00:00:02.959 --> 00:00:04.240
Cappy, how are you?
00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:05.440
Good, good, good.
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:06.160
Hanging in there.
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:07.599
Glad it's Friday.
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:12.000
Yes, it's Friday, and I'm sure you have a lot of plans around the house with the old lady.
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:13.199
Are you fixing it up?
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:14.400
Are you spreading mulch?
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:19.039
I've seen I've seen little little glimpses of your house, your lovely little domicile.
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:20.079
Yeah, thank you.
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.719
Um looks very looks very cozy.
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:26.000
Very it almost looks like it's a woman-run household almost.
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:26.800
Oh, does it?
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:27.120
Yeah.
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.359
The little implementations in your yard.
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:30.640
I saw a little gnome.
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:34.399
There was like some kind of cutesy, cutesy shit in your front yard.
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.200
It seems like a charming grandma lives there or something.
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:38.799
Yeah, it it does, right?
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.000
Um, I think it looks nice.
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:42.560
Yeah.
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:44.560
Kind of uh cozy it up, you know.
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:45.759
Uh I I like it.
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:54.320
Uh like it uh taking taking pride in ownership and esteem for that hard won property you've got through your capitalistic good doings.
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:55.359
Oh yeah, yeah.
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:58.399
Yeah, I'm uh a big capitalist over here, you know.
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.799
Uh uh Well, uh now hypothetically you have the potentiality to do that.
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:08.000
Now, in fact, you could be a landlord and petite bourgeois all in one if you just rented out a room in that place, right?
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:09.280
Oh, sure, yeah.
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.519
Oh my god, the potential to do mayhem, and yet you restrain yourself.
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:14.400
Yeah, no.
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:19.760
I mean, I had a roommate, uh, you know, Joe's mustache, who's in our Discord server, was my roommate for a while.
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.120
We just split it down that down ha, you know, in half, the bills.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:27.680
And it was uh it he's a great roommate, like the best roommate ever.
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.239
Um, you know, it's he's not all up all over you.
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:40.159
You know, we we we did our own things, but we've been friends for years, so of course we we hung out, but he's you know quiet, clean, and uh yeah, it was it was it was a good time.
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.920
I'm hearing a little bit of a slight to Chairman Smokey.
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:50.560
Wouldn't Chairman Smokey, your cat, be considered the best roommate?
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:57.599
Yeah, I mean he's definitely uh when he's not you know throwing cat litter around the house and knocking stuff off tables, he's a great roommate.
00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:59.120
He doesn't clean up after himself.
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.159
I have to wipe his butt and and I gotta feed him.
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:06.480
Uh between you and me, you've speaking you've spoken of similar issues with Joe's mustache.
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.639
The kitty litter with the butt wiping.
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:09.919
Yeah, I have to wipe his butt.
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.520
Yeah, I'll be sure to show him this.
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:12.719
Yeah, okay.
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.080
Well, uh Yeah, no, I I'm not doing shit this weekend.
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:21.439
I'm gonna go to a party on Saturday and then Sunday I'll be busy with my girlfriend's family, so that'll be the weekend.
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:22.000
Very good.
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.919
Well, that's shit, but I'm not doing any shit I don't want to do, like fucking housework.
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:27.360
Yeah, good shit.
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:28.240
Yeah.
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:29.280
Yeah.
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.000
Uh okay, so uh, and also I want to give a shout out to some of our patrons.
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:34.800
Who do we have here?
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.199
We got a couple, I believe it's Fungles.
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:43.680
Uh, shout out to Fungles and also shout out to Wumbo, my favorite Gonzalo White, uh Shining Path, a strict adherent.
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:52.639
Uh, shout out to Wumbo uh and Fugitive, who both went from free members of the podcast to paid members of the podcast, which we love to see.
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:54.159
Yeah, we appreciate it, guys.
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:55.280
Thank you so much.
00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:19.599

They are uh available on demand from past streams that we have done.
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.280
We do them every Tuesday and Thursday.
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:43.360
If you feel like if you have fear of missing out, or you feel like life and culture and the the uh the communist movement as it stands here in America has passed you by, well, you can retroactively participate by watching some of the VODs, joining up, becoming a paid member, getting access to all those, and watching us live on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m.
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:44.879
Eastern Standard Time.
00:03:45.120 --> 00:04:04.560
But right now, Cappy, we've kicked the LeftCon episode down the low uh down the road even further so you can have more intro, um, more um laser-like analysis of each of these uh left, pervert, deviant, uh, left comm variations of uh left communism.
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.560
Uh emphasis on the deviant and pervert, uh, for sure.
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:18.639
Um but um we've kicked that one down the road a little bit so Cappy Burra can give his esteemed sage-like analysis of some of these degenerates.
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:24.399
Um and uh uh today we're going to flip it, and we've never done this.
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:25.839
This is a first of a kind.
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.560
This is online leftists, online leftists, but make it good.
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:31.040
Yeah.
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:32.560
These are good takes.
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:34.879
We didn't feel like getting angry tonight.
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.879
So I always feel like getting angry.
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:37.920
Don't lie to the people.
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:50.319
You know that getting angry was on the table, and I've and I reserve my rights to arbitrarily get angry, hypot uh like uh uh uh intellectualizing at who might get angry at a take like this.
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:57.439
I reserve my right to have angry, angry, angst-written commentary about people who I speculate might get upset about these takes.
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:58.560
You could still get angry.
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:07.040
I mean, I I I I curtailed these videos uh specifically for our leftcom listeners who have a a newfound obsession with us.
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:08.800
Uh so hopefully they're listening.
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:09.839
Yeah, they really are.
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:15.759
We make one episode about a single leftcom, and they fucking are still shitting themselves months later.
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:17.199
And it's so funny.
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:26.800
After the Flash in the Pan implosion, where all of them made themselves known and present and showed up in my live stream, we had TJ show up and uh post.
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.199
Have we had an opportunity to talk about this?
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:30.639
Uh not on the podcast, huh?
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:37.600
TJ showed up himself in my stream, who's a particularly young, impotent, weird, friendless, fucking left com.
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:50.720
He's one of those people, perennial panel attendees of the no view leftcom lives, where they're just sort of having doctrinaire loser commentary from historical losers of the past communist movements.
00:05:51.199 --> 00:06:09.519
And uh he made himself present in my chat room and then demanded evidence that the Libyan intervention uh would the the quote-unquote Libyan mass protest was in fact CIA intervention, of which point I went to the Discord and people gave me endless articles to sh to throw at him.
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:16.480
And then he I will say he did an immediate mea culpa and published a story and says, Okay, I don't know how good of evidence this is.
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.600
It was literally a New York Times article bragging about it.
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:20.879
Bragging about CIA.
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:25.839
Yeah, like literally the New York Times bragging on behalf of the CIA about their intervention and how well it went.
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.519
It's like, I don't like first of all, they lie us into wars, they don't lie us out of them.
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:30.800
Like you're like, what do you like?
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:31.279
What do you mean?
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:32.639
It's all media though.
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.040
It's not Western media recognizes it.
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:40.000
I mean, everything PBS, New York Times, Huffington Post, it all all it's well known.
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:43.519
It's well known in the West, it's well known in the global south, it's well known around the world.
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.000
We know what to everybody but Lefcoms who are teenagers.
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:47.040
Apparently, yeah.
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:47.600
Yeah.
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:53.839
So what I thought was very interesting about that is in the clip that he made a stream highlight of me.
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.319
And in that highlight, I was like, look, guys, this is why you have to be charitable to these people.
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.680
They're teenagers, they weren't alive then, and they just don't know any better.
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:06.879
And then immediately he posted it like as if it was some kind of slanders, like, oh, I really made a fool of myself.
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:11.839
It's like, I think the opposite just happened, but you don't have the requisite IQ to recognize what you just did.
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:22.480
You're you're like it like you imploded the credibility to whoever many people in your fan base saw that and then clicked the next story, which is you responding to an article stating exactly my premise.
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.240
Like, yeah, dog, this is universally understood to be a CIA intervention.
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:27.519
CIA bragged about it, dog.
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:28.160
Absolutely.
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.759
Like it like we didn't have to wait 20 years a for a foyer request for that one.
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.759
They went to the media and bragged, like, like, which is kind of rare.
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:44.160
So that was the fallout from the last thing, and it also led to other various uh communizers of less clout that aren't even worth mentioning.
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:52.480
A lot of them have been taking the exception and whining and coping and using my image as a background on their lives, but honestly, you're not even high profile enough to talk about dog.
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:58.399
Nobody you're like, honestly, like I'm not convinced that a lot of these people are even above 18.
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.600
It may be legally actionable to even bring them up.
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:02.399
So I don't know.
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:12.720
There's a lot of weird uh teenage left comms lying about their age online, and I don't think that their parents know what they're doing with those devices that their mom and dad pay for.
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:26.399
I'm not sure what they're doing online, but uh they're definitely trying to throw their weight around and do everything but actually educate themselves on the successes of Marxism-Leninism, which is what we are champions of, uh Cappy.
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.839
We we we we celebrate AES.
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:34.559
And I've been doing it so uh I also my uh TikTok got banned, Globoid TV.
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.679
So I've been uh streaming on Globoid Lover911.
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.360
You all can check me out there, and also I have an alt account, Comrade Moyd.
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:56.399
You guys can check me out there, and we also urge everybody listening to this to follow us over at uh Patreon not patreon.com, TikTok.com slash at online leftists, so we can start doing pre-Patreon streams on there.
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.440
Yeah, so um I guess we'll get to this now.
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:00.960
Uh this should be fun.
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:04.399
Okay, so onto this, we have the good takes.
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:10.320
We have the uh these are online leftists, but this time make it good, the non-lull cows.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:12.960
Yeah, um the non-lull cows.
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:13.840
Yes, okay.
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:17.600
So number one, we have uh this is Mandelin, uh Madeline.
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:19.279
I'm assuming this is Madeline Pendleton.
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:20.480
Absolutely, yes.
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:21.600
One of the best.
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:28.000
The communizer destroyer, the the true Marxist Leninist and not a sub-three communizer.
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:29.360
Yeah, absolutely.
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:31.200
Okay, let's click on this here.
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:32.159
What do we got here?
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.799
North Korea is currently in a massive era for development.
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.360
People are referring to their main capital city, Pyongyang, as Pyongyanghattan.
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.240
And they just beat their goal of building 50,000 new apartments in the city limits.
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:51.120
Now, housing in North Korea is a human right, which means all of these apartments are absolutely free.
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:53.440
They're in newly developed buildings like this.
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:56.960
And this is the only area of North Korea that's seen rapid development recently.
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:06.720
All of Pyongyang has been expanding, and they have also done expansion projects in other large cities throughout the country, as well as rural development near farmland.
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:11.919
Over 80% of North Korea is rugged mountainous terrain, and they have very limited amounts of farmland available.
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:15.600
It seems to not be a problem until the United States illegally divided Korea in half.
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.840
Cutting the north off from the south, where more food was grown in the 1990s.
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:23.840
The small amount of farmland they had left was actually wiped out in a natural disaster.
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:26.320
And it led to thousands of people starving to death.
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:34.639
North Korea is not able to easily trade to import things like food because of the massive blockade levied against them by the United States and the United Nations.
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:41.200
So part of their rural development has been building massive amounts of greenhouses to grow food in new and creative ways.
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.440
They've also developed new tourist zones.
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:50.879
When COVID lockdowns happened, they cut off all international travel and they are now starting to open their borders again so that international tourists can arrive.
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:59.919
In addition to areas designed for international tourists, they've developed more leisure infrastructure for their local residents as well, including many mountainous kind of resorts.
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:15.679
A lot of the development has been centered around their new Huasong district, which in addition to including new housing, also includes new recreational amenities like video game arcades, restaurants, and bars, with many places staying open past midnight, previously something not very common in the region.
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.879
They've also been working on revamping their metro system.
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:30.320
With how much disinformation and misinformation spreads about North Korea on the internet, I'm really interested to see what the public response is going to be to realizing that North Korea is not the place they thought it was.
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:39.919
It's a developing modern country, improving life within its borders way better than I've personally seen happen in any city in the United States I've lived in in the past 20 years.
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:57.840
Well, I can tell you how they're going to respond, Cappy, because I got hundreds of responses today with my prompt I did on my live, which is DPRK better than Israel, which brought out the Zionists and the 1990s era anti-DPRK uh Cold War commentary.
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:06.559
It brought all it brought all that out, and they're gonna just call it a degenerate worker state, red, fashion, authoritarian, that they have no freedom, no internet, no whatever.
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:11.200
And when I said no, they're like they're having an economic boon right now.
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:11.600
Yeah.
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:28.320
And after after necessarily out externally imposed austerity in the form of uh little to no trade and no arable farmland, after you know decades of belt tightening, good socialistic policy has led them into a little bit of a renaissance, and people just scoffed.
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:44.080
I said, literally look it up, Google DPRK progress, DPRK development, and you will find contemporaneous articles in the last week where even liberals are doing, like me, a couple, like, well, how did they uh get so successful so quick?
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:48.559
And people literally were like, You're being disingenuous by telling me what keywords to search.
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.240
I'm like, then just search North Korea.
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:53.039
Like, brother, I'm just telling you to go look.
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:54.639
I'm telling you to go look.
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:56.639
Like, even liberals are saying they're doing well.
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:57.519
Like, holy shit.
00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:58.080
That's true.
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:08.879
Even um the anti-DPRK uh think tank uh 38 North, which their whole thing is spreading DP uh DPRK propaganda propaganda against the DPRK.
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:16.399
I'm pretty sure they have some connections with uh you know certain intelligence agencies and what even they have articles talking about the 20 by 10 initiative.
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:22.080
I mean North Korea is going through a rapid development process right now, and it's it's awesome.
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.879
Like that you can see the results of the last couple of years of economic development.
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:28.720
So it's it's quite it's undeniable.
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:39.679
Yeah, we'll we will have these seven TikToks linked, but you really have to see it for yourself because it was like staggering how modern and how uh technologically advanced uh Pyongyang is.
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:48.159
Like uh it it's sort of it sort of defies completely the the 90s era uh DPRK that I grew up learning about.
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:51.440
I mean it was in dire straits when I was a a young man.
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:54.639
Like you all all you heard was like stories of like devastation.
00:13:54.799 --> 00:14:01.759
Of course, it was credited with crazy, autocratic, uh monarchistic, nepok tyrants, right?
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:06.960
Like it was it was all like through a lens of like Western um hysteria.
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:07.360
Yeah.
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.720
However, the the scenes that you saw from them were uh terrible.
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.440
However, they can't even do now that now.
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:15.840
Uh yeah, I I've said this before.
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:25.120
It's only been about two years of the 20 by 10 initiative, and since 2019, they started to facelift a lot of other cities out other than Pyongyang and and fix shit up.
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:34.159
But uh in the next eight years, um it'll be ten years of the twenty by ten and they would have achieved the goals that they set out to achieve.
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:44.960
The DPRK is going to be unrecognizable, and a lot of the propaganda that exists now against them is not going to be able to exist at that point because it's going to be a completely different place.
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:46.960
You're not going to be able to deny it anymore.
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:48.480
It's like when we look at China today.
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:51.279
Some people look at China, they're still stuck back in the 1960s.
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:52.639
China's not like that anymore.
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:54.639
China's not like it was in the 90s.
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:55.679
You know what I mean?
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:57.840
China China is is the now.
00:14:59.120 --> 00:14:59.840
China is the right now.
00:14:59.919 --> 00:15:01.360
They're flying taxis, Cappy.
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:04.320
Flying taxis, cyberpunk cities, you know.
00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:05.039
True.
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:06.080
But at what cost?
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:13.039
Every time the China's biggest crime is proving left comms wrong every time they open their eyes.
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:14.799
And for that, it's unforgivable.
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:26.799
How dare you make Western uh theoretical arm armchair theoreticians feel bad every time their idealistic idea of socialism is proven wrong?
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:27.600
Yeah.
00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:28.159
Yeah.
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:28.720
Yeah.
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:29.679
That's true.
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:31.039
Get fucked, Leftcoms.
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:31.759
It's exciting, yeah.
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:32.320
Get fucked.
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:33.519
It is, is okay.
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.759
So we have a win for the MLs right here.
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:37.840
Based base DPRK.
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:38.159
Okay.
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:39.600
And Madeline, good take.
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:40.240
We like that.
00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:40.559
Yes.
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:43.679
Okay, up next we have Mocha Yappuccino.
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:44.000
Yeah.
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:46.080
I like Mocha.
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:47.279
I I mo here.
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:49.360
I'm gonna uh qualify us real quick.
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:50.159
I I like Mocha.
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:50.960
I follow Mocha.
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:52.799
Mocha puts out some good videos.
00:15:53.039 --> 00:16:02.720
The one thing that that I I would say to Mocha is he should learn what certain words he uses means because sometimes he just misuses them and it kind of detracts from the point he's making.
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:11.360
Maybe he's not a theory head, that's okay, he does a good job, but you do have to be careful because people will get hung up on that word and not the actual content of what you're saying.
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:12.080
You know what I mean?
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:15.279
No, he's a very sound strategist, social media strategist.
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:15.919
Here's one thing.
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:27.679
One guy uh back in when I would make memes all the time, somebody uh somebody would uh uh somebody came to me and said, Okay, in as much as I can tell you the formula, here's the formula.
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:30.639
Make a typo in the title.
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:34.320
You will instantly get eight comments and then I'll drive up algorithm.
