Peterson v. Žižek – A Non-Confrontation on Marxism and Postmodernism
I wanted to refer the Rabbi to a short excerpt from the highly publicized debate between Jordan Peterson (I saw that the Rabbi was referred to before) and Slavoj Žižek. In this excerpt, Žižek brings up the fact that Peterson often calls the extreme PC activists “neo-Marxist postmodernists,” and asks him where the Marxists are in this PC bunch?

The online realms where many Žižek admirers are outraged by this passage. They say Žižek has won the debate here. I think the issue at hand, whether or not there is a connection between Marxism and postmodernism, despite the obvious contradictions, is one of the Rabbi’s areas of interest. I would be interested to hear your thoughts.
Thank you very much,
Shai Landsman
