Stop coping and accept reality
2025-05-26T02:55:12+00:00
Okay.
PJ with the twenty five, thank you so much brother, I appreciate it.
ACP Showgunner, what's going on with the five?
Appreciate you, brother.
Thank you.
Yellowstone Kami with the one.
What's going on, brother?
I appreciate you, man.
Juzan with the one.
What's up, bro?
Kai, appreciate you, brother.
ACP, I see you, bro.
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's up?
What up, y'all?
How y'all doing today?
How are y'all doing today?
I, for my part, am exhausted because I was going pretty hard on cardio today.
I'm not gonna lie.
I was at the gym.
I was running.
I don't run often.
I'm more of a walker.
I walk fast.
If I'm chasing you, I'm gonna walk.
I'm gonna power walk.
I'm gonna walk fast and angrily, but I will not run.
It's below my dignity to ever run.
I'm not a runner, right?
That's not what I do.
I walk.
I'm a walker, you understand, I don't run for nothing.
Even if I'm being chased.
By wolves and by hyenas and by cheetahs.
I'm not running for shit.
I'm walking.
I'm walking.
'Cause yeah, 'cause running's for fucking cowards.
Imagine being a fucking idiot and you run.
You know, it's it's demeaning and it's degrading.
It's degrading.
Okay.
Anyway.
Well, anyway, we're going to be doing our Patreon Q and A later in the stream.
So far we only have eight questions, which is by no means satisfactory for me to do the Q and A.
So, if you are a patron and you want to ask a question,
You have about, I don't know, an hour, you know.
So I just wanna put that out there because I haven't done the Q and A in a very long time.
And the reason I haven't done it in a very long time is because I've been caught up with some shit.
As you may know, I'm
I've got a whole host of new responsibilities and stuff to deal with.
But in any case
I want to talk about just a general observation that I've been making.
Um
Which kind of has me at a loss for words at this point in the year 2025 in May going on June 2025.
I just don't know what to say anymore.
I don't, I don't know.
What's getting lost in translation?
A whole lot actually, but I'll just begin by saying this.
I mean, I don't mean to be a crybaby, but we are the most unfairly treated online community in the world ever in world history.
I'm not even kidding.
It is like.
Lawn guy, what's up?
It is so ridiculous to the point where
I I don't know what to say anymore.
I it's like nothing I say matters, apparently, or I don't know, maybe it does matter for some, but I will just be very direct and explicit about what our views are and where we stand on things.
And then I'll look at Reddits and I'll look at Facebook even and I'll look at
I'll look at just
Like anonymous comments ev and it's just like I see people type paragraphs on paragraphs.
The ACP are LaRoucheite Nazballs and they're fascists pretending to be communists and they all hate women and they hate gays and they hate everything and they're anti-Semitic and it's like
What am I supposed to even say anymore?
Like, what did we do that's wrong?
What did our party do that is even fucking wrong?
I don't.
I don't I don't know what to say.
Do you guys give it out like I don't know what I feel like this is automated, I feel like these are bots.
How how is this real people?
I always it's always what I I'm constantly seeing it just repeated over and over again.
Oh, the HCP is the worst on Reddit.
They're so bad.
They're so terrible.
They're the worst.
They're the worst.
And it's like, what did we fucking do that is wrong?
What did we do that is wrong?
What did we actually do that is wrong?
Jackson Hickel said this on a podcast three years ago.
Who gives a fuck?
Who gives a shit about a podcast three years ago?
What did we actually do as a party that's wrong, right?
But you know what I always get disappointed by, guys?
I always get disappointed
Oh my god, I went on Facebook just to browse and I saw this retard.
I don't know what his name is, I forgot.
I just typed our party.
And apparently, there's some random guy on Facebook.
They do the same thing that they're doing on Twitter.
We're barely on Facebook, right?
He goes, Look at what the ACP is saying.
And it's some random fucking guy that's beefing with him in his comments that I don't recognize who said something about your skull shape is weird.
I don't know what it was.
He's like, This is what the ACP believes.
They're Nazis who believe.
I don't know what to say anymore.
I don't know what's going on.
No one else gets treated this way.
It's baffling.
I want to stop thinking I'm crazy.
I want sociologists and fuck it, archaeologists, everything.
Get the experts to come down and observe this really strange, bizarre sociological phenomena of ACP derangement syndrome.
It's not rational.
It doesn't make any fucking sense.
It doesn't matter how much I clarify things.
It doesn't matter how much I communicate things.
Every week I hold a space called Confront the Chairman.
Confront me with these claims and see if they hold the scrutiny, right?
And all we get is a guy from the opposition who talks about women's genitals.
Every week, that's all that we get.
That's all that happens.
And I'm just starting to wonder if this is real or not.
And if it is real, I want to know the psychology because I'm almost fascinated by it.
But I'm like, I don't feel like I speak the same language as these people anymore.
I'll be like, have you read Dugan?
And it's like, okay, what is Dugan's relationship to the National Bolshevik Party in the 1990s?
And they don't know anything.
It's like they're just not educated about anything.
And I'll be like, okay.
But Dugan is just someone that I've read and I think that has some worthwhile insights in the same way Marx and Lenin and every other Marxist thinker in history drew from the insights of non-Marxists and even people who had very politically problematic like, okay, look, I sound so rational and I'm cringing now.
Because it's like my mind has been conditioned to think that being irrational is actually how you break through to people.
Because what I just told you right now, I keep saying it over and over again.
But it's too rational, apparently.
Like, it's just like, apparently, it's just cringe to be rational and reasonable.
You know, I don't know what to say anymore.
But it's really fucking crazy.
It's really fucking crazy.
It's almost scary.
Do you wanna know the even more disturbing part?
Every single, all of this derangement about us, all of it.
You're not going to believe me if I told you this, all of it.
It all comes from two individuals.
Two hyper-autistic individuals who may or may not have connections to the federal government.
We're gonna find out.
But two individuals are the source of all of this.
All of this craziness and insanity from day one since the time of the MAGA communism thing, two people are the source of all of this.
Just two.
And we are suing both of them.
We're taking both to court.
But how fucking crazy is that?
Two people are the source of every crazy bullshit thing that's said about us.
It all goes back to these two people.
All of it.
And that is very bizarre that two people would have the dedication to do that for years.
They have their own party.
Their party's nothing.
They have done nothing to build it up.
They've accomplished nothing at all politically.
All they have done is dedicate their entire lives to fabricating a false representation of what our movement is.
And ACP launches, and it's like a total clean slate, and it didn't matter.
Somehow, the ACP was guilty of a our website was from Langley!
Oh my god, it was from all these things.
They had a van.
It's a government van.
It's like you could not expect, you could not even foresee, you could not even foresee these things they make up.
They fabricate reality in this way.
We need to uncover it, and we're gonna uncover it.
I have a hard time believing these are just two people with a lot of time on their hands.
That's all I'm gonna say.
But if it's my last dying breath, I'm gonna uncover how this happened.
Because it's fucking insane.
It is fucking crazy.
