  • Generally his video essays about Imperialism/ Settler-Colonialism are extremely on point and a great way to educate libs, but yeah his takes on AES can be hit and miss.

    In regards to Venezuela, while their nominally socialist government definitely has its problems (even if you ignore the likely electoral fraud, Maduro has suppressed much of the Venezuelan left including the Communist Party, and his policies are largely social democratic in nature), as a Marxist who lives in the Global North, my first position towards Venezuela or any country in the Global South is to lift all sanctions and/ or stop Western intervention for imperialist interests. This is why we have critical support for imperialized countries.



  • The thing you’re forgetting though is that Kamala is ALSO a shitty candidate like Hillary and Biden was.

    As others have already pointed out, she is the only candidate who polled worse than Biden against Trump. She’s nowhere near the level of charm and charisma Obama was.

    At least half the country thinks she’s a Cultural Marxist that will destroy America (I wish). And her fanbase is nearly identical to Hillary’s was (suburbanite wine moms).

    Of course her being younger, not part of any political dynasty, and also actually non-White could tip the scales in her favour. But we’ll see.
