You have such a limited understanding of everything you profess to know about. It’s disheartening. Read Marx. Read Kropotkin. Read Lenin. Read Mao. These people aren’t the demons capitalist want you to see them as. They weren’t perfect either. But reading The NY Times, Washington Post, Forbes, and Wall Street Journal aren’t gonna give you the full understanding of economics. Socialism can work, but capitalism won’t let it.
I don’t feel like debunking this crap, but you’re wrong and placing the blame on individuals.
Yeah, where video?
Do you think they do the same with world politics?
They were all liberals. Source: Vaush
Bees, everywhere.
The guy that created this platform is a Marxist-Leninist, and has read some theory. His essays : Desalinnes.
Everyone has bad takes. Take the good from it and leave the bad. Like tankies or not, but they tend to know more theory then the average socialist. I listen to Vaush, he has some good takes, but he’s also pro NATO, which is no bueno for me.
Upstream. The Socialist Program. Marx Madness. Refuse Fascism. If Books could kill. Best of the left.
Good video. Although I was distracted when reading about his illness. I’ve researched this somewhat recently and am understanding the reasoning for supporting NATO in Ukraine. I think the central dissonance is between comfort and change. I have no misconceptions about Putin/Russian imperialism and what their intent is. And for that matter, China. I also understand the goals of American / European imperialism. The consistency of capitalism. In that regard, Western imperialism is better because it is comfortable and what we know. But when analyzed from a global perspective, it is the greater evil, and needs to change. Niger is a current example. The greater left sees this in NATO and forms opinions accordingly. You can be against Russian aggression and NATO expansion. You can support Ukraine independence and be against capitalist imperialism. Those of us voicing opinions against NATO aren’t necessarily pro Russia/ Putin.
I regret knowing what that is
Corporations are evil. Thanks for the article. Never heard of the New Lede.

I may try again later. I have a windows pc I can try it on.
This has been known since 2017. It’s the ultranationalism and xenophobia that did it for me. When your followers call themselves “patriots,” you’re a fascist.
My MAC wouldn’t let me run the .exe because of security. Am I supposed to bypass security?
Just tried macOS. Didn’t work.
Bye, bye YouTube.
West was prescribing a position based on a hypothetical situation where both sides choose diplomacy. That is what I agree with. That is not the current situation. Russia has said they do not seek diplomacy and Ukraine doesn’t want to concede land, so the hypothetical is irrelevant. If you don’t agree to the hypothetical diplomacy, due to historical precedence and speculation for the future, you’re condemning the region to war. Yes, Russia may continue and expand the war. But making geopolitical decisions based on fear and speculation is not the ideal position when lives are being lost daily. Do you want the war to stop? If you do, then Cornel West’s position of diplomacy is the best option.
Why wait until death?
