i think he described himself as a market socialist at some point. and yeah his marxism takes are the worst. its the common western problem of thinking that marx wrote good antitrust laws or something

yeah rybar is an ultranationalist. the soviet narratives that he wants to rethink are internationalism and multiculturalism
ebbok. it’s cheaper in the long run, easier to carry around (on public transport for instance), can highlight and bookmark easily
Yes! Sorry, I was typing too fast
For real. I’ve had this experience recently with Cuba 1964. It is a fiction movie but still, so clear about its politics.
how are those two issues even remotely similar
As other commenters have said, they do bring it up, you just don’t hear about it on western media. I’ve experienced it in former soviet, yugoslavia states.
Heavenly Bodies. You play astronauts on a space station doing menial tasks, but the difficulty is that you have to control all your limbs properly to move around in zero-g. It’s tricky (has easier modes tho) but is really satisfying when you learn how to work together to fling screwdrivers around.
PSL seems to officially hold no stance on stalin or trotsky which is just…weird
this is not serious posting
It reads like he received this viewpoint from a Marx-sympathetic university course that nonetheless could not fully endorse Marxism for fear of people complaining that they’re turning people into commies
For sure. Marxism in social science 101 is viewed as this esoteric hyper-specific framework that is only about class, and besides, class isn’t real anyways because middle-class! 101 likes to focus on Marx as if no-one has ever continued his work. Alex seems to know that, since he references Angela Davis and black marxism. Though Angela Davis did support Harris when she became VP, so I guess maybe its just the radicalized nature of modern US marxism.
But saying that half the people telling you not to vote for Kamala are Russian bots is just peak radlib Tumblr/Reddit, and is disconnected from reality.
I had the same feelings about it. I feel like he is only interested in the abstract/philosophical aspects of liberalism and marxism (ideologies in general maybe), without actually applying analysis to current material conditions. His brief comment that Reps and Dems are both liberals is completely neglected in the end section.
This was the video I commented about. I really like the video and Alex’s channel in general, but I agree with GarbageShoot that the video has issues representing Marxism (that I also notice from other breadtube creators). What really solidified this thought for me was when in the end of the video he said that people who are against voting are russian bots in a serious context.

I know libertarians who specifically vote for that so that the fed can’t do anything
i feel like its mostly libertarians
fighting someone does not necessarily mean anything, but intending to prolong a war is indeed what pro war means. i dont know who you assume « all my heroes » are
They are pro war in the sense that they are pro supplying Ukraine with weapons to perform some sort of offensive operation. And they are against an immediate ceasefire. Nadezhda Tolokonnikova has been quite open about it
What exactly do you find inaccurate in this article?
based on members who supported Stalin’s crushing of the Hungarian revolution in 1956
Juche necromancy strikes again
I agree with some comments about that PSLs organizing could be better, but disagree that it is bourgeois nationalism to oppose imperialism.
agreed. it is definitely part of the breadtube culture of positioning oneself as radical, while not straying too far for keynesian social democracy. maybe a better title would be “unlearning neoliberal economics”, since that is what he is actually deconstructs, not capitalist economics fundamentally. for UE it is probably much less effort, since EU/UK econ schools already are much more focused on keynesian or behavioral economics than in US (he has a behavioral econ degree). for US viewership it is seen as super radical. so it is probably his econ courses just adapted to youtube