And every single one of you should be on the same page as me here.
Till your last dying breath, find out what the fuck is going on with this.
Because this is fucking crazy.
Right?
I mean, you could, you, I'll say one thing and it just like it comes out a completely different reality.
Like, what is going on?
I mean, our party has done nothing but good deeds.
And you go and you go on Reddit, and it's like we are the worst villains.
We are worse than Hitler in these people's minds.
And what have we done to deserve that?
Like, literally, what have we fucking done?
Nothing, right?
It's actually crazy.
It's actually insanity.
Like, oh, it's it's LaRushite, it's Dugan, it's it's it's uh it's all Nazis, it's all this, it's all that, and it's like, what the fuck are you talking about?
Anyway, guys, I want to tell you though, I'm always getting so disappointed whenever I just don't see people correcting the record.
Yeah, we're all exhausted seeing this shit, but you know what?
It fucking helps.
It fucking helps if you just go in there and clear the record.
It really, you may not think it, you may think it doesn't help, but it does.
It really fucking does when you go in there and clear the record.
It really fucking does help.
And trust me, I'm tempted to do it myself, but I'm the fucking chairman of the ACP and I'm the head of this movement.
It would look really fucking stupid.
The day that I need to go into fucking comments and start arguing with people is the day this movement doesn't deserve to exist.
It's on you guys to do that shit.
For real.
The day that I have to do it, it's like, what am I fucking doing here anymore?
I may as well just fucking go, you know, disappear and go write a book.
You know, you guys are the ones who know the truth.
Defend your truth because this is you guys who are getting under attack, you know?
Um
You do it again, most of them block.
And that's the crazy.
I get it.
It's fucking crazy.
Like, I get it because a lot of people pathologically want to believe this shit.
It's not that they're forced to believe it.
It's not that they're compelled to believe it.
For some strange fucking reason that I just cannot explain, they want to believe it.
They want to believe it.
And you will literally present them with a reasonable response and they'll fucking block you or on Reddit, you'll get negative of one hundred and seventy two down votes or down dutes.
And I'm like, why?
W what that guy was right.
Why did he get so down duted, down voted, whatever they fucking call it?
Why like what the hell is going on?
Why is it so fucking hard to listen?
Like, does anyone feel like it's crazy at this point?
Like,.
Holy shit, it's always the same.
It's like these are fake communists and all they do is attack barista It's like when have we ever in real life attacked a barista organizing anything?
When have we ever in r i some people on X trolling doesn't fucking mean anything, right?
Um, and it's like they'll take the smallest thing, and that's that's they'll use it to represent everything that we are, right?
But we will take a post from them that has 5,000 likes calling for our murder, and they'll be like, Oh, that's just like a troll, it's not it's on like the double standard is what really is killing me.
It's like there's no accountability on their side.
There is literally a guy who would regularly, from their side, threaten to rape and kill our female comrades, our women comrades.
Who do we have to fucking blame for that?
Because if there was one person on our side who was like that, our whole movement would get blamed for it, right?
Where's the accountability for them?
There is none.
Because they're a bunch of disgusting, filthy individualists who think that they're only responsible for what they do individually, and there's no sense of collective responsibility for anything.
And we are guilty because we do have the minimum of collective responsibility of being guilty and being represented on the basis of these fringe, marginal exceptions that every so often rep our colors.
And
It doesn't matter if upon f noticing it we crack down on it and and we correct it, it doesn't matter.
Like the very fact that we don't have that a collective doesn't have the telepathic ability to make sure that every single person who so dares to signify that they associate with it, the fact that you can't ensure absolute 100% conformity, it's like, and this is why these people, by the way, cannot form organizations.
The PSL, look, the truth is the truth.
The PSL is was full, if not is still full of sex pests, all sorts of creepy, weird fucks, criminals.
And should the PSL be blamed for that as a whole?
You know, when why is that standard not applied to them?
Because we have nothing like that in our movement, but they have so much of it in theirs, and the standard is never applied to them.
They can do no wrong, even for the worst egregious crimes.
Meanwhile, all we do is good, and nothing we do is good.
Everything we do is bad.
Objectively, we're only doing good things.
But every we are just bad.
We're the worst.
There's nothing redeemable about us.
There's no, it's black and white.
We are absolutely the untouchables, the Dalits on this nebulous.
you know, social media ideology fucking pyramid of, you know, I don't know, pan-leftists.
Like we are the worst thing ever.
And it's like, it does make sense to me.
And it should make sense to you.
Because the truth is, that's what would happen to a real motherfucker.
That's what would happen to an actual Communist Party and an actual Communist movement that has actually been fucking identified and detected as an actual threat to the system.
That's exactly what they're gonna fucking do.
They're gonna make sure that you're ostracized, that you're blacklisted, that you're fucking untouchable.
And it makes total of just think about this.
Imagine if there was an equivalent of us in Russia.
Like, but it was opposed to the state.
Like, it was a pro-Western, like, I don't know, like, of course, over in Russia, they would make sure that you know those people are suppressed in some kind of way.
They would do it more honestly by just jailing them.
But here in the USA, look at, think about who we are, right?
Our May Day rally, we have the North Korea flag.
We're going, I'm going to Russia pretty often last year.
I mean, three times, whatever.
Went to Donbass twice.
We're openly supporters of China, supporters of Russia, supporters of the DAPRK, the resistance.
I mean, we are the epitome of a real left-wing opposition, just straight up, right?
So, why wouldn't they be doing everything in their fucking power to destroy our reputation in this way?
That's not what drives me a little bit crazy, okay?
The thing that drives me a little bit crazy is not that this is happening, it's that so few people can recognize it for what it is, just because they're unprincipled.
So few people never thank you so much, Slav.
I appreciate it.
So few people take the time to take a step back and be like, you know what?
It's pretty fucking crazy how much the ACP is like misrepresented and maligned in this way.
For w for nothing, right?
It's so few people who do that.
And that is what I find very disturbing.
I find it really disturbing how easy it is for ninety five percent of leftists to be manipulated in the ways that they are.
Where they'll be on Reddit and they'll see how much like we're hated and it's so popular to hate us, but nobody will ever think critically about it.
Nobody like thinks critically about like okay, ma wait, there's something a little weird about this.
N you know, nobody ever thinks, huh, w would wouldn't this happen to a real Communist Party though, that's actually a threat to the system?
Wouldn't this exactly be what's happening to them?
I kid you not, these people have this idea in their head.
That if you're genuinely a critic of the system and if you're genuinely like a a a threat to the American government.
And you're genuinely like considered opposition, that you're just gonna like walk through it like Hassan Piker.
That's what they think.
I'm not kidding.
They're like, You know, Hassan Piker is really uh he's on the front page of Twitch and I watch him and he's so principled and he's really uh ha huh.
It's like Mickey Mouse.
Hassan Piker is really uh
He's really a a critic of the system.
And that's what they think.
They think like that's how it would work.
That you would just watch it would just be a breeze.
Oh, yeah, because I'm the New York Times and it's the Guardian, it's all okay.
