zizek doesn't deny being a capitalist. again, i'm with chomsky - i find he just spews incoherent garbage, largely. but, the thing is that i realize he does it solely for profit.
so, there was the peterson-zizek debate, for example. and, i mean, who has time to listen to a debate between two different types of psycho-analysts in the 21st century? if the debate is freud v. derrida, my answer is "neither, they're both bullshit". but, if the debate is capitalism v communism, you're not getting it, in context - zizek is just taking your money and laughing at you, as he sells you a bunch of pseudo-science that nobody actually takes remotely seriously.
and, my perception of peterson is that he's so poorly regarded that he's not even worth reading - and i haven't read a word he's ever written. i don't have time for pseudo-scientific jungian psychobabble in the 21st century.
