Žižek has long maintained a very sober and indeed refreshing position on anything left-wing. He’s as distant from the Western caviar left as one can be and has the kind of sensitivity and empathy that I would expect from true left-wing, but combined with a deep sense of realism. Long ago, he raised criticism of political correctness that was also very controversial among caviar left circles, which is first time when I thought “okay, he’s got something to say”. I also read his books about Lenin long time ago, but that was about Lenin :)