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:51.440
If you make a typo in your title for the the meme that you're posting on Twitter or Reddit, it'll instantly get eight comments by know it all, smarty pants, correcting your grammar mistake, and it'll it'll cause an instant algorithmic uptick in views to it.
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:52.960
And I was like, oh shit.
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:54.879
So you Mocha Yappuccino very strong.
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:56.240
That can be what Mocha's doing.
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:58.399
What he's doing here is a very strong tactic.
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:00.080
A left com would never dream of this.
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:02.879
They can't even conceive of such uh such trickery.
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:04.400
That's why they'll always fail.
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.440
All right, so let's check out what Mocha Yappuccino has to say here.
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:08.000
Yeah.
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:17.839
But Mocha, if you use capitalism or a mixed mode of production to build your productive forces, aren't the rich people just going to take power and prevent communism from ever happening?
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:20.960
That's why you seize the banks.
00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:24.000
That's why you nationalize elections.
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:30.880
That's why you make it illegal for them to stick their hands in politics, leaving the country, evade taxes.
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:34.640
That's why you nationalize telecommunications, transport.
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:40.799
That's why you see countries after revolutionary take takes power, they seize all this shit.
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:43.839
They nationalize the oil, they nationalize the mines.
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:53.440
It's so they can build the productive forces, big up their economy, but they don't run the risk of the rich taking power from the niggas who need to be in charge.
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:58.720
You even see Burkina Faso doing this, China does this, Vietnam does this.
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:00.640
That's why you do that.
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:03.359
That's the state capitalism that people are referring to.
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:12.480
It's basically countries or leaders saying, hey, capitalists, we need you for this one thing, but if you fuck with anything else, we're gonna fucking kill you, nigga.
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:15.200
True.
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:16.400
That is what they do.
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:19.519
And I think that's what people can't uh they can't reconcile.
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:26.079
I had so many people in the lives today talking about how is it a dictatorship of the proletariat if there's bourgeoisie?
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.160
I was like, show me where Mark said DOTP is when no bourgeoisie.
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:42.160
It just means that the DOP aren't enfranchised and the the dictatorship of the proletariat is meant to slowly wrench power from them and apply it at the state, which is what you see all these Marxist-Leninist projects doing.
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.440
So again, left com's debunked by actually reading Marx.
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:56.640
No, I was yeah, I would argue um that Marx would consider if the DOTP is a thing, then there are classes still, and that's why the DOTP is still a thing.
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:07.279
So, no, like yeah, um, but also yeah, what Mocha is describing here is the um he's he's basically saying keep control of the commanding heights of the economy, right?
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:11.599
Make public ownership predominant and lock down the political system.
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:12.640
You know what I mean?
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:31.920
And that's how you that's that's how you keep can because here's the thing the bourgeoisie in China that way you get you get all of the spontaneous anar anarchic capitalistic action that's hard to plan down to the nth degree, and you're just covering it in a higher ordinate fit way by firewalling in between legislation and lobbying.
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:33.680
Yeah, and erosion.
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:45.839
Lobbying's illegal in China, they have the bourgeoisie on a fucking leash, and um they cannot gain political power, they quite literally cannot function uh fully as a class.
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:50.480
And what I mean by that, so I don't get misconstrued uh when people go, but they are a class.
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:55.200
What I mean is that they cannot seize political power, they do not have political power in China.
00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:55.759
Yeah.
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:06.240
They have been they have been the state exists like uh under the Marxian dis uh uh definition and designation as a tool to oppress them, and they are oppressed.
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:06.880
Oh, hell yeah.
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:10.000
They're they're not executed, there is not this or whatever.
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:14.319
However, so there's some uh convenient disappearances disappearances here and there, which we like.
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:15.599
They do you see?
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:24.559
I never use the they execute billionaires argument to make my point that China's socialist, because I think that there's way more convincing arguments to make, but um, they do.
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:31.759
If you if you commit an economic crime in China, uh they will quite literally come in and break up your company, nationalize it, and execute you.
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:32.960
That's something they do.
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:50.640
And even like highly prolific companies, if I'm not mistaken, if you uh start getting X amount of money coming in and you start like uh having economic potentiality, right, to sort of move stuff uh via economics, they just place uh like party members on your board, don't they?
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:52.160
Like effectively like babysit.
00:20:52.559 --> 00:21:03.920
Yeah, this is something I'm currently writing an article about, but at first they uh uh rolled out democratic management, it's called, uh, in state-owned enterprises and communist party organs within state-owned enterprises.
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:16.799
But now this type of thing has extended uh to privately owned enterprises, and I believe some 70% of privately owned enterprises have communist party organs in them and some form of state uh some form of democratic management.
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:28.799
So and it it could be all, they can do that, and they are probably working towards it because according to the company law in China, um, you have to let them set up a communist party organ in an enterprise.
00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:42.640
You cannot say no to that, whether you're if we're talking about private property, uh uh cooperative, uh pu public, it all any any functioning enterprise in China has to allow that to happen if the party wants it to happen.
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:58.480
So this isn't like a sort of murky uh sort of corporal fascist uh liaison like people were I saw people in bad faith trying to say that basically uh China is doing corporal fascism akin to Dang was like Mussolini.
00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:17.359
I'm like, that's not even that's What a perverse way to like you like why not they don't look at Palantir and think that, but uh instead babysitters being placed there to prevent chicanery is being is being touted as some sort of corporal fascist Italian fascist mechanism.
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:34.640
It's just like fucking with these people are just kind of deranged and they just want they want to wish this into being a degenerate worker state capitalist system so bad that they're willing to bend reality to their will definitionally, which is by definition a left comment's throughput through all of them.
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:38.720
Bending reality as it exists to what they want it to be definitionally.
00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:39.359
Sure.
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:41.759
Yeah, no, uh, that's a ridiculous claim.
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:51.839
Anybody who's not only read about Mussolini, but who's read Mussolini and who understands what happened in Italy uh under the fascist rule would laugh at that.
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:54.400
That's an insane thing to to suggest.
00:22:54.559 --> 00:23:02.000
I'm not even going to uh I wouldn't even uh uh like address that in my chat because it's so fucking stupid.
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:04.640
And it's trivializing fascism, which we shouldn't do.
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:14.079
Now do they see so under uh under Mussolini there was also some um uh some collectivization that had happened was broken up, right?
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:25.599
And I've I was waiting for that to drop, but they never they're not very good at making arguments when they're anti-China, but I was waiting to see something about like some worker strikes are forbidden, right?
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:26.480
How does that work?
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:28.960
How does labor organizing work in China?
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:32.640
Because I don't I do know it doesn't work like the way it would here, yeah.
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:39.200
So um the trade unions uh and stuff like that um function throughout the country.
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:47.839
People do go on strike and stuff like that and protest, and and generally, from what I've read, their their uh requests do get answered, right?
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:50.559
It's taken a hell of a lot more serious than it is here.
00:23:50.799 --> 00:24:02.160
With that said, some independent protests, especially ones that are funded through NGOs, which is a pretty popular thing in China for Western NGOs to fund movements, uh, they are deemed illegal.
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:19.039
Um but um like who am I to even criticize that when uh we're we're literally uh here in the United States right now, uh we are straight kidnapping protesters off the street from outside the front of uh uh you know Delaney Hall fucking concentration.
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:20.480
Yeah, Delaney Hall, for instance.
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:38.480
I mean, you know, as someone from New Jersey and and and as someone who knows people who were at that and in eating fucking pepper balls and and um tear gas all night, um yeah, I'm it's I'm not um you know, I like it it's you China's not doing that.
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:46.960
You're not that sympathetic to the people using this as a uh as a fulcrum to levy anti-Chinese rhetoric.
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:48.480
No, here's the thing.
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:59.519
Like I always say, when I go outside, if my if my lawn's got a bunch of weeds and it needs to be be mowed, I'm not gonna look over at my neighbor's lawn and criticize them for their weeds and how tall their grass is.
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:03.039
I'm gonna go get my lawn mower and I'm gonna mow my own fucking lawn.
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:04.240
True.
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:05.680
Uh I don't have a lawn.
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:14.000
Privileged, uh petite bourgeois, red army capo barra with all the potentiality of being a landlord, lording his lawn over his own.
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:16.720
My front lawn is like six feet, dude.
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:18.240
It's not that much in the six.
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:21.599
Now you're lawnmogging me still.
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:24.000
Like humble flex.
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:27.839
You live out there in the fucking big iron on his hip land.
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:28.880
Do you know what I mean?
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:30.559
Okay, an apartment.
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:36.960
Well, there isn't like a not a lot of nice cultivated lawns here at the property, but that's neither here nor there.
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:40.480
Uh you know, and you know we get that fucking leaf blowers all the time.
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:42.319
I swear to god, like three times a fucking week.
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:47.920
I don't know what they're doing, but uh, you should be lucky you have such a teeny and emasculine lawn.
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:49.279
You're actually lucky.
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:49.839
Okay.
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:50.400
Yeah, I think.
00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:53.440
So this next yeah, Socialista Champagne.
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:55.759
Now I've been loving their takes recently.
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:55.920
Yeah.
00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:57.680
Socialista Champagne.
00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:59.759
Uh what yeah, she's great.
00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:00.079
All right.
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:01.359
So here's another good take.
00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:04.480
Uh uh uh cultivated, not cultivated.
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:10.799
Here is another take, uh a good take aggregated by Red Army Capabarra from Socialista Champagne.
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:15.119
Why are people sympathetic to Russia in the Russia-Ukraine war?
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:17.279
I'll break it down without sugarcoating.
00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:19.359
So if you like sugarcoats, keep scrolling.
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:29.680
Russia has recognized Palestine unwaveringly since 1988, recognizes East Jerusalem as its capital, and hosts a Palestinian embassy in Moscow.
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:30.880
Ukraine does not.
00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:35.200
Many of us don't automatically prioritize European lives over African ones.
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:41.039
Africa has long been stripped of its wealth and autonomy and faced genocide after genocide to no end in sight.
00:26:41.279 --> 00:27:03.680
Russia has historically supported African sovereignty from helping end apartheid in South Africa to aiding decolonization in multiple former European colonies in Africa, and today Russia continues to offer military and political support to the Sahel states resisting French dominance, showing a consistent track record of supporting African self-determination without recolonizing them in return.
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:07.279
Europe, in contrast, has mostly undermined African independence.
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:10.079
NATO's expansion eastward is a glaring double standard.
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:14.480
The Warsaw Pact ended decades ago, and yet NATO didn't disband.
00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:16.480
It grew closer to Russia's borders.
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:22.319
Imagine if Russia had military alliances with missiles that could reach New York all over Latin America.
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:27.680
During the Cold War, the US threatened nuclear war over Soviet missiles in Cuba just for a few days.
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:31.920
Yet NATO's creeping presence near Russia is tolerated as defensive.
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:34.240
NATO is far from a neutral alliance.
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:46.240
It operates as the imperial arm of the US military power, shaping pipelines, resource dominance, and trade routes globally, as seen in Libya, Iraq, and several former colonies in Africa resisting Europeans.
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:53.440
It is absolutely a threat to your markets to have NATO pull up on your borders, especially when you're deliberately not allowed to join their alliance.
00:27:53.839 --> 00:28:02.799
In twenty thirteen, Ukraine, the key transit route for Russian gas to Europe, signed$10 billion deals with US energy companies, signaling a pivot away from Russia.
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:06.319
EU consumers benefit more from cheaper Russian gas nearby.
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:09.200
Hostile relations with Russia make no economic sense.
00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:14.400
Russia is the most resource-rich country and a net exporter, meaning they export more than they import.
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:16.640
Antagonizing them hurts European trades.
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:20.000
Russia's pipelines have been attacked in ways that harm Europe.
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:23.119
Nord Stream in 2022, roots in Slovakia and Hungary.
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:27.519
Many see this as reckless, especially from a non-EU state like Ukraine.
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:32.640
Russia maintains sovereignty and national industries rather than neoliberalizing everything like the EU.
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:46.559
Its government has started to actively target oligarchs now and nationalize strategic sectors more, demonstrating more independence and long-term over short-sighted strategy like we see in the EU, which is going to harm us when the US finally folds, which it will.
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:54.079
After Crimea's annexation in 2014, some regions had pro-Russian separatists as Eastern Ukraine has a large ethnic Russian population.
00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:59.759
The lands Russia currently controls were part of Russia until recently, when they were given to Ukraine during USSR.
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:02.240
Okay, abrupt stop there, but true.
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:04.880
And it's so funny when I'm listening to this.
00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:09.359
Why is it that left comms specifically and liberals generally?
00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:13.119
I understand why liberals have general anti-Russia uh derangement.
00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:28.400
It was a key figure in electoral conspiracy theories, especially lobbied by the Democrats, talking about vote tampering, and there was other stuff like Reality Winner was in fact incarcerated for exposing that there was key fisher uh was it a key fishing?
00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:29.039
What the hell?
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:43.119
Um uh basically email spoofing attacks on some uh election uh uh commissions and like just going over like voter rolls for like county clerks and stuff like that.
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:52.480
It was kind of like okay, so but that is zero sum game, probably uh the type of things that all of the major world powers kind of do to each other.
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:54.480
I'm expecting China go ahead.
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:58.480
We're talking about a handful of Russian trolls on the internet.
00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:03.440
You know, and people are like Putin tried to no Putin didn't do shit.
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:06.640
Some fucking Russian trolls on the internet did some shit.
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:10.480
That's a crazy thing to be like, well, Putin Putin must have directed it.
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:21.759
Putin was trying to fuck up our no like everything everything that happens vis-a-vis hacking via Russia is all of a sudden magically transformed into an FSB op.
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:25.519
Yeah, no, it's it's yeah, it's absolutely goofy.
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:36.319
Um which I don't I don't know enough to say about the origination of that, but I understand that did that and the CrowdStrike stuff, even though that was Ukraine, a lot of Russian conspiracism, and then there was also the Facebook stuff.
00:30:36.400 --> 00:31:00.799
So I understand why liberals do it, but why do left comms who don't care about the material conditions of people, especially since all of them seem to be Western European Brit Bongers, Angloids, and uh French people and all that, why do they not care about the worse outcomes that they get economically with a superpower like Russia being such an apt and ready um uh source of energy?
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:11.519
Why are they suffering through frigid European winters to to serve the uh United States purposes which aren't aligned with their interests?
00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:23.920
Why are they so ready to ignore geopolitical realities and the material uh the material conditions of the people in Europe to serve the United States imperial stuff?
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:29.599
And why are they aligning with State Department rhetoric about Russia?
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:30.000
Yeah.
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:42.640
Just because they are they they the used so Russia's crime is that it used to be the USSR, which they take exact uh contention with, and thus Russia is is a bad actor because Stalin?
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:48.480
Like, are they holding a historical grudge and which makes them blind to the geopolitical realities of today?
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:49.279
What's going on?
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:52.240
The issue for them is Russia is a capitalist state.
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:52.640
It is.
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:54.160
No one no one disagrees with that.
00:31:54.319 --> 00:31:56.160
Marxist-Leninists don't disagree with that.
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:56.640
It is.
00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:00.559
However, I Vladimir Putin is a secret Bukharonite.
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:21.599
Vladimir Putin is a fucking avowed communist, and he's part of the KGB, and the KGB still exists, and he's doing a log longitudinal secret undercover op, and he is strategically uh retreating into uh Bukharonite positions and making a public show of a retreat into capitalism, but this the USSR will rise again.
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:23.119
The USSR will rise again.
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:24.720
That would be nice if it were true.
00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:27.599
I don't think it is, but this is this is my take on it.
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:32.880
And and and this, you know, again, uh I don't think uh there's a lot of blind spots for Americans.
00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:35.680
And post-socialism is one of those.
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:37.200
There that shouldn't be a thing.
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:46.559
Post-socialism was not thought that like that what what do you mean post-socialism is supposed to be communism, you know, a fully developed communism.
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:55.839
So when we talk about a post-socialist society, what we have to consider is that these are not the same as Western bourgeois democracies.
00:32:56.000 --> 00:33:02.880
Now, this isn't to say that they're socialist, however, the USSR is an inseparable part of the history of modern Russia.
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:15.039
Whether we talk about politics, their infrastructure, their social system, the culture, so on and so forth, um the USSR is embedded in that still.
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:18.160
And so we see very peculiar things.
00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:28.480
Um now I would argue that a lot of the socialistic type policies we've seen Putin enact uh against oligarchs and this, that, the other thing.
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:44.640
I think that that has more to do less to do with him being actual right, because I don't think Putin's a communist, but what I do think is that you cannot avoid living in the global system of imperialism, being a victim of imperialism, you cannot avoid the trend of socialism.
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:47.599
You cannot avoid doing socialistic things.
00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:50.960
It's an objective trend of human development.
00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:52.720
It's almost a trait of campus.
00:33:52.960 --> 00:34:03.839
And somebody was saying, I understand your positions because from a campus perspective, I'm like, no, the reason why these people are seen as anti-US or whatever is because they're doing things a lot.
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:21.519
When you do things and when the the main capitalistic uh imperial hegemon, when the imperial hegemon is capitalistic, the things that you do to prevent yourself from exploitation by them look like socialism because socialism itself was a reaction to capitalism.
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:22.639
So it's not in one thing.
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:27.760
So people are saying, oh, you're just anti-cam uh, you're uh you're uh anti-American campus, and that's why you support DPRK.
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:33.760
I'm like, the reason the US is against DPRK is because they're fucking run by MLs.
