Zusammenfassung: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. Desde hace unas décadas ha surgido un nuevo tipo de pensador izquierdista: uno que viste su celo revolucionario en una capa de ironía, medio despreciando su propio idealismo impráctico, como si hablara a través de la pintura facial de un payaso. Bajo este marco, en este artículo se analiza y evalúa el fenómeno del estalinismo pop-psicoanalítico de Slavoj Žižek.
