He can't stop you from organizing into a new party.

He can't, like, physically prevent you, no, but if the people you would organise into that party are Hasan viewers, they won't join because he is literally here saying not to. Because he is a liberal.

    if they really want to organize with communists, they probably won't like hasan very long. the problem is the ones who are comfortable remaining socdems. the ones who don't have a problem with imperialism so long as they get their cut of the money graham hitner tortured and murdered for. hasan's thing is keeping those people comfortable. not to mention the male chauvinists. whether he turns potential comrades into baby leftists as a byproduct of that, i can't say. either way, just on a personal level, i really don't like hasan piker.

    But I think we should remember he does a lot of apolitical content like just gaming streams and stuff. I think a lot of his fans mostly like him for the entertainment value and less cuz they totally agree with all his political takes.

    there is truth to the notion that at least some significant proportion of his fans are there more for the bloodsport and general news coverage than are there for his specific political ideology. there is not truth to the notion that he spends much time doing apolitical content, it's significantly less than 1% of his overall output in the last three years. also the concurrent viewership drops by half the second he does something that's not news/politics. it's considered a meme within his community the extent to which he says he'll do apolitical content and then doesn't.

    for what it's worth, i have no qualm with your take or feelings, i just think you should have up-to-date anthropological data.

    he also tells people to join PSL, i don't think you have a good handle on what his average is. if you're only seeing his most entryist efforts, you're going to get the view being offered to people with little to no political consciousness.