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:35.519
They're doing socialist things.
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:46.960
That's why the US hates them and they continue to do stuff by taking their liberated table off the buffet-style resource extraction that the US demands, and that's why they're persona non grot on pariah estate.
00:34:47.360 --> 00:34:53.760
So the things that you do to shore up from Western aggression are the same things that you would do socialistically, anyways.
00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:56.960
You're taking food away from capitalists.
00:34:57.199 --> 00:34:58.239
That's what you're doing.
00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:01.599
I I'll I'll say this, and and the left comms can clip it.
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:08.239
I've said this a whole bunch, uh, so uh please clip it and post it all over TikTok and call me Lasalian or whatever you want.
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:15.440
But uh um Vladimir Putin, who is not a communist, is a better communist than any one of these left comms.
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:22.400
Uh when when Vladimir Putin gave jets to the Bolivarian Revolution to defend themselves against US imperialism, it was fucking based.
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:32.719
When Vladimir uh Putin uh builds uh a good healthy relationship with North Korea and trades with them, them being one of the most sanctioned countries in the world, that's a good fucking thing.
00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:33.360
We like that.
00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:38.559
When Vladimir Putin helps out uh the Burkinabe people, we fucking like that.
00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:46.639
When when Vladimir Putin has a good relationship with Cuba and and signs military contracts with Cuba, we fucking like that.
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:55.039
Vladimir Putin has done more for the international communist movement in the modern day than any one of these left comms ever have, and he's not even a communist.
00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:57.360
And they have no plans of doing anything.
00:35:57.679 --> 00:35:58.559
Point blank period.
00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:01.519
I was asking them today, what does your form of organization look like?
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:02.320
How do you do it?
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:02.960
And they can't.
00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:13.280
They punt the they punt the ball into some near hypothetical future of where the capitalist social capitalist social relation is already gone, and then they can do their dictatorship.
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:17.840
It's like pure hypothetical, tautological circle jerk bullshit.
00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:36.719
Because they are literally ideologically rendering themselves impotent by their lack of organization, their refusal to partake in statism, which they could denote as liberal for some reason, which is weird because Marx advocated for a republic, which the dictatorship they're literally anti-Marxian fucking fraudsters.
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:39.280
And you have to wonder what the point is after a certain point.
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:40.239
You know what I mean?
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:53.199
Do you think that these left comms, especially the ones right now, furious, red faced, scrunched brow, fucking beady eyes, their fists clenched, uh uh gnashing their teeth and twisting their hands up, listening to this right now?
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:58.880
Do you think any of these people will come to have a come to Jesus moment and start to accept any of these ML projects?
00:36:59.280 --> 00:36:59.679
Sure.
00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:04.000
Uh I I I think uh a lot of them are young uh and they may.
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:14.480
However, uh being as it uh as it is that uh most of that these people are from Western countries, you can never be too sure, especially for the ones in America.
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:18.800
Americans are exceptionally um, how could I put it nicely?
00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:25.280
Ignorant Ugly, stupid, oh okay, ignorant and closed-minded, very narrow.
00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:26.400
You know what I mean?
00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:32.480
Um so I And they have not unpacked the multitudes, they don't even have touch points with reality.
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:51.440
What they are doing is tilting at uh cartoonishly evil windmills that have been built up in their head about these autocratic, evil, excessive, uh fail, degenerate worker states and whatever that they that corresponds to uh CIA aligned think tanks uh descriptions of these projects.
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:53.760
Yeah, well, you know, it's not shocking.
00:37:53.920 --> 00:38:06.079
It's not shocking considering that the new left um in at least in the US, I'm not sure about other places, it popped up back in the 60s and 70s, but uh it the new left here was infiltrated by the CIA.
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:20.000
Yeah, so we were uh contemplating doing an episode about that about the Russian Institute at Columbia and Western Marxism and how much of it was de jure like a CIA op uh through like the Ford Foundation and other stuff.
00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:21.519
We were contemplating doing that.
00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:23.039
Uh there's that one book.
00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:24.559
We should do an episode on that.
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:25.519
I think that's very interesting.
00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:30.000
Okay, this next one here, Raul Duke.
00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:32.960
Let's try to power through neuron number four here.
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:40.800
Understand that the Western capitalist governments are terrified of China and their Belt and Road initiative.
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:44.239
And it's going to fundamentally break capitalism.
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:54.639
Capitalism requires an exploited group of countries where you extract resources from, and China's gonna make it impossible for the West to continue doing it.
00:38:54.880 --> 00:39:20.239
If you read Walter Rodney's How the West Underdeveloped Africa, he talks about how Europe and the United States trapped Africa into a state of being permanently underdeveloped, offering them loans to develop their country, allegedly, but really it was just enough so that they could extract resources out of them, develop the mines, build some roads so they can cart the stuff out and some airports, pay off the ruling class.
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:22.639
And the loans were deliberately exploitative.
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:25.599
It traps them in a cycle of debt they'll never be able to pay off.
00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:29.599
If they don't pay it back, the US will invade them.
00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:37.760
They end up spending significantly more of their money on debt repayment to the West than actually building up their education system or manufacturing capability.
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:42.960
So it traps them in a cycle of debt they're never able to get out, and that is great for the West.
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:51.840
Now China's come in and they're saying, we actually want to help you develop your education system and your manufacturing capability.
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:56.000
We want a trading partner, not a country to exploit.
00:39:56.480 --> 00:39:57.920
Uh so we'll help you.
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:00.000
And if you like us, let's do business.
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:04.320
Once these countries are actually developed, Pandora's box is open.
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:05.199
There's no going back.
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:09.760
The US and the West can no longer exploit these countries in the way they've been doing.
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:13.119
This is going to break capitalism fundamentally.
00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:20.000
That's why they're spreading so much lies and trying to convince you that it's imperialism, same as they've been doing.
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:27.840
If it's not clear from everything else, that we are witnessing the death throes of capitalism and they are lashing out.
00:40:28.320 --> 00:40:30.400
This is the face of late-stage capitalism.
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:40.400
Yes, left comms are the face of late-stage capitalism and its death throes, equivocating and talking about social imperialism, debt trap financing.
00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:44.400
It was so funny because people lobby that levy that claim against China.
00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:52.719
The WEF and the IEF and the World Bank.
00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:56.719
Uh um, and they're like, No, I'm talking about China doing it.
00:40:56.800 --> 00:41:03.199
They're doing debt trap funding via their Belt and Road to do social imperialism in China.
00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:09.599
It's like, brother, why are you silent on the US actually doing that and equivocating and lying about China doing it?
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:11.599
But they they can't help it, Cappy.
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:12.719
No, I know.
00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:21.440
The the um Belt and Road initiative is the beginning of the world, the the greatest anti-colonialist project, anti-imperialist project that the world has ever seen.
00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:26.000
This is a huge part of the thing that Chinese talk about, the a shared future for mankind.
00:41:26.079 --> 00:41:30.800
That's what they want to be build, a a community and a shared future for mankind.
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:33.119
And I think that that sounds fucking great.
00:41:33.760 --> 00:42:07.440
Yeah, and I do I don't even think necessarily that China has to be while while there's a default social relation of capitalism in the world, while that is the status quo, even if there was self-interest being perpetuated on the behalf of Chinese, you do get access to rare rare earth minerals to uh to as a requisite resource for their uh productive uh prolificness, the the uh the production powerhouse that's going on in China now.
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:13.679
I think all things being equal, they are doing non-asymmetrical deals that genuinely benefit people.
00:42:13.840 --> 00:42:33.679
The conditions are better in those Chinese funded um uh projects, they have better outcomes for the people, the conditions are better for the workers, the extraction policies are better, cleaner, they've gotten rid of artisan uh mining, they they're opting for automation, they have banned child labor.
00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:42.639
Everything is better, and the money, which is often forgiven at a higher rate than the West forgave them, comes with no predatory strings.
00:42:43.039 --> 00:43:04.239
Uh classically, the China the capitalists would trap you by g making strings attached to loans, which sort of necessitated that you wouldn't nationalize stuff and in fact you would give access to uh what they considered good arbiters, which is Western Western uh corporations, to be able to go in there and get rights for extraction and stuff like that.
00:43:04.719 --> 00:43:07.039
IMF forces restructuring on people.
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:08.239
Uh China doesn't do that.
00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:12.159
And like you said, they forgive a lot of loans, and also a lot of people don't know this.
00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:14.000
China loses out in a lot of deals.
00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:16.320
China gives more than they get from the deals.
00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:19.360
So um, yeah, it's it's incorrect.
00:43:19.440 --> 00:43:26.000
Uh the the imperialism claim against China is something that you could debate on so many levels, and it it's nonsensical.
00:43:26.159 --> 00:43:32.400
But I think um maybe these people will come to when they start to see uh the new world that is being born.
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:39.119
But we see the we see DPRK blooming right now, and they're still even like uh liberals and left comms alike.
00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:40.000
What's the difference?
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:47.440
Are both levying degenerate worker states, privation, autocracy, monarchy, fucking 1990s starvation.
00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:50.159
It's like, bro, look at Pyongyang right now, dog.
00:43:50.400 --> 00:43:57.039
That old picture, that doctored photo of uh DPRK being dark at night, that's brother, that doesn't work anymore.
00:43:57.119 --> 00:43:59.039
Just take a take a picture during the day, homie.
00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:03.599
Like, there's fucking Fucking gigantic neo-futuristic skyscrapers going on.
00:44:03.840 --> 00:44:05.440
And they give them away to people for free.
00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:07.519
You can just live in those apartments.
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:08.559
Like, holy shit.
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:10.400
They're like, no, the 90s.
00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:10.719
Yeah.
00:44:10.960 --> 00:44:11.760
No, but the 90s.
00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:24.000
So I think that these people are going to be able to just close their eyes and criticize Africa and their relation, the better, more fruitful relationship that they have with China because they're working backwards from a conclusion that they want to have.
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:25.280
Absolutely, yeah.
00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:25.599
Yep.
00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:28.239
And they're ugly and stinky, and girls don't like them.
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:30.320
Okay.
00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:33.199
So yes, W China, good job.
00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:36.159
Okay, now right now we have Diraffe Dodger, Khalil.
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:37.360
Yeah, I like Khalil.
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:40.320
Yeah, I haven't I haven't been seeing a lot of him on my FYP.
00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:42.000
Has he been quiet as of late?
00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:42.559
I don't know.
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:45.440
Man, what have he's been up to?
00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:47.280
Yeah, I like a lot of his videos.
00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:50.000
Yeah, alright, let's check out Khalil here.
00:44:50.400 --> 00:45:03.280
Kenop also banning homosexuality is objectively a bad thing, but the issue arises when you realize that Americans and people of the West do not view sovereignty as a country's right to self-determine, and instead they view it as a country's right to self-determine in a way that they see acceptable.
00:45:03.440 --> 00:45:07.199
The reality is a country's sovereignty also includes the right for them to make mistakes.
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:10.960
First of all, you're acting as though he just banned homosexuality in West Hollywood.
00:45:11.119 --> 00:45:16.800
Burkina Faso is a Muslim-majority country where nearly 90% of the people there subscribe to either Islam or Christianity.
00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:20.159
The only reason that shit passed is because homophobia is not unpopular there.
00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:29.679
The only reason in America we have the liberal surface level reform that we see today, which leaves LGBTQIA plus people on the chopping block every four years, is because we've had hundreds of years to figure that out.
00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:34.400
Burkina Faso has only been free of direct Eurocolonial influence for less than four years.
00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:39.679
If that is a deal breaker for you supporting a people's revolution, then news splash, you wouldn't have supported the Cuban Revolution either.
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:44.400
Because Fidel Castro was doubling down on his country's already existing homophobia during his revolution.
00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:48.159
Because like Burkina Faso, they were in the process of finding their country's cultural identity.
00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:52.000
Y'all be running around giving props to the Houthis in Yemen for standing up for Palestine.
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:56.400
Meanwhile, their laws on gay people are objectively worse than the ones in Burkina Faso.
00:45:56.480 --> 00:46:03.760
The difference between Yemen and Cuba though is that Cuba has had time to evolve as a country, which eventually led to them having protections for gay people in their country.
00:46:03.920 --> 00:46:08.960
Yemen didn't get independence from the British until 1967, and the West has been trying to destabilize them since.
00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:16.320
And it is nearly impossible to advocate for gay people's rights in any capacity if you are constantly under the threat of bombardment, famine, and destabilization.
00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:21.039
The patriarchy and by extension homophobia has been deeply ingrained into the society of the globe.
00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:22.719
No country is bigger than the program.
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:26.079
In order to secure those rights for people, they have to go through the proper steps.
00:46:26.159 --> 00:46:28.159
And those steps happen internally over time.
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:33.920
That being said, do I support Bikina Faso, the Houthis, Fidel Castro because they are bastions of gay rights?
00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:34.239
No.
00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:38.559
I support them because I realize the anti-colonial movement is the first step to achieving gay rights.
00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:42.239
Anticolonial movement is the first step to achieving any rights for marginalized people.
00:46:42.400 --> 00:46:44.880
And those things happen internally on their own timeline.
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:46.000
And here's a hot take.
00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:53.119
I feel like Americans will struggle with finding their own liberation because we've been so programmed to believe that change comes from external forces.
00:46:53.280 --> 00:47:00.239
We have been so programmed by America's morality-backed foreign intervention style that we are sitting around waiting for someone to come here and save us.
00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:04.639
We do not realize that the only people responsible for upholding our rights is Americans ourselves.
00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:06.079
Just like Burkina Faso.
00:47:06.159 --> 00:47:06.880
Just like Cuba.
00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:11.920
And let me remind you that it only took 20 years of internal struggle to actually secure the rights of gay people.
00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:13.519
And Fidel Castro apologize.
00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:20.480
Ibrahim Traora is a young man who is actively evolving as a leader, and Burkina Faso is a young nation that is actively evolving as a country.
00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:23.280
Now I need to stop trying to put these motherfuckers on the Western timeline.
00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:25.039
They will figure those issues out for themselves.
00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:26.880
And I will support them every step of the way.
00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:28.159
Agree, good take.
00:47:28.239 --> 00:47:42.800
And I also want to say that classically, uh queer college groups have been vectors of CIA interventionism, and I I predict that is why Abraham Treori specifically banned like public displays of homosexuality.
00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:44.880
This isn't make gay people illegal.
00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:57.679
What they banned effectively, what the law was, if I'm not mistaken, was public displays and like protests surrounding around homosexuality, which have been classically been vectors for CIA interventionism, which is what they do.
00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:07.760
They pick a cause that looks good on the surface, uh, give them training resources, whatever, and then they try to agitate larger anti-state protests, which they hope catch on.
00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:10.320
Yeah, in order to do regime change.
00:48:10.559 --> 00:48:10.719
Right.
00:48:10.960 --> 00:48:11.920
It's a Trojan horse.
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:16.000
Because the US doesn't care about gay people or trans people, just so we're clear.
00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:17.519
Yeah, they do not.
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:18.639
Democrats don't either.
00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:21.760
I I was gonna say this too.
00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:36.480
I think a lot of a lot of the people who are are detractors of ours who we've seen talk about this issue, um uh Spontex they well, not him, because he's older, but you and I come from a time when gay people here could not get married.
00:48:36.960 --> 00:48:38.239
That was not a legal thing.
00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:39.360
Yeah, the the it was.
00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:42.719
Yeah.
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:50.559
The one minor exception we used to, you know, uh as kids, uh, we would talk uh, you know, you could go to Vegas, I guess, and and get a what was it called?
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:52.159
Uh unionship or whatever.
00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:53.039
Something like that.
00:48:53.519 --> 00:49:00.880
Yeah, but like there, you know, uh growing up I I knew um I had friends who had uh you know domestic partnership or something?
00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:01.920
Yeah, that's what it was.
00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:06.559
I I had friends though who had gay parents that couldn't get married, and that was something that we had talked about.
00:49:06.719 --> 00:49:09.440
And that you know, back then I never even understood it.
00:49:09.679 --> 00:49:11.519
But we come from a time where it wasn't normal.
00:49:11.679 --> 00:49:12.559
That wasn't normal.
00:49:12.800 --> 00:49:18.639
Trans people, I I I that wasn't even a uh a a thought on people's minds.
00:49:18.960 --> 00:49:22.000
This was a very homophobic anti-LGBTQ place.
00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:30.159
During my time in in elementary school, junior high, and high school, there was no openly gay class might uh classmates of mine.
00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:32.880
The Zoomers live in a fundamentally different world.
00:49:33.119 --> 00:49:34.639
Uh completely different.
00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:35.280
Yeah.
00:49:35.519 --> 00:49:47.280
So that's you know, it it it's it what's crazy to me is that you know, in my lifetime, this was an extremely hostile place, and then you know, now it's gotten a little bit better.
00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:49.119
It's still not all that better, let's be honest.
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:52.719
Trans people are systematically fucking oppressed here.
00:49:52.800 --> 00:50:04.320
Uh I think I saw a stat something that like black people are seven times more likely to get arrested, harassed by the cops, uh arrested for a weird thing, and then black trans women specifically are seven times more likely than that.
00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:10.079
So a black trans woman is like forty times 49 times more likely to get harassed by cops than you or me.
00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:14.880
Yeah, black trans women are the most oppressed people in American society by far.
00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:17.840
And um And Spontex isn't doing anything about it.