That's what they think.
They think it's gonna be like that.
They think that if and and oh, Pat Sucks!
Those freaking MAGA Douganas!
Those freaking LaRushians!
That was faking ACP?
Everyone hates them and it's because it's just authentically what we all decided to do because we're all authentically uh arriving at this conclusion b based on the uh stoic and impersonal use of deductive reasoning We all just rationally arrived at this conclusion, right?
No, you tell me you tell me you tell me did everyone just rationally arrive at this conclusion really
Please, yeah.
Everyone just rationally just re they really thought about it and it was really like a real impersonal, rational, fact-based, evidence-based procedure of reasoning and so on.
Did you see the ADL attack?
They've attacked me multiple times.
Is there anything new?
Did they attack me recently?
Um A.
D.
L.
I'm so sick of this dumb shit that I deal with.
It's like so fucking stupid.
If ADL attacked me
If you're just referring to what they wrote like
Oh, is it is it on the Hassan Piker?
No way.
They didn't put me there.
They didn't put me there.
They did!
They did!
They put me on their latest blog.
Oh, what an honor!
It's very rare.
Why didn't I make a tweet of this?
Swaths of anti-Zionist movement legitimize killings of.
I did not legitimize anything, but let's see what they accuse me of.
Hazal Deen, one of the founding members of the American Communist Party, whose openly pro-terror activities, including attending former Hezbollah, as they say it, Hezbollah.
Leader's funeral in Lebanon commented: I do not support or encourage violence.
However, Zionists have no moral right to stand on.
Well, that is correct.
And I'm not legitimizing anything.
I said I didn't condone violence, but they don't, you know.
Wow, so I was included.
That's interesting.
Screen share.
Okay, sure.
You can just trust me though, but apparently you can't.
Okay, I'll screen share it.
No problem.
Uh
I see beams of green Rand roses too Thy rhythm There And I think to myself
What a wonderful world.
I got truth teller no canonist saying I'm a Jew I got the A D L
Sayin'
I'm anti-Semitic, and I think to myself.
What a wonderful world I got leftists saying we're white Nazis calling us brown
Both of them together.
Hating us for literal opposite reasons, and I think to myself.
What a wonderful world.
He got Drew Pavloo Lip Tards too Sayin' I'm FSB Working for China too But then Autistic Johnny Says that I'm CIA What a wonderful world
It's almost like
The federal government has ensured.
That every online political community
is hating us and isolating us.
What a wonderful world!
What a wonderful world.
What a wonderful world.
Imagine being me.
Imagine being Hazaldine.
Imagine being me.
Imagine being me.
Imagine living my life.
Imagine how crazy it is to be someone in my shoes.
Now think about this.
Think about this.
Or be tall with the ten.
Imagine this.
I want you to think about the insanity of my life.
Imagine me trying to explain to a normal person.
My life and my position in this discourse.
Imagine how difficult that is for me to explain to normal people.
What the fuck is up?
With how I have all these people claiming I'm a Jew.
I have the Jewish, I guess, nationalists, whatever you call them, Zionists.
I have Zionists claiming that I'm a rabid anti-Semite.
Um the ADL attacking me.
I've got you know the these these leftists saying that we we are a CIA operation.
And it's not like that does us any favors because the actual CIA people who are openly CIA, I mean, these leftists are CIA as well, but they claim that we're just FSB and that we work for Russia and we work for China and that we work for Iran and so on and so on.
And, um,
It's like ah.
You've got Jacob from Lost or Lucifer, the actor from Lucifer, constantly attacking us.
We are being attacked from every direction, literally every direction.
And I feel like I'm just the only sane person that is left in the world, you know, when it comes to politics, online political discourse.
That's the truth.
I mean, someone who is the victim of such insanity cannot help but seem insane themselves.
But imagine you're me and you know the truth.
Imagine you know the truth.
You want to know what drives me crazy?
It's not even the attacks on me.
The attacks on me, whatever, right?
What drives me crazy are the attacks on Jackson.
You see, I told you about Londonistanis, right?
Well, I want to show you something much worse than a Landunistani, okay?
I want to show you something much worse.
Okay?
This is the most disgusting, abominable, like, ew, disgusting, like, not even human creature I've ever seen.
It's not a Londonistani, it's an Australistan.
Not Australistani, the donator, but this is disgusting.
Like, this is like the Australian version of a Londonistani, right?
He's like a pro-FSA, pro-ISIS, pro-al-Qaeda.
As a journalist, since he sounds like this.
Hinkle never once mentioned Palestine.
He's a fucking Australian ISIS freak.
In public.
And look who he cites in his attacks on Jackson.
Hold on.
Oh, this this clip taken out of context.
Guess who took this clip?
Guess who clipped this out of context?
There's somebody who's going to be like, they're going to go out, and it's going to be on their tombstone that this was their greatest accomplishment, was just slandering Jackson.
You know?
And they're just it's gonna their greatest life's accomplishment was literally slandering and libeling.
An honest actor.
And I, you know, there's so much.
It's like, what can I say?
What can I say?
All I could say is it makes me feel crazy.
Jason, that I know the fucking truth.
I know who Jackson is, and I know the truth.
And this is.
And I and it's like
This is what they're saying about him.
You know, that he works for Tulsi Gabbard and all this fucking nonsense that was made up by this schizophrenic.
And look at this.
Where he tells the the world that the genocide in Gaza was a godsend for him.
But he never said that to the New York Times.
He told the New York Times that Elon Musk instituting free speech was a godsend for him.
And they misquoted him and took him out of context in a smear piece.
And made it and tried to make it seem like he was talking about the Gaza genocide.
So, this is something I know firsthand, right?
But no, let's just assume the New York Times is going to be honest about people that they want, about people that are genuinely, genuinely opposed to the system.
You can think what you want about Jackson, but someone who is genuinely opposed to the system is going to be misrepresented, not faithfully given a puff piece like Hassan Piker in the New York Times.
Hassan Piker's thing in the New York Times, you know what the New York Times said about Hassan Piker?
They made a title, they called it A Progressive Mind in a MAGA Body.
What?
What the fuck is that?
You know?
Um but uh you know it's like
You know, I get angry at Jackson.
You can ask him.
I literally get pissed at him because he lets these lies flow like this.
And I'm like, dude, how do you let people get away with saying that about you?
And he's like, oh, I don't care.
And it's like, yeah, but like, it's really fucking unfair.
It's really fucking unfair.
It's really, really fucking unfair.
You know, it's extremely unfair.
If you know how dirty they done him.
It's really fucking unfair and disgusting, right?
But
You know, look, um
Y it's something that makes sense logically, but you're never gonna understand it until you see it first hand.
We actually live in an empire of lies.
And they, you know, there's, I wonder if the engineers behind this.
I began as a very strong theoretical supporter of Russia and China, just purely based on my thoughts, right?
But I didn't, in my soul and in my heart of hearts, become Putin's strongest soldier until I started witnessing with my own eyes the empire of lies, how I was caught in the thick of it, how they started the same thing they do to Russia and all these, they do it to me.
