Hello, Yugo! I hope this post finds you well. I'd like to shoot two questions if that's alright.
For starters, I'd like to know how you conceptualize China. I believe we can agree it is currently a progressive force in our current geopolitical context. But woud you describe it as a Dictatorship of the Proletariat, as the lower phase of communism, as socialist, as capitalist, imperialist? What points from China do you appreciate from a Marxist standpoint, and which make you more skeptic? I hope this is not too polemic, nor too obvious (I'm honestly not well-informed on your position on this, I apologize).
My second question is: when is João Carvalho coming to The Deprogram?
Thank you for your time.
Greetings Comrade Yugopnik, I hope you are doing well my question for you is simple: What do you make of our Space Comrades from Beyond History?
I ask because its curious to know what others think of the UFO stuff.
Hello comrade! I have two questions.
1. What's your take on how Eastern European communists should navigate the contradictions between the pro-NATO liberals and nationalists/populists who claim to be anti-EU and anti-NATO (and also sometimes pro-Russian)?
2. When can we expect the announcement that Hakim is pregnant with your love child?
Hey Yugo what is your opinion on the role of the internet and in particular internet personalities in the global class struggle? It seems with certain recent events there has been unprecedented communication between people around the world, often over politically charged topics. What future developments do you expect, and what can users or e-celebrities do to maximize the utility of the internet for developing revolutionary potential?

