Yeah, this guy is brilliant and funny but he´s a die-hard capitalist who profits from people who hate capitalism. He´s more intelligent than his disarming demeanor and quirks belie. He loves to act the part of a commie pig who enjoys biting the hand that feeds it because that´s how he feeds himself.

I have to reiterate that he´s basically a total freaking comedic genius who should be enjoyed but not entirely trusted.''

I have to reiterate the he should be enjoyed.

Do watch it, yes.

None of your accusations are true - calling Zizek a die hard capitalist is not only wrong, it's just stupid. He's spent a career writing books, articles, giving interviews, teaching, and generally being one of the major global intellectuals rallying against capitalism. He asks many questions, the most important being: If it's capitalism is such a great economic system, why are we not allowed to critique it?

The Mockingbird Foundation

The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.

And since we’re entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we’ve distributed over $1,000,000 to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
