The alt-right are loser to socialists than most other ideologies anyway. Like if you listen to Spencer when he gets off the topic of race he sounds more like Bernie Sanders than anyone on the right....
Well I conflate the two because whenever I am assured they are different I ask where these other alt-right are. And am universally directed to ethnats.....
It's like I admit the possibility that there are somewhere in the world gamergaters who really want all women out of video games. I just have never seen one....
@Jym A point Zizek made, is that from his perspective 'cultural Marxism' and political correctness are a byproduct of a materialistic society, and the free market itself.
My take has a sort of background count. firstly that I have spent a lot of time arguing with Socialists so I'm fairly familiar with their rhetorical tricks. and secondly I would consider Zizek a Fabian not a Marxist. Fabians are sort of frog-in-the-pot socialists. They recognize that arguing directly for socialism won't work so they argue unrelated problem than offer socialist programs as the solution to them.
This particular spin is familiar. Very often socialists blame all sorts of ills on capitalism because money changed hands at some point in the chain of events. Like calling Leopold in the Congo "capitalist" because he used money. Nevermind he was a King under a feudal system. Never mind that money changing hands took part in nearly every human interaction in recorded history.
I listened to it at work the other day. Technology is lovely I can throw my pone on the charger, turn on the bluetooth, and listen to lectures and roundtables all day at work.
OK but listen critically with my theory that he is a Fabian. Like the bit where he brings up ecology. Notice the the utility he sees in environmentalism is that it justifies a sort of central planning. Not that I think he is correct even about that. But isn't it interesting that he had nothing else of substance to say about ecology other than it could be used to justify socialist programing?
Again this may be a perspective issue. But I am more or less in agreement with Hayek here that they are all akin. He used to refer to the soviets and nazis as "The Russian socialists and the German socialists"
In general to collectivize the product of a nation, people, or culture. There are of course variations on the theme but they are common to both German and Russian socialism.