Like I saw how that works firsthand.
And until you have first-hand experience, every single one of you, just by nature, could never comprehend how much we live in a fabricated reality that is nothing but lies.
You'll never understand that until you're in the thick of it.
You'll never understand it.
You will never understand how much it's just a false, fake, completely fabricated and artificial reality.
CJ Werleman, he got a twelve minute video with sixty thousand views, claiming that Jackson works for the US Army.
And it is a lie.
And the only person, one of the only people in the world who knows that with im empirically is me.
That is fucking crazy, right?
And that fact makes me angry, and that fact
Makes me hate the empire of lies.
Real hatred.
It fuels...
For me, I don't want to be a hateful person.
I hate the empire of lies.
I hate it.
I hate the fact that I have to carry the burden of being one of the few people who empirically know the truth.
And even you, my audience, don't know the truth as much as I do.
If at least five hundred other people
Knew the truth, I would rest better, right?
It is so fucked up and disgusting.
It is, it's not just the lie that's disgusting, it's the air of ambiguity.
The fact that there's genuinely people who are like, oh, I don't know, it could be true.
No, it cannot.
It cannot, it can, it cannot be true.
It is not true.
It's black and white.
It's not true.
It was made up.
It's the fact there's so many people who are like, oh, maybe, maybe, maybe.
No, no fucking maybe.
This was made up.
This was total, total.
I have the hiccups.
It was totally made up.
Totally fucking made up.
Um, for real.
For real.
Just totally fucking made up, right?
And
Again, that's why you gotta take this shit to court.
There's no other you, it's like you gotta take it to court.
You gotta take it.
It's the only fucking thing you can do.
It's the only fucking option you have is to take it to court.
It's fucking crazy, right?
I mean CJ, no, we're not, you know, I'm not gonna fucking sue him in Australian court.
But there's a handful of people that we have our eye on that we are absolutely going to follow through with.
Um
If it's the last thing I do, you know.
But it's insanity.
It's insanity.
You know, it's one of the things that, as somebody who is never an influencer or a prolific personality,
It's one of the things I always wanted to just see for myself, which is like, okay, I'm a spectator and I'm in the audience, right?
That was me for like my whole life, right?
I'm a spectator, I'm in the audience.
I don't know what's the truth for real.
I don't know what's like bullshit, right?
And one of the things that was on my bucket list, I guess, was that I wanted to just see like for myself what the actual truth is, you know?
So I thought to myself, I'm like, okay, hypothetically, let's say I launch a YouTube channel, and in good faith, I communicate absolutely what my position is.
And I I present it meticulously and and rationally and and and it's just with with with an absolute irrefutable argumentation that leaves no room for ambiguity as far as what my position is.
Is it even conceivable or fathomable that if I started a movement on the basis
Of these insights into the problems and defects of contemporary left-wing politics, that it could be misrepresented and maligned.
To what extent can it, right?
And I will admit one thing: going in, I was so fucking naive about it.
I was like, there's no fucking way they can make up, down, and east, west, and you know, black, white.
But they did.
That's what they do.
That's what they fucking did.
And you always look for the grain of truth, even in a lie, but it's like what
It is crazy.
It's crazy how it works.
It's almost, it felt automated.
Right in the beginning, by the way, I'm talking about right in the beginning.
It felt like there was an automated response that was highly effective, that acts as a great filter, which 99% of people cannot pass through.
Now, why was I able to pass through the great filter?
Well, because I'm fucking crazy, you know?
Because I'm crazy.
But
You you th you'd think that, oh, this is a this is a free and open exchange of ideas.
You could just go to the marketplace of ideas and be honest about your position.
And it will be you know, it'll be you'll be judged and uh you know.
You'll incur responses that are proportionate to what you've put out, but that's not how it fucking works at all.
And only when you're sitting where I'm sitting, only when you see things from my perspective, will you know the truth?
Which is that every single top leftist content creator and influencer is a sociopath with a reptilian brain who is absolutely ruthless, calculating, and methodical when it comes to the social games that they play to ensure that they are in the right place within the human centipede of content creators and influencers.
How much they play is safe, how much they manipulate, how much they, you know.
They make the right connections and they signal the right ways.
And nothing is based on principle.
It's all based on, you know, who you're friends with.
And it's just how everything in life works, I guess.
But I thought it would be different when it comes to the ideas.
Or the principles of Marxism.
I thought that when it came to the principles of Marxism, it couldn't possibly be
you know, d um defiled in this way, but it it is.
It's just how it works, you know.
Ev but every single smiling face that you see who's an influencer, who's a leftist influencer, every single they they may
Only Haas knows this.
You don't know this as the audience.
Only I know it.
They are all snakes.
They are all disgusting, disgusting snakes.
They are filthy, rotten, sociopathic, Machiavellian people.
And the front that they're putting up in front of the camera is not who they actually fucking are.
They move so coldly and mechanically, it'll fucking bath, it'll baffle you how much.
The way they move is so dishonest.
In comparison, and they trick tens, hundreds of thousands of people into thinking that they're so wholesome and they're so genuine and they're so sincere and they're so authentic.
But in reality, all they're doing is fucking really coldly and ruthlessly maneuvering their way and climbing their way through a social space, networking with bigger influencers and NGOs and all these fucking institutional.
I mean, it's just like it is like a brown-nosing competition.
It's really disgusting, really fucking disgusting.
None of them are motivated by principle at all.
And um, and you don't know that until you see it from my perspective.
When you see it from Haas's perspective, I'll tell you why.
Because when I was starting out, I just in good faith, I was a normal chill dude, completely normal, chill dude, right?
The way in which you get distorted and misrepresented and all this crazy shit.
You have two options.
You bow.
Or you stand your ground, right?
You stand your ground, you're looking for trouble.
You acquiesce, congratulations, you know, you sold out.
And no, as somebody who did not sell out.
I know for a fact that the same choice I had to make, everyone else had to make that choice.
And it's abundantly fucking clear what choice that they made.
It's abundantly fucking clear to me, you know?
It is abundantly fucking clear what choice they made.
And um
Yeah.
No, it's just fucking crazy.
No, I've noticed.
I've noticed a lot of large left influencers are starting to attack and go after China now because they got the go-ahead, and I'll tell you why they got the go-ahead, because of that bullshit that was misrepresented and taken out of context from us.
The whole reason these people started to pretend to be pro-China is.
Was because somewhere in the the chain of command, I'm not saying all of them were given the order, but somewhere in the chain of command, the strategy was basically to do not allow the infrared and the the the ACP people to be um affiliated with China.
Don't allow that to happen, right?
Isolate them from China, right?
And that was an international campaign of slander, too, by the way.
Uh that you know, it was it was international.
It was like a strategy they were pursuing.
As soon as the Danny Shaw, the Fed um gave them the go-ahead to leak that shit out of context,
All these other influencers were like, okay, so China truly has no friends.
So I'm going to start shitting on China, which is what they always wanted to do.
They've always hated China.
They always wanted to shit on and criticize China, right?
