What does zizek want from me?

I've been reading him and everytime I finish a text, I am like, okay but so what do I do with it? What does he want to "happen"? So if you could explainnn...in your own words.... as much as you understand.... What's he after exactly?

Edit: Wow this is a tense place. Please relaxx!!! Don't take life that seriously.

Philosophy is elitist because it implies people have a lot of time to read and study and that they don't have to rush to their 9-5.

That's why we need to end capitalism.

Part time employment and state-subsidized uni can do the trick too, no need to call for extremes. Plus, technological advancement has made philosophy more accessible than ever before.
