At risk of sounding like an armchair analyst, that smoke at the beginning on what seems to the planes course before trouble, looks sus. Maybe SAM went flyswatting.

If capitalism inevitably becomes imperialism, then wouldn't the evolution of communism into something akin to Soviet Russia also be inevitable? Both are extreme worst case scenarios of a decent idea

What are you trying to say here? I think I know what you're trying to say but it's weird that you're narrowing in on the Russian Soviet Republic.

There was some YouTube issue that messed up his catalog and he set them to private. He said that he has to submit a ticket for each video individually to fix whatever the issue was so they're basically gone.

Source: his patreon discord, this is asked almost daily.

Hope you can find an archive!

Oh boy! I wonder if the New York Times will do an expose on media and organizations funded by the CIA, US State department and billionaire capitalists who push a narrative that "communism bad, 'murican freedom is real freedom"! Funny how there's always two sides to a story but NYT didn't admit their pro-US slant in their article.

On a fun note, JT from the Second Thought Youtube channel has a great video that touches on the iceberg of Why Is There So Much Right-Wing Media?. It's almost like capitalists buy up media using the wealth they steal from worker and try to promote their interests through said media outlets!

Do the names of the people you know rhyme with show me snark?

I just watched a great video breaking down Black Panther today from F.D. Signifier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQEWa5R3m4U

Bonus points if a ruling majority party has less than 50% of the populations votes and voter participation is super low so you effectively get 30% (if you're lucky) of the population making decisions for the rest.

I hate liberal democracy. Long live democratic centralism!

This is a really well sourced, theory based explanation. Cheers for sharing the material, it's always good to have theory backing up why we hold the ideas.

This is a great example of how this community can be really educationally helpful.

I haven't come across users like this before, it could be a combination of all of the factors you listed at the bottom. I would be more inclined to believe these users are people who are possibly new to a movement and don't fully understand what they're taking part in.

I can only really speak to the general communism umbrella but lack of theory leads to weird contradictions like the one's you have pointed out.
