Check out this article by Slavoj Zizek:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/jan/25/european-union-slovenia
Keep in mind what I said in my first post: radicalism is a form of thought. Zizek is a radical; his work embodies that form. But what is the content of this form, for Zizek? In the comments after the article, this question is raised in not so many words. Some complain that Zizek is not clear on the kind of emancipatory ideal that Europe can come together around. Others complain that Zizek is a closet Christian. Maybe both are true to some extent, besides the possibility of some other (liberal?) content filling out his radicalism. In any case, Zizek's work is invaluable for all radicals, including Christian ones. Therefore we will see many more references to his articles and other work in the future on this site.
