The panelists were not conservatives complaining about left-wing violence on college campuses or the left’s long-standing habit of making excuses for practitioners of political violence, from Joseph Stalin to Pol Pot. Rather, the panelists were two leftists, French literary scholar Bernard-Henri Lévy and Slovenian Marxist philosopher Slavoj Žižek. It was a slightly more innocent time (strange to write!), but Žižek is relatively outspoken about the legitimacy of political violence against the right kind of people, i.e. I was…
