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.
This should chill every American.
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.
Ironically, Zizek has harshly ridiculed Soros as one of the “liberal Communist(s)” who are “the enemy of every true progressive struggle today” but who may be “tactical” allies against “racism, sexism and religious obscurantism.”
The problem with Soros, he wrote, is that he and other “liberal Communists” believe in “a new, postmodern version of Adam Smith’s invisible hand: the market and social responsibility are not opposites, but can be reunited for mutual benefit.” In other words, their sin is supporting capitalism on even the most basic level.
Zizek continues:
“Soros’s daily routine is a lie embodied: half of his working time is devoted to financial speculation, the other half to ‘humanitarian’ activities (financing cultural and democratic activities in post-Communist countries, writing essays and books) which work against the effects of his own speculations. The two faces of Bill Gates are exactly like the two faces of Soros: on the one hand, a cruel businessman, destroying or buying out competitors, aiming at a virtual monopoly; on the other, the great philanthropist…”
Why would Alexander Soros exalt a man who describes his father in such ways?
When he was asked about his vision for the Soros Network once he fully takes the helm, he said his agenda was "more political" than what his father did; an implied criticism that sounds like a watered-down and respectful version of Zizek’s criticism of his father.
The enormity of the threat posed by a Zizek-inspired Soros Network is impossible to overstate.
According to the Media Research Center, a progressive fundraising organization said Soros’ Open Society Foundations “may be the single most influential nonprofit organization in the world.”
The Chief Strategist for Morgan Stanley said he has “more influence in the world than anyone who has ever held high elective or appointive office.”
And a New York Times reporter quoted the President of the Carnegie Endowment as saying Soros is “the only man in the United States who has his own foreign policy and can implement it.”
In September, my investigation into the Soros Network discovered that over $80 million has flowed from Soros to pro-terrorism groups in the U.S. and around the world, including some involved in domestic terrorism right here on U.S. soil.
That’s the record of George Soros, the father. The son doesn’t want to change direction. He wants to go further and he will —unless we stop him.

Yikes!
Žižek’s a clown. He’s like the alt.right guys who say things just to shock and anger people. Does anyone on his own side actually take him seriously?
Mamdani and Soros apparently. And the other nut jobs who follow his ‘philosophy’.
I wager 1000 Quatloos that Mamdani, Alexander Soros and Žižek have a shared affinity for the taste of the male member.
ALL Democrats are EVIL!!!
I just watched the 2000 movie “Conspiracy” about the secret meeting in Germany headed by Reinhart Heydrich to decide “The final Solution”
Their real plan was to eradicate every Jew on the planet.
They decided every Jew in Europe was more realistic.
Heydrich was third in line to Hitler and was most likely going to be Chancellor if anything happened to Hitler.
This guy made Hitler look like a choir boy.
Watch the 2000 version of “Conspiracy” and ask yourself if Heydrich was a clown looking for attention.
These people are dangerous.
How do you stop this commie muslim invasion? go to the source on the funding

The far left’s disgraceful response to September 11—it has temporized about terror, embraced moral equivalence between the Islamist fanatics who killed thousands of innocent Americans and the military actions of the democratically elected U.S. government, and even blamed the U.S. for the atrocity—shows that its hatred of democratic capitalism and, more broadly, Western civilization itself remains fierce more than a decade after the collapse of socialism. The intensity of this hatred will come as no surprise, however, to anyone who has paid attention to the praise that the academic left and its sympathizers in the liberal media have been showering on one of the most pernicious books published in recent memory: Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri’s encomium to anticapitalist revolutionary violence, Empire.
This forbidding five–hundred–page book of political and social theory, which ends with a surreal celebration of “the irrepressible lightness and joy of being Communist,” is that rare commodity: a genuine academic bestseller. Its publisher, Harvard University Press, has gone through ten printings and has sold foreign translation rights to at least ten nations across the globe. Upscale bookstores have a hard time keeping it in stock. Everybody is talking about it.…
“New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Alexander Soros—George Soros’s son and heir—have in common? A shared ideological inspiration: Slavoj Žižek”
All I see is an unfounded claim.
Have I missed something?
If so, what?
I found this while searching:

Note the date.
Zizek is Slovenian. He’s 77 so was born and grew up in Communist Yugoslavia.

“if ‘communism’ means the system which deservedly collapsed in 1990—and remember that the communists who are still in power today run the most ruthless capitalism (in China).”
In 2016, Žižek criticized the political left’s unwillingness to criticize Cuba out of a perceived loyalty to Fidel Castro, arguing that the U.S. embargo against Cuba could not alone be blamed for its economic crisis. He also defended Cuban immigrants to the U.S., writing, “what right does a typical middle-class Western Leftist...have to despise a Cuban who decided to leave Cuba not only because of political disenchantment but also because of poverty?” However, he also sympathized with the Cuban Revolution and hoped that a “reasonable compromise” between democratization and the maintaining of socialism would be reached.

“The communism of the 20th century, more specifically all the network of phenomena we refer to as Stalinism are [sic] maybe the worst ideological, political, ethical, social (and so on) catastrophe in the history of humanity.”
