Is There Finally Hope?

we've got some news today that appears

to contradict the entire thrust

of yesterday's stream

but

i don't want to get my hopes up because

i think it's going to end up

disappointing me

in some kind of way and in some manner

anyway

we're gonna watch there's actually a lot

of things

we have lined up to cover today

and before we do that

i want to talk to you guys about the

godfather

i want to talk to you about the movie

the godfather because i've been watching

it

i've been watching part two i'm almost

done with it i got like 40 minutes left

to part two then i'm going to part three

and the first thing that strikes me

about the godfather

is that it's not a crime movie

the godfather is not a crime

movie at all there's nothing criminal

about it

thank you dog

there you go soldier thank you

2036.

that's what we're looking for

good

that's right it's a dark dark morning

anyway a lot of people think the

godfather is a crime movie

it's not the godfather is

a family movie it's a family movie and

he was like oh what about all the

killings and violence who cares it's

part of life there's nothing criminal

about that the godfather is an extremely

it's like um

it's like big mama's house you know it's

like a family movie basically it's not a

crime thriller at all i don't it doesn't

register to me that it's a crime movie

unless we're talking about drugs all

right if there's no drugs involved

then in my book it is not a crime

thriller at all

and

i want to kind of give my thoughts on

this movie

and they're going to be you know

i'm not going to spend too much time on

this but i want you guys to hear my

thoughts on the godfather i find the

godfather an extremely tame film and i

find the godfather a film about

what

basically it's a very catholic film

obviously and it's about american

catholicism

and it's about how you know

protestant america was never enough

the overt and explicit allegiance to the

you know explicit

norms and laws of society are not enough

you also need

implicit ties of family right

and you know family relations

but what i found really bizarre watching

the godfather

was that

the don

spoke in a very autistic explicit way

he outlined how it worked

when the first guy came to him to ask

for a favor he said

why have you insulted me

if you had come here as a friend

know like he's like laying out the rules

of engagement and it's almost like in

the mafia that they depict

when i know it's not how it works

everything's explicit

the rules are only hidden in so far as

they're not overt in the law

but

you know

beyond that there's still like these

really weird

explicit rules you have to follow in the

mafia

i am the dawn i'm gonna appoint you the

conciliar i'm gonna appoint you that's

not how it works right that's not how

family ties are so i i find that very

catholic because catholicism

is both secretive as the secret of

church and it's also explicit

and

you know just from my perspective

the way it actually works or the way

actual tribal clannish relations works

it's all implicit you don't need to

fucking make anything explicit to like

i am now the dawn nobody says that all

right nobody just sits here and says i'm

now the leader

that happens very implicitly that

doesn't happen

through any kind of rules

i i i there's something i really don't

like about the film and the reason i

don't like it is because i just see all

these fucking brooklyn chapel listeners

and all these fucking like art these

these new york city art people who are

like soy facing over their like

avant-garde catholicism they're like

francis ford

and shut the fuck up they're like they

think it's so subversive like oh my god

they're undermining protestant wasps

society catholicism i know dsa people

love this kind of shit and they love the

fucking godfather and they love all that

fucking bullshit and i find it so

fucking cringy and i hate it

i really hate how they think it's so

badass they're like oh i'm in the know

about the action it's it's irony right

that's what irony is irony is like oh

i'm not following like the overt

protestant hunky-dory rules of society

i'm also adding irony a little bit below

the surface but it's still like super

regulated and still like a lot of rules

and shit but it's like irony are you in

on it are you in on the dsa chapter are

you in that's that's it's that's what

makes it so fucking ugly and cringe in

my view

and that's my criticism of the another

criticism i have the godfather

i'm a huge al pacino fan

if you didn't know i'm a really big al

pacino fan i really love that movie he

did

devil's advocate where he's like a

lawyer right and then obviously there's

scarface whatever

this is the

i really don't like his performance in

this movie at all this is al pacino at

his worst to me i just and it's just i

don't like his character his character

is just this fucking

you know boring

fucking

uptight asshole there's something about

this al pacino i don't like in the

godfather maybe it's just because he's

too young and he don't got any facial

hair and he's he's too like formal and

he's too professional and shit but i

really dislike that version of al pacino

i really do

um in contrast

think of the al pacino in scarface

that's an al pacino i liked now i didn't

i do not identify

with scarf i don't identify with tony

montana in that movie believe it i

rewatched scarface as well a few days

ago

and i really don't like tony montana

either i was talking about this in the

discord i don't like tony montana i

think tony montana

lacks discipline i think he's a fucking

wrecker and i don't like what he did to

frank now i'm not a big fan of fucking

frank

but tony montana came

and his dude frank gave him a fucking

job

gave him something to do

and this fucking guy because he thinks

he's such big shit right he went and

fucking cucked frank fucked his wife

and then wrecked the whole fucking thing

because he's got that emotional fucking

bullshit i don't fuck with that

emotional shit where you're like

[Music]

