Isn’t the first entry in “Excellent” (goes by Cody I think) a rabid anti-Stalinist? I think he was the guest on the episode about Stalin on Behind the Bastards.
He’s definitely in the Robert Fedvans orbit so I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest
Yeah but like 90% of what he says is legit, and well researched - to the extent that liberal institutions will allow, anyway
Would have been nice if they hadn’t used a book by an anti-communist that equates Stalin to Hitler (Kotkin) as source. But if that’s fine with you then it’s fine with me.
to the extent that liberal institutions allow the guy has fantastic points about the structure of society under capitalism etc, if you need every single person that you listen to to have the exact same opinion as you and can’t extract relevant information from anyone else, that’s actually your problem and not anyone elses x
Not much relevant information to extract from a liberal youtuber.
Spoken like someone who has never watched SMN in their entire life. Lmao. Feel free to keep offering uneducated opinions though, makes you look really tough on the internet to strangers!

how will i ever live this down
Perhaps cry? Shid? Fard? Cumb in your pance?
Cody is literally a fuck lib lmao. This list sucks ass.
You don’t watch Some More News, do you?
I used too. Last time I heard from him he was telling people to vote for biden
Hakim is okay.
He minimized the Russo-Ukrainian war a “conflict between two capitalist countries” and claimed that he only supports the working class, which is an empty platitude derived from an idealist interpretation of the conflict.
So yeah, I mean - none of these people are really bold enough to fully reject American propaganda.
How is he wrong about that, exactly? It’s not like Putin woke up and said “ya know let’s do a war”
Hakim is wrong in that he blends together civilization imperfection from one country within and being used by the hegemonic white core (Ukraine) vs another country which has been a decades long victim of Imperialist mass murder and bloodthirst (Russia).
By throwing ones hands up and claiming that they are “both capitalist” is an idealist analysis, as it is abstracting the conception of capitalism from reality and then claiming it to be universal across these nations -
But it is not!
As I said, materially, Russia is not a white country as in, it is materially not part of the white hegemonic core, in fact it is it’s existential enemy.
What Hakim did, on purpose or not (likely just a incorrect dialectical analysis), whitewashes the American death machine.
It’s unfortunate, but Hakim’s “both are capitalist” take is CIA propaganda.
BadEmpanada has somewhat weird prejudice against China and Russia(much better however than the avg breadtuber).
Hasan is pretty entertaining, besides that, his fans are the worst (besides Vaush, destiny, Demonmama)
JrEg has come out as a social democrat.
He’s funny tho

The only thing I dislike about Hakim is the special pleading towards religion being safe against Dialectical Materialism and any criticism whatsoever in general…
You gotta meet people where they’re at. Religion was never banned under the USSR or anything, in fact right to religion was constitutionally guaranteed, nor did Marx advocate for destroying it, so I’m wondering why you think this.
Well, a honest, materialist and historical approach to religions in general without the goggles of indoctrination, where core believes go against Materialism and after classist goals towards protecting Sacerdotal Class.
We could discuss this somewhere else since even here religion is incredibly protected instead of having a sincere criticism and I don’t want to get banned.
Also, being a cult survivor made me sensitive in the subject.
Wait a minute. Lenin did forbid (and for extremely good reasons) religion under the USSR and even they had atheist classes in school… Or is this some sort of religious apologists against communism? Also, Marx was an avid anti-religious and Dialectical Materialism literary is a phylosophy /science that goes against anything God-related except how material interest made people invent gods such as Yahweh, Enki or Amaterasu.
That’s very charitable to The Serfs - that channel is just a nothing stream that lacks any analysis and regularly features that boring SocDem/DemSoc Ben Burgis
Thought Slime is irritating? Agree to disagree
They’re fine, but their channel has gone downhill recently and it’s pretty lame content
I think they’re peak YouTube when it comes to entertainment, but to each their own
