In response to:
Mr Zizek seems to suffer from a particularly acute, and pitiful in a 'philosopher', version of that infamous rural Eastern European hubris, arrogance and insolence, running on a mistaken and unsustained concept of self-importance that in Hebrew has been called 'chutzpah' and that Mr Liam Neeson dealt with so 'adroitly' in his famous 'Marko from Tropoja' scene in the film Taken.
Symptomatic of Mr Zizek's poor, reactionary, 'post-modernist' and, above all, anti-Marxist interpretation of the world situation and its freedom or lack of it, has to be, of necessity, linked to WESTERN conceptions of freedom and the rational or irrational reflexions of Western philosophy and its followers (Marx, Heidegger, Mao...), East, West, North or South. That is, freedom and the critique of freedom and the ways to obtain it are, essentially, Western concepts and debates and we can assure the author that many in the West are aware and perfectly concious of the shortcomings, difficulties or lack of it, without doubt to a much greater degree that in any other part of the world.
Indeed, Mr Zizek appears to be an uncritical victim of the propaganda of a class dominated media and academia that, East and West, endeavours to portray a total agreement of the populations with class exploitation and its brutal 'cultural' products of conformity and ideological enslavement. Mr Zizek, in his confounded and fake East-West rivalry, itself a product of new and ruthless exploitative elites in the East in connivence with those of the West, mistakes the illusions and lies of the oligarchies with reality.