love me

because i deal with it all the time you

see what i'm saying i have a lot of tony

mont wannabe tony montanas

deal with the infrared community that

way right and i they're like

i'm gonna go and that's you know i i

thought about it and i'm like you know

what

people like

people like that carlos guy probably

think of themselves as tony montana like

they go full retard and just like

completely reckless whatever psycho

behavior and they're like that's because

i say hello to my little friend you know

you're not like that you're not like

that at all okay

but i love the movie and i think the

character is great and it works for the

movie it's just like i don't like people

who see that as a role model it's not a

role model she said who do you identify

with the most

in

scarface

believe it or not

probably sosa i i identify most with

sosa actually i think sosa is probably

the right kind of that's that's the

that's the temperament i strive to have

do i succeed having that temperament no

but that's the kind of mentality i like

i like his i like that cunning kind of

you know

i like sosa the most actually

so yeah so sus i like more i don't like

tony montana i don't but here's the

thing scarface is a crime movie

godfather is not a crime movie scarfaces

want to know why because the godfather

is just a family drama movie about like

family life and all that kind of shit

right the fucking scarface

you've got people tied up and you got a

guy with a fucking chainsaw in a fucking

motel in miami i mean that's a fucking

crime movie okay scarface is a is a real

crime movie

and it's a great movie it's a fucking

great great movie right and if you're

like how are you like so something like

allied with the uscia no shut the fuck

up like literally you're fucking

retarded and actually you know what you

may not okay i'm gonna be i'm being

insensitive you may just have autism

right because you just don't understand

things you don't understand how they

work right

there's nothing wrong with having autism

but it's just

why are you

um being so emotional with me why are

you just hurling all these accusations

and all these fucking insults and just

you don't get it you don't understand

right

what i like about

sosa is um

[Music]

