitalist social space.”
Although he says he is a supporter of Ukraine, he defends his relationship with the Russian government through RT, a state-controlled propaganda outlet that oversees an “empire of covert projects” influencing public opinion in the West.
Zizek also authored a collection of Lenin’s writings. The description advertising it says: “Žižek is convinced that, whatever the discussion—the forthcoming crisis of capitalism, the possibility of a redemptive violence, the falsity of liberal tolerance—Lenin’s time has come again.”
Zizek’s objective is not to win a battle of ideas—but to win a war of bloodshed and destruction so his ideas cannot be resisted. His vision is, he put it, one of “divine violence.” He writes: “The most obvious candidate for ‘divine violence’ is the violent explosion of resentment which finds expression in a spectrum that ranges from mob lynchings to revolutionary terror.” In another book, Zizek wrote , “Better the worst Stalinist terror than the most liberal capitalist democracy.”
This is the man whom Soros proudly posted a photo of himself meeting; a man who keeps a portrait of Stalin hanging in his apartment . Soros happily informed Zizek that NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is a “fan” of his.
“Slavoj Zizek is one of the greatest living philosophers, disrupters, and cultural critics—one of a kind in many ways. Having wrestled with his works and provocations since I was a young student, I am grateful to our mutual friend…for introducing us and giving us the chance to exchange and debate our views,” Soros wrote.
