...Or rather, let me rephrase that. It's not really odd, per se. Zizek is unthreatening to the establishment because he and Schama are fundamentally in agreement about their considerably warped vision of Robespierre. In a sense, it doesn't matter whether they're defending this vision or attacking it, because it's nothing but a mirage: the same superimposition of 20th century ideas onto an 18th century personage.