00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:36.000
No, no, but for us to criticize somebody else when we just started to get our shit together a little bit over the last decade or two, is you know what I'm like again, we got to clean up our own mess before we start criticizing the mess someone else made over there on a different table, you know?
00:50:36.239 --> 00:50:53.840
Yeah, and it shows how superficial the analysis is for especially a lot of these communizers, because this is the time I first ran a foul of uh uh Spontex was literally about Burkina Faso, where he wanted to dig his commentary was evil regime, Abraham Troyore, evil homophobe.
00:50:54.000 --> 00:50:57.760
And they were doing they can't be decolonizing because he's a homophobe.
00:50:57.920 --> 00:50:58.559
And I was like, What?
00:50:58.719 --> 00:50:59.920
They kicked the French out.
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:03.840
He's like, How are they decolonizing if they're doing these backward things?
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:05.039
How could how could they be?
00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:08.239
I'm like, what are do you one plus one equal three to you with that?
00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:14.159
No, kicking nationalizing production and kicking the French out is decolonizing and doing socialist things, like what are you talking?
00:51:14.400 --> 00:51:15.440
It's definitely a net gain.
00:51:15.519 --> 00:51:17.440
He's like, What about the what about the gay people?
00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:21.039
I was like, then I was bringing he like literally banned me and called me a homophobe.
00:51:21.119 --> 00:51:37.920
I'm like, brother, just because we're not single issue voters like you, stochastically calling for regime change because you didn't like one policy of a young African nation, like a holy fucking Western liberal take.
00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:49.840
Like K Khalil uh mentioned, um, the the the uh rights of gay people and trans people, they they will come to these societies through internal struggles as they develop.
00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:58.960
That type of thing comes with development, and we've seen it in all the existing socialist states, Cuba being the best example, China being a pretty good example now, Vietnam being a pretty good example.
00:51:59.119 --> 00:52:00.400
They still have a way to go.
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:04.480
Uh, they're not quite to the Cuba is fucking ahead of the world on that.
00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:08.400
Their family code is the most progressive family code in the world at the current time.
00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:29.360
And I can I say it's very peculiar for for people who are nominally communists, communizers, uh Marxist or otherwise, to think that anti-gay uh discrimination is anywhere near as oppressive as the economic oppression that was done under France, under French colonialism.
00:52:29.599 --> 00:52:53.199
The the gay people the gay Burkina people are better suited by large expansive socialist programs and development and kicking out colonizers than they are bothered or disenfranchised by not being able to kiss in public or something, which is probably a momentary stopgap to stop Western uh vectors of agitation.
00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:55.840
Yeah, no, I I I agree.
00:52:56.000 --> 00:53:14.079
And I think that even if it if that's not the case and it was a it's a law that they made uh for other reasons, it's a mistake, and I have faith that the Burkinabe people will uh struggle against that and and as they develop they will become more progressive because that's that's what economic economic development happens first, right?
00:53:14.239 --> 00:53:22.159
You're the the ideas you have, the the the uh superstructure develops you know as the substructure does.
00:53:22.320 --> 00:53:27.920
It's not to say the superstructure doesn't have an effect on the substructure, but the the substructure is dominant.
00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:35.599
And so with economic development, the views and the politics and and the so on and so forth, uh those types of aspects will also develop.
00:53:35.760 --> 00:53:48.320
So uh to just you know reject uh the burg the the AES, uh, you know, the Alliance of Sahel States and the revolutions going on in those countries uh for such a reason is uh absurd to me.
00:53:48.480 --> 00:54:03.280
Um, you know, again it makes sense if you're a Brit Bonger fucking communizer, though, who's a one-issue Andy uh just calling for stochastic regime change because you see it as a potentiality for more beloved CIA intervention like him and TJ love so much.
00:54:03.519 --> 00:54:08.320
Uh okay, we we gotta move on here, but also shout out to all the queer Berk Birkenabby people out there.
00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:09.119
Absolutely.
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:11.360
I'm sorry that happened.
00:54:11.519 --> 00:54:14.239
Uh okay, and let's go over your raise the rate.
00:54:14.559 --> 00:54:21.599
If you think that China isn't socialist, then tell me, why does the state own the means of production instead of a minority of wealthy parasites?
00:54:21.840 --> 00:54:27.360
Energy, heavy industry, transport, telecoms, finance, banks, all owned by the People's Vanguard?
00:54:27.679 --> 00:54:36.719
And why do over ninety percent of households own their own home, with land being publicly or collectively owned instead of corporations and landlords extracting rent forever?
00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:55.440
And why does China have consultative democracy where ordinary people not only vote for local representatives, but can communicate their grievances to the working class delegates that sit in the National People's Congress and shape national policy instead of just voting every few years and choosing between two corporate-backed pre-approved candidates?
00:54:55.760 --> 00:55:04.159
And why does China have a planned socialist economy that creatively leverages markets towards development that benefits the whole of Chinese society?
00:55:04.400 --> 00:55:09.679
Where the state sets the direction for 14 key sectors instead of letting capital run rampant?
00:55:10.079 --> 00:55:19.280
And why do they socialize surplus, using profits for social goals like infrastructure, RD, and welfare instead of lining the pockets of the parasitic elites?
00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:38.000
And why, if they aren't socialists, are communist party cells placed within private firms to ensure capital serves national developmental goals, where billionaires can face execution for corruption, where capital does not go above political authority and is used as a tool for the working class rather than a domination of the working class?
00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:50.159
And how the hell does China consistently increase their GDP by 5% each year without privatizing their entire economy and without cutting any social supports, but instead increasingly improving upon them?
00:55:50.480 --> 00:55:55.039
And if they aren't socialist, why do they practice anti-imperialism and internationalism?
00:55:55.280 --> 00:56:07.360
By building economic relationships without occupations, sanctions, military bases, or IMF style conditionality, they give access to their advanced technologies, so nations have the tools to bypass Western monopolies.
00:56:07.840 --> 00:56:18.320
We have to remember China is a society that is emerging from feudal and semi-colonial conditions, as Marx put it, stamped with the birthmarks of the old society from whose womb it emerges.
00:56:18.559 --> 00:56:23.679
You can't just jump to the higher phases of socialism and communism without the material basis for it.
00:56:23.840 --> 00:56:25.519
You can't liberate people off air.
00:56:25.679 --> 00:56:39.840
You need food, technology, infrastructure, especially when one fifth of humanity lives in your country, where your starting point was extreme poverty, where the world around you is dominated by capitalism, and when you're faced with the constant threat of US encirclement and imperialism.
00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:46.239
And despite tremendous early socialist achievements in the Mao era, China was still overwhelmingly rural and poor.
00:56:46.400 --> 00:56:59.519
Five hundred million people survived on less than a dollar a day, and now through decades of revolutionary construction, eight hundred and fifty million lifted out of poverty, China is a global superpower and a force for global peace as it weakens US hegemony.
00:56:59.679 --> 00:57:02.800
If all of this isn't socialism, you tell me what is.
00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:04.960
Fucking base take.
00:57:05.039 --> 00:57:05.679
Holy shit.
00:57:06.079 --> 00:57:06.719
She's good.
00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:08.239
Holy fucking shit.
00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:11.199
She's a part of a I'm gonna watch this like ten times and memorize it.
00:57:11.519 --> 00:57:13.760
She's a part of a collective, and they're all good.
00:57:13.920 --> 00:57:14.960
They're all very good.
00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:20.320
And they're in it's all the videos are like it's yeah, they're I have I think it's the Red Ant Collective or something.
00:57:20.480 --> 00:57:20.800
Fire.
00:57:20.960 --> 00:57:23.280
But no, Cappy, that's just state capitalism.
00:57:23.440 --> 00:57:23.599
Yeah.
00:57:23.679 --> 00:57:25.679
Well, Cappy, it's okay, dog.
00:57:25.840 --> 00:57:27.360
Just say you're a market socialist, bro.
00:57:27.440 --> 00:57:28.800
Oh my god, stop the cope, dog.
00:57:29.039 --> 00:57:39.360
I I was gonna say, but Marx wrote a letter to Vera Zasilich from the Narodniks where he said, blah, blah, you know, but no, the only thing I have to say about this is because I know detractors are gonna point it out.
00:57:39.599 --> 00:57:49.280
Um, yes, no, it uh public ownership of the means of production is predominant in China, and 100% of the land is owned and controlled by the party.
00:57:49.519 --> 00:57:53.679
Um so you know, because people are gonna go, well, not all of the means of that that's fine.
00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:55.119
Yeah, it's it's predominant.
00:57:55.280 --> 00:57:56.159
That's you know what I mean.
00:57:56.320 --> 00:58:05.360
That's they're what they what the Chinese call it is holding on to the essence of socialism, uh keeping the big, letting the small go as a means of developing.
00:58:05.679 --> 00:58:05.920
Right.
00:58:06.000 --> 00:58:08.079
And oh sh and they are fucking developing.
00:58:08.800 --> 00:58:27.920
There's far more development in China that I've seen than a left com develop anything, which is nothing other than an attitude and a stigma and a bad uh a bad worldview constituted on being reflexively anti-China because it is not the pure ideal form of socialism that they had in their head when they were a child and they misunderstood Marx.
00:58:28.400 --> 00:58:36.719
Some of them seem so pessimistic, nihilistic, and misanthropic that I could picture them developing a drug addiction to cope with it, but or becoming Republicans or something.
00:58:36.800 --> 00:58:37.519
I don't even know.
00:58:37.599 --> 00:58:40.480
They're like far closer than that than they are actual Marxists.
00:58:40.639 --> 00:58:42.800
But this is a fucking super base take.
00:58:42.880 --> 00:58:44.079
Holy shit, how concise.
00:58:44.480 --> 00:58:48.960
Yeah, I'm gonna be regurgitating uh regurgitating that by rote later on.
00:58:49.199 --> 00:58:49.599
Take that.
00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:52.320
Oh my god, my life's about to get so much spicier.
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:55.679
Okay, and we're gonna finish this up here with uh how do you say this?
00:58:55.840 --> 00:58:56.320
Mukamori?
00:58:56.480 --> 00:58:58.400
I think it's uh Muka Mori.
00:58:58.559 --> 00:59:01.679
Uh I'm not sure how to pronounce it 100%, but I love him.
00:59:02.000 --> 00:59:04.000
R Recording Art and Gadfly.
00:59:04.400 --> 00:59:05.840
His music's really good too.
00:59:05.920 --> 00:59:09.280
So you guys that are listening to this, check his music out because it's fire.
00:59:09.679 --> 00:59:11.280
We're gonna have all these linked, alright?
00:59:11.599 --> 00:59:12.480
Final one here.
00:59:13.599 --> 00:59:21.599
If a motherfucker's gone, and I'm going to save them, and then you disrupt me and try and tell me about how evil the motherfucker is.
00:59:30.480 --> 00:59:32.000
I'm going to save the motherfucker.
00:59:35.199 --> 00:59:36.239
I would have listened to you.
00:59:39.760 --> 00:59:41.280
I don't think you're the human being.
00:59:41.599 --> 00:59:43.840
I don't think you're I think you're evil.
00:59:44.159 --> 00:59:44.880
I think you're mad.
00:59:50.159 --> 00:59:50.800
You motherfucker.
00:59:51.039 --> 00:59:51.920
I know you're evil.
00:59:54.800 --> 00:59:56.000
I know you're evil, motherfucker.
01:00:22.480 --> 01:00:23.440
It's an evil way.
01:00:25.199 --> 01:00:26.559
I like what he's saying there.
01:00:26.719 --> 01:00:28.559
Okay, sure, but like I hear right there.
01:00:29.440 --> 01:00:44.880
I think there was a more apt metaphor, like, uh, you know, the US is like bombing and killing people abroad, and you shouldn't not do that just because your family was uh uh kicked off their plantation by a a uh a different ruler.
01:00:45.199 --> 01:00:46.480
I I like the way he put it.
01:00:47.360 --> 01:00:49.199
This is uh this is what I always say.
01:00:49.440 --> 01:00:54.000
If if because uh the I love that first part of the argument, and I've said this to people.
01:00:54.159 --> 01:01:03.760
When they criticize a country like say uh uh Burkina Faso or North Korea, I say, if you were getting jumped by a group of people and they're beating the shit out of you, you're close to death.
01:01:03.840 --> 01:01:10.800
They're taking your wallet out of your pocket, they're beating you, they're stomping on you, and there's a person standing by watching that.
01:01:10.960 --> 01:01:20.559
Do you want that person to help you and and scare them away and and pick you up off the ground, or do you want them to criticize you while you're getting curb stomped and robbed?
01:01:22.719 --> 01:01:25.599
Uh I want them to shoot the people.
01:01:26.000 --> 01:01:26.639
Yes.
01:01:26.880 --> 01:01:27.119
Yeah.
01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:27.440
Yeah.
01:01:27.679 --> 01:01:37.360
That's that's so when we criticize, like when whether it's Hamas or this group or that group, you're doing that while they're being beaten up and robbed.
01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:39.039
What kind of person does it?
01:01:39.119 --> 01:01:40.880
You should be offering a hand to them.
01:01:41.199 --> 01:01:41.920
Well, I don't know.
01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:48.719
I he kind of lost me with the metaphor in the beginning because the whole time I'm imagining someone saying, No, that guy's a Nazi, I'd be like, Oh, okay, yeah, I'll let him drown then.
01:01:48.880 --> 01:01:49.760
So, like, I don't know.
01:01:49.840 --> 01:01:50.159
I don't know.
01:01:50.239 --> 01:01:54.800
There was definitely a lot of people I would let drown if you're like, no, that's actually a general in the IOF.
01:01:54.960 --> 01:01:55.840
I'd be like, oh.
01:01:56.079 --> 01:01:57.360
Yeah, but you know what he's doing.
01:01:58.320 --> 01:02:00.159
I'll wait until I see the bubbles come up then.
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:06.400
No one's helping, you know, uh uh Bill Bill Clinton, you know, uh out of the water.
01:02:06.559 --> 01:02:07.360
You know what I mean?
01:02:07.440 --> 01:02:08.320
But I get his metaphor.
01:02:08.639 --> 01:02:11.280
In a jacuzzi-based incident, I would I would guess.
01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:18.079
I've used a similar metaphor before to to uh try just to try and get people to think of it.
01:02:18.559 --> 01:02:25.840
But yes, uh the the diaspora communities suck, especially in America.
01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:28.000
Why do they suck so fucking bad?
01:02:28.159 --> 01:02:33.599
Like, low-key, you did see Persian, Iranian people, whatever, like, nah, bomb them, it's fine.
01:02:33.760 --> 01:02:35.199
We don't like those ones anyways.
01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:39.119
It's like, bro, you're per like you're Iranian! What do you mean?
01:02:39.199 --> 01:02:40.639
It's like literally insane.
01:02:40.800 --> 01:02:42.960
They're like, actually, we we would support the U.S.
01:02:43.119 --> 01:02:44.800
indiscriminate bombing of that country.
01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:45.519
Why?
01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:47.760
Generational grudges.
01:02:47.920 --> 01:02:48.960
It's like fuck.
01:02:49.280 --> 01:03:00.159
Yeah, well, certain members of the diaspora have been bought off and have been, I mean, the communities, diaspora communities have been infiltrated by intel by the US intelligence services and leverage.
01:03:00.239 --> 01:03:03.440
We know this, uh, Cuba is a great example because we know that 100%.
01:03:03.840 --> 01:03:21.039
But in a book that I've read uh by uh Rahman Mazahari, uh who is works for press TV and as an Iranian man, um he details like how the Hollywood Iranians are, you know, he he he puts it much better than I can, but they're compromised, for lack of a better way to put it.
01:03:21.280 --> 01:03:21.519
Yeah.
01:03:22.719 --> 01:03:31.519
All of the Southern California people, like you have people uh who were um um yeah, whatever, I don't know.
01:03:31.599 --> 01:03:33.440
I fucking losing my train of thought.
01:03:34.400 --> 01:03:37.039
The diaspora communities in general just fucking like no good.
01:03:37.119 --> 01:03:41.119
And that's which is why I advocate for the meteor to hit all of America.
01:03:41.199 --> 01:03:44.960
And I would only beg the meteor's uh fucking good graces and say, Mr.
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:50.800
Serve God Meteor, please, you know, spare some uh indigenous people, but uh all the settlers wipe them out.
01:03:50.960 --> 01:03:51.920
Yeah, yeah.
01:03:52.239 --> 01:03:59.519
Maybe yeah, what wipe out everyone except for the uh the indigenous folks and then these seven folks that we we just uh played here.
01:03:59.679 --> 01:04:00.880
You could take the I don't care.
01:04:01.199 --> 01:04:07.760
I think yeah, no, I would definitely if you I there was a button right here where it's like sacrifice every settler for fucking like worldwide socialism.
01:04:08.159 --> 01:04:15.199
I'd hit that button immediately, knowing that I would be Yeah, I would be I would be smashing the button uh definitely.
01:04:15.360 --> 01:04:18.719
Um but I think these were in fact seven good takes.
01:04:18.880 --> 01:04:25.199
These were good examples of online leftists, non-pajority online leftists, parentheses not pejorative.
01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:25.760
Yeah.
01:04:25.840 --> 01:04:28.320
Yeah, so I mean, guys, if you're listening, follow these people.
01:04:28.480 --> 01:04:30.800
Follow these people because it uh the it's worth it.

There you go.
01:04:35.519 --> 01:04:41.440
And you don't have to read all these pesky books asking me for no, no, Daniel's in the happy.
