Be that as it may, the left is not going to do well if the prerequisite to having discussions is to read a bunch of literature. I think we need to find a way to make our tent bigger.

Thank you for your reply.

Why? Information is information. Why does it matter if it comes from books or videos?

I watch Vaush a lot and I haven’t seen what you are talking about.

Yeah, I am not surprised that you have disagreements behind Lenin and AES. The two are pretty related and hard to pull apart. I was just surprised that you would disagree with any of his Marxist takes. I think you both agree what the problems are from a Marxist perspective.

As for the sex offenders/sex pest stuff. I don’t think he is those things, but I understand I am just one person. From the stuff I have seen it is mostly people that disagree with him that label him as such as a way to get around the fact they don’t really have a leg to stand on; Fascists and the like. Not saying that is you of course.

Thanks for taking the time to talk this though by the way. I figure you get hit with a lot of stuff.

No idea, I have only watch him one or two times. Seemed good to me.

I do get that vibe from Vaush occasionally. Unfortunately the attention economy is a real thing and I would be impressed with anyone with the same reach as Vaush wouldn’t be doing similar things. I am not sure I would be as far left as I am without his content.

He has no grasp of Dialectical and Historical Materialism

Can you list a specific example? I think he has a good understanding of this.

I am pretty familiar with Vaush’s arguments on Marxist theory. What are your points of contention?

How can you have a problem with Vaush when he is so ideologically similar to Hasan? Unless you have have disagreements with Hasan.

As far as I know, all the criticisms of Vaush watching child porn has been misinformation.

For those that don’t like to read, you don’t have to read theory. In fact, most theory is old. There are newer and better takes on these ideas. Find a good YouTube channel that goes over the ideas. I like Vaush.

If you like to read theory, go for it. But I think there are faster and easier ways to get the concepts.

Generational wars doesn’t do anyone any favors.