But they were afraid to do it because they know Infrared or ACP would come and check them and call them out for their lack of principle and call them out for their bullshit, right?
So the whole purpose of that that that um
That slander they tried to throw on us was to basically destroy, make sure China has no friends at all, right?
And they're wrong, of course, because we will we will still
Defend China no matter what.
Any misunderstanding or miscommunication or any disappointment that we have with anyone in China doesn't fucking matter.
We're going to defend China all the same, right?
But they got to go ahead and now they're starting to turn on China and attack China, you know?
And what can we say for our part?
And by the way, this would be the same thing when it comes to Marxism, Leninism and pro-Stalin.
If we the minute we fall, the minute if we we won't fall, but if that ever happens and we're eliminated, like let's say we all get killed in one night, and we are no longer Stalin's biggest defenders, you will see very clearly in real time how in the discourse the tides will turn against Stalin's memory.
See what you see in the discourse now, I want to tell you about the Fed strategy against us.
It's really obvious how it works.
But I want to explain it to you guys because it's just intuitive to me.
It may not be intuitive to you, right?
So basically how it works.
is you basically got you know you've got a
Okay, let's just
Okay, let's just have squares, right?
Prefer circles, but
Just do this, right?
So this is us.
Let's just, this is us, right?
We are the actual threat, right?
Um
What they do is a kind of mirroring.
So we'll have a really solid, strong position on something, whether it's Stalin, it's China, or anything else, right?
What they'll do is that they'll mirror it, right, in the discourse.
It's just like use yellow or something.
They'll mirror it in the discourse.
So look, the majority so
So that it is i ultimately the people that are promoted, the majority of them, are the ones who are ineffective and have no chance of let's just say they have
Buck, why isn't my fucking keyboard working?
Okay.
say zero percent chance of um
So they they have zero percent chance, right?
So this is the D program guys, this is Hassan Piker, this is all these people, right?
We let's say to be generous, we have a forty five percent chance, right?
It it all it only it just has to be more
Then it just has to be more than zero for it to matter, right?
We'll take a solid and strong position.
It'd be China, it'll be Stalin, it'll be anything.
And what they'll do is they'll mirror it such that the discourse gets carried by people who are ineffective in terms of drawing concrete conclusions from it that will actually make it decisive.
So if war breaks out with China, guess what?
You know, all these people that pretend to be sympathetic with China in the past who are now turning on China, they're not going to be effective allies of China if that happens.
We are, right?
So the whole purpose is to isolate us into this little corner and mirror our discourse in a really tame and timid form in an environment where the overall majority of people, there's a 0% chance of it ever actually becoming real.
So they have a controlled opposition, basically, right?
They've got a controlled opposition.
And
But here's how it works, you know?
Even though this might look crazy, I guess.
Here's how it works.
You've got this controlled opposition, and if we ever, ever decide, you know, that, you know, something happens that makes it seem like, okay, we're no longer pro-Stalin, we're no longer pro-China, what's going to end up happening is the mirror effect is going to disappear.
So the minute they start thinking that, you know, oh, we've successfully ruined their relation with China, they haven't, by the way.
But when they think that, the coast is now clear to go back to pre-infrared BreadTube days where everyone's shitting on and attacking China all the time.
The coast is clear, guys.
We can go back to the default state.
No need for this mirroring.
So it's the same thing with Stalin.
Right now, you'll see in the discourse, a lot more leftists have claimed to be more sympathetic with Stalin, right?
But once, if they ever eliminated infrared or ACP, the overwhelming majority of the discourse will be defined in the exact same way as it was before we came onto the scene.
Pro-Trotskyite.
As a matter of fact, it's starting to become more pro-Trotskyite, right?
But absolutely, we are the main fucking character.
We take these radical left-wing positions.
That changed the Overton window, and we are the only anchor.
If we're gone, all these opportunists.
Who are pretending to be just as radical as we are in order to not appear as if they're the sellouts that they are, they'll finally be like the coast is clear, we can now shit on Stalin, we can now shit on Mao, we can now attack China.
They'll all just become left comms, right?
And that's what will happen.
That's exactly what we know from experience.
So, um
What can I say?
That's what we can say with experience.
So, um yeah, I mean all the pro all the things that are moving the Overton window, it's all us.
And it's literal proof.
All this shit that they're doing attacking China has only started after they created this false perception that we had a rift with China.
As soon as they tried to create that false perception, other people got the go-ahead to start shitting on China.
You know, let me now let me tell you this dumb retard, Vanessa Hughes.
And her criticism of China that, oh, you know, China's trading with Israel.
Why is China still trading with Israel?
If one billion Muslims will not lift a finger for Palestine, why would China?
Where's Pakistan?
Where's the Arabs?
Where's Egypt?
Where's Saudi Arabia?
Where's Jordan?
Where's Syria?
Where's Iraq?
Do I need to keep going?
If the people that are supposed to be the custodians and protectors of the Palestinian people, which is the Arab and Muslim people, will not lift a finger for Palestine.
Is China going to come in and conquer the Middle East and deal with that whole mess?
No.
China i it's not China's backyard, it's not China's region.
China has done much more than it has to in terms of pragmatism to give their solidarity with the Palestinian people.
But it's on the Arabs and the Muslims in general.
to protect Palestine.
And they deserve the blame.
And of course people they'll say, well, what about America?
Of course America but that's a given.
It's a given that the imperialist European and Western powers want to destroy and plunder the Middle East.
That's a given.
Okay?
But now a and and and don't well, well it's just the governments and it's the CIA.
Really?
How many fucking idiot brain dead fucking retard sectarians do you see on Twitter?
And I'm that discourse is very, very prominent in these countries.
You know, all these Ikhwanis and these FSA fucks and these Gulf retards and all these fucking morons and fuck it, even Shias too, who are the ones that attacked me.
You know, fuck them, you know, the ones that attacked me.
All these people.
Um
Even even these pro-establishment Shias, you know, these sellouts.
They have justified ideologically and discursively and rationally that disgusting sellout.
Comprador position that has sold out the Palestinian people.
And what does that mean?
And people think they're smart.
They think they're smart.
When they hear me yell and say,
There must be Marxism.
All these old ideologies have failed.
There now must be Marxism.
They say this is idealism, Haas.
Are you no, no, no, you're a fucking retard.
You're acting like I haven't thought this through.
I've thought it through.
I've thought it through.
And the facts are as follows.
The decisive element
When it comes to any kind of change in the region that is necessary for the defense of the Palestinian people, is the mobilization of the people.
And none of the leading intelligentsia, and none of the leading thought leaders, and none of the leading paradigms have been successful in doing that.
On behalf of Palestine.
Why?
Because they cannot affect regional unity.
Hezbollah really tried very hard.
But Hezbollah will always have the defect of being projected upon them that they're just for Shias.
And it's not their fault.
But that's the reality, it is just not inclusive enough for the entire region to rally under that banner.
Iran has tried very hard to unite the region, and they can't shake off the sectarianism.
Why?
Because they have an Islamic ideology.
