Great review. From your description, however, it sounds like Zizek has regurgitated a lot of what anarchists have said and written about. I'm an ego anarchist, and in your words, I can see Bakunin, Kropotkin, Godwin, Spooner, and Goldman to name a few. The latter even advocated for the "propaganda of the dead" until she visited Russia in the immediate aftermath of the Bolshevik Revolution. Also, I'd like to point out that Lenin was truly a coward and for that matter Stalin as well. Leon Trotsky was the one who kept the flame alive during the time when Lenin fled and Stalin sat quietly in solitary confinement. It's more accurate to say that Zizek is a Trotskyist than a Leninist. After all, it was Trotsky who championed perpetual revolution... 😊
