Only a 6 minute video and he managed to fit in:
- Chavez and Maduro betraying the revolution and not building socialism,
- Maduro outlawing “the actual communists”,
- Venezuela supposedly never took any serious steps to diversify its economy from oil,
- Russian and Chinese imperialism,
- Some big bourgeoisie are “puppets of China and Russia”,
- Russian imperialism in Ukraine,
- China debt-trapping Venezuela.
His conclusion: “we should not advocate for return of Maduro to power”.
He also managed to confuse the separate events of the US striking the fishing boats and the US pirating the oil tankers arriving at “these boats were supposedly transporting drugs while many were in reality obviously oil tankers going to Cuba” as if he didn’t pay any attention before and did some last-minute research before making the video.
I watched that video and it’s a fucking joke; the guy seems it has something against the deprogram and co.
Which is kinda funny considering he appeared on the podcast. I remember making a post about his Chinese Cultural Revolution video back on TheDeprogram subreddit. The discussion was small but relatively insightful.
His whole “anti-stalinist” schtick just comes off as someone fighting shadow puppets to me.