But their Islamic ideology happens to be Shia, right?
So this is the problem.
And it's not Iran's fault necessarily, but it does reflect the objective fact that there lacks a unifying paradigm.
And it's a fact, there's no unifying paradigm.
Arab nationalism is not a unifying paradigm because of the problem with the Kurds, because of Iran itself, because of Turkey.
So Arab nationalism is not a unifying paradigm.
The only possible unifying paradigm from the region can come from Marxism.
That's it.
That's it, only Marxism can create a unifying paradigm.
And um
And it makes total sense because China would look like the Middle East today, Russia would look like the Middle East today, and partially starting to.
Were it not for the fact of Marxism.
Were it not for the fact of the leadership of communist parties.
Why do people act like I'm fucking crazy somehow when I say that?
Why do people act like I'm an ideological fanatic when I point out this objective truth?
Every single major, large, continuous empire fell.
All of them.
And the only ones that preserved their territorial integrity.
We're the ones
That were overthrown by Marxists.
Or, inherited by Marxists.
The Russian Empire preserved its territorial integrity because of the Bolsheviks.
The Chini China, the Qing Empire, to a much lesser extent, preserved its territorial integrity.
Oh it was being Balkanized in the warlord only the Communists reunified China.
So the Ottoman Empire did not have a Bolshevik revolution.
It didn't have a Marxist revolution.
Cardi, what's up?
So the Ottoman Empire looks like what it does today for a fucking reason, right?
Hey, Yugoslavia.
Yeah, of course.
Of course.
I mean, this is not a crazy observation to make.
This is just common fucking sense.
The Middle East is the shitty mess that it is today.
And before you say it's 'cause of colonialism, we know.
We know.
But given colonialism, how do you get yourself out of a mess like that?
Well, the only proven solution is Marxism.
People go, Haas, that's you're a fucking retard.
You know, the people that criticize me, they're like, Haz, that's Trotskyism.
Hey, retard, I was you five years ago.
I was you six years ago.
You're not smart.
You're acting like I somehow haven't thought this through and that's why I spit in your dumb, retarded, drooling, idiot face.
Your cattle-like expression of emptiness that's on your face is because you couldn't fathom the possibility that I thought of that already, right?
Somehow I haven't thought this through.
Comprehensively, you know, that Marxism of some kind is the solution.
And it seems simplistic, but it's actually the fucking truth.
Now, is it going to be a Marxism that looks like anything we're familiar with?
Absolutely not.
It's going to be a Marxism that is so radically adapted to that region and its history that the gatekeepers of Marxism globally will condemn it as a heretical whatever.
And just like they do infrared, by the way, you know.
But but that's it would be it will be so radically unfamiliar to established gatekeeping Marxists, but that is the solution.
It is absolutely the solution.
Um
You know, um
You need to understand something about imperialism, okay?
European imperialism is not all powerful.
Western imperialism Amila, thank you so much for the ten.
Western imperialism is not all powerful.
Heed my words very carefully.
Western imperialism is not all powerful.
Rather, Western imperialism takes advantage of the existential confusion and turmoil that is brought upon its victims as a consequence of what we call modernity.
As soon as these mass swaths of people
get their shit together, imperialism instantly, like that, becomes a paper tiger.
Okay?
When a billion people get their shit together,
The parasitism of a stupid small country in Europe becomes like that.
Okay, I'm not hating on Portugal, but think about this for a second.
How does Portugal, a tiny, you know, whatever micro-nothing, conquer and take over such large, huge swaths of land and terra all over the world?
How does that happen, right?
How does Britain do that?
How do all these stupid, shitty small countries do that?
Right?
It's because in these large, continuous Asian civilizations, there's this huge existential.
confusion that takes hold, that that throws the tradition of state into disarray and leaves people in conf it's it's like everything Fanon describes, right?
And it's like
As soon as they get their shit together, it's not fucking rocket science that 1 billion people will eat 30 million for breakfast.
It's not rocket science.
It's like the Western imperialism, it's like a small mouse that scares an elephant.
The elephant has no self-awareness or self-consciousness.
So the elephant is like going crazy.
It seems like it's under control.
The mouse is laughing.
As soon as that elephant gets its shit together and like comprehends correctly and understands what's what's going on It's not fucking rocket science how that elephant comes to stomp the shit out of that mouse and and and and win okay, so when I say the problem
In the Middle East i i is internal.
It's not because I'm saying American imperialism doesn't exist.
That's a given.
Given the facts of imperialism, what is the false consciousness prevailing that is preventing a unifying principle from mobilizing the masses and the people, regardless of religious sectarianism, to liberate Palestine?
That's the preeminent question.
By the way, this principle - guess what also applies to class struggle?
The working class is also an elephant.
You know.
So much to think on and reflect on.
Okay, we have nine questions.
Uh we have two options.
I can give you guys uh till Tuesday to ask these questions or I could just answer them now and you have to wait a month.
Do you guys want until Tuesday to ask and r and think about more questions?
Or should I just knock them out now and answer them now?
Ones for now, two's to wait for Tuesday to give people more time.
If I answer now, there's only nine questions.
If I answer now, then guess what?
Only one month from now will I do another QA.
Uh it looks pretty split to me.
Can I run a poll?
I'm gonna run a poll.
Uh
Alright, I'm gonna run it for two minutes.
Alright, I created a pool.
Remember, if I do it now, only one month from now.
Will I do it again?
Okay.
So, and there's only nine.
So, people can either have more time.
Or uh they will have no time and they have to wait one month.
If you ask me what I think
Let's give people more time because
Um
This morning was the only heads up that I gave.
I gave people like only hours to ask a question.
Um
So at least another day or two I think would be fair.
But I want to make sure that the patrons
themselves primarily are fine with that.
Because that makes more sense to me, you know?
'Cause these are going to be monthly.
Yeah.
I'm just reading Trump's tweet.
What were the results?
I didn't even see them.
50-50.
Yeah, we're gonna wait till Tuesday, guys.
You know, and you know why?
Because how the how the patrons need to decide, all right?
Who the fuck said y'all get to decide, you fucking hungry ma hung ye ye hungry and tired masses.
We just want content.
Not the
Not the paying customers of the Patreon.
Uh but anyway, look uh Donald Trump he goes I've always he's saying that Putin went crazy.
Outside.
Oh man, Putin, give them hell, Putin.
Give them hell.
Fuck.
I can't tell you guys.
I can't tell you guys these disgusting, filthy, NAFO, Azoff, pro-Ukraine pieces of shit, how much hell they've given me.
Mad!
What's up?
I think that there is a really disgusting, hateful
dark ideology that has taken root in Ukraine that is primarily interested in the slaughter and murder of Russians.
It has no notion of the value of life.
It has completely disregarded that.
And it frankly, the denazification is absolutely necessary in my view.
Um
Show request.
Mm-hmm.
Watch from the one hour mark.
Alright.
Alright, here's Vijay Prashad.
I hope I'm getting mentioned in this, and it's you know, because you're telling me to watch this.