Yugopnik, any tips on organizing in right-wing, rural areas where nobody shares your politics?
1. So when is the Deprogram episode about Leftypol coming out?
2. Serious question, why is JT so quick to dodge questions about the time he did a collab with Midwestern Marx?
question: how much do your chat mods and editors get paid
Long time listener, first time caller.
What do you see as China’s role in reconstructing the socialist camp? Do you think China will take up the USSR’s mantle in exporting communist ideology abroad and actively providing material support to foreign revolutionaries, or do you think this will come from somewhere else?
>>2236335
Hello comrade. Thanks for doing an AMA. 🙌
So some questions for the future AMA thread:
1. Have you been to Greece?
2. Are you acquainted with the most based party in europe (ie. The ΚΚΕ)?
3. Have you been to the burger joint in Hotel Yugoslavia? Does it still play old Elvis classics?
Hey Yugopnik, what do you think of a united Oceania that operates as a federation of Melanesian, Micronesian and Polynesian states. Which nation do you think would be most opposed to such a state: Australia, Indonesia, America or China?
I HATE THE SPGB THESE UNBEARABLE WANKERS GAH! Ahem, sorry. My question is: Do you also hate the SPGB, these unbearable wankers, gah?
Kako si, Ti si Najibolji Socijalista Youtuber. Šta mislite o Rankoviću i Miloševiću?
What's your opinion on the ACP/MidwesternMarx/Infrared? I'm not trying to start shit, just wanna know whether you find it worthwhile to work with them or not, and whether you think that their demonization is justifiable or not.
What was your introduction into Marxism? And what's the state of Marxism in ex-yugoslav countries
Are PMCs pest-bourgeois? What do you think about treatlerites? Can they be redeemed?
Is the Ukraine war an inter-imperialist conflict? Which side do you support? What do you think about ziggers?
Were you memeing when you said war in yugoslavia was started because a man put a bottle up his ass and blamed it on other ethnicity people?
>>2236335
is gooning fascist? as Dr Norbert Finklestine claims?
Are gay men bourgeois as Dr. Penis Injection claims?
Are slavs uniquely anal people?
What are the relation between EU and various balkan countries? do you see them getting closer or on the contrary try to keep independance?
same question with china (I know serbs work a lot with china and have some big projects going)
what do you think about kosovo clusterfuck and its current governance? I read an article that described it as being basically nato operated with locals politics being both entirely dominated by them and the local politicians talking big and causing trouble cause they dont have much real power (but they are still super corrupt)
>>2236335
Hello comrade Yugo
A fellow balkan to another fellow balkan i wanted to ask you about your opinion concerning the KKE the Greek Communist Party, It is one of the biggest actually non-revisionist Marxist-Leninist parties in Europe if not the biggest and last standing one with popular support in modest Greece having historically third and second positions in parliament. Past mishaps asside, it refuses to accept any form of power within a coalition goverment clearly stating that the road of the worker's power is not through the parliement. Plus the first victim of the cold war and with a rich history of resistance against the Nazis.
What do you think of Hexbear? Will you do an AMA there again?
Do you think any of your pals will be doing an AMA here or on Hexbear anytime soon?
Comrade Yugo, do you find it useful for American communists to engage in activism with groups that aren't strictly socialist such as the DSA and Green Party for goals such as climate activism or anti-war activism or is this a dead end?
>>2236335
Thoughts on Portugal?
What is the hardest part about making videos
Will you kindly have sexual relations with me?
What sect of Islam am I supposed to revert to if I want to be a true anti-imperialist Marxist?
Do you think religion and communism are truly compatible?
I just want to say I love you and your content <3
What are valuable lessons regarding ethnic/national conflict and discrimination that has existed in the Balkans that people in the West can learn from when it comes to racism in the West? Of course, there are great differences between what racism looks like in the Balkans between Balkans and the racism in the West, but perhaps there is something Westerners can infer for their situation.
Yugopnik, are you an èmigrè, dillitante, intellectual, unreliable?
Question:
WHO PAYS YOU?
Thank you for the hard work you do. Thanks for acknowledging and the willingness to put yourself with the likes of us publicly.
Big ups. I have no questions. Just happy to see a successful real socialist doing good things to grow things.
Take care of yourself and your family.
How can the student movements in Serbia and America forge stronger bonds? How can internationalism lead to better results in this scenario?
>>2236335
Greetings Yugo, I really appreciate your and the boys' work at the Deprogram. It is one of the few islands of comfort among the sea of liberal media. Here are some questions:
1. What's your favourite beverage (alcoholic and non-alcoholic)?
2. What's your favourite gun or rifle?
3. What is the best Hammer and Sickle design in your opinion?
4. What do think of the noticeable omission of Imperial Japan in discussions of fascism in the West? Any explanations for this?
5. Do you know about the term Technofeudalism from Yanis Varoufakis? What is your view? Does it have any merit or is it revisionist nonsense about "not real capitalism"?
6. Are you familiar with Prof. Gerald Horne? Is it possible to invite him for an episode on the Deprogram?
7. What is a piece of fiction with socialist/ communist themes you can recommend?
That's all from me. Again thanks for your work.
>>2236335Question of 3s:
1) Are you, or anyone you know, or someone you know who knows someone, or etc. – looking for a programmer? I could use a job.
Email me here:
[email protected]2) Can you guys do a feminism episode? I have thoughts I want to deprogram.
3) In a seperate episode, could you do an episode with Brandon Torres or other small marxist creators?
img unrelated, just wanted to make this post more appealing.
How much did the USAID defunding harmed your operation?
just kidding, now for the serious question: Is letting another man serve you a drink gae?
Are you familiar with Finland's involvement in the second World War? If you are, I'm interested in your perspective of it.
Thoughts on market socialism? Revisionism or a necessary stage in the path of building towards communism?
>>599072 The vast majority of people here are from Europe and America, don't cause trouble.
Zdravo yugo! As someone from a region that was and is still impacted (negatively) by nationalisms and sectarianisms do you think that a healthy sense of national or religious identity that does not depend on exclusionary and discriminatory practices is possible and compatible with socialism, or just left wing politic in general? I'm interested in your opinion, and whether socialists from the ex-yugo region have opinion about this during and after the wars.
Also, relating to nationalisms, what is your opinion about the so-called "patriotic socialist" movement in the US? I do not have a relatively high opinion on them, but i'm curious about your perspective, and whether there is an analogy with Serbia in this case
Can you stop screaming? You woke up my whole apartment building.

Why do you wear a condom in your head?

>>599020Hi Yugo. What do you think of the SDF/the DAANES project in North East Syria?
Do you believe there is something liberatory there or are you OLD-BO 'they're all CIA' Orthodoxy?
Yugo, is agitating, propagandizing and educating real praxis or just a meme? Should I just read books and do nothing instead?

