Slavoj Žižek's universalism and realism provide an epistemological possibility for creating a revolutionary political stance and a radically new horizon of thought. Paradoxically, Žižek's own political vision of Europe is anything but revolutionary. The political rendition of his formal universalism represents reification of an internationalism of a postcolonial subject - that of ‘Leftist Eurocentrism’, a project he advocates. It seems that the leftism attached to the hegemonic ‘Eurocentric’ Subject is intended to redeem it from hegemony and absolve it from the exclusive stance any centrism entails.
