He's a hegelian philosopher, the child of an economist and an accountant. He is also heavily influenced by Jacques Lacan and was very critical ofthe communist regime in Jugoslvaia and of communism in general, so any arguement that he doesn't know what communism is just reveals the ignorance on the part of the critic (or that the critic is too lazy to look up who Zizek is).

Look up his debate with Jordan Peterson in 2019 to see the man in action, he is a far cry from how Gato presents him above.

Personally, I'm not a fan of his because I detest the teachings of Lacan and the other post-structuralists, but I'm also not a fan of using quote-mining to smear someone, as Gato does here.