>>599098which 2hu is this?
would you and/or the deprogram boys be open to having your own board on leftypol?
Fun Question: How many times do you have to read The Communist Manifesto to become a level 100 communist?
Serious Question: Do you see a disillusionment of capitalism into full technofeudalism before we see another socialist revolution? Or do you think we will have to rework our understanding of economics to fit the dynamics and material conditions under technofeudalism to re-organize socialism and communism?
Hello! Not sure if you will see this because I am posting late but here goes:
I was quite impressed when you made the video about the Slavic/eastern european trad wife phenomenon. I feel like a lot of (male) socialists/communists/etc. online don't take women's issues seriously, but it is nice that you show some interest in it!
With that said, what are your thoughts on the current treatment of women's issues in leftist spaces? Both online and irl. Would you say you have an analysis of patriarchy at all? Either as separate from class society or as a united system? Would be just interesting to see your views on Marxism, (socialist/radical/liberal) feminism, and/or just the women question in general ig.
Much love!
Any opinion on Emir Kusturica's "Underground"?
to be a true leftist do you have to be athiest/anti-religion? I feel like a lot of what led me to leftism in the first place was my religious values… I enter some of leftist spaces and feel like a walking contradiction
Would you call yourself a cockshottist? I mean in regards to fully computerized economic planning. Do you think we'll need AI for that?

What's a book you'd recommend to people just recently becoming interested in communism or starting to give it a chance? what's something short and easy?
He's reading the old thread, btw.
What should someone do, if they absolutely hate socialzing and doesn't care for meeting new people but still want to make a change? Is forcing meeting people only way for this very hypothetical person to get shit done?
Not talking about social anxiety, just pure disintrest to socializing.
>>599049Someone tell him in the chat that's Maxim Gorky not Mahkno.
>>599104Not Yugo, BAP is a drug addicted fat Jewish nepo baby who wrote one of the worst books I ever read. I'd feel personally insulted if Yugo responds to this, even the Nazis had better theory than the shit the fat Romanian spews.
Sup, Yugo mod here. Posting on this board is giving me such nostalgia
Isn't it a good thing that the Ukraine war is more and more directly pitting the interests of the EU and US to split up the western imperial hegemony
do you think theres a "masculinity crisis" within the western left hampering its appeal, as is sometimes debated? if so, do you think theres a way to promote masculinity in a way that benefits the modern left or is promoting gender roles/stereotypes inherently reactionary and antithetical?
What did you think of 1dime and JTs podcast, it seemed like 1dime was coming for hakim bc he’s an ML? Also what r ur thoughts on stalin
Claudia De La Cruz (PSL / U.S.A. ) is former presidential candidate that has studied Theology, and knows about Liberation Theology (she has a video on YouTube talking about that). Given the recent 1DimeRadio video with JT, were they discuss "Socialism with American characteristics" how possible is:
1. For Liberation Theology to be part of the Socialism-pushing in the next 20 years of agitation in the USA,
2. For you guys to discuss this very subject on the Deprogram, with Claudia as a guest (or not).
>>599115Eh, I think he was a interesting figure in how influential he was but not really in right wing American spaces. Also him trying to hide his dox when it was so clearly known. Also clarify, never pro BAP. Just found him interesting like I find Mishima interesting (Though not as good a writer). Just a weird guy to observe
>>599119Not yugo either but Braum from league of legends is an extremely masculine coded character who is also outrageously kind to the point that its his defining feature. Maybe more characters like that could be good.
Can you ask Hakim if he was him that accidentally I banned last week?
Have you played through Disco Elysium?
>>599124Honestly Hakim is the type of guy I expect to be banned if he isn't posting with a tripcode to get special treatment, you shouldn't even be asking, just let Hakim wait until his time is up
or switch ips Will the proletarianization of the streamer class be the spark that leads to a communist revolution?
Have you read "How the Steel was Tempered" by Nikolai Ostrofsky? If yes, what did you think of it?
>>599129That looks dangerous.
>>599130minor skill issue
>>599124Nvm apparently it was another iraqui
>>599020 Did you take a look at the Tunisian revolution of 2010 ? There are probably many lessons to be learned from that experience especially since it's a modern revolution in a pseudo modern country.
>>599124>>599133Yeah I get banned often here too see
>>599072Truly the prole man burden 😔

When will the Communist Zionist save the middle east from the Reactionary Palestine? Just like the HOI4 mod "Twilight of the Anthropocene", made by groomed soyjak kids that have anemoia (Unlike the other mod made by groomed soyjak kids that played TNO, "The Fire Rises")Communist Party of Israel/Maki (Anti-Zionism political party), Da'am Workers Party and Of course the Ale Yarok, are they based or not?
