I guess if they had a communist from Ukraine they would at least be more knowledgeable
Even that is not a guarantee. Because they did have a Russian “communist” on their program at one point and they learned absolutely nothing. Because the “communist” they chose to invite was some kind of ancom or Trot with a vendetta against the KPRF who basically did nothing but repeat western talking points about the Russian government.
It was as if they purposely picked a Russian “communist” who would just come on to validate every prejudice that western leftists have about Russia. I imagine it wouldn’t be hard to find a Ukrainian “communist” to do the same.
Because unfortunately, most of the actual communists in Ukraine are now in prison, dead, or have long since defected to the LDPR. So if they were to actually find a real Ukrainian communist they would run the risk of being accused of platforming a pro-Russian “traitor” to Ukraine.
Yeah, true. I meant if it was a well-educated ML with nuanced takes, not some anti-Russia, anti-China ultra or something. But something tells me they will chicken out if they get the chance.
My guess is they pre-approve not only guests but the talking points in the videos they make. And they did put the Syomin guy into the spotlight twice. You know how it goes - “fool me once…”