i like he's a businessman right i like

that i like how he's just a businessman

i like that mentality i have a

business-like mentality that's what i

want to be like

i like the discipline i like the like

mentality and i like the business over

emotions mentality i don't like tony

montana is too fucking emotional i don't

fuck with that

i do not every see this is why tony

montana's cringe i'm gonna tell you why

because everybody tries to fucking be

tony montana especially going fucking

miami everyone's trying to be the tony

montana

oh it's it's me against the world no

it's not bitch that's you and every

other dude at this club shut the fuck up

bitch you're not special at all sick of

these dudes who think they are special

because they watch scarface and they

think they're tony montana you're not

fucking tony montana every fucking dude

in miami thinks he's fucking tony

montana every fucking dude who after

watching scarface thinks they're tony

montana you're not fucking tony montana

this is like

you know what this is like this is like

that dude on the on the

driving and he's got like a sports car

on the highway and he's like it's me

against the world

and they're like fucking driving like an

asshole not realizing hey dude you

realize the highway

isn't given from nature you're not some

fucking like badass highways are built

by us

as a society you're not like some

special dude who's like oh i'm living on

the edge no you're not bitch you're just

a fucking asshole putting everyone in

danger

right

it's that pathetic type of dude and i

you know what i'm pretty i'm i don't i

don't hate andrew tate but there's

probably

a good at least sizable minority of

andrew tate fans who are also like

like that they're like they put the

glasses on they go to fuck in their

middle school and they're like i'm the

only andrew tate sigma male badass here

no you're fucking not you're like you're

a clone of everyone else doing the same

shit all right listen

as much as i'm known for being like a

toxic male and the toxic masculinity

shit

whatever i'm still a communist and i

don't fuck with that psycho

individualism where you're like yeah

let's be against the world because if

it's truly you against the world you're

going to move in silence you're not

going to fucking be that dude at the

club in miami who's trying to be tony

montana along with every other fucking

dude there thinking they're original if

you truly are operating alone you

against the world you're doing it in

silence you're not running your fucking

mouth posturing to all of society that

you're such a fucking special badass

because you're fucking not you're really

not

and there's such a pet peeve of me i'm

so fucking sick of dudes who act like

they're these like sigma males when they

are so

fucking domesticated by society they're

so fucking domesticated you pay twenty

dollars to get into the fucking club you

pay for drinks at the club you fucking

you you you're this your cardboard

fucking cut out you listen to the same

influencers as every other fucking dude

you go to the gym listening to the same

exact fucking music as every other

fucking dude you buy the same car as

every other fucking dude there's nothing

original about you you read the same

damn fucking books thank you orvo thank

you orville you're literally an npc

you're doing the exact there's thousand

millions of carbon copy clones of you

but you think you're tony montana you

think you're the fucking special guy

where you're the main character and it's

you against the fucking world

when you're when you're literally taking

for granted the way the society around

you is holding your hand

that's what fucking pisses me off

like people just at this people really

just want to fucking larp that they're

the main character that's the shitty the

shittiest thing about american

individualism is this and i'm saying

this as an american patriot who likes

some aspects of american individualism

but i'm going to talk about the worst

aspects the worst aspects of american

individualism is the fucking dude with a

hawaiian shirt

who's got fucking sunglasses on who's

always like in a jolly good mood and

he's going to the fucking bar he's going

to the club he's going wherever and he's

fucking acting like he's the fucking

center of it all and he's like the tony

montana hey come on here you're not if

you're not special you're like any other

fucking dude you are literally a kid at

disney world you're a fucking child at

disney world talking to fucking mickey

mouse and minnie mouse the whole thing

is just set up for you you're taking for

granted the way this is all staged for

you all this bullshit is staged for you

so you could sit your lazy fucking ass

on the chair at the fucking bar acting

like a fucking dumb bitch because you

think you're the main character of some

badass movie if you are a fucking badass

you would be in fucking car chases and

firefights right now you want to be at

the fucking bar at the fucking club

acting like you're some fucking badass

tony montana main character because

you're fucking not you're like every

other fucking poser at the fucking club

period

i'm sick i'm sick of that shit i'm sick

of that fucking shit man

sick of that damn bullshit that's that's

why i don't like tony montana that's

what it is because i see in that

character i see the way people are

influenced by that and they act like

records there's no fucking discipline

there's this you're a fucking dumb bitch

okay

now okay speaking in realistically

even though thank you uh stratosphere

the main character be the final boss

just don't seek validation from others

right speaking in terms of

personalities i'm more like michael

corleone the al pacino and the godfather

than i am fucking tony montana tony

montana is fucking annoying man that

dude's just annoying right at least like

michael corleone i don't like the

character but in terms of a personality

that's way better man he's way better

you know

because to me i have a different

understanding of masculinity being a man

to me

does not mean you have this childish

shit where you're just running on the

street you're like it's me against the

world that doesn't make you badass it

makes you a fucking you know

that makes you like anyone else right a

real man

creates an empire a real man's got

fucking networks

got fucking people

that they're inspiring that they're

helping out see like it's it's like the

godfather it's like don corleone right

that dude that's what a real man is to

me a real man is somebody

who's not this anti-social me against

the world ed punk rock edge lord i hate

those fucking punks i don't like punks

if you don't know this has don't like