01:04:41.519 --> 01:04:41.920
You don't know.
01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:44.880
You know how Madeline Pendleton became as smart as they are?

Glad it's Friday.
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:12.000
Yes, it's Friday, and I'm sure you have a lot of plans around the house with the old lady.
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:13.199
Are you fixing it up?
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:14.400
Are you spreading mulch?
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:19.039
I've seen I've seen little little glimpses of your house, your lovely little domicile.
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:20.079
Yeah, thank you.
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.719
Um looks very looks very cozy.
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:26.000
Very it almost looks like it's a woman-run household almost.
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:26.800
Oh, does it?
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:27.120
Yeah.
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.359
The little implementations in your yard.
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:30.640
I saw a little gnome.
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:34.399
There was like some kind of cutesy, cutesy shit in your front yard.
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.200
It seems like a charming grandma lives there or something.
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:38.799
Yeah, it it does, right?
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.000
Um, I think it looks nice.
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:42.560
Yeah.
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:44.560
Kind of uh cozy it up, you know.
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:45.759
Uh I I like it.
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:54.320
Uh like it uh taking taking pride in ownership and esteem for that hard won property you've got through your capitalistic good doings.
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:55.359
Oh yeah, yeah.
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:58.399
Yeah, I'm uh a big capitalist over here, you know.
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.799
Uh uh Well, uh now hypothetically you have the potentiality to do that.
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:08.000
Now, in fact, you could be a landlord and petite bourgeois all in one if you just rented out a room in that place, right?
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:09.280
Oh, sure, yeah.
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.519
Oh my god, the potential to do mayhem, and yet you restrain yourself.
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:14.400
Yeah, no.
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:19.760
I mean, I had a roommate, uh, you know, Joe's mustache, who's in our Discord server, was my roommate for a while.
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.120
We just split it down that down ha, you know, in half, the bills.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:27.680
And it was uh it he's a great roommate, like the best roommate ever.
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.239
Um, you know, it's he's not all up all over you.
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:40.159
You know, we we we did our own things, but we've been friends for years, so of course we we hung out, but he's you know quiet, clean, and uh yeah, it was it was it was a good time.
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.920
I'm hearing a little bit of a slight to Chairman Smokey.
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:50.560
Wouldn't Chairman Smokey, your cat, be considered the best roommate?
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:57.599
Yeah, I mean he's definitely uh when he's not you know throwing cat litter around the house and knocking stuff off tables, he's a great roommate.
00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:59.120
He doesn't clean up after himself.
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.159
I have to wipe his butt and and I gotta feed him.
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:06.480
Uh between you and me, you've speaking you've spoken of similar issues with Joe's mustache.
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.639
The kitty litter with the butt wiping.
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:09.919
Yeah, I have to wipe his butt.
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.520
Yeah, I'll be sure to show him this.
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:12.719
Yeah, okay.
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.080
Well, uh Yeah, no, I I'm not doing shit this weekend.
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:21.439
I'm gonna go to a party on Saturday and then Sunday I'll be busy with my girlfriend's family, so that'll be the weekend.
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:22.000
Very good.
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.919
Well, that's shit, but I'm not doing any shit I don't want to do, like fucking housework.
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:27.360
Yeah, good shit.
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:28.240
Yeah.
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:29.280
Yeah.
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.000
Uh okay, so uh, and also I want to give a shout out to some of our patrons.
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:34.800
Who do we have here?
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.199
We got a couple, I believe it's Fungles.

Uh, shout out to Fungles and also shout out to Wumbo, my favorite Gonzalo White, uh Shining Path, a strict adherent.
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:52.639
Uh, shout out to Wumbo uh and Fugitive, who both went from free members of the podcast to paid members of the podcast, which we love to see.
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:54.159
Yeah, we appreciate it, guys.
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:55.280
Thank you so much.
00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:19.599

They are uh available on demand from past streams that we have done.
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.280
We do them every Tuesday and Thursday.
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:43.360
If you feel like if you have fear of missing out, or you feel like life and culture and the the uh the communist movement as it stands here in America has passed you by, well, you can retroactively participate by watching some of the VODs, joining up, becoming a paid member, getting access to all those, and watching us live on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m.
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:44.879
Eastern Standard Time.
00:03:45.120 --> 00:04:04.560
But right now, Cappy, we've kicked the LeftCon episode down the low uh down the road even further so you can have more intro, um, more um laser-like analysis of each of these uh left, pervert, deviant, uh, left comm variations of uh left communism.
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.560
Uh emphasis on the deviant and pervert, uh, for sure.
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:18.639
Um but um we've kicked that one down the road a little bit so Cappy Burra can give his esteemed sage-like analysis of some of these degenerates.
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:24.399
Um and uh uh today we're going to flip it, and we've never done this.
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:25.839
This is a first of a kind.
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.560
This is online leftists, online leftists, but make it good.
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:31.040
Yeah.
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:32.560
These are good takes.
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:34.879
We didn't feel like getting angry tonight.
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.879
So I always feel like getting angry.
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:37.920
Don't lie to the people.
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:50.319
You know that getting angry was on the table, and I've and I reserve my rights to arbitrarily get angry, hypot uh like uh uh uh intellectualizing at who might get angry at a take like this.
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:57.439
I reserve my right to have angry, angry, angst-written commentary about people who I speculate might get upset about these takes.
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:58.560
You could still get angry.
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:07.040
I mean, I I I I curtailed these videos uh specifically for our leftcom listeners who have a a newfound obsession with us.
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:08.800
Uh so hopefully they're listening.
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:09.839
Yeah, they really are.
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:15.759
We make one episode about a single leftcom, and they fucking are still shitting themselves months later.
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:17.199
And it's so funny.
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:26.800
After the Flash in the Pan implosion, where all of them made themselves known and present and showed up in my live stream, we had TJ show up and uh post.
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.199
Have we had an opportunity to talk about this?
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:30.639
Uh not on the podcast, huh?
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:37.600
TJ showed up himself in my stream, who's a particularly young, impotent, weird, friendless, fucking left com.
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:50.720
He's one of those people, perennial panel attendees of the no view leftcom lives, where they're just sort of having doctrinaire loser commentary from historical losers of the past communist movements.
00:05:51.199 --> 00:06:09.519
And uh he made himself present in my chat room and then demanded evidence that the Libyan intervention uh would the the quote-unquote Libyan mass protest was in fact CIA intervention, of which point I went to the Discord and people gave me endless articles to sh to throw at him.
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:16.480
And then he I will say he did an immediate mea culpa and published a story and says, Okay, I don't know how good of evidence this is.
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.600
It was literally a New York Times article bragging about it.
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:20.879
Bragging about CIA.
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:25.839
Yeah, like literally the New York Times bragging on behalf of the CIA about their intervention and how well it went.
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.519
It's like, I don't like first of all, they lie us into wars, they don't lie us out of them.
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:30.800
Like you're like, what do you like?
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:31.279
What do you mean?
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:32.639
It's all media though.
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.040
It's not Western media recognizes it.
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:40.000
I mean, everything PBS, New York Times, Huffington Post, it all all it's well known.
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:43.519
It's well known in the West, it's well known in the global south, it's well known around the world.
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.000
We know what to everybody but Lefcoms who are teenagers.
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:47.040
Apparently, yeah.
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:47.600
Yeah.
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:53.839
So what I thought was very interesting about that is in the clip that he made a stream highlight of me.
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.319
And in that highlight, I was like, look, guys, this is why you have to be charitable to these people.
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.680
They're teenagers, they weren't alive then, and they just don't know any better.
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:06.879
And then immediately he posted it like as if it was some kind of slanders, like, oh, I really made a fool of myself.
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:11.839
It's like, I think the opposite just happened, but you don't have the requisite IQ to recognize what you just did.
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:22.480
You're you're like it like you imploded the credibility to whoever many people in your fan base saw that and then clicked the next story, which is you responding to an article stating exactly my premise.
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.240
Like, yeah, dog, this is universally understood to be a CIA intervention.
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:27.519
CIA bragged about it, dog.
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:28.160
Absolutely.
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.759
Like it like we didn't have to wait 20 years a for a foyer request for that one.
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.759
They went to the media and bragged, like, like, which is kind of rare.
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:44.160
So that was the fallout from the last thing, and it also led to other various uh communizers of less clout that aren't even worth mentioning.
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:52.480
A lot of them have been taking the exception and whining and coping and using my image as a background on their lives, but honestly, you're not even high profile enough to talk about dog.
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:58.399
Nobody you're like, honestly, like I'm not convinced that a lot of these people are even above 18.
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.600
It may be legally actionable to even bring them up.
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:02.399
So I don't know.
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:12.720
There's a lot of weird uh teenage left comms lying about their age online, and I don't think that their parents know what they're doing with those devices that their mom and dad pay for.
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:26.399
I'm not sure what they're doing online, but uh they're definitely trying to throw their weight around and do everything but actually educate themselves on the successes of Marxism-Leninism, which is what we are champions of, uh Cappy.
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.839
We we we we celebrate AES.
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:34.559
And I've been doing it so uh I also my uh TikTok got banned, Globoid TV.
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.679
So I've been uh streaming on Globoid Lover911.
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.360
You all can check me out there, and also I have an alt account, Comrade Moyd.
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:56.399
You guys can check me out there, and we also urge everybody listening to this to follow us over at uh Patreon not patreon.com, TikTok.com slash at online leftists, so we can start doing pre-Patreon streams on there.
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.440
Yeah, so um I guess we'll get to this now.
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:00.960
Uh this should be fun.
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:04.399
Okay, so onto this, we have the good takes.
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:10.320
We have the uh these are online leftists, but this time make it good, the non-lull cows.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:12.960
Yeah, um the non-lull cows.
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:13.840
Yes, okay.
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:17.600
So number one, we have uh this is Mandelin, uh Madeline.
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:19.279
I'm assuming this is Madeline Pendleton.
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:20.480
Absolutely, yes.
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:21.600
One of the best.
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:28.000
The communizer destroyer, the the true Marxist Leninist and not a sub-three communizer.
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:29.360
Yeah, absolutely.
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:31.200
Okay, let's click on this here.
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:32.159
What do we got here?
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.799
North Korea is currently in a massive era for development.
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.360
People are referring to their main capital city, Pyongyang, as Pyongyanghattan.
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.240
And they just beat their goal of building 50,000 new apartments in the city limits.
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:51.120
Now, housing in North Korea is a human right, which means all of these apartments are absolutely free.
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:53.440
They're in newly developed buildings like this.
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:56.960
And this is the only area of North Korea that's seen rapid development recently.
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:06.720
All of Pyongyang has been expanding, and they have also done expansion projects in other large cities throughout the country, as well as rural development near farmland.
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:11.919
Over 80% of North Korea is rugged mountainous terrain, and they have very limited amounts of farmland available.
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:15.600
It seems to not be a problem until the United States illegally divided Korea in half.
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.840
Cutting the north off from the south, where more food was grown in the 1990s.
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:23.840
The small amount of farmland they had left was actually wiped out in a natural disaster.
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:26.320
And it led to thousands of people starving to death.
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:34.639
North Korea is not able to easily trade to import things like food because of the massive blockade levied against them by the United States and the United Nations.
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:41.200
So part of their rural development has been building massive amounts of greenhouses to grow food in new and creative ways.
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.440
They've also developed new tourist zones.
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:50.879
When COVID lockdowns happened, they cut off all international travel and they are now starting to open their borders again so that international tourists can arrive.
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:59.919
In addition to areas designed for international tourists, they've developed more leisure infrastructure for their local residents as well, including many mountainous kind of resorts.
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:15.679
A lot of the development has been centered around their new Huasong district, which in addition to including new housing, also includes new recreational amenities like video game arcades, restaurants, and bars, with many places staying open past midnight, previously something not very common in the region.
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.879
They've also been working on revamping their metro system.
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:30.320
With how much disinformation and misinformation spreads about North Korea on the internet, I'm really interested to see what the public response is going to be to realizing that North Korea is not the place they thought it was.
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:39.919
It's a developing modern country, improving life within its borders way better than I've personally seen happen in any city in the United States I've lived in in the past 20 years.
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:57.840
Well, I can tell you how they're going to respond, Cappy, because I got hundreds of responses today with my prompt I did on my live, which is DPRK better than Israel, which brought out the Zionists and the 1990s era anti-DPRK uh Cold War commentary.
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:06.559
It brought all it brought all that out, and they're gonna just call it a degenerate worker state, red, fashion, authoritarian, that they have no freedom, no internet, no whatever.
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:11.200
And when I said no, they're like they're having an economic boon right now.
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:11.600
Yeah.
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:28.320
And after after necessarily out externally imposed austerity in the form of uh little to no trade and no arable farmland, after you know decades of belt tightening, good socialistic policy has led them into a little bit of a renaissance, and people just scoffed.
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:44.080
I said, literally look it up, Google DPRK progress, DPRK development, and you will find contemporaneous articles in the last week where even liberals are doing, like me, a couple, like, well, how did they uh get so successful so quick?
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:48.559
And people literally were like, You're being disingenuous by telling me what keywords to search.
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.240
I'm like, then just search North Korea.
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:53.039
Like, brother, I'm just telling you to go look.
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:54.639
I'm telling you to go look.
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:56.639
Like, even liberals are saying they're doing well.
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:57.519
Like, holy shit.
00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:58.080
That's true.
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:08.879
Even um the anti-DPRK uh think tank uh 38 North, which their whole thing is spreading DP uh DPRK propaganda propaganda against the DPRK.
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:16.399
I'm pretty sure they have some connections with uh you know certain intelligence agencies and what even they have articles talking about the 20 by 10 initiative.
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:22.080
I mean North Korea is going through a rapid development process right now, and it's it's awesome.
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.879
Like that you can see the results of the last couple of years of economic development.
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:28.720
So it's it's quite it's undeniable.
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:39.679
Yeah, we'll we will have these seven TikToks linked, but you really have to see it for yourself because it was like staggering how modern and how uh technologically advanced uh Pyongyang is.
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:48.159
Like uh it it's sort of it sort of defies completely the the 90s era uh DPRK that I grew up learning about.
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:51.440
I mean it was in dire straits when I was a a young man.
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:54.639
Like you all all you heard was like stories of like devastation.
00:13:54.799 --> 00:14:01.759
Of course, it was credited with crazy, autocratic, uh monarchistic, nepok tyrants, right?
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:06.960
Like it was it was all like through a lens of like Western um hysteria.
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:07.360
Yeah.
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.720
However, the the scenes that you saw from them were uh terrible.
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.440
However, they can't even do now that now.
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:15.840
Uh yeah, I I've said this before.
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:25.120
It's only been about two years of the 20 by 10 initiative, and since 2019, they started to facelift a lot of other cities out other than Pyongyang and and fix shit up.
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:34.159
But uh in the next eight years, um it'll be ten years of the twenty by ten and they would have achieved the goals that they set out to achieve.
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:44.960
The DPRK is going to be unrecognizable, and a lot of the propaganda that exists now against them is not going to be able to exist at that point because it's going to be a completely different place.
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:46.960
You're not going to be able to deny it anymore.
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:48.480
It's like when we look at China today.
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:51.279
Some people look at China, they're still stuck back in the 1960s.
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:52.639
China's not like that anymore.
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:54.639
China's not like it was in the 90s.
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:55.679
You know what I mean?
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:57.840
China China is is the now.
00:14:59.120 --> 00:14:59.840
China is the right now.
00:14:59.919 --> 00:15:01.360
They're flying taxis, Cappy.
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:04.320
Flying taxis, cyberpunk cities, you know.
00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:05.039
True.
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:06.080
But at what cost?
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:13.039
Every time the China's biggest crime is proving left comms wrong every time they open their eyes.
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:14.799
And for that, it's unforgivable.
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:26.799
How dare you make Western uh theoretical arm armchair theoreticians feel bad every time their idealistic idea of socialism is proven wrong?
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:27.600
Yeah.
00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:28.159
Yeah.
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:28.720
Yeah.
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:29.679
That's true.
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:31.039
Get fucked, Leftcoms.
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:31.759
It's exciting, yeah.
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:32.320
Get fucked.
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:33.519
It is, is okay.
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.759
So we have a win for the MLs right here.
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:37.840
Based base DPRK.
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:38.159
Okay.
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:39.600
And Madeline, good take.
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:40.240
We like that.
00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:40.559
Yes.
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:43.679
Okay, up next we have Mocha Yappuccino.
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:44.000
Yeah.
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:46.080
I like Mocha.
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:47.279
I I mo here.
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:49.360
I'm gonna uh qualify us real quick.
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:50.159
I I like Mocha.
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:50.960
I follow Mocha.
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:52.799
Mocha puts out some good videos.
00:15:53.039 --> 00:16:02.720
The one thing that that I I would say to Mocha is he should learn what certain words he uses means because sometimes he just misuses them and it kind of detracts from the point he's making.
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:11.360
Maybe he's not a theory head, that's okay, he does a good job, but you do have to be careful because people will get hung up on that word and not the actual content of what you're saying.
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:12.080
You know what I mean?
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:15.279
No, he's a very sound strategist, social media strategist.
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:15.919
Here's one thing.
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:27.679
One guy uh back in when I would make memes all the time, somebody uh somebody would uh uh somebody came to me and said, Okay, in as much as I can tell you the formula, here's the formula.
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:30.639
Make a typo in the title.
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:34.320
You will instantly get eight comments and then I'll drive up algorithm.
