Essentially do you see any big modern marxist public figures coming in as the “old guard” ages out? Who?

    He doesn’t acknowledge PRC’s achievements, doesn’t support AES except Cuba (I think) and doesn’t align himself with other anti-imperialists. He attacks journalists critical of the west, I faintly recall a bona fide NED spook quote tweeting BE to attack the Greyzone.

    Insofar as he limits himself to attacking rightists, especially the ones claiming to be socialists, he’s fine.

      He calls himself socialist, supports LatAm social democracy, and defended Stalin from holodomor lies, but he constantly has bad China takes, and his streaming channel is toxic.

        Not OP but I believe:

        PRC - People’s Republic of China. Self explanatory.

        AES - Actually Existing Socialism. Countries that are now operating under at least a form of socialist government.

        NED - National Endowment for Democracy. A front for US operations abroad, such as the Hong Kong protests.

        BE - Bad Empanada, obviously.
