In the year 2050, in the dystopian ruins of what used to be Earth, who'll be the most famous socialist thinkers from the 2010s?
We have π¬π§π¬π§π¬π§Chomskyπ¬π§π¬π§π¬π§, Zizek, Unruhe, Chapo Trap House, the whole Kit and Kaboodal really. Who will go down as the most notable?
Contemporary Thinkers

I'm a thinker so advanced that not even the 2050 folks will recognize me.
Zizek is the only contemporary philosopher who will be remembered for a long time.
Paul Cockshott tbh.
But seriously, Chomsky (purely because his linguistics work is v important) and Zizek do have immense staying power, not sure whom else though: Maybe Varoufakis?
These people will only be "famous" like Kautsky or Trotsky are, as stupid pieces of shit.
Only Chomsky and Zizek will be remembered for anything, obviously. And even they will probably be almost-totally forgotten in a few decades. Remarkably stupid thread.
If we could meme him into significance that would be just excellent.
Cockshott I mean.
Iglesias, Petro, Mouffe, Malema, Sunkara, Zhiyuan, Sanders, Corbyn
Most of those aren't thinkers tho, they're politicians.
they think stuff so that's enough for me
not sure if bait
Rafiq
what malfunction was occurred in the development of your adolescent brain that made you think you were allowed to reject Zizek as βbaitβ? in a just world your parents would be dragged away and beaten publicly on the street for raising such a willfully ignorant, self-indulgent brat.
Me
Julius Malema, despite his issues and well-documented love for Gucci and expensive shoes
it's did not appear to be bait because zizek was included, it appeared to be bait because zizek was mentioned to the exclusion of every single other contemporary thinker
I shouldn't have stated it so boldly, it's just my (possibly uninformed) opinion. What other contemporary thinkers did you have in mind?
Jason Unruhe
This.
There are probably a lot of them that I haven't heard about.
also Bernard Stiegler.
Jim Profit
Comrade High Commander and Comrade Communicator
Antonio Negri, David Harvey to name to.
There are more, but I am not well read myself. Zizek might not even be in the top 5.
also go fuck yourself for being arrogant despite being a nobooksfag
Cockshott for sure.
That wasn't me who posted that.
Ocalan, because he actually inspired a revolution.
Bob Avakian and Jason Unruhe are the major thinkers of our time.
Zizek for his outstanding work on ideology and being the most authentic of all meme-men (he's propably recruited more from-ironic-to-not-so-ironic βTANKIEβs than every miserable faggot on this board put together).
Vivek Chibber is a trot, but he's good entry-level Red pill. Adolph Rees is also good.
I haven't read Cockshott, but from what I gather it's work like his that is most important right now, and so I hope he will be remembered.
Zizek is a literal Nazi pretending to be a Leftist
*Adolph Reed
Kim Jong Un, if he will succeed to understand western problems and adapt the formulation of Juche to fix them.
ah, sorry
Now that's a hot take if I've ever seen one.
Could you expand on this position?
Lol probably Bernie Sanders
Ja Rule
Unironically? Probably Trump, Obama, Pelosi, Xi, Putin, Zizek, Merkel, and Orban - in that order.
pic somewhat related
I'm half way through reading this it's interesting, always wondered why zizek was shilled so hard and I seem to have gotten my answer
bye bye zizek
What the fuck.
good article, but I not agree with everything. Honestly I started doubting zizek when I read his 300 review and when I read hs shilling for monarchy, the more I read stuff the more I dropped him (especially thanks to WSWS articles). This one really completes the picture. It's sad how a reactionary irrationalist tries to co opt communism, well hitler did that with "socialism", but it always baffles me the continous desperate co opting by reactionary forces to discredit the real left
Crawl back to tumblr you excrement
on second thought there isn't a whole lot here just endless kvetching about his use of racial epithets
Paste it, I cba with their GDPR shit.