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:51.440
If you make a typo in your title for the the meme that you're posting on Twitter or Reddit, it'll instantly get eight comments by know it all, smarty pants, correcting your grammar mistake, and it'll it'll cause an instant algorithmic uptick in views to it.
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:52.960
And I was like, oh shit.
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:54.879
So you Mocha Yappuccino very strong.
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:56.240
That can be what Mocha's doing.
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:58.399
What he's doing here is a very strong tactic.
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:00.080
A left com would never dream of this.
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:02.879
They can't even conceive of such uh such trickery.
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:04.400
That's why they'll always fail.
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.440
All right, so let's check out what Mocha Yappuccino has to say here.
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:08.000
Yeah.
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:17.839
But Mocha, if you use capitalism or a mixed mode of production to build your productive forces, aren't the rich people just going to take power and prevent communism from ever happening?
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:20.960
That's why you seize the banks.
00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:24.000
That's why you nationalize elections.
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:30.880
That's why you make it illegal for them to stick their hands in politics, leaving the country, evade taxes.
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:34.640
That's why you nationalize telecommunications, transport.
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:40.799
That's why you see countries after revolutionary take takes power, they seize all this shit.
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:43.839
They nationalize the oil, they nationalize the mines.
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:53.440
It's so they can build the productive forces, big up their economy, but they don't run the risk of the rich taking power from the niggas who need to be in charge.
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:58.720
You even see Burkina Faso doing this, China does this, Vietnam does this.
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:00.640
That's why you do that.
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:03.359
That's the state capitalism that people are referring to.
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:12.480
It's basically countries or leaders saying, hey, capitalists, we need you for this one thing, but if you fuck with anything else, we're gonna fucking kill you, nigga.
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:15.200
True.
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:16.400
That is what they do.
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:19.519
And I think that's what people can't uh they can't reconcile.
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:26.079
I had so many people in the lives today talking about how is it a dictatorship of the proletariat if there's bourgeoisie?
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.160
I was like, show me where Mark said DOTP is when no bourgeoisie.
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:42.160
It just means that the DOP aren't enfranchised and the the dictatorship of the proletariat is meant to slowly wrench power from them and apply it at the state, which is what you see all these Marxist-Leninist projects doing.
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.440
So again, left com's debunked by actually reading Marx.
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:56.640
No, I was yeah, I would argue um that Marx would consider if the DOTP is a thing, then there are classes still, and that's why the DOTP is still a thing.
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:07.279
So, no, like yeah, um, but also yeah, what Mocha is describing here is the um he's he's basically saying keep control of the commanding heights of the economy, right?
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:11.599
Make public ownership predominant and lock down the political system.
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:12.640
You know what I mean?
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:31.920
And that's how you that's that's how you keep can because here's the thing the bourgeoisie in China that way you get you get all of the spontaneous anar anarchic capitalistic action that's hard to plan down to the nth degree, and you're just covering it in a higher ordinate fit way by firewalling in between legislation and lobbying.
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:33.680
Yeah, and erosion.
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:45.839
Lobbying's illegal in China, they have the bourgeoisie on a fucking leash, and um they cannot gain political power, they quite literally cannot function uh fully as a class.
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:50.480
And what I mean by that, so I don't get misconstrued uh when people go, but they are a class.
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:55.200
What I mean is that they cannot seize political power, they do not have political power in China.
00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:55.759
Yeah.
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:06.240
They have been they have been the state exists like uh under the Marxian dis uh uh definition and designation as a tool to oppress them, and they are oppressed.
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:06.880
Oh, hell yeah.
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:10.000
They're they're not executed, there is not this or whatever.
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:14.319
However, so there's some uh convenient disappearances disappearances here and there, which we like.
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:15.599
They do you see?
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:24.559
I never use the they execute billionaires argument to make my point that China's socialist, because I think that there's way more convincing arguments to make, but um, they do.
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:31.759
If you if you commit an economic crime in China, uh they will quite literally come in and break up your company, nationalize it, and execute you.
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:32.960
That's something they do.
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:50.640
And even like highly prolific companies, if I'm not mistaken, if you uh start getting X amount of money coming in and you start like uh having economic potentiality, right, to sort of move stuff uh via economics, they just place uh like party members on your board, don't they?
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:52.160
Like effectively like babysit.
00:20:52.559 --> 00:21:03.920
Yeah, this is something I'm currently writing an article about, but at first they uh uh rolled out democratic management, it's called, uh, in state-owned enterprises and communist party organs within state-owned enterprises.
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:16.799
But now this type of thing has extended uh to privately owned enterprises, and I believe some 70% of privately owned enterprises have communist party organs in them and some form of state uh some form of democratic management.
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:28.799
So and it it could be all, they can do that, and they are probably working towards it because according to the company law in China, um, you have to let them set up a communist party organ in an enterprise.
00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:42.640
You cannot say no to that, whether you're if we're talking about private property, uh uh cooperative, uh pu public, it all any any functioning enterprise in China has to allow that to happen if the party wants it to happen.
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:58.480
So this isn't like a sort of murky uh sort of corporal fascist uh liaison like people were I saw people in bad faith trying to say that basically uh China is doing corporal fascism akin to Dang was like Mussolini.
00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:17.359
I'm like, that's not even that's What a perverse way to like you like why not they don't look at Palantir and think that, but uh instead babysitters being placed there to prevent chicanery is being is being touted as some sort of corporal fascist Italian fascist mechanism.
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:34.640
It's just like fucking with these people are just kind of deranged and they just want they want to wish this into being a degenerate worker state capitalist system so bad that they're willing to bend reality to their will definitionally, which is by definition a left comment's throughput through all of them.
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:38.720
Bending reality as it exists to what they want it to be definitionally.
00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:39.359
Sure.
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:41.759
Yeah, no, uh, that's a ridiculous claim.
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:51.839
Anybody who's not only read about Mussolini, but who's read Mussolini and who understands what happened in Italy uh under the fascist rule would laugh at that.
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:54.400
That's an insane thing to to suggest.
00:22:54.559 --> 00:23:02.000
I'm not even going to uh I wouldn't even uh uh like address that in my chat because it's so fucking stupid.
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:04.640
And it's trivializing fascism, which we shouldn't do.
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:14.079
Now do they see so under uh under Mussolini there was also some um uh some collectivization that had happened was broken up, right?
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:25.599
And I've I was waiting for that to drop, but they never they're not very good at making arguments when they're anti-China, but I was waiting to see something about like some worker strikes are forbidden, right?
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:26.480
How does that work?
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:28.960
How does labor organizing work in China?
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:32.640
Because I don't I do know it doesn't work like the way it would here, yeah.
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:39.200
So um the trade unions uh and stuff like that um function throughout the country.
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:47.839
People do go on strike and stuff like that and protest, and and generally, from what I've read, their their uh requests do get answered, right?
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:50.559
It's taken a hell of a lot more serious than it is here.
00:23:50.799 --> 00:24:02.160
With that said, some independent protests, especially ones that are funded through NGOs, which is a pretty popular thing in China for Western NGOs to fund movements, uh, they are deemed illegal.
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:19.039
Um but um like who am I to even criticize that when uh we're we're literally uh here in the United States right now, uh we are straight kidnapping protesters off the street from outside the front of uh uh you know Delaney Hall fucking concentration.
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:20.480
Yeah, Delaney Hall, for instance.
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:38.480
I mean, you know, as someone from New Jersey and and and as someone who knows people who were at that and in eating fucking pepper balls and and um tear gas all night, um yeah, I'm it's I'm not um you know, I like it it's you China's not doing that.
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:46.960
You're not that sympathetic to the people using this as a uh as a fulcrum to levy anti-Chinese rhetoric.
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:48.480
No, here's the thing.
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:59.519
Like I always say, when I go outside, if my if my lawn's got a bunch of weeds and it needs to be be mowed, I'm not gonna look over at my neighbor's lawn and criticize them for their weeds and how tall their grass is.
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:03.039
I'm gonna go get my lawn mower and I'm gonna mow my own fucking lawn.
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:04.240
True.
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:05.680
Uh I don't have a lawn.
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:14.000
Privileged, uh petite bourgeois, red army capo barra with all the potentiality of being a landlord, lording his lawn over his own.
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:16.720
My front lawn is like six feet, dude.
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:18.240
It's not that much in the six.
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:21.599
Now you're lawnmogging me still.
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:24.000
Like humble flex.
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:27.839
You live out there in the fucking big iron on his hip land.
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:28.880
Do you know what I mean?
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:30.559
Okay, an apartment.
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:36.960
Well, there isn't like a not a lot of nice cultivated lawns here at the property, but that's neither here nor there.
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:40.480
Uh you know, and you know we get that fucking leaf blowers all the time.
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:42.319
I swear to god, like three times a fucking week.
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:47.920
I don't know what they're doing, but uh, you should be lucky you have such a teeny and emasculine lawn.
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:49.279
You're actually lucky.
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:49.839
Okay.
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:50.400
Yeah, I think.
00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:53.440
So this next yeah, Socialista Champagne.
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:55.759
Now I've been loving their takes recently.
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:55.920
Yeah.
00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:57.680
Socialista Champagne.
00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:59.759
Uh what yeah, she's great.
00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:00.079
All right.
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:01.359
So here's another good take.
00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:04.480
Uh uh uh cultivated, not cultivated.
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:10.799
Here is another take, uh a good take aggregated by Red Army Capabarra from Socialista Champagne.
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:15.119
Why are people sympathetic to Russia in the Russia-Ukraine war?
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:17.279
I'll break it down without sugarcoating.
00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:19.359
So if you like sugarcoats, keep scrolling.
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:29.680
Russia has recognized Palestine unwaveringly since 1988, recognizes East Jerusalem as its capital, and hosts a Palestinian embassy in Moscow.
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:30.880
Ukraine does not.
00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:35.200
Many of us don't automatically prioritize European lives over African ones.
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:41.039
Africa has long been stripped of its wealth and autonomy and faced genocide after genocide to no end in sight.
00:26:41.279 --> 00:27:03.680
Russia has historically supported African sovereignty from helping end apartheid in South Africa to aiding decolonization in multiple former European colonies in Africa, and today Russia continues to offer military and political support to the Sahel states resisting French dominance, showing a consistent track record of supporting African self-determination without recolonizing them in return.
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:07.279
Europe, in contrast, has mostly undermined African independence.
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:10.079
NATO's expansion eastward is a glaring double standard.
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:14.480
The Warsaw Pact ended decades ago, and yet NATO didn't disband.
00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:16.480
It grew closer to Russia's borders.
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:22.319
Imagine if Russia had military alliances with missiles that could reach New York all over Latin America.
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:27.680
During the Cold War, the US threatened nuclear war over Soviet missiles in Cuba just for a few days.
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:31.920
Yet NATO's creeping presence near Russia is tolerated as defensive.
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:34.240
NATO is far from a neutral alliance.
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:46.240
It operates as the imperial arm of the US military power, shaping pipelines, resource dominance, and trade routes globally, as seen in Libya, Iraq, and several former colonies in Africa resisting Europeans.
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:53.440
It is absolutely a threat to your markets to have NATO pull up on your borders, especially when you're deliberately not allowed to join their alliance.
00:27:53.839 --> 00:28:02.799
In twenty thirteen, Ukraine, the key transit route for Russian gas to Europe, signed$10 billion deals with US energy companies, signaling a pivot away from Russia.
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:06.319
EU consumers benefit more from cheaper Russian gas nearby.
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:09.200
Hostile relations with Russia make no economic sense.
00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:14.400
Russia is the most resource-rich country and a net exporter, meaning they export more than they import.
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:16.640
Antagonizing them hurts European trades.
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:20.000
Russia's pipelines have been attacked in ways that harm Europe.
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:23.119
Nord Stream in 2022, roots in Slovakia and Hungary.
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:27.519
Many see this as reckless, especially from a non-EU state like Ukraine.
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:32.640
Russia maintains sovereignty and national industries rather than neoliberalizing everything like the EU.
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:46.559
Its government has started to actively target oligarchs now and nationalize strategic sectors more, demonstrating more independence and long-term over short-sighted strategy like we see in the EU, which is going to harm us when the US finally folds, which it will.
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:54.079
After Crimea's annexation in 2014, some regions had pro-Russian separatists as Eastern Ukraine has a large ethnic Russian population.
00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:59.759
The lands Russia currently controls were part of Russia until recently, when they were given to Ukraine during USSR.
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:02.240
Okay, abrupt stop there, but true.
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:04.880
And it's so funny when I'm listening to this.
00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:09.359
Why is it that left comms specifically and liberals generally?
00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:13.119
I understand why liberals have general anti-Russia uh derangement.
00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:28.400
It was a key figure in electoral conspiracy theories, especially lobbied by the Democrats, talking about vote tampering, and there was other stuff like Reality Winner was in fact incarcerated for exposing that there was key fisher uh was it a key fishing?
00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:29.039
What the hell?
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:43.119
Um uh basically email spoofing attacks on some uh election uh uh commissions and like just going over like voter rolls for like county clerks and stuff like that.
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:52.480
It was kind of like okay, so but that is zero sum game, probably uh the type of things that all of the major world powers kind of do to each other.
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:54.480
I'm expecting China go ahead.
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:58.480
We're talking about a handful of Russian trolls on the internet.
00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:03.440
You know, and people are like Putin tried to no Putin didn't do shit.
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:06.640
Some fucking Russian trolls on the internet did some shit.
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:10.480
That's a crazy thing to be like, well, Putin Putin must have directed it.
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:21.759
Putin was trying to fuck up our no like everything everything that happens vis-a-vis hacking via Russia is all of a sudden magically transformed into an FSB op.
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:25.519
Yeah, no, it's it's yeah, it's absolutely goofy.
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:36.319
Um which I don't I don't know enough to say about the origination of that, but I understand that did that and the CrowdStrike stuff, even though that was Ukraine, a lot of Russian conspiracism, and then there was also the Facebook stuff.
00:30:36.400 --> 00:31:00.799
So I understand why liberals do it, but why do left comms who don't care about the material conditions of people, especially since all of them seem to be Western European Brit Bongers, Angloids, and uh French people and all that, why do they not care about the worse outcomes that they get economically with a superpower like Russia being such an apt and ready um uh source of energy?
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:11.519
Why are they suffering through frigid European winters to to serve the uh United States purposes which aren't aligned with their interests?
00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:23.920
Why are they so ready to ignore geopolitical realities and the material uh the material conditions of the people in Europe to serve the United States imperial stuff?
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:29.599
And why are they aligning with State Department rhetoric about Russia?
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:30.000
Yeah.
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:42.640
Just because they are they they the used so Russia's crime is that it used to be the USSR, which they take exact uh contention with, and thus Russia is is a bad actor because Stalin?
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:48.480
Like, are they holding a historical grudge and which makes them blind to the geopolitical realities of today?
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:49.279
What's going on?
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:52.240
The issue for them is Russia is a capitalist state.
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:52.640
It is.
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:54.160
No one no one disagrees with that.
00:31:54.319 --> 00:31:56.160
Marxist-Leninists don't disagree with that.
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:56.640
It is.
00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:00.559
However, I Vladimir Putin is a secret Bukharonite.
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:21.599
Vladimir Putin is a fucking avowed communist, and he's part of the KGB, and the KGB still exists, and he's doing a log longitudinal secret undercover op, and he is strategically uh retreating into uh Bukharonite positions and making a public show of a retreat into capitalism, but this the USSR will rise again.
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:23.119
The USSR will rise again.
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:24.720
That would be nice if it were true.
00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:27.599
I don't think it is, but this is this is my take on it.
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:32.880
And and and this, you know, again, uh I don't think uh there's a lot of blind spots for Americans.
00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:35.680
And post-socialism is one of those.
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:37.200
There that shouldn't be a thing.
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:46.559
Post-socialism was not thought that like that what what do you mean post-socialism is supposed to be communism, you know, a fully developed communism.
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:55.839
So when we talk about a post-socialist society, what we have to consider is that these are not the same as Western bourgeois democracies.
00:32:56.000 --> 00:33:02.880
Now, this isn't to say that they're socialist, however, the USSR is an inseparable part of the history of modern Russia.
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:15.039
Whether we talk about politics, their infrastructure, their social system, the culture, so on and so forth, um the USSR is embedded in that still.
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:18.160
And so we see very peculiar things.
00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:28.480
Um now I would argue that a lot of the socialistic type policies we've seen Putin enact uh against oligarchs and this, that, the other thing.
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:44.640
I think that that has more to do less to do with him being actual right, because I don't think Putin's a communist, but what I do think is that you cannot avoid living in the global system of imperialism, being a victim of imperialism, you cannot avoid the trend of socialism.
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:47.599
You cannot avoid doing socialistic things.
00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:50.960
It's an objective trend of human development.
00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:52.720
It's almost a trait of campus.
00:33:52.960 --> 00:34:03.839
And somebody was saying, I understand your positions because from a campus perspective, I'm like, no, the reason why these people are seen as anti-US or whatever is because they're doing things a lot.
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:21.519
When you do things and when the the main capitalistic uh imperial hegemon, when the imperial hegemon is capitalistic, the things that you do to prevent yourself from exploitation by them look like socialism because socialism itself was a reaction to capitalism.
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:22.639
So it's not in one thing.
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:27.760
So people are saying, oh, you're just anti-cam uh, you're uh you're uh anti-American campus, and that's why you support DPRK.
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:33.760
I'm like, the reason the US is against DPRK is because they're fucking run by MLs.
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:35.519
They're doing socialist things.
