What are your opinions on some of the stuff he says in there? I found the book to be very interesting, especially when he discusses modern, European liberalism.

What are the main arguments? How similar are they to his arguments in "In Defense of Lost Causes" and his intro the the Robespierre book?

I've just recently started delving into Zizek (about halfway through The Sublime Object of Ideology and have listened to a lecture of his) and I'm impressed with him.
Would you recommend this "Violence" be next on my list?

I really would. Some of the stuff I found a bit dense, but it's pretty light, funny, and raises some important viewpoints on things we leftists usually use as arguments.

I'll definitely pick it up later this week.
