Hakim EXPOSED (LEAKED DMs??!? 😱😱😱)

Hi there! Excuse the impromptu video; today a video on organizing and movement building was supposed to go up, but some twitter outrage and YT still not accepting the upload got in the way. I'll re-record and re-edit that video in hopes of it uploading in a few weeks. Regardless, if you have any questions about this or anything else, feel free to DM me, anytime. Timestamps in the description. That's all for this time, love you all!

All The Questions Socialists Are Asked, Answered (TIMESTAMPED)

Hello again! This is a Q&A I did earlier this month on the Politics Discord server. I got some questions that I think practically every Socialist gets asked at some point or another, so here are my answers. I hope they come in handy in your future discussions! Timestamps in the description. If you want any clarifications, book recommendations, suggestions or just have questions for me, feel free to DM me anytime :)
Love you all! <3

Talking w/ Richard Wolff: The Controversial Questions (China, Revolution, Markets and more!)

Hello everyone! Sorry I couldn't get any of your questions in, the allotted time was only 30 minutes, I couldn't even get to all the "main" topics I wanted to cover sadly.
We spoke about the questions of China's position, "market Socialism", his view of cooperatives and if/how they could seize political control, and more. Although I don't agree with all he said, I think he still gave a bit of food for thought within the very limited time-frame we had. I hope you enjoy it!
My thoughts ...

Fox News "Journalist" Doesn't Know What Socialism Is (Debunking "5 Myths About Socialism")

Apologies to all my patrons this month, my mic died before I could read out all the names. I'm getting a new one very soon and I'll read out all your names in the next video I upload. Sorry about this! <3
This is just something quick and fun before all the Wolff fun we'll have in a bit. I hope you enjoy it!

Breadtube, Debate-Bros, and The Problems of The Western Left

Hello again! In this video, I casually go over the general errors and pitfalls of the modern left as I see them. This is not meant to be all-exhaustive, nor incredibly in-depth. My hope is that it generates some discussion however, and allows us all to improve together. Lemme know what you think; love you all! <3

The Only Leftist Reading List You'll Ever Need (lol)

Obvious joke in the title aside, here's a quick video about something I get asked daily. A general introductory reading list for the basics of Socialism in only a handful of works. This isn't meant to be all-exhaustive, and many other recommendations can be found in the dedicated playlist, or through DMing me whenever you like. I hope you find this useful! <3

Capitalism Steals From You, And Here's How

The final video loosely related to the previous two on basic considerations regarding the contradictions of Capitalism, and the superiority of Socialism. In this one, we'll be discussing the grand theft that occurs every minute of every day you work under Capitalism, and we'll contrast that with the other argument you hear from the other side, on taxation supposedly being theft. Expect a new book recommendations soon! <3

Socialism Is Better Than Capitalism...Right?

I managed to get it out in decent time, thankfully.
Building up from the previous video (on why Capitalism is a crap system, generally), here we discuss how & why Socialism is a superior system. Specifically, Socialism stands atop theoretical principles (that have been put into practice at differing times, to differing extents) that thoroughly solidify the system's coherence and superiority over Capitalism. I hope you like it! <3

Capitalism Really F**king Sucks, But Why?

Hello! Apologies for disappearing for a few weeks, there will be a bit more of that sadly. Work has been pretty heavy these past few weeks. If you've DM'd me and haven't gotten a response, that's why. Please do bare with me <3
Here's a video on why Capitalism sucks, essentially. It's a basic, general overview for all the new subs (welcome all of you!) as to why Capitalism is an untenable system because of the intrinsic flaws it possesses. Hopefully I'll get the sister video to this one...

Sources and Further Reading For The Ben Shapiro Video

I had to make them a post on Patreon because Youtube will not keep the  comment up. Some parts of the links are getting caught in a metadata  filter and auto-deleting, is my assumption. Regardless, here it is:

Humiliating Vaush, Again (He's Still Wrong About, Well, Everything, but Specifically Marx & Lenin)

Hi there! Here's my Christmas gift to all you lovely people, I hope you like it!
I generally go through Vaush's really inadequate and disappointing response to my video where, amongst other things, he admits to not reading theory, moves the goal posts, spends half the video not actually engaging with my points but instead argues with his chat, engages in war crime defense on behalf of the democrats and finally rage-quits my video. I hope the pain of subjecting myself to him yell into his m...

PragerU Brain Rot (Responding to "Socialism vs. Capitalism)

Hey uhh, did you guys know that, Socialism is when the government does stuff, and the more stuff it does, the more Socialist it is. And if it does a whole lotta stuff, it's Communism.
Joking aside, I've wanted to do something on PragerU for a while thinking it'd be fun. Boy was I wrong; this was frustrating as all hell because the arguments are just so bad. Hopefully, my suffering can be somewhat entertaining and educational. Love you all <3

Is Disney's Aladdin Racist?