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:46.960
That's why the US hates them and they continue to do stuff by taking their liberated table off the buffet-style resource extraction that the US demands, and that's why they're persona non grot on pariah estate.
00:34:47.360 --> 00:34:53.760
So the things that you do to shore up from Western aggression are the same things that you would do socialistically, anyways.
00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:56.960
You're taking food away from capitalists.
00:34:57.199 --> 00:34:58.239
That's what you're doing.
00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:01.599
I I'll I'll say this, and and the left comms can clip it.
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:08.239
I've said this a whole bunch, uh, so uh please clip it and post it all over TikTok and call me Lasalian or whatever you want.
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:15.440
But uh um Vladimir Putin, who is not a communist, is a better communist than any one of these left comms.
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:22.400
Uh when when Vladimir Putin gave jets to the Bolivarian Revolution to defend themselves against US imperialism, it was fucking based.
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:32.719
When Vladimir uh Putin uh builds uh a good healthy relationship with North Korea and trades with them, them being one of the most sanctioned countries in the world, that's a good fucking thing.
00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:33.360
We like that.
00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:38.559
When Vladimir Putin helps out uh the Burkinabe people, we fucking like that.
00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:46.639
When when Vladimir Putin has a good relationship with Cuba and and signs military contracts with Cuba, we fucking like that.
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:55.039
Vladimir Putin has done more for the international communist movement in the modern day than any one of these left comms ever have, and he's not even a communist.
00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:57.360
And they have no plans of doing anything.
00:35:57.679 --> 00:35:58.559
Point blank period.
00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:01.519
I was asking them today, what does your form of organization look like?
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:02.320
How do you do it?
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:02.960
And they can't.
00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:13.280
They punt the they punt the ball into some near hypothetical future of where the capitalist social capitalist social relation is already gone, and then they can do their dictatorship.
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:17.840
It's like pure hypothetical, tautological circle jerk bullshit.
00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:36.719
Because they are literally ideologically rendering themselves impotent by their lack of organization, their refusal to partake in statism, which they could denote as liberal for some reason, which is weird because Marx advocated for a republic, which the dictatorship they're literally anti-Marxian fucking fraudsters.
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:39.280
And you have to wonder what the point is after a certain point.
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:40.239
You know what I mean?
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:53.199
Do you think that these left comms, especially the ones right now, furious, red faced, scrunched brow, fucking beady eyes, their fists clenched, uh uh gnashing their teeth and twisting their hands up, listening to this right now?
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:58.880
Do you think any of these people will come to have a come to Jesus moment and start to accept any of these ML projects?
00:36:59.280 --> 00:36:59.679
Sure.
00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:04.000
Uh I I I think uh a lot of them are young uh and they may.
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:14.480
However, uh being as it uh as it is that uh most of that these people are from Western countries, you can never be too sure, especially for the ones in America.
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:18.800
Americans are exceptionally um, how could I put it nicely?
00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:25.280
Ignorant Ugly, stupid, oh okay, ignorant and closed-minded, very narrow.
00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:26.400
You know what I mean?
00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:32.480
Um so I And they have not unpacked the multitudes, they don't even have touch points with reality.
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:51.440
What they are doing is tilting at uh cartoonishly evil windmills that have been built up in their head about these autocratic, evil, excessive, uh fail, degenerate worker states and whatever that they that corresponds to uh CIA aligned think tanks uh descriptions of these projects.
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:53.760
Yeah, well, you know, it's not shocking.
00:37:53.920 --> 00:38:06.079
It's not shocking considering that the new left um in at least in the US, I'm not sure about other places, it popped up back in the 60s and 70s, but uh it the new left here was infiltrated by the CIA.
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:20.000
Yeah, so we were uh contemplating doing an episode about that about the Russian Institute at Columbia and Western Marxism and how much of it was de jure like a CIA op uh through like the Ford Foundation and other stuff.
00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:21.519
We were contemplating doing that.
00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:23.039
Uh there's that one book.
00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:24.559
We should do an episode on that.
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:25.519
I think that's very interesting.
00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:30.000
Okay, this next one here, Raul Duke.
00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:32.960
Let's try to power through neuron number four here.
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:40.800
Understand that the Western capitalist governments are terrified of China and their Belt and Road initiative.
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:44.239
And it's going to fundamentally break capitalism.
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:54.639
Capitalism requires an exploited group of countries where you extract resources from, and China's gonna make it impossible for the West to continue doing it.
00:38:54.880 --> 00:39:20.239
If you read Walter Rodney's How the West Underdeveloped Africa, he talks about how Europe and the United States trapped Africa into a state of being permanently underdeveloped, offering them loans to develop their country, allegedly, but really it was just enough so that they could extract resources out of them, develop the mines, build some roads so they can cart the stuff out and some airports, pay off the ruling class.
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:22.639
And the loans were deliberately exploitative.
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:25.599
It traps them in a cycle of debt they'll never be able to pay off.
00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:29.599
If they don't pay it back, the US will invade them.
00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:37.760
They end up spending significantly more of their money on debt repayment to the West than actually building up their education system or manufacturing capability.
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:42.960
So it traps them in a cycle of debt they're never able to get out, and that is great for the West.
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:51.840
Now China's come in and they're saying, we actually want to help you develop your education system and your manufacturing capability.
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:56.000
We want a trading partner, not a country to exploit.
00:39:56.480 --> 00:39:57.920
Uh so we'll help you.
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:00.000
And if you like us, let's do business.
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:04.320
Once these countries are actually developed, Pandora's box is open.
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:05.199
There's no going back.
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:09.760
The US and the West can no longer exploit these countries in the way they've been doing.
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:13.119
This is going to break capitalism fundamentally.
00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:20.000
That's why they're spreading so much lies and trying to convince you that it's imperialism, same as they've been doing.
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:27.840
If it's not clear from everything else, that we are witnessing the death throes of capitalism and they are lashing out.
00:40:28.320 --> 00:40:30.400
This is the face of late-stage capitalism.
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:40.400
Yes, left comms are the face of late-stage capitalism and its death throes, equivocating and talking about social imperialism, debt trap financing.
00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:44.400
It was so funny because people lobby that levy that claim against China.
00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:52.719
The WEF and the IEF and the World Bank.
00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:56.719
Uh um, and they're like, No, I'm talking about China doing it.
00:40:56.800 --> 00:41:03.199
They're doing debt trap funding via their Belt and Road to do social imperialism in China.
00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:09.599
It's like, brother, why are you silent on the US actually doing that and equivocating and lying about China doing it?
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:11.599
But they they can't help it, Cappy.
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:12.719
No, I know.
00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:21.440
The the um Belt and Road initiative is the beginning of the world, the the greatest anti-colonialist project, anti-imperialist project that the world has ever seen.
00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:26.000
This is a huge part of the thing that Chinese talk about, the a shared future for mankind.
00:41:26.079 --> 00:41:30.800
That's what they want to be build, a a community and a shared future for mankind.
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:33.119
And I think that that sounds fucking great.
00:41:33.760 --> 00:42:07.440
Yeah, and I do I don't even think necessarily that China has to be while while there's a default social relation of capitalism in the world, while that is the status quo, even if there was self-interest being perpetuated on the behalf of Chinese, you do get access to rare rare earth minerals to uh to as a requisite resource for their uh productive uh prolificness, the the uh the production powerhouse that's going on in China now.
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:13.679
I think all things being equal, they are doing non-asymmetrical deals that genuinely benefit people.
00:42:13.840 --> 00:42:33.679
The conditions are better in those Chinese funded um uh projects, they have better outcomes for the people, the conditions are better for the workers, the extraction policies are better, cleaner, they've gotten rid of artisan uh mining, they they're opting for automation, they have banned child labor.
00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:42.639
Everything is better, and the money, which is often forgiven at a higher rate than the West forgave them, comes with no predatory strings.
00:42:43.039 --> 00:43:04.239
Uh classically, the China the capitalists would trap you by g making strings attached to loans, which sort of necessitated that you wouldn't nationalize stuff and in fact you would give access to uh what they considered good arbiters, which is Western Western uh corporations, to be able to go in there and get rights for extraction and stuff like that.
00:43:04.719 --> 00:43:07.039
IMF forces restructuring on people.
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:08.239
Uh China doesn't do that.
00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:12.159
And like you said, they forgive a lot of loans, and also a lot of people don't know this.
00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:14.000
China loses out in a lot of deals.
00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:16.320
China gives more than they get from the deals.
00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:19.360
So um, yeah, it's it's incorrect.
00:43:19.440 --> 00:43:26.000
Uh the the imperialism claim against China is something that you could debate on so many levels, and it it's nonsensical.
00:43:26.159 --> 00:43:32.400
But I think um maybe these people will come to when they start to see uh the new world that is being born.
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:39.119
But we see the we see DPRK blooming right now, and they're still even like uh liberals and left comms alike.
00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:40.000
What's the difference?
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:47.440
Are both levying degenerate worker states, privation, autocracy, monarchy, fucking 1990s starvation.
00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:50.159
It's like, bro, look at Pyongyang right now, dog.
00:43:50.400 --> 00:43:57.039
That old picture, that doctored photo of uh DPRK being dark at night, that's brother, that doesn't work anymore.
00:43:57.119 --> 00:43:59.039
Just take a take a picture during the day, homie.
00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:03.599
Like, there's fucking Fucking gigantic neo-futuristic skyscrapers going on.
00:44:03.840 --> 00:44:05.440
And they give them away to people for free.
00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:07.519
You can just live in those apartments.
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:08.559
Like, holy shit.
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:10.400
They're like, no, the 90s.
00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:10.719
Yeah.
00:44:10.960 --> 00:44:11.760
No, but the 90s.
00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:24.000
So I think that these people are going to be able to just close their eyes and criticize Africa and their relation, the better, more fruitful relationship that they have with China because they're working backwards from a conclusion that they want to have.
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:25.280
Absolutely, yeah.
00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:25.599
Yep.
00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:28.239
And they're ugly and stinky, and girls don't like them.
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:30.320
Okay.
00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:33.199
So yes, W China, good job.
00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:36.159
Okay, now right now we have Diraffe Dodger, Khalil.
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:37.360
Yeah, I like Khalil.
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:40.320
Yeah, I haven't I haven't been seeing a lot of him on my FYP.
00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:42.000
Has he been quiet as of late?
00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:42.559
I don't know.
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:45.440
Man, what have he's been up to?
00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:47.280
Yeah, I like a lot of his videos.
00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:50.000
Yeah, alright, let's check out Khalil here.
00:44:50.400 --> 00:45:03.280
Kenop also banning homosexuality is objectively a bad thing, but the issue arises when you realize that Americans and people of the West do not view sovereignty as a country's right to self-determine, and instead they view it as a country's right to self-determine in a way that they see acceptable.
00:45:03.440 --> 00:45:07.199
The reality is a country's sovereignty also includes the right for them to make mistakes.
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:10.960
First of all, you're acting as though he just banned homosexuality in West Hollywood.
00:45:11.119 --> 00:45:16.800
Burkina Faso is a Muslim-majority country where nearly 90% of the people there subscribe to either Islam or Christianity.
00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:20.159
The only reason that shit passed is because homophobia is not unpopular there.
00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:29.679
The only reason in America we have the liberal surface level reform that we see today, which leaves LGBTQIA plus people on the chopping block every four years, is because we've had hundreds of years to figure that out.
00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:34.400
Burkina Faso has only been free of direct Eurocolonial influence for less than four years.
00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:39.679
If that is a deal breaker for you supporting a people's revolution, then news splash, you wouldn't have supported the Cuban Revolution either.
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:44.400
Because Fidel Castro was doubling down on his country's already existing homophobia during his revolution.
00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:48.159
Because like Burkina Faso, they were in the process of finding their country's cultural identity.
00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:52.000
Y'all be running around giving props to the Houthis in Yemen for standing up for Palestine.
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:56.400
Meanwhile, their laws on gay people are objectively worse than the ones in Burkina Faso.
00:45:56.480 --> 00:46:03.760
The difference between Yemen and Cuba though is that Cuba has had time to evolve as a country, which eventually led to them having protections for gay people in their country.
00:46:03.920 --> 00:46:08.960
Yemen didn't get independence from the British until 1967, and the West has been trying to destabilize them since.
00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:16.320
And it is nearly impossible to advocate for gay people's rights in any capacity if you are constantly under the threat of bombardment, famine, and destabilization.
00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:21.039
The patriarchy and by extension homophobia has been deeply ingrained into the society of the globe.
00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:22.719
No country is bigger than the program.
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:26.079
In order to secure those rights for people, they have to go through the proper steps.
00:46:26.159 --> 00:46:28.159
And those steps happen internally over time.
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:33.920
That being said, do I support Bikina Faso, the Houthis, Fidel Castro because they are bastions of gay rights?
00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:34.239
No.
00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:38.559
I support them because I realize the anti-colonial movement is the first step to achieving gay rights.
00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:42.239
Anticolonial movement is the first step to achieving any rights for marginalized people.
00:46:42.400 --> 00:46:44.880
And those things happen internally on their own timeline.
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:46.000
And here's a hot take.
00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:53.119
I feel like Americans will struggle with finding their own liberation because we've been so programmed to believe that change comes from external forces.
00:46:53.280 --> 00:47:00.239
We have been so programmed by America's morality-backed foreign intervention style that we are sitting around waiting for someone to come here and save us.
00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:04.639
We do not realize that the only people responsible for upholding our rights is Americans ourselves.
00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:06.079
Just like Burkina Faso.
00:47:06.159 --> 00:47:06.880
Just like Cuba.
00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:11.920
And let me remind you that it only took 20 years of internal struggle to actually secure the rights of gay people.
00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:13.519
And Fidel Castro apologize.
00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:20.480
Ibrahim Traora is a young man who is actively evolving as a leader, and Burkina Faso is a young nation that is actively evolving as a country.
00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:23.280
Now I need to stop trying to put these motherfuckers on the Western timeline.
00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:25.039
They will figure those issues out for themselves.
00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:26.880
And I will support them every step of the way.
00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:28.159
Agree, good take.
00:47:28.239 --> 00:47:42.800
And I also want to say that classically, uh queer college groups have been vectors of CIA interventionism, and I I predict that is why Abraham Treori specifically banned like public displays of homosexuality.
00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:44.880
This isn't make gay people illegal.
00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:57.679
What they banned effectively, what the law was, if I'm not mistaken, was public displays and like protests surrounding around homosexuality, which have been classically been vectors for CIA interventionism, which is what they do.
00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:07.760
They pick a cause that looks good on the surface, uh, give them training resources, whatever, and then they try to agitate larger anti-state protests, which they hope catch on.
00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:10.320
Yeah, in order to do regime change.
00:48:10.559 --> 00:48:10.719
Right.
00:48:10.960 --> 00:48:11.920
It's a Trojan horse.
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:16.000
Because the US doesn't care about gay people or trans people, just so we're clear.
00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:17.519
Yeah, they do not.
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:18.639
Democrats don't either.
00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:21.760
I I was gonna say this too.
00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:36.480
I think a lot of a lot of the people who are are detractors of ours who we've seen talk about this issue, um uh Spontex they well, not him, because he's older, but you and I come from a time when gay people here could not get married.
00:48:36.960 --> 00:48:38.239
That was not a legal thing.
00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:39.360
Yeah, the the it was.
00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:42.719
Yeah.
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:50.559
The one minor exception we used to, you know, uh as kids, uh, we would talk uh, you know, you could go to Vegas, I guess, and and get a what was it called?
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:52.159
Uh unionship or whatever.
00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:53.039
Something like that.
00:48:53.519 --> 00:49:00.880
Yeah, but like there, you know, uh growing up I I knew um I had friends who had uh you know domestic partnership or something?
00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:01.920
Yeah, that's what it was.
00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:06.559
I I had friends though who had gay parents that couldn't get married, and that was something that we had talked about.
00:49:06.719 --> 00:49:09.440
And that you know, back then I never even understood it.
00:49:09.679 --> 00:49:11.519
But we come from a time where it wasn't normal.
00:49:11.679 --> 00:49:12.559
That wasn't normal.
00:49:12.800 --> 00:49:18.639
Trans people, I I I that wasn't even a uh a a thought on people's minds.
00:49:18.960 --> 00:49:22.000
This was a very homophobic anti-LGBTQ place.
00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:30.159
During my time in in elementary school, junior high, and high school, there was no openly gay class might uh classmates of mine.
00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:32.880
The Zoomers live in a fundamentally different world.
00:49:33.119 --> 00:49:34.639
Uh completely different.
00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:35.280
Yeah.
00:49:35.519 --> 00:49:47.280
So that's you know, it it it's it what's crazy to me is that you know, in my lifetime, this was an extremely hostile place, and then you know, now it's gotten a little bit better.
00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:49.119
It's still not all that better, let's be honest.
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:52.719
Trans people are systematically fucking oppressed here.
00:49:52.800 --> 00:50:04.320
Uh I think I saw a stat something that like black people are seven times more likely to get arrested, harassed by the cops, uh arrested for a weird thing, and then black trans women specifically are seven times more likely than that.
00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:10.079
So a black trans woman is like forty times 49 times more likely to get harassed by cops than you or me.
00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:14.880
Yeah, black trans women are the most oppressed people in American society by far.
00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:17.840
And um And Spontex isn't doing anything about it.
00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:36.000
No, no, but for us to criticize somebody else when we just started to get our shit together a little bit over the last decade or two, is you know what I'm like again, we got to clean up our own mess before we start criticizing the mess someone else made over there on a different table, you know?
