Communist Label Is Nostalgia Like Spreewald Pickles
Zizek's attachment to the Communist label is a form of nostalgia—like East German women loving their Spreewald pickles and Trabi cars, or Zizek's enjoyment of old Stalinist movies and Communist songs—an emotional attachment he doesn't actually believe is superior, which he should cast aside to live free.