punks i like son i like i think people

should be civilized

i'm genghis khan genghis khan was

civilized okay genghis khan

the only time see when genus khan

attacked the village

he did it with his army he was still

part of an army and i believe in that i

believe a discipline of a collective

army that's what i believe in a man

belongs to an army and a man knows how

to be okay with not being at the top why

because the dude at the top is also

loyal to the army so i have a man a spar

i believe in a spartan manhood based on

the army i don't fucking believe in this

shit and and when you say how's what

army well whatever build your own army

find an army whatever find a cause it

doesn't matter what it actually is it

could be it could be look it doesn't

even have to be political if you have a

network of associates business

associates because a lot of people look

this whole sigma mail shit is bullshit

i'm sorry

yeah in terms of your emotional

attachments you do have to be a sigma

male you can't get attached to other

people emotionally and i agree with that

but if you want to make a fucking living

in this life you gotta you gotta get the

right people you gotta get a team you

gotta get a network you gotta get a

fucking army i don't care what it is

about if it's making money if it's

fucking building a business building a

political party literally built art it

could be fucking anything you need a

fucking team okay you got to have a team

mentality and a team mentality is kind

of like a it's kind of like a mafia

mentality where

you understand it's not just you okay it

i so maybe maybe it's just like an asian

middle eastern thing i don't know even

though a lot of times arabs dudes are

the fucking tony montanas if i'm being

real but that's just because they're

westernized whatever

but when i'm saying team mentality i

basically mean

you should only assert your

individuality

accidentally you should never do it

directly and that's the asian way that's

all asian asian culture basically says

the minute you have to assert your

individuality

you slipped up somehow you're not

supposed to do that you're not supposed

to just fucking get up on the table at

the business meeting and just fucking

show your balls

i mean i would do that if i'm declaring

war on all of them and i have something

to back it up but if i'm literally at a

business meeting and at a table with

people

i'm here for a fucking reason i'm not

here to fucking just wave my fucking

balls at people

i'm here on the basis of some kind of

mutual association some kind of common

association where there's a common

purpose or some kind of goal and you

have to respect that right you got to

respect it's not just about you

and yeah your individuality is really

important it's going to be really

decisive you've got to make moves you've

got to move the chess pieces and be

strategic

but you do that behind the scenes you

don't fucking do all that in front of

everyone right that's what i'm saying i

like sosa better than fucking tony

montana or i like michael corleone

better than fucking tony montana you

know

a real man is part of an army period and

by the way a real man isn't always

the fucking leader or a leader at all

sometimes a man is just a fucking

soldier and there's nothing wrong with

that

there's nothing wrong with that

whether you're a soldier whether you're

a general or whether you're a fucking uh

you know you're a marshal

whether you're the commander-in-chief

if you are serving the same cause

you have the same degree of manhood

period

in ancient armies

you know you did have the leader right

but the soldier who went and sacrificed

themselves or performed great feats of

heroism you think that

they're less of a man than the fucking

leader no they're not they're all

serving the same cause

and they all make men out of themselves

serving the army right so that's my view

i don't like this uh

bourgeois view of masculinity this

individualistic view of masculinity

where people just fucking try to act

like that psycho like tony montana

bullshit that's that's fucking bullshit

to me that's complete bullshit right

i believe in a collectivistic

masculinity i don't believe in that

fucking cringe

individualistic shit

but

thank you so much destiny's crack dealer

for that sticker

based

thank you

so

yeah i don't i don't i don't appreci

guys a lot of see this is a lot of

things people don't know right

you know how i act you know how i i'm

impulsive i'm crazy whatever got a

really bad temper

did you know that in spite of all of

that

if you want if you want insight into me

how i work

as unhinged as i come off

did you know i'm still part of a

collective

did you know that if an infrared member

of our collective

decided hey guys i want to end this

whole thing that actually would have

weight and we would all have to like

have a meeting and sort it out

did you know that

did you know i'm still part of a

collective like oz is not like the

fucking i don't have just supreme

executive power i could do whatever the

fuck i want unconditionally like the

other shore runners actually have power

did you know that

as much as i am the way i am on camera

behind the scenes i'm part of a i'm part

of a thing i'm part of a group i'm part

of a collective

so you see what i'm saying that tony

montana's shit is fucking cringe that's

why i think it's cringe

see stalin thank you voidburn i

sympathize most with manny and scarface

hold it down for your day once

yeah that guy wasn't bad either

but let me let me tell you guys what

um

let me tell you guys what

and this is super important okay

this is super important

the problem is i forgot what i was gonna

say

fuck

i really forgot what i was gonna fucking

say fuck me man fuck me fuck me forgot

what i was gonna fucking say holy shit

fuck fuck my life man i can't i can't

stand this i mean

what was i trying to fucking say

oh stalin that's what i was trying to

say okay thank you for reminding me

you know stalin

was he was a collectivistic leader you

know that right and the cia admitted

that i am going to pull up the thing

where the cia talks about how you know

there's a common view held that stalin

is like some arbitrary individual tyrant

but the truth is

stalin acts very collectively he

consults

the this is well known feature of stalin

i don't know if you guys know this

before stalin ever made a decision

not only did he consult his inner circle

he ran it by

the the top philosophers theorists

scientists experts

the people in the academy the local

party leaders i mean he consulted

everybody first and then he made his

decision

that's why stalin was the man of steel

that's what manhood means right

hitler

who had a stick in his ass 24 7.

