apparently some Avakianite (Raymond Lotta) annoyed Zizek enough that they're gonna have a debate next year. It's sure to be hilarious. Feel free to discuss the new synthesis and Lacanian-Marxist interpretations of the matrix and other pop culture itt.

Here's an example of Lotta criticizing Zizek:

there's nothing of interest in this, the only thing worth taking from it is Lotta is really mad and hearing someone ask Zizek why he is a bourgeois apologist for imperialism and anti-communist propaganda is gonna be funny.

zizek wrote a foreword for an avakian book just as he (zizek) became famous and i guess afterwards avakianites have been following him around the world demanding that he debate avakian and i guess this is what came of it

well, "economist", since he's a maoist, and therefore not a real economist

exactly, but they're impotent for the opposite reasons. it'll be like watching a bunch of hippies protesting an Adorno lecture for the 21st century.

When: Monday, April 15, 2013, 6-9 pm

Where: Columbia University, New York City—Altschul Auditorium, International Affairs Building, Rm 417 (enter at Amsterdam & 117th, below the overpass)

The core questions up for debate:

Was the first stage of communist revolution, the Russian and Chinese revolutions, overwhelmingly positive, with real shortcomings—or was it at best a mixed record, or even a failure and disaster?
Does Bob Avakian's new synthesis provide the framework for forging a vibrant socialist society in transition to communism—or not?
Is it presumptuous and preposterous at this stage to pose definitive answers and alternatives to the horrors of the world—or is this in fact what is needed, demanded, and possible at this hour?
Is the RCP strategy for revolution, ultimately aiming for the seizure of state power, what is needed today—or is this outmoded or impractical, requiring a different approach for social change?

My favorite Ray Liotta film is 1994's No Escape featuring Lance Henriksen and Ian McNeice. If you squint really hard I guess it's an allegory about communism.
