The Zizek response is absurd. He criticises Zizek for not giving any alternatives to (cultural) capitalism, and yet he clearly has never been in the same room as a Zizek book. How can you expect to know everything that there is to a writer's thought by watching a ten minute video. Reading a chapter of HPMoR doesn't entitle me to sweeping opinions on Eliezer's philosophy.
Edit: Please explain how the Zizek video is "bad/incorrect/flawed/misleanding/incomplete".
People might prefer this pair:
Peter Buffett and Zizek on why philanthropists do more harm than good and Will MacAskill's response on Qz.com
... Did that guy really just write that article without any concrete claim of harm due to capitalism? He seemed to make an oblique reference to outsourcing and implied that he thought that financial speculation leads to some form of poverty.
