      I love talking politics with people and I have talked to A LOT of libs. Most agree that we need to tax the corporations more, the capitalists have gotten too greedy, we should spend more of the defense budget on healthcare, infrastructure etc.

      Not a single one of them thinks that revolution should be anywhere on the table. And when some of them finally admit that China is doing something good, it’s only because China is not socialist, it is a capitalist country! That’s why it is able to raise the living standards of its people because they have adopted some of our capitalist policies! But unlike us, they’re totalitarians!

        They’re not dedicated communists, but neither are they dedicated radlibs. If streamers are your yardstick, Vaush has 240k followers on twitter. Hasan has 1.4 million.

          Political americans, especially those of us who get more than our recommended daily intake of internet, have trouble understanding this, but most people do not care about politics as such.

                    It’s a nice house yeah, but it’s just a house, and his extended family lives in it.

                    But yeah being a socialist means not having a house. Kulaks were Kulaks because they had homes, not because they were petty agricultural capitalists who acted against the revolution. Real theory hours.

                    Despite that, saying Hasan is a First Worldist is insane, regardless of whatever your house opinion of him is. He’s been consistently supportive of struggles in the global south, and critical of imperial ventures.
