Some years ago (2016), Žižek claimed that Trump was a centrist liberal, but used racism and sexism to cover it:
“Trump is a paradox: he is really a centrist liberal, and maybe even in his economic policies closer to the Democrats, and he desperately tries to mask this. So the function of all of these dirty jokes and stupidities is to cover up that he is really a pretty ordinary, centrist politician”.

But what if Žižek was receiving his own inverted message as Lacan said? What if Žižek’s declared communism and Leninism is but a mask to cover the fact that HE is the liberal one?