Yes. Yes it is.
I hope you enjoy this look into the Orientalism of Disney's Aladdin. In particular, I highlight just a few of the many issues of the movie, regarding names, dress, Oriental depictions of women and much more. I hope you like it!

How NOT To Talk To Liberals About Capitalism (Jubilee's Socialist vs Capitalist 'Middle Ground' Vid)

This Jubilee video is a really good case-study for how these sort of conversations go. You have a few people vaguely informed about Socialism, and a few people who advocate for Capitalism solely out of environmental diffusion of hegemonic ideas rather than personally being convinced by it. Truth be told, I expected a lot more of this video, and that was my fault lol
I hope you guys still enjoy it, nonetheless. Love you all! <3

The Death Toll of Capitalism

You hear it everywhere, "Socialism killed millions!". Rich, coming from a system with in-built excess death for profit. Capitalism's projection at it's finest. The numbers game is one they'll always, disastrously, lose.
Apologies for being away for a bit, I'm still busy as all hell. Trying to still get out some quality videos in the meantime, lemme know if I hit the mark! Stay safe everyone <3

Mutual Aid: Check Out These Amazing Channels!

Hopefully the first of many, here's a shout-out video. All of these creators are absolutely excellent, and add both breadth and depth to the leftist space on Youtube. Indispensable work. Seriously, check them out!
Some big videos coming, stay tuned <3

Conservatives Have The Worst Arguments Against Socialism (Debunking Oxford Speaker's Rambling)

 Hello there! This video has been recommended to me forever and I never bothered to watch it because I could've guessed what he was going to say. Nonsense about freedom, disingenuous comparisons, references to Germany, maybe an Orwell quote or two. Turns out, I wasn't far from the truth. Hope you enjoy it. 

Vaush Is So F***ing Wrong About, Well, Everything But Specifically Marx & Lenin

Hey there! Join me in watching Vaush systematically misunderstand or take out of context every quote he uses, while at the same time outing himself as only having skimmed a few works, if he even read them in the first place. I hope you enjoy it!

Does Commodity Production Exist Under Socialism?

A video I've wanted to do for a while. Uploaded a week later than originally desired, but it happens. Precarious recording conditions lol
Here's a quick discussion of what commodity production is, its form under differing modes of production and finally under Socialism. The why and what being fully explained, I hope. I hope you like it!

Book Recommendations 6: How Did The USSR Work?

Finally experimenting with chapter headers within the video. Lemme know what you think.
If you have any trouble finding these books at all, just DM me and I'll send them your way :)

Q&A With The Politics Discord Server

Here's a Q&A done a few days ago with the politics discord server. It's my first time on an explicitly non-leftist discord and I think it went pretty well. Check it out!
If you're down for a chill VC chat with me, I'm planning to do one on the 28th on my discord. Check the announcements section. That's it for now, love you all <3

Libertarian Socialism With Authoritarian Characteristics

Is there any real difference between "libertarian" Marxists and "authoritarian" Marxists?
Watch and find out!
The shame will never wash off after making that thumbnail.

US: What Is To Be Done?

Another video, so soon? Don't get used to it haha
Current events are too interesting not to talk about. Please, read the description and the pinned comment. Stay safe everyone <3

Left Unity Is Not A Good Idea...Or Is It?

A video I've wanted to make for a while. Read the pinned comment and description for my full thoughts, but I think I did a good enough job in the video to get my nuanced point across. Hope you enjoy it!  ❤︎ 

Former Socialism's Faults

Finally here, I hope you enjoy it! I really recommend taking a look at a few books I mentioned in the video. It'll definitely help you get a better idea of both flaws as well as successes, and also future strategies for Socialism.

What Should New Marxists Do?

Relatively straight-forward video this time.
I get asked this frequently enough so I decided to make a video on the topic. I hope you like it!

Left-Wing Anti-Communism: An Infantile Disorder

Finally a video I've been meaning to make for a long time. This one discusses a long-existing trend in our movement, particularly amongst Western academics as well as many Western comrades, that our Socialist tradition is nothing but a bastardization of some imagined ideal they have in their head. As a result, they reject it wholesale, or fully succumb to red-scare inspired CIA propaganda and bow their heads to the ever-honest Capitalist news sources, publishing houses and government official...

Book Recommendations 5: Unequal Development

 Another book recommendations! This has been the least fun one to make as I had to make  my way through an uncomfortable amount of books to get to a small list like this. Many of these are somewhat difficult to get a hold of physically, so take a look online for some PDFs.
They should all be available on libgen :)

Disease And The Hypocrisy of Capitalism

 Hello again! This time we're discussing the effects Capitalism has on disease, its coverage, spread and treatment. Excuse the only semi-relevant background video; so much as saying "Coronavirus" or "Covid-19" (or anything else relevant, really) will get the video demonetized. Enjoy, and stay safe everyone ❤︎  

Looking At Gorbachev's Stupid Pizza Hut Commercial

How is he not dead yet?
Enjoy my anger at this stupid commercial as you remember that somehow, as some cosmic joke, this traitor is still alive.
