"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985
International Anti-Capitalist podcast run by an American, a Slav and an Arab.

Hes good, I've been wanting to pick up his books at some point.
I've had some disagreements [imo he spends too much of his time on Twitter. I.e whenever the topic of Iran comes up he has to say "we shouldn't support Iran but we shouldn't support imperialism either." Which, in my opinion, is a nothing burger of a statement thats not actually that differentiable from just supporting Iran. There's been a couple of other things too] but it's nothing revisionist and nothing too big. Conversely I do agree with him on things that I disagree with other people about. [For instance, i disagree with Hakim's view on religion in the USSR and align with CM on the issue.]
I reccomend him, along with Bes D Marx, as smaller channels that punch we'll [edit: well. I need to turn auto"correct" off] above their weight
Edit: I remember my main disagreement with him now. I dont like his art critique. His signalis video was meandering and honestly just mean to people who like that type of game. He made very good points about the stupid anti-DDR propaganda though. I also had similar thoughts about his modern art video, which I feel kinda ignored Geller's actual video and was (for good reason) more against the CIA's support of modern art. It's a good point, but Geller was more talking about the similarities of the modern fascist/conservative movement in their hatred of modern art, rather than its actual merits. IMO it would've been better having been constructed on top of Geller's video rather than trying to tear it down.
Edit 2:assuming I'm remembering the video right, I was also disappointed that the soviet avante-garde and the avante-garde of other AES states wasn't talked about. Again, no biggie I just wanted to explain that further.
So like I said, nothing big. He also makes good videos on Vaush.