00:50:36.239 --> 00:50:53.840
Yeah, and it shows how superficial the analysis is for especially a lot of these communizers, because this is the time I first ran a foul of uh uh Spontex was literally about Burkina Faso, where he wanted to dig his commentary was evil regime, Abraham Troyore, evil homophobe.
00:50:54.000 --> 00:50:57.760
And they were doing they can't be decolonizing because he's a homophobe.
00:50:57.920 --> 00:50:58.559
And I was like, What?
00:50:58.719 --> 00:50:59.920
They kicked the French out.
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:03.840
He's like, How are they decolonizing if they're doing these backward things?
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:05.039
How could how could they be?
00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:08.239
I'm like, what are do you one plus one equal three to you with that?
00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:14.159
No, kicking nationalizing production and kicking the French out is decolonizing and doing socialist things, like what are you talking?
00:51:14.400 --> 00:51:15.440
It's definitely a net gain.
00:51:15.519 --> 00:51:17.440
He's like, What about the what about the gay people?
00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:21.039
I was like, then I was bringing he like literally banned me and called me a homophobe.
00:51:21.119 --> 00:51:37.920
I'm like, brother, just because we're not single issue voters like you, stochastically calling for regime change because you didn't like one policy of a young African nation, like a holy fucking Western liberal take.
00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:49.840
Like K Khalil uh mentioned, um, the the the uh rights of gay people and trans people, they they will come to these societies through internal struggles as they develop.
00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:58.960
That type of thing comes with development, and we've seen it in all the existing socialist states, Cuba being the best example, China being a pretty good example now, Vietnam being a pretty good example.
00:51:59.119 --> 00:52:00.400
They still have a way to go.
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:04.480
Uh, they're not quite to the Cuba is fucking ahead of the world on that.
00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:08.400
Their family code is the most progressive family code in the world at the current time.
00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:29.360
And I can I say it's very peculiar for for people who are nominally communists, communizers, uh Marxist or otherwise, to think that anti-gay uh discrimination is anywhere near as oppressive as the economic oppression that was done under France, under French colonialism.
00:52:29.599 --> 00:52:53.199
The the gay people the gay Burkina people are better suited by large expansive socialist programs and development and kicking out colonizers than they are bothered or disenfranchised by not being able to kiss in public or something, which is probably a momentary stopgap to stop Western uh vectors of agitation.
00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:55.840
Yeah, no, I I I agree.
00:52:56.000 --> 00:53:14.079
And I think that even if it if that's not the case and it was a it's a law that they made uh for other reasons, it's a mistake, and I have faith that the Burkinabe people will uh struggle against that and and as they develop they will become more progressive because that's that's what economic economic development happens first, right?
00:53:14.239 --> 00:53:22.159
You're the the ideas you have, the the the uh superstructure develops you know as the substructure does.
00:53:22.320 --> 00:53:27.920
It's not to say the superstructure doesn't have an effect on the substructure, but the the substructure is dominant.
00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:35.599
And so with economic development, the views and the politics and and the so on and so forth, uh those types of aspects will also develop.
00:53:35.760 --> 00:53:48.320
So uh to just you know reject uh the burg the the AES, uh, you know, the Alliance of Sahel States and the revolutions going on in those countries uh for such a reason is uh absurd to me.
00:53:48.480 --> 00:54:03.280
Um, you know, again it makes sense if you're a Brit Bonger fucking communizer, though, who's a one-issue Andy uh just calling for stochastic regime change because you see it as a potentiality for more beloved CIA intervention like him and TJ love so much.
00:54:03.519 --> 00:54:08.320
Uh okay, we we gotta move on here, but also shout out to all the queer Berk Birkenabby people out there.
00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:09.119
Absolutely.
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:11.360
I'm sorry that happened.
00:54:11.519 --> 00:54:14.239
Uh okay, and let's go over your raise the rate.
00:54:14.559 --> 00:54:21.599
If you think that China isn't socialist, then tell me, why does the state own the means of production instead of a minority of wealthy parasites?
00:54:21.840 --> 00:54:27.360
Energy, heavy industry, transport, telecoms, finance, banks, all owned by the People's Vanguard?
00:54:27.679 --> 00:54:36.719
And why do over ninety percent of households own their own home, with land being publicly or collectively owned instead of corporations and landlords extracting rent forever?
00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:55.440
And why does China have consultative democracy where ordinary people not only vote for local representatives, but can communicate their grievances to the working class delegates that sit in the National People's Congress and shape national policy instead of just voting every few years and choosing between two corporate-backed pre-approved candidates?
00:54:55.760 --> 00:55:04.159
And why does China have a planned socialist economy that creatively leverages markets towards development that benefits the whole of Chinese society?
00:55:04.400 --> 00:55:09.679
Where the state sets the direction for 14 key sectors instead of letting capital run rampant?
00:55:10.079 --> 00:55:19.280
And why do they socialize surplus, using profits for social goals like infrastructure, RD, and welfare instead of lining the pockets of the parasitic elites?
00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:38.000
And why, if they aren't socialists, are communist party cells placed within private firms to ensure capital serves national developmental goals, where billionaires can face execution for corruption, where capital does not go above political authority and is used as a tool for the working class rather than a domination of the working class?
00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:50.159
And how the hell does China consistently increase their GDP by 5% each year without privatizing their entire economy and without cutting any social supports, but instead increasingly improving upon them?
00:55:50.480 --> 00:55:55.039
And if they aren't socialist, why do they practice anti-imperialism and internationalism?
00:55:55.280 --> 00:56:07.360
By building economic relationships without occupations, sanctions, military bases, or IMF style conditionality, they give access to their advanced technologies, so nations have the tools to bypass Western monopolies.
00:56:07.840 --> 00:56:18.320
We have to remember China is a society that is emerging from feudal and semi-colonial conditions, as Marx put it, stamped with the birthmarks of the old society from whose womb it emerges.
00:56:18.559 --> 00:56:23.679
You can't just jump to the higher phases of socialism and communism without the material basis for it.
00:56:23.840 --> 00:56:25.519
You can't liberate people off air.
00:56:25.679 --> 00:56:39.840
You need food, technology, infrastructure, especially when one fifth of humanity lives in your country, where your starting point was extreme poverty, where the world around you is dominated by capitalism, and when you're faced with the constant threat of US encirclement and imperialism.
00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:46.239
And despite tremendous early socialist achievements in the Mao era, China was still overwhelmingly rural and poor.
00:56:46.400 --> 00:56:59.519
Five hundred million people survived on less than a dollar a day, and now through decades of revolutionary construction, eight hundred and fifty million lifted out of poverty, China is a global superpower and a force for global peace as it weakens US hegemony.
00:56:59.679 --> 00:57:02.800
If all of this isn't socialism, you tell me what is.
00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:04.960
Fucking base take.
00:57:05.039 --> 00:57:05.679
Holy shit.
00:57:06.079 --> 00:57:06.719
She's good.
00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:08.239
Holy fucking shit.
00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:11.199
She's a part of a I'm gonna watch this like ten times and memorize it.
00:57:11.519 --> 00:57:13.760
She's a part of a collective, and they're all good.
00:57:13.920 --> 00:57:14.960
They're all very good.
00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:20.320
And they're in it's all the videos are like it's yeah, they're I have I think it's the Red Ant Collective or something.
00:57:20.480 --> 00:57:20.800
Fire.
00:57:20.960 --> 00:57:23.280
But no, Cappy, that's just state capitalism.
00:57:23.440 --> 00:57:23.599
Yeah.
00:57:23.679 --> 00:57:25.679
Well, Cappy, it's okay, dog.
00:57:25.840 --> 00:57:27.360
Just say you're a market socialist, bro.
00:57:27.440 --> 00:57:28.800
Oh my god, stop the cope, dog.
00:57:29.039 --> 00:57:39.360
I I was gonna say, but Marx wrote a letter to Vera Zasilich from the Narodniks where he said, blah, blah, you know, but no, the only thing I have to say about this is because I know detractors are gonna point it out.
00:57:39.599 --> 00:57:49.280
Um, yes, no, it uh public ownership of the means of production is predominant in China, and 100% of the land is owned and controlled by the party.
00:57:49.519 --> 00:57:53.679
Um so you know, because people are gonna go, well, not all of the means of that that's fine.
00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:55.119
Yeah, it's it's predominant.
00:57:55.280 --> 00:57:56.159
That's you know what I mean.
00:57:56.320 --> 00:58:05.360
That's they're what they what the Chinese call it is holding on to the essence of socialism, uh keeping the big, letting the small go as a means of developing.
00:58:05.679 --> 00:58:05.920
Right.
00:58:06.000 --> 00:58:08.079
And oh sh and they are fucking developing.
00:58:08.800 --> 00:58:27.920
There's far more development in China that I've seen than a left com develop anything, which is nothing other than an attitude and a stigma and a bad uh a bad worldview constituted on being reflexively anti-China because it is not the pure ideal form of socialism that they had in their head when they were a child and they misunderstood Marx.
00:58:28.400 --> 00:58:36.719
Some of them seem so pessimistic, nihilistic, and misanthropic that I could picture them developing a drug addiction to cope with it, but or becoming Republicans or something.
00:58:36.800 --> 00:58:37.519
I don't even know.
00:58:37.599 --> 00:58:40.480
They're like far closer than that than they are actual Marxists.
00:58:40.639 --> 00:58:42.800
But this is a fucking super base take.
00:58:42.880 --> 00:58:44.079
Holy shit, how concise.
00:58:44.480 --> 00:58:48.960
Yeah, I'm gonna be regurgitating uh regurgitating that by rote later on.
00:58:49.199 --> 00:58:49.599
Take that.
00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:52.320
Oh my god, my life's about to get so much spicier.
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:55.679
Okay, and we're gonna finish this up here with uh how do you say this?
00:58:55.840 --> 00:58:56.320
Mukamori?
00:58:56.480 --> 00:58:58.400
I think it's uh Muka Mori.
00:58:58.559 --> 00:59:01.679
Uh I'm not sure how to pronounce it 100%, but I love him.
00:59:02.000 --> 00:59:04.000
R Recording Art and Gadfly.
00:59:04.400 --> 00:59:05.840
His music's really good too.
00:59:05.920 --> 00:59:09.280
So you guys that are listening to this, check his music out because it's fire.
00:59:09.679 --> 00:59:11.280
We're gonna have all these linked, alright?
00:59:11.599 --> 00:59:12.480
Final one here.
00:59:13.599 --> 00:59:21.599
If a motherfucker's gone, and I'm going to save them, and then you disrupt me and try and tell me about how evil the motherfucker is.
00:59:30.480 --> 00:59:32.000
I'm going to save the motherfucker.
00:59:35.199 --> 00:59:36.239
I would have listened to you.
00:59:39.760 --> 00:59:41.280
I don't think you're the human being.
00:59:41.599 --> 00:59:43.840
I don't think you're I think you're evil.
00:59:44.159 --> 00:59:44.880
I think you're mad.
00:59:50.159 --> 00:59:50.800
You motherfucker.
00:59:51.039 --> 00:59:51.920
I know you're evil.
00:59:54.800 --> 00:59:56.000
I know you're evil, motherfucker.
01:00:22.480 --> 01:00:23.440
It's an evil way.
01:00:25.199 --> 01:00:26.559
I like what he's saying there.
01:00:26.719 --> 01:00:28.559
Okay, sure, but like I hear right there.
01:00:29.440 --> 01:00:44.880
I think there was a more apt metaphor, like, uh, you know, the US is like bombing and killing people abroad, and you shouldn't not do that just because your family was uh uh kicked off their plantation by a a uh a different ruler.
01:00:45.199 --> 01:00:46.480
I I like the way he put it.
01:00:47.360 --> 01:00:49.199
This is uh this is what I always say.
01:00:49.440 --> 01:00:54.000
If if because uh the I love that first part of the argument, and I've said this to people.
01:00:54.159 --> 01:01:03.760
When they criticize a country like say uh uh Burkina Faso or North Korea, I say, if you were getting jumped by a group of people and they're beating the shit out of you, you're close to death.
01:01:03.840 --> 01:01:10.800
They're taking your wallet out of your pocket, they're beating you, they're stomping on you, and there's a person standing by watching that.
01:01:10.960 --> 01:01:20.559
Do you want that person to help you and and scare them away and and pick you up off the ground, or do you want them to criticize you while you're getting curb stomped and robbed?
01:01:22.719 --> 01:01:25.599
Uh I want them to shoot the people.
01:01:26.000 --> 01:01:26.639
Yes.
01:01:26.880 --> 01:01:27.119
Yeah.
01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:27.440
Yeah.
01:01:27.679 --> 01:01:37.360
That's that's so when we criticize, like when whether it's Hamas or this group or that group, you're doing that while they're being beaten up and robbed.
01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:39.039
What kind of person does it?
01:01:39.119 --> 01:01:40.880
You should be offering a hand to them.
01:01:41.199 --> 01:01:41.920
Well, I don't know.
01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:48.719
I he kind of lost me with the metaphor in the beginning because the whole time I'm imagining someone saying, No, that guy's a Nazi, I'd be like, Oh, okay, yeah, I'll let him drown then.
01:01:48.880 --> 01:01:49.760
So, like, I don't know.
01:01:49.840 --> 01:01:50.159
I don't know.
01:01:50.239 --> 01:01:54.800
There was definitely a lot of people I would let drown if you're like, no, that's actually a general in the IOF.
01:01:54.960 --> 01:01:55.840
I'd be like, oh.
01:01:56.079 --> 01:01:57.360
Yeah, but you know what he's doing.
01:01:58.320 --> 01:02:00.159
I'll wait until I see the bubbles come up then.
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:06.400
No one's helping, you know, uh uh Bill Bill Clinton, you know, uh out of the water.
01:02:06.559 --> 01:02:07.360
You know what I mean?
01:02:07.440 --> 01:02:08.320
But I get his metaphor.
01:02:08.639 --> 01:02:11.280
In a jacuzzi-based incident, I would I would guess.
01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:18.079
I've used a similar metaphor before to to uh try just to try and get people to think of it.
01:02:18.559 --> 01:02:25.840
But yes, uh the the diaspora communities suck, especially in America.
01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:28.000
Why do they suck so fucking bad?
01:02:28.159 --> 01:02:33.599
Like, low-key, you did see Persian, Iranian people, whatever, like, nah, bomb them, it's fine.
01:02:33.760 --> 01:02:35.199
We don't like those ones anyways.
01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:39.119
It's like, bro, you're per like you're Iranian! What do you mean?
01:02:39.199 --> 01:02:40.639
It's like literally insane.
01:02:40.800 --> 01:02:42.960
They're like, actually, we we would support the U.S.
01:02:43.119 --> 01:02:44.800
indiscriminate bombing of that country.
01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:45.519
Why?
01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:47.760
Generational grudges.
01:02:47.920 --> 01:02:48.960
It's like fuck.
01:02:49.280 --> 01:03:00.159
Yeah, well, certain members of the diaspora have been bought off and have been, I mean, the communities, diaspora communities have been infiltrated by intel by the US intelligence services and leverage.
01:03:00.239 --> 01:03:03.440
We know this, uh, Cuba is a great example because we know that 100%.
01:03:03.840 --> 01:03:21.039
But in a book that I've read uh by uh Rahman Mazahari, uh who is works for press TV and as an Iranian man, um he details like how the Hollywood Iranians are, you know, he he he puts it much better than I can, but they're compromised, for lack of a better way to put it.
01:03:21.280 --> 01:03:21.519
Yeah.
01:03:22.719 --> 01:03:31.519
All of the Southern California people, like you have people uh who were um um yeah, whatever, I don't know.
01:03:31.599 --> 01:03:33.440
I fucking losing my train of thought.
01:03:34.400 --> 01:03:37.039
The diaspora communities in general just fucking like no good.
01:03:37.119 --> 01:03:41.119
And that's which is why I advocate for the meteor to hit all of America.
01:03:41.199 --> 01:03:44.960
And I would only beg the meteor's uh fucking good graces and say, Mr.
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:50.800
Serve God Meteor, please, you know, spare some uh indigenous people, but uh all the settlers wipe them out.
01:03:50.960 --> 01:03:51.920
Yeah, yeah.
01:03:52.239 --> 01:03:59.519
Maybe yeah, what wipe out everyone except for the uh the indigenous folks and then these seven folks that we we just uh played here.
01:03:59.679 --> 01:04:00.880
You could take the I don't care.
01:04:01.199 --> 01:04:07.760
I think yeah, no, I would definitely if you I there was a button right here where it's like sacrifice every settler for fucking like worldwide socialism.
01:04:08.159 --> 01:04:15.199
I'd hit that button immediately, knowing that I would be Yeah, I would be I would be smashing the button uh definitely.
01:04:15.360 --> 01:04:18.719
Um but I think these were in fact seven good takes.
01:04:18.880 --> 01:04:25.199
These were good examples of online leftists, non-pajority online leftists, parentheses not pejorative.
01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:25.760
Yeah.
01:04:25.840 --> 01:04:28.320
Yeah, so I mean, guys, if you're listening, follow these people.
01:04:28.480 --> 01:04:30.800
Follow these people because it uh the it's worth it.

And you don't have to read all these pesky books asking me for no, no, Daniel's in the happy.
01:04:41.519 --> 01:04:41.920
You don't know.
01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:44.880
You know how Madeline Pendleton became as smart as they are?
