Žižek›s theory of the subject is a step back from Heidegger with regard to Europeanness (i.e., colonialism), but it is still an important corrective. In all his love for the homeland, the emphasis on community and sensitivity towards language, Heidegger neglects some of the political aspects of Dasein. Likewise, he misses the artificiality of his own account of the origin and its essence.
