modern ideas that only seem anticapitalist, by slavoj zizek:
Stalinism
Western Buddhism
Antiglobalization
Radical human-rights liberalism
Positivist psychology
Ecological food

zizek has been really opening up my head for the last, oh, 24 hours or so. the above is from an article in The Believer. it's called Google. use it.
also interesting is zizek in The London Review of Books, particularly this great article on "liberal communists" (so-called).
i read a piece of his on Childen of Men (wonderful film, most "now" film I've seen since Blade Runner, except a lot more "now" of course; continuing the William Gibson-directed trend [also seen in China Mieville -- note to self read one of his books!] of science fiction simply becoming, the only real, contemporary fiction), and saw him talking about it on YouTube, I highly recommend both but forgot to bookmark the links so you'll have to find them yourselves.
zizek is probably the Philosopher of the NOW.
