    RT will now interview anyone who is at all critical against the United States government. RT America was pretty good back in the day and had fostered left-wing voices like Abby Martin, Lee Camp, Max Blumenthal, and Chris Hedges, however that was shutdown by the U.S. government. With the shutdown of RT American and especially Russia’s ban on same-sex marriage RT started to cater more to conservatives and right-wingers who talk about how they support Russian government over the United States government.

    I watched a few Midwestern Marx Institute videos in 2024 when I was more new to Marxist-Leninist and however they quickly they turned towards Patriotic Socialism and starting to incorporate it into their viewpoints and I stopped watching them because they dismissed the idea of settler colonialism because they could not handle the fact that Americans colonized, stole the lands of, and gencoided the Native Americans. The Deprogram subreddit users had started warning people that they had become a Patriotic Socialist channel. Shortly after that they started supporting American nationalism and talking how the founder fathers would have supported communism. Even though if you read about Bourgeois revolution they would know the founding fathers are of the bourgeoisie class and common sense would tell them not to support slave owners.

    They were cosplaying as Marxist-Leninist for some time before they started to quickly become Patriotic Socialists allowing to develop a fan base. They started promoted the idea that the working class was mostly MAGA and that in order to reach those people they need to have Communism that would cater to MAGA people trying to show people that MAGA and Communists were not that different and were pushing for the same goals. They started calling their “version” of Communism, “Communism with American characteristics” even though it was just extreme American nationalism with a bit of Communist terminology thrown in there.
