I know what you mean, but this specific example isn't TOO bad (especially if you just straight-up ignore the stuff about Unger, which I'm pretty sure is only in there because some superfan of Unger put it in there).

Essentially, what it's about is that Zizek is someone who acts like he still basically believes in revolutionary Marxism in a fairly classic sense. So the first part is about people (specifically Unger) accusing him of being trapped in an old-fashioned communism vs capitalism mindset, and the second part of it is people accusing him of failing to define what he's actually arguing, especially what his relation to classical Marxism is, and of using old-fashioned Marxist concepts that are no longer relevant in combination with a bunch of other systems of thought in ways that don't really fit together.

I mean, it's kind of true, in a way. The thing about Zizek is that he's almost a performance artist at times in addition to being a leftist thinker. He's really pretty ridiculous.