Marxism, not just as a science of understanding society, but a way of living in the world, how to be a person, you know.
And he, I think, fashioned himself as somebody to emulate.
And in the whole world, I mean, we all emulated him.
We all wanted to be like Fidel.
You know, if you had gave me a choice, would you rather be like Che Guevara or Fidel?
I would say it's an unfair choice.
But I emulated Fidel.
I wanted to build something.
It's really hard to build socialism.
Really, really hard.
And I admire people like Lenin, Mao, Fidel.
These people who were given the responsibility.
I don't like this dichotomy at all, but to be clear about something, Che built.
Or, at least, was very important for building the revolution.
Okay, Che's foco theory.
You know, I've started to study foco theory, which is something I dismissed in my youth.
And I actually never got back to it because I was just like, oh, whatever, it's just, you know, adventurism.
But I started studying foco theory.
Foco theory.
Chris, what's up?
I want you guys to keep in mind that I have not comprehensively, maybe I'm saying it wrong.
You know, I've never heard it said.
I've never heard it, I just have s read it.
Chay's theory of revolution, right?
How do you say it, is it Foso or is it Foco?
I'm pretty sure it's Foco, right?
Am saying it correct?
Foco, okay.
So Foco is a very profound uh uh um it's like Maoism.
It's a very um profound um elaboration upon Maoism, which is even more explicit than Maoism.
And um
You know, Che was so decisive for the Cuban Revolution.
And did you know there was a conflict in Cuba between the glasses wearers in Havana and the
The farmers in the countryside that Che was mobilizing through Foco, his Foco Theory.
There was a conflict between Che and the Glasses Wearers.
Che fought against the revisionist glasses wearers, right?
So Che is very important for the Cuban Revolu there would have been no Cuban Revolution without that strategy.
But foco theory, it's not worthy of dismiss.
Some people think, oh, it's just some kind of romantic, petty bourgeois adventurism.
It's much, much more than that.
Much, much more.
Okay.
Focal theory is also an American synthesis of Marxism.
So I say, let's study focal theory.
Let's start studying it.
Anyway, you know, by struggle to build things, it's incredible.
Sorry, I can't resist asking this, that this choice between Che and Fidel also brought to my mind the choice between Trotsky and Stalin.
I know that would be a that would be somewhat different given Trotsky Stalin is so much mired in in history, you know, so much, it's it's much more loaded than Che and actually not for me, it's not loaded for me, and I'll tell you why.
I mean, you know, I think within left movements, there are often disputes, and you can look at this doctrinally and so on.
But I think there's something more than that here.
You know, Leon Trotsky came from an extremely fortunate background, he was well-read as a child, he came from an upper-middle-class family, was very bright, he wrote beautifully.
Yeah, he was a very why is there an attempt to compare Trotsky to She Guevara here?
This is fucking crazy.
What is going on?
Very sincere and good communist.
Stalin's mother was a domestic worker.
He didn't have the intellectual advantages of Trotsky.
He was an extraordinary good organizer.
I mean, because he came from the very poor end of the working class, he could speak to the working class.
He built the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party with his working class hands.
That group of Bolsheviks were people who came from the lower end of the working class.
And I think there's a very unfortunate comparison made between Stalin and Trotsky when you look at their writings.
One is a highly erudite person who comes from an upper middle class family, can quote from this source and that source.
The other comes with a great deal of anger at the bourgeoisie, anger at the elite, and hates the elite.
He has what I would call genuine hatred.
That's all.
What?
Wait, have you guys ever read anything written by Stalin and and ever detected hatred?
Ever?
Have you ever?
Have you ever detected hatred from Stalin's writings?
Because I haven't.
Ever.
That's what Stalin had.
Genuine hatred of the of the of the nobility.
I mean, he knew how badly his mother had been treated.
If you read, you know, biographies of him, that's an impact on somebody like that.
So for me, you know, if you say Stalin or Truck, this guy literally watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes where they named an uh the the the the mistreated ape coba.
Influenced by, you know, the Trotskyism because they said, oh, that's Stalin.
His name is Koba.
And that, you know, Koba turns out to hate humans because of how much he was missed.
So Vijay literally, instead of reading Stalin, he watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes and just assumed that that's actually like what went down in the 20s in Russia.
That Stalin was like this traumatized, angry, emotional guy lashing out and whatever, you know, it's fucking retarded.
Trotsky, I say, well, let's look at their backgrounds and let's see, you know, what Stalin was able to do from his background.
I mean, okay, there's all kinds of horrible things you can list.
At the end of the day, Stalin decided.
I can't list a single horrible thing Stalin is responsible for.
So I'd love to hear one of these things on Vijay's list.
Agreed with Bukharin.
Bukharin said, look, this is the path to development for us.
And Bukharin was right.
But Bukharin.
Bukharin's path, Stalin saw, would take decades, yeah?
It was a very good way to industrialize, Bukharin's plan was excellent.
You know, this is how we're gonna deal with the peasantry, blah, blah, blah.
Do some collectivization, but it was gonna take decades.
Stalin said we don't have decades.
They're gonna invade us, they're gonna destroy us.
And he made a choice there.
We have to go for industrialization.
It has a lot of grief attached to Stalin's economic policy, because that meant super rack-rented situation for the peasantry, yeah?
And but they industrialized, and because of that, and because of the sacrifice of 25 million Soviet citizens,
Fascism was destroyed.
I thought I was going to say 25 million died in the famine.
I was going to be like, what the fuck?
Britain would be speaking German and they would be saluting statues of Adolf Hitler without Stalin's choice.
To me, it's very clear that you can't make a choice like Stalin versus Trotsky and say let's choose between this guy's writings and this guy's gulags.
That's what happens with Stalin versus Trotsky.
It's that, oh, Trotsky is great to read.
His texts are so interesting and they're so filled with brilliant insights.
Yeah, and in quotes from you know literature and so on, and this guy is the gulag, he sent people to death.
If you have that choice, well, it's obvious choice, yeah.
But then if you look at the Trotsky was a wind pretentious windbag, it's literally the opposite.
Stalin was actually smart and brilliant, and Trotsky was a fucking pretentious windbag soying out.
In his writings.
I don't what the fuck is this guy talking about?
Big picture, it's a much more difficult choice.
And I'm not I'm not saying I'm willing to make a choice, but I think in my description I I really understand and I think people You can't make a fucking choice between Stalin and Trotsky?
What the fuck is going on?
Don't understand what it meant to be from that level of the working class.
I mean, if you look at the totality of Are we the only fucking Stalinists?
It's literally just us.
The Bolsheviks, most of them come from the working class and the lower end of the working class, you know, many of them.
You know, Cecilia Bobrovskoya, whose memoir we published from Leftwoods, incredible book, was Lenin's courier.
She used to go from the Tsarist Empire to see Lenin in Geneva, where people, where's Bobrovskoya?
You know, we've we've won, now where is she?
Well, you are going to write your own memoirs and
Oh it is disgusting Trotskyite, what the fuck is this?
Dis disgusting Trotskyite.
