The downvote count is counting votes for genocide

You’re trying to get as many people introduced to Marxist ideas as possible. And whilst you will get some people to explore further down and eventually some will become Marxists, others will reject it or stay aligned on only certain issues. That’s just how it is.

This kind of applies to every level of radicalization to be honest, bar like once someone grasps the historical materialist/scientific interpretation of history. But that is much further down the pipeline than someone like Hasan is.

So for example he will have some viewers who become Marxists after hearing the deprogram podcast and then checking out Hakim, and then falling even further down (Hasan has been on the deprogram), whilst some viewers might stay and watch Hasan only for info about Palestine, or some may stay social democrats.

If making memes is what you like to do, ideally you read some theory to help make memes that better convey ML ideas. Only reading theory is not enough by itself.

Also I kinda will walk back, or maybe clarify, a little of what I said, specifically about Hasan “occupying an important niche”. Whilst he occupies that niche, that’s not to say that he’s the only person in that niche nor that there’s only room for one person in there. Also not saying that someone else cant come along and do better.

But the real world results matter and I know there are a lot of people here who might not be here without Hasan, myself included. And remember not everyone is going to become a Marxist when you’re that high up on the pipeline.

I go back and forth on Hasan. But in general I think he occupies an important part of the pipeline that isn’t an actual dead end ala destiny/vaush. And whilst he has criticised China, the last time I heard him do that it was honestly rather feeble or felt like stock criticism (“they could loosen up censorship”). Then he’s got gigachad Xi/China emojis that you’ll see in his chat all the time. This is obviously the beginning of normalizing China for many watchers, not unlike the memes that many of us saw on GenZedong before reddit shut it down (although GZ was way more radical).

This, with his connections to the deprogram, who directly interface with non-MLM Marxist theory, is a pipeline. From there you’re a hop away from Professor Wolf, who isn’t far from Geopolitical Economy Report/Hudson/Prashad etc. I’d like to see a bit more direct interface between creators at the level of the deprogram etc make an effort to lead to Wolf/GER a bit more but I’m so out of the loop with “breadtube” maybe that’s already happening.

Hasan (and the deprogram, but especially Hasan as a giant “influencer” ) does have to work within a capitalist framework which makes him petty bgz but it feels wrong to group him with the rest.

There absolutely can be a contradiction between his material interest of keeping his followers vs keeping the valve to the pipeline open. Maybe he could make more an effort to lead his followers to unknowingly allow themselves to fall further down the pipeline, but again Ive moved beyond that area of the pipeline (as you’re supposed to) and haven’t made an effort to monitor it so I can’t offer much more than just giving an outline of how this works and what problems can arise.

The classic model of petty bourgeoisie being the progenitor of fascism works well in America.

Petty bourgeoisie make up a large portion of the Republican base. Petty bgz themselves are the direct inheritors of the settler ideology and elevated position in society (thus it also includes many poor whites already “demoted” in social status). They feel the contradictions intensify from both sides, workers asking for more, and big bgz taking over. This puts them in a precarious position of becoming workers, so the petty bgz naturally act according to their (privileged) interests and become very reactionary.

An analysis of Trump’s attempted coup on Jan 6th reveals the petty bourgeois make up of his supporters. He is a useful tool of the big bourgeoisie to resolve this contradiction.

So I think before attempting to analyze big bourgeois intraclass conflict, it’s very important to consider the basic big bgz-petty bgz situation.

Boohoo China has a 90% home ownership rate. Their system is literally working properly because you failed at becoming a landlord and have to get a real job.

“My favorite faction is [insert obviously fascist faction]”

Yep. On the Internet it’s insufferable arrogance in my experience as a degree holding biology stemlord. They do not have the same investigative/scientific mindset when it comes to history so when they step outside their fields they come up with lazy analysis and no historical materialism.

In other words it’s the same lazybones liberal attitude towards history but coupled with the arrogance of being told that science is the toughest area and for smart people.

They’ll drop Ukraine like a rock for the chance to kill more Muslims

Also they’re in stem or comp science/programming I’m gonna take a wild guess

-you said proletarians owning things and existing under feudalism

One of my wishes would be that you understand historical materialism so you don’t embarrass yourself so badly again

I’m not into cryptid stuff but I understand the sentiment with American woods. Lord knows how many dangerous people are just wandering around wilderness areas looking for random solo victims, given the USAs serial killer/mass murder numbers and how easy it is to get a gun. And it would impossible to ever find a killer like that.

This ruined a few liberals days for sure 😂

just like how reddit programmed them to as a good little lib.

Whataboutism doesn’t work here when we are just comparing facts. You’re just not that smart sorry lol

America has killed millions, funded terrorism around the world, overturned governments and replaced them with fascists to open countries up to exploitation resulting in the absolute most horrible conditions imaginable.

Meanwhile all you know about these other countries is what America’s ruling class feeds you- that they are evil, backwards nations incapable of governing themselves.

Unfortunately this is also racist - you probably didn’t want to hear that but hey you’re the one who thinks these things. It’s also pretty racist that America itself was founded on the genocide of millions of real Americans (Natives). It’s not looking good for you.

Anyway, this is all sort of long and history may be sort of boring to you. But the conclusion to all of this is that you just aren’t very smart.

Cheers lol.

Defeat liberalism with more liberalism

Streamers are useless people who contribute nothing.

You are the peasant though 😂
