Abstract: A few decades ago a new kind of leftist thinker has emerged —one who clothes his revolutionary zeal in a layer of irony, half-dismissing his own impractical idealism as though speaking through the face paint of a clown. Under this framework, this article analyzes and evaluates the phenomenon of pop-psychoanalytic Stalinism by Slavoj Žižek.