he's just fucking trying to do shit

individually right

that was hitler hitler wasn't a fucking

man

so hitler was more like tony montana and

stalin was more like sosa that's how

that shit was

okay

and for some reason the bourgeois

perverted version of masculinity

which is actually an extremely

effeminate

and you know um maxim gorky talks about

this but it's also like it's a when you

take it to its extreme the bourgeois

masculinity it turns into this extremely

vain effeminate perversion and psychosis

which

isn't actually manly at all

that's the truth

it's not manly at all

and by the way this shit is given

if you come from an immigrant culture of

some kind right

because for example

the way even the way it is

in

lebanon if you're the chief of the tribe

that's tribal you understand you gotta

mediate relations you gotta you gotta

deal with you you bring all the heads of

the families together around in a circle

and the reason you're the leader isn't

because you're fucking asserting your

balls over everybody else

it's because you are clearly formulating

the consensus in the best kind of way

so there's not going to be a war and

there's it's a very feudal thing where

there's wars all the time and shit

families fighting families whatever

but it's never just the tony tony

montanas are fucking cringe man

those people are cringe though those

people cannot

actually move in a society

they cannot

so if you watch scarface and you need a

fucking role model don't have it be tony

montana have it be that so-so dude

that's so-so dude i'm sorry that dude i

kind of respect in the movie like he

built a giant empire

he was completely reasonable he always

stayed calm i like that's so fucking

badass me like when he's with tony and

he's like here he's like looking at the

fucking binoculars and they're hanging

that guy from the

helicopter smooth man that's how you

gotta fucking be

right

that's what i like

uh and then after tony fucking killed

this guy he just sent people in and got

rid of him

and he won at the end there's a reason

he won

right

they say

sosa was fucked up he was part of the

deep state or whatever yeah i know he

was in the movie i'm just saying like as

a personality obviously the character

was like part of the ruling class and

actually that's something i'm going to

get to as well

but

watching the godfather and comparing

that to scarface

godfather is not a crime movie crime is

about drugs to me there's no there's

what i mean what else what else

prostitution is never gonna be

enough

to make like a criminal empire compared

to drugs it's really all about drugs

drugs are what make a crime movie

and that's something i truly believe

it's always about drugs

and then okay so here's here's another

thing right

there is

a

i've also

so believe it or not right

someone has actually

is this the essence of democratic

centralism yeah kind of it is yeah it is

it actually is so someone has actually

um

someone has actually

given me a i don't know how the fuck

they came across this i don't know where

the fuck they even got it

but someone gave me a copy of dugan's

foundations of geopolitics translated

into english

and i've been spending the majority of

my time besides being on the beach and

getting a tan

and you know

trying to walk around because my neck is

still actually fucked up it's not

recovered so i had to skip the gym today

as well

but besides doing all that

i've been reading foundations of

geopolitics and i've been skipping

through because i don't i never read a

book in chronological order

and i've been reading about dugan's work

on the partisan

and on the uh

um drawing from uh

either junger i think it was schmidt

both both of them right dugan's writing

on the partisan the origins of partisan

warfare what is partisan warfare

and actually it showed me that dugan

actually has a surprisingly

uh

you know

good grasp of

mao

and the context of the sinnoh soviet

split he does he demonstrated the

understanding in that chapter

but he also

understood a special significance of

lenin in that book

because he's talking about the history

of warfare and what dugan basically says

is that in the beginning

you're dealing with

uh you're dealing with uh you know this

there's no modern laws or rules of

warfare right

then in the napoleonic wars

you have this standardized army

of the modern french military which is

super organized along rational lines

you know systematically to um

efficiently carry out operations from

the top down and proceeding in a very

ultra modern way right

and then dugan talks about how the

partisan first emerges in spain with the

spanish gorillas resisting

the french modern army which creates a

new kind of form of irregular warfare

guerrilla warfare

and then he talks about how

before

the modern era

the the concept of a partisan or of a

gorilla is basically confined to like a

bandit or some kind of criminal and

basically wasn't taken seriously as like

a noble

like type of uh warfare worthy of

philosophical inquiry yada yada yada

so with the prussian military reforms

following the defeat of the prussian

army in the midst of napoleon

the prussian press and the austrian

press

both of them the habsburgs and the

prussians are

um glowingly

uh

writing about the spanish guerrilla war

were

soldiers

and redeeming them to the status of an

actual philosophical subject

and dugan basically says that all of

this kind of gets put on the back burner

