    Michael meant a lot to me. I learned so much and he turned me into a proper leftist, which eventually lead me to read Lenin, and others. I never met him but I consider him a huge part of my life, even if for a few hours a week. Rest In Peace, brother.

      I could not have said it better.

      I would only add we will miss his voice now more than ever, we are really having a moment on The Left, maybe melodramatic but we lost a real leader.

    This is so sad, he definitely felt like the person in that sphere most interested in breaking down theory to a wider audience. His patreon page is still continuing from what I know, so I’ll chip in the dollar that I can.

    RIP to a real one. Michael strove to make the world a better place. Gone far too soon.

      Yeah me neither. I’ve heard his name come up a few times while browsing reddit but that’s it. Seems like a youtuber/podcaster left personality.

          He’s fairly young, I think. My age or around there. My brother watched a lot of his podcasts and it kind of turned him towards socialism.

                  It’s not bad. My brother has had a hell of a political transformation. Four or five years ago he was a garden variety conservative, transitioned to distributism, before eventually becoming a Trot. I’ll get him around eventually. Sorry about your brother though. Sargon is some rough shit. Just keep trying. He’ll come around eventually.

    He was able to unite the entire left for once. Godspeed, Michael, thank you for all your work. Rest in Power.

      I know it’s pedantic as all hell and somewhat inappropriate but it should be the entire western left. Gotta watch that exceptionalism, comrade. The majority of us over here in Asia probably have never heard of him.
