"A return to Marx may be acceptable today ... But a repetition of Lenin? ... Perhaps Zizek's return to Lenin is merely tactical, figurative even. He can't be serious, can he? ... Zizek claims that Lenin's act, 'his choice', continues to speak to thos of us on the left today. Faced with our current conceptual deadlock, we must have the courage, the nerve to risk isolation, self-annihilation even, in order to offer a real alternative to the false oppositions recuperated by and churned out for our consumption by the image industry of late capitalism ... The postmodernists and liberal multiculturists, today's Bernateins and Kautskys-our contemporary Plekhanovs and Martovs, beware!"- Bad Subjects "Zizek's prose style has a rebellious and highly compelling side that brushes up against the most critical intellectual trends of our day like cultural studies, contemporary feminism, postcolonialism, and postmodernism."- Ha'aretz