Disgusting, disgusting, disgust disgusting glasses wearing Trotskyites.
These fucking university glasses wearing Trotskyites.
Pencil pushing Trotsky.
Disgusting.
Disgusting.
I'm sickened.
These are our fucking ops.
These are our fucking ops, these disgusting Trotskyites.
They're fil they're literally filthy.
And I I thought we're all in agreement that Trotsky was working with Nazi Germany.
Apparently not.
These are disgusting.
Trotskyites
that this is like the Oh, what Kratzky did your d o Disgusting He called out A C P Give me a fucking time stamp Where in what time stamp?
Give me the time stamp in which he talks about us.
I'm not gonna watch the entire thing.
Where's the timestamp?
Oh.
Go to transcript.
I don't
I don't have a fucking transcript.
He creates he opens a building.
I don't call the society
Oh, when when A C V was first announced.
I don't give a fuck.
This guy's a fucking Trotsky.
If you're a Trotskyite, you're not even human to me.
Like, if you're a Trotskyite, you're not even human to me.
I don't, you're nothing you say matters.
You're a fucking Trotskyite.
It's like saying you're a member of ISIS.
You you mean nothing to me.
Your words are nothing, they're empty, it's nothing.
Trotskyite retard?
What have when I go be a f yeah, go Trotskyite dumbass?
What is Trotskyite?
What have they ever fucking done to show for anything ever?
When you say you're a Trotskyite, you're basically like my knee-jerk reaction is like, okay, you're basically like.
You're an occult, you're a LARPer, you're a retard.
I don't know what to say.
Like, I have nothing to say to you.
I am not on a left with Trotskyites, okay?
That's not how this works.
I'm not on a left with Trotskyites.
That's not no, there's no pan left.
Oh, we're the Trotsky!
Since when?
Because in the 1960s, I'll tell you why.
Because in the 1960s, there was all these retarded, pot-headed, MK Ultra, LSD-fueled, retard student LARPers who were in college, and they were all retarded LARPer individualists who had no connection to any real party or real movement or real anything whatsoever.
And there were actual institutions of communist parties.
And they said, fuck all of that, right?
It's all bullshit.
So they all were in their universities and they all started LARPing different things.
I'm an anarchist, I'm a Trotsky.
They created these fake pan-left tendencies and all they the unifying threat, Maoist and Trotsky, the unifying threat of these college students was that they all were having drug-fueled pot orgies.
And they were skipping class to do drugs and take LSD and they were in hippie vans and they would go to Woodstock and they would shit on the ground and say it's nature.
So they were all a bunch of disgusting degenerates who LARPed and defiled and mocked and blasphemed the tradition of Marxism.
And because of that thing that happened, now we have to pretend like there's this pan-left where there's Trotskyists.
There's no, no, there isn't.
There's a communist tradition.
There are honest working Americans who are
You know, they were Democrats at one point.
They're part of unions.
Some may say that they sympathize with some social democracy, or that's true that they exist.
But when all is said and done, there's a communist, there's one communist tradition.
That crazy 60s nonsense is not part of it.
And there's one communist tradition, and it has nothing.
And Trotsky's not at the table.
He's not at the table.
He's not even at the table.
Since when is Trot?
Why is Trotsky at the table?
How is Trotsky at the table?
Trotsky was never at the table.
Okay.
This table, this table.
Had contradictions, okay?
There is the Sino-Soviet split, there is the Sinno-Albanian split, there is the Soviet-Albanian split, there is the falling out with Tito.
Tito is the closest thing we get to a connection with international Trotskyism.
But there was a conflict in the communist tradition.
I'm not denying that.
But Trotsky stopped being relevant long time before.
Trotsky's historical significance was dead.
He was a nothing.
He's still a nothing.
Just because some college kids rediscovered his right.
Same thing with anarchism.
Do you know anarchism was dead by the post-war period?
There is no such thing as anarchism.
The successful anarchist project, Nazi Germany and Mussolini's Italy, look it up.
These are actual Mussolini's Italy.
It's actually the evolution of anarchism to its fullest form.
But that ended.
There was no one calling themselves an anarchist.
But in the sixties there was these college kids smoking pot.
They were smoking pot and they were getting gynecomastia from the pot they were smoking, 'cause they were a bunch of potheads.
They were doing L S D.
And they were all dru doped up on drugs, right?
That's what you have to understand.
We're doped up on drugs.
And um they didn't shower, nothing.
And these people uh rediscovered the writings of Bakunin and uh Prodhan and all these these uh an anarchoid.
Uh and this was mainly happened in France.
And they started LARPing, they're saying they're anarchists because they rediscovered these old writings that lost relevancy historically by that time.
But they, because they did drugs and there was no more rigorous academic process of actually studying and learning shit, they were like, oh, Bakunin was right.
Like, they didn't go through the methodical and meticulous process of like, because the only significance Bakunin has in reality is a footnote in the history of the First International.
His only significance was how Marx and Engels slam-dunked him, and that was it.
And it's a teachable lesson.
It's like this is one of the deviations that Marx and Engels successfully, and in practice, responded to.
And that's what happened in practice.
In practice,
They learned the faulty errors of anarchism, and it led to an actual evolution and development of the workers' movement in a qualitative way, right?
But these smelly, disgusting, doped-up, drugged college students in the 60s, they rediscovered these old writings without studying the history and the theoretical depth of the response of Marxists.
And so they just kind of took it at face value and they were so persuaded and convinced, like it was a brand new argument, as if it wasn't an old argument.
They made it seem like the anarchists were presenting some new argument that nobody's ever thought of before.
And that, oh, if only these communists.
Well, no, they did think of it before.
And it was fucking totally discredited, right?
And so it's the same thing with Trotsky.
They'd rediscovered Trotsky's writings, and these intellectuals were very impressed by it.
But they, you know, they just.
They present it as if it's new when it's not new.
It was it was very methodically and systematically dismantled in the debates in the Soviet Union of the late twenties.
And the biggest myth is what Vijay just said, which is that Stalin was this Vulgarian brute
And Trotsky was a rational, sophisticated intellectual.
The truth, though, is that.
Trotsky lost the argument.
In the late 20s, he lost.
Go and read the arguments, and you'll see Stalin expressed.
a more rational line.
Like anyone who was living at that time would have been like, yes, Stalin is correct.
Trotsky was wrong.
He was an airhead who was pretentious in how he pha phrased things and stuff, but his argument boiled down to this idea that instead of consolidating the gains of the revolution,
We need to adopt this suicidal adventurist uh position of just kind of um
Trying to export it forever and declaring a war against the peasantry, right?
That was the practical conclusion of what Trotsky was suggesting.
So when Stalin was that was refuted, okay, it was refuted because it was an absurd position.
And I've talked to Trotskyites in my life.
And I would ask them, I was like, look, what Trotsky was proposing would have led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
You know what these people told me?
They go they went, Well, maybe that was a necessary thing for the workers' movement internationally, for the Soviet Union to And I was like, What?
You lost me, you know?
What do you mean?
Like, what?
You know, um
So
