while i personally despise trotsky because his adventurism regarding his views on permanent revolution endangered the soviet union and communism as a whole, the concept itself is valid. the tree of liberty needs to be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants from time to time after all, even if that quote specifically was made by a chud the sentiment is real. without the occasional violence in society to shake up the class structure, hereditary power and corruption will entrench itself into an utopian classless system given enough time and that endangers the project of communism as a whole, so we need purges, not reeducation, murder, the death penalty carried out on reactionaries basically until the end of time to maintain communism. communism is not pacifism, humans are innately violent and a utopian system would require it.
if you were a toilet, i dont think you would like cameras. you want to filmed while on the toilet?
not all people who move to the us are privileged though. its just that people that move from communist countries tend to be. like mexican people specifically are sort of an underclass that are exploited for cheap labor. you can find leftist sentiment in immigrants, just not immigrants from places that have actually achieved socialism.
you probably must feel that weird feeling all those german kids felt when they asked their parents and grandparents what they did in the war. like both of us shouldnt have the right to exist for the sins of our parents but here we are, so basically we got to self obliterate ourselves in penance and use what privilege and wealth we have to fight for communism.
its definitely a special kind of person who has the means to move across the world, like there's economic necessity to move to a country that we consider like ultimately evil (or in canada case, a country trying to imitate its evil neighbor) but the economy good and you can send money back. but it has a cost on your metaphorical soul being here on your own volition. but like being second gen sort of takes that burden off you since you didnt choose to be here.
as for the white person thing, personally i kind of consider how far one is from being black to how close one is to being a direct beneficiary of colonialism. it would be wrong to rank it but pacific asian people tend to side with white people on all the wrong issues since they are so close to "whiteness". like in the united states at least (and by proxy canada) theres like a caste system and i feel like theres culpability for everyone except the direct bottom, who frankly are innocent in all the sins of this nation.
is there criticism though? like if you dont like his streams you probably are a chud.
hasan isnt a gateway, he is a leftist. as long as you ignore the contradictions of him living in a hollywood mansion and engaging in treat culture, the dude is a very important internet personality because hes basically using his immense wealth and privilege to do praxis like every day. hes a bourgeoisie class traitor like fredrich engles. nothing less than complete uncritical support for hasan should be from this website. he is far more influential here than the chapo podcast.
welcome to our little mlm cult, instead of selling beauty products we sell communism. that bitter aftertaste in the koolaid is just our sarcasm.

degrowth is the left's the answer to malthusianism, you cant run out of resources if you dont overconsume them. but we lie to ourselves that less material wealth will make people happy, people own things because things make you feel good, and people overcompensate with things to fill an empty hole inside them that things really cant fill. and that sense of wanting more that capitalism causes is not really the fault of the stuff but more like people having no motivation, socialization, or time to really be happy.
divorced dads dont buy sports cars for no reason.
doing the necessary thing often isnt popular, and i think thats why the whole ecofashism thing is a thing, why give up your consumption when you can take someone elses? i feel like actually solving climate change will result in lower standards of living for everyone, even the global south, and only ideologically motivated people are going to willingly go along with degrowth. the alternative is doing nothing and paying for it in the future. of course communism isnt exactly utilitarian either, the global south should seek some retribution against the north for all the years of oppression, a disproportionate punishment for colonialism, slavery, and persecution against the beneficiaries of capitalism might be necessary in order to get the global south to do degrowth, like why should they give up their treats in equal measure with the west when the west has been stealing their treats for centuries? the south dont owe the north shit.
five is way too low a number, honestly i dont think there is a number. you know what, there are exactly six hundred arguments in the entirety of communism, including this one. no im not making this up, ive read theory, carl marx specifically says theres only six hundred issues in communism.
i would like the death penalty for all four of them.
