Oh absolutely, but you can substitute pretty much anyone in there and the overarching point is still valid

Zizek doesn't say crap like this, he is very much against state capitalism

mems without a clue and pseudo rebels without a cause

Zizek is very much against any revolution that doesn't happen entirely in the abstract. He's a funny polemicist but the few times he doesn't write three pages of nonsensical, circular, stream of consciousness references to Heidegger, Lacan or Jung, he's shilling the most neoliberal viewpoints you can imagine.

Neoliberal in what way? Give me an example.

If you mean neoliberal as being anti-state ... then you are intentionally misinterpreting what he says so your rhetoric feels secure.

Davel linked an article by Rockhill that goes into detail. But if you'd read "Against the Double Blackmail" you'd think calling his views neoliberal is a very charitable take considering he spent most of the book being horribly racist and chauvinistic whenever he wasn't horribly incoherent.

Which is to be expected of anyone proudly calling himself an eurocentrist. Just because somebody goes and says they're a Marxist or a historical materialist or whatever doesn't make it so, you have to look at their praxis. There's been "Marxist" opportunists for as long as there's been Marxism.
