>>2561979it's funny how much leftypol likes michael hudson while shitting on bernie when hudson was a longtime bernie advisor
>>2562022>Give West Oakland to ChinaWTF is yarvin smoking lol
>>2561959He will have to cope with marx and engels talking about more productive systems own lesser productive ones, their repetition of the need for development and how impossible to create socialism from the straight up go.
China may be revisionist but not as much as libsoc's believe.
>>2562022I'm mainly concerned about what's causing the level of brain damage required for people to think this guy is interesting.
>>2562041He originally got his audience from CS majors who needed Nick Land dumbed down and reformatted into blog posts. Then Thiel picked him up and his network started pretending he was some sage philosopher. No one outside this bubble takes him seriously.
>>2562032S4A though isn't a libsoc though.
>>2561959s4a is not great at thinking dialectically which is why i find a lot of his videos both dull and intellectually flawed. people like john bellamy foster would smoke him in a debate about china. you will gain more insights from a page of foster's books than 10 hours of s4a's video
>>2559559The most excuse what the fuck I have felt all week.
Fuck
>>2562070S4A's bad takes also end up ruining his audiobooks where he inserts unwarranted and opinionated commentary to try to skew how people interpret the text. It's supposed to be an audiobook not a book report video essay.
>>2562066coldn't tell he wasant a liberal socialist, this level of unseriousness ends up being bad
I like S4A and I like that he exposes revisionist scum and the capitalist imperialist state of China, even if he is a Hoxhaist (dogmato-revisionist).
>>2562115nice. you, s4a, and Agent Kochinski have essentially the same views on china
>>2561942how is this even still a thing didnt they stop even detaining people like 5 years ago
>>2562070he would just do the same thing he does for brain becker and cite some article from 2007 saying "look even he knows its revisionist" (JBF also said the same stuff as PSL about china 2 decades ago)
its strange about the dialectics because he has clearly done the reading. if he said china was revisionist but spent only like 1% time saying that and was skeptical that would be fine but hes gotta be anti and call them imperialist in opposition which doesn't seem very principled to me. like why expose the enemies of your own bourg, imperialist intrigue and not an internationalist duty. red menace/revleftradio are better for that. i still think s4a is acceptable tho because hes definitely anti-war over taiwan.
>>2562073agree its sad and will end up making the videos seem outdated eventually
>>2562134He said there were probably some human rights abuses judging by a few cases he looked over but no genocide and the Chinese government must have stopped with it
>>2562129You have essentially the same views on Germ theory as Hitler and Margaret Thatcher, that must mean germ theory is wrong.
>>2562138redditors have been going off for weeks
@hasan about how hypocritical it is to support china and palestine because china is doing a full genocide right now and are getting zero pushback
>>2562141>redditthey are all glowuyghurs
>>2562139we all agree on germ theory, retard
>>2562141I don't care for imperialist strasserite dogs (Hasan)
>>2562146>picthey have to save face you retard, but as a true leftist you should celebrate 9/11, my communist grandma cheered right when she heard the news on TV on 2001, grow a pair
>>2562115>I like S4A because hes anti-revisionist also hes revisionistMaoism everyone
>>2561964eddie pepitone, check out his special In Ruins
>>2562115>Hoxhaist (dogmato-revisionist).so strange people dont see it this way. if hoxha was the prophet then why are bunkerstan capitalism now?
>>2562152Holy shit lmaoooo
Hiros actually fucking last it. Another waste of a cute mascot
>>2562141<Killing genocide is the same as cultural "genocide"Ignoring Israel and China, how do radlibs keep up this farce? Murdering people is clearly not as bad as making people speak a different language yet they pretend it's morally equivalent.
>>2562161hasan is a rightoid doe
>>2562161Hasan is CIA but its still funny to see someone describe an actual Communist expressing support for the USSR a "mask-off moment"
>>2562162>cultural "genocide"the thing is though, its not even that. they couldn't find evidence and then totally dropped it because no serious lawyer would take it and then china stopped even the reeducation. its was at most "human rights abuses".
the thing thats bothering me is the larger "human rights" argument where people are saying china treats LGBT badly with no analysis of their level of relative development and no understanding where rights come from.
its just liberals thinking correct ideas fall from they sky and since advanced industrial countries with massive urbanization for over a century and social safety nets have gay marriage then everyone else should too. china is still 35% rural and 20% agricultural by population, hundreds of millions of people. its even more directly understandable then countries that may have been developed before and got bombed by america then regressed.
>>2562168Fundamentally they are pointing at China to distract from Israel and USA to muddy the waters.
But beyond China and Israel, I'm saying the two different types of "genocide" don't quite fit together. Technically they both get rid of an ethnic grouping. But murdering a people is clearly worse and different from incorporating an ethnic grouping into a larger group by teaching a different culture and language. These two different actions should have two different names but radlibs purposefully confuse them together under the one label of genocide. So now countries that murder ethnic groups like Israel try to point to countries that incorporate ethnic groups and then pretend it's the same thing.
>>2562196>Technically they both get rid of an ethnic grouping.But anyone can catch a flight to China and see Xinjiang for themselves and see how Uyghur culture is proudly displayed. Here's a Jamaican guy backpacking across Xinjiang.
https://youtu.be/UKkDMiivV-o?t=212 However, hey are taught both the Uyghur language and Mandarin which gives them more opportunities. For instance, if they want to pursue a job in semi conductors or aeroengineering, then going to a top school in china (where mandarin is commonly spoken) is crucual. Constrast this to Hawaii. Few people speak the Hawaiian languages anymore because in 1896, an act was passed banning the teaching of the Hawaiian language in school. Meanwhile, all the Uyghurs speak the Uyghur language with high literacy.
>>2562296China and their treatment of the Uyghurs is besides the point I'm making.
I trying to talk about the concept of genocide itself. Because the current concept of genocide is too broadly applied it allows murderers to hide behind the idea and point towards forced cultural assimilation as being just as evil. By grouping two different concepts (assimilation) & (murder) under one word (genocide) it confuses the moral issues and moral weight of two different things.
>>2562196>Technically they both get rid of an ethnic groupingChina is not "getting rid of" any ethnic group. Not technically or any other way
>>2562167>Hasan Piker>actual Communistlmao
>>2561959>s4a said he will work in debunking socialism with chinese characteristics as revisionistslop Not the hardest thing to do frankly. Maoists have the best Hoxhaist beat by multiple decades at this point (both in theory, practice, and critique).
>>2562115I really don't understand why he must technically stop at Hoxha, since he always goes on and on about how he seeks a better understanding of Marxism. Hopefully he'll come around one day to MLM.
>>2562342if it wass up someone will have saved it. also who cares tho. they're nobodies..
>>2562161based Rania Khalek should be hasan famous. amerikkkans just hate women.
>>2562366Firstly, because 99% of online MLMs are as obnoxious as Trotskyites. Secondly, because a huge portion of anon MLMs are just anti-com trolls pretending to be ultras.
If it wasn't for FLP and some of the parties engaged in actual struggle I'd have written it off.
>>2562369Let’s keep it that way.