in the midst of the uh

the restoration that happens after

waterloo the congress of vienna

which finally establishes

rules of conventional warfare

you know it strictly distinguishes

civilians from soldiers and

prisoners of war

the conduct with regard to prisoners of

war and you know don't

all that kind of stuff right gets

outlined there

and here's what dugan says and this got

me thinking

he says after

the european

laws of conventional warfare up to the

end of world war one

warfare as such

ceases to be

instead of a war you have what klauswitz

called more a play a kind of duel

between gentlemen it's following common

rules and is not actually a site of real

real antagonistic warfare because as we

know in a real fucking war

there are no rules it's you versus them

and it's a complete war of annihilation

and war of extinction

that's a real war

but in the conventional war of the year

created after the congress of vienna

that's not a real war anymore that's

just the kind of whatever and nowhere

does this get more apparent in world war

one

and this is where dugan writes about

lenin

and he writes about how the way lenin

drew from klaus fitz

um

and i think a lot of people overlook

this aspect of lenin actually i think

people overlook the klaus vinci and

lenin the lenin who conceived the class

struggle

has the form of what dugan calls

absolute enmity

so if you don't know what enmity means

it basically means like hostility or

conflict right and for lenin only the

class struggle was an actual

life or death

war of annihilation form of absolute

antagonistic enmity

right

this is an actual site of war proper

lenin was not a pacifist lenin didn't

look at world war one and say oh why

can't we be friends why can't we be

friends peace and brotherhood

and we're love that's what khrushchev

and brezhnev kind of revived with

peaceful coexistence but that was not

lenin's view lenin was not a pacifist he

even called the pacifist super cringe

super bourgeois and he had nothing to do

with the pacifist again this is a dark

land and not about not

lenin didn't oppose world war one on

humanitarian grounds

he didn't instead

lenin's objections to world war one the

reason it it infuriated him so much

actually was because lenin saw world war

one is not a war at all he saw it as a

play he saw it as a strategic maneuver

on part of the international ruling

class to stage a kind of conflict that

wasn't actually a war of absolute enmity

at all it was basically this false

conflict more or less

false antagonism

and lenin actually wanted a real war

a real fucking war

okay lenin was not a pacifist she wanted

a real real fucking war which for lenin

took the form of a of a civil war

an actual conflict of absolute enmity of

terror and irregular warfare and fucking

guerrilla warfare and and he wrote about

these things a real fucking conflict

right

a really destructive war

that breaks a completely destructive

revolutionary

of fire

that's what lenin wanted

he didn't like world war one because he

thought world war one was too stained

he thought world war one was a sham

basically

the concept of absolute enmity is pretty

interesting when you think about it

class warfare is a war of absolute

enmity but what does that look like in

actual reality well first

it first took the form of the absolute

ruthlessness political ruthlessness of

the bolsheviks in suppressing all of the

political opponents to soviet power

this mentality that the bolsheviks got

of life or death friend or enemy a very

strict friend in enemy distinction

they're suppressing strikes they're

suppressing you know med dementia vics

the so even these leftover soldiers

revolutionaries i mean they are brutal

they are fucking brutal in this the red

terror all of that right

that comes

that's german that's

that comes from the german

tradition

that comes from uh klaus fitz

people don't understand the decisive

significance of klaus wits for lennon

it's not nietzsche and it doesn't come

from nietzsche nietzsche immortal

immorality

uh

it comes from

klauswitz

the notion of absolute enmity

the friend enemy distinction yada yada

yada that's where it comes from that's

where the ruthlessness of bolshevism and

the

proletarian that that is how they

grounded the notion of the proletarian

dictatorship

so that class struggle first takes the

form of the russian civil war

and the consolidation of the proletarian

dictatorship to overall crush and

ruthlessly suppress all of its enemies

unconditionally

for them that was the class war

but then absolute enmity takes other

forms

specifically

with mao and then with the popular front

yada you know we if you want to know the

connections read the sub stack between

those two things

but

the brahmins of democracy with mao

absolute enmity also manifests itself in

other forms like the war against the

japanese aggressors

as well as the chinese civil war right

but also mainly the war against the

imperialist japan which establishes

mao's guerrilla warfare and partisan

units right

mao writes about these things in the

late 1930s

things that are instructed in u.s

military academies

to this day

that's how significant and important

they were

so

so you you can understand um

that the question now rears its head of

what does that look like in today 21st

century

what does it look like when communist

parties after the year of the popular

front are not you know these

machiavellian

