Get in here and do an' 101 of Zizek, slaves!
Let's start with his "movies". Watch them movies here:

2. Pervert's guide to ideology: sockshare.net
3. The Reality of the Virtual: youtube.com
prz offer newfags more accessisble sources
feel free to share pdfs (preferably with explanations) and lectures, etc. here
Read Violence. It's the best of his accessible books (cause you also got autistic Lacanian shit) and the most "original" cause the others rehash a lot of it.
I'd almost go as far as saying it's the only book by him you should read.
also china isnt socialist
...
Ok I have a question. What is zizek, besides being a postmodernist marxist. Does he identify with any tendency? also what did he mean when he said leftist fascists should ally with rightist fascist against the neolibs
Hegel
He's, definitively, not.
We had a thread about that from forever ago, but it was a bunch of dogmatist hand-wringing over the title, with little substance to it beyond that.
Zizek is shit. If you read him before reading Marx, Engels, and Lenin, you are an absolute idiot.
lacan.com has plenty of essays for you to read when you aren't watching lecture vids on YouTube. I usually just Google something like "zizek sinthome" and a Zizek essay or video related to that Lacanian term will appear near the top of the results.
What I want is a proper video/reader intro to Badiou. I've read a few of his essays and what lectures have been uploaded online are held back by one of the thickest French accents that I've heard. I've read a few of his essays but I still feel like I'm missing the big picture and especially so with regards to how his Lacanianism has pushed him toward Maoism.
Oh I thought he was pomo. Is he a modernist marxist then?