conspiratorial groups

that are

ruthlessly striving for power you know

robbing banks and shit like lenin and i

mean imagine joseph's robbing a bank

right or imagine you know the cpusa

leadership robbing a bank it's

ridiculous and rightfully so right we're

not advocating for any of that

things have become more indirect

so absolute

enmity does not actually take the form

of some kind of direct

uh apocalyptic confrontation

it's not uh direct

terrorism absolute enmity is mediated

the part the reason it's absolute is

because it's an unconditional

ruthless struggle for power but that

struggle is mediated through various

different forms whether it's the

anti-imperialist struggle whether it's

the struggle to get someone elected

whether it's whatever right but the it's

grounded in this smithyan notion in

contrast to the bourgeois legalism

it's a shmita notion

and this actually places marxism at

least marxism leninism officially

speaking but angles was also

very much

uh disposed of this view as well from

everything we know this places marxism

leninism within the continuum

of counter enlightenment in many ways

right because the notion of bourgeois

legality thank you light of the twin

lamps do you wholeheartedly disagree

with the saudi position that the

iranians who are 98

not arab okay you know what thank you

for the five but it's like

don't why why are you why do you so

you're just basically telling me hey

fuck you has

what you're talking about doesn't

fucking matter i want you to switch the

fucking topic to something else you know

what dude i don't like

like i appreciate all my super chats and

shit but respect comes first

okay respect comes first not gonna

fucking derail what i'm talking about to

talk about some dumb bullshit

about

uh

the saudi view of the iranians i mean

what does that have to do with what i'm

talking about right

i mean that guys i get it i'm super low

on views okay i'm super low on views

i don't give a fuck i'm still gonna do

what i think matters and what i care

about and if i can't make a living off

of that i'll just fucking quit i don't

give a shit you know light respect comes

first

because you're basically telling me

nobody's paying nobody's listening okay

if you're if you don't listen i want to

just psa just a big psa if you don't

care about what i'm talking about right

now just fucking leave just leave

i'm not a fucking puppet to be jeered in

any fucking direction you want i have

weekly q a's in the patreon i am not a

puppet to be veered and jeered in

whatever fucking direction you see fit

i do content

as i see fit if i want to talk about

something that's what we're talking

about and that's the topic

if you don't care about absolute enmity

and dugan's understanding of the

partisan and what i'm talking about go

fucking watch something else because

that's what i'm talking about

so like i was saying

the underst the the um

bolshevik understanding of proletarian

ruthlessness striving for power and

dictatorship overalling all enemies and

suspending bourgeois legalities and the

norms of bourgeois legalism

in a sense does belong to the i don't

know if you would call it counter

enlightenment but

certainly the enlightenment skeptic

tradition

of you know the german romantic backlash

and reaction to the enlightenment

because the the transparent notion of

bourgeois legalism

according to which you know which is

best epitomized by robespierre now i i

admire roxier very much but

it did express a certain naivety where

he said republican virtue means that

citizens act according

to

uh the the the laws and the republic

that they themselves create right

something like that

but

people like um klaus fitz who's a

prussian and you have to understand the

prussians are fighting napoleon

and napoleon's reforms

they're looking at they're reading

between the lines and they're looking at

the dark

underpinning the dark underbelly right

and klaus fitz establishes a notion of

the political

because for classmates war is an

extension of politics

so he

re-imagines or he re-grounds an

understanding of the political that is

no longer based on the self-same

transparent form of the law

or the conformity with it therein it is

now based in some fundamentals

some fundamental conflict

some war some antagonism

right

absolute enmity is the basis of the law

right and then in the german tradition

the german conservative revolutionaries

would extend this notion

uh junger carl schmidt etc etc

so but lenin is also in this

tradition is this is what a lot of

people overlook lenin is in this

tradition

when karl kautsky and the german social

democrats

so aggressively reproached lennon

for his perceived you know um

his perceived all to

his dictatorial whatever terrorism

trotsky had to re

you know

reproach what kotski said about

terrorism all that kind of stuff

well at least for lenin

the what separated lenin from the social

democrats

was that lenin was a ruthless klaus

vitzian and the social democrats were

basically respectable shit libs who

still believed in the ideals

of bourgeois

you know classic bourgeois liberal

progress and progressivism

so in this sense

marxism leninism

establishes marxism

that is in the eyes of liberals

something reactionary

marxism leninism

is not an extension

of the beautiful bourgeois progress oh

democracy

we're leading into the light that's what

i talked about in the bronx of democracy

no the bolsheviks are doing something

weird even with historical time

they're going back to the past to

re-ground themselves

they're reforming themselves in the past

they're grounding they're saying they're

they're saying no

they're insisting on a no

to the bourgeois universal

principle of legality they're saying no

something more fundamental

is underlining this

which they articulated in the terms of

the marxist class antagonism and class

struggle

but whether they're going to do it in

terms of class struggle or they're going

to do it like the

reactionary german romantics of the 19th

century did which is like a national

struggle or even a racial struggle it

doesn't matter they are insisting upon

something more fundamental as the basis

of the universal legality of the

rational bourgeois state

then its own self-same form and this

strictly establishes

marxism

to be outside

the tradition

of progressive liberalism strictly just

by that alone

now there was a there was an opportunity

and dugan talks about this

for the ideas of marx and engels to give

way to the kind of revisionism of the

social democrats because there was an

element in marx and lenin's work

dugan writes that marx and lenin

were just thinkers

sorry marx and engels were just thinkers

and there was a possibility that their

body of work could be turned into this

kind of middle class

middling class kind of

pmc whatever you want to call it you

know um institutionalized

supplementary theory to the

progressive liberalism of bourgeois

democracy where basically you know oh

yeah i mean

oh yeah i mean we also need to pay

attention it's like aoc and the

democratic socialism right

we also need to pay attention to the

class issues right just maintain our

democratic society we're going to reform

our way into socialism and we're going

to reform our way into the proletarian

dictatorship i mean that was a

possibility just from marx and engels

but lenin is the one who adds class fits

to the mix

and that's why marxism leninism is

different lenin is the one who says no

class struggle

is a

form of absolute enmity absolute

antagonism

war of extinction war of annihilation

now the question we should pose

is the following one

what does this look like

in 2022

how has absolute enmity evolved into the

present day

in political terms

i actually think i have the answer to

this

now

warfare is governed by the protocols of

international human rights

and you know the norms of international

law

even in russia and ukraine right now is

abiding by those

so warfare is out of the picture as it

was in lenin's time

what about politics

well politics doesn't politics is the

same it doesn't take the form of the

civil war anymore the political struggle

at least between the parties is still

governed by you know some procedure some

laws of some kind some norms established

internationally

and they rarely break out into a civil

war anymore

even actual civil wars in the modern day

are never between two parties

they're between

you know extremely

um

and extremely

uh

fractured

factionalized groups of society

is what warfare is based on

which means it's not directly like based

on a

institutional political difference

institutional political differences

do not take the form of absolute enmity

anymore maybe they used to maybe they

did in lenin's time right the bolshevik

party was fighting a war of absolute

enmity

against other parties

but such is not the case anymore parties

have become institutionalized so where

is the war of absolute enmity still

happening

or where where does that assert itself

where does that manifest itself

some of you have already gotten it in

the chat

of course it's the information war

of course it's the information war

it's both the cultural

revolution and the information more

they're the same thing

i was actually going to say it was mao's

cultural revolution that is a form of

that is a reassertion of the principle

of absolute enmity now taking the form

of a cultural struggle of a cultural

revolution

which is not being governed by some

external protocols or principles it's an

absolute difference absolute war

hence the brutalities and excesses of

the cultural revolution but this has

extended to the present day especially

in the united states

riddle me this

i want you to think about my beef

with other not only other random

anonymous trolls but other creators

isn't that absolute enmity

doxxing me threatening to kill me

trying to kill me i mean literal death

literal life or death

right

trying to de-platform me trying to get

my income i mean that is where the

absolute enmity is manifesting itself

it's at this level ephemeral level of

the information war

and the cultural war that is where it's

reasserting itself

as a principle

right look what's going on with uh

kefl's and um

all that swatting and shit right that's

absolute enmity right that's like

people wanting to fucking kill each

other

over uh cultural

information war

reasons

cultural differences look at gamergate

it's the same thing

right

it's uh gamergate so the takeaway guys

is this is what i want everyone to clip

and post is that what i'm basically

saying is of course

andrew tate is the new lenin

i'm just gonna let that simmer for like

five seconds and then

no of course i'm i'm not serious but

that is where the absolute entity where

all bets are off more or less is

reasserting itself

and you see this in the smallest ways

look at what's going on with xiangyu

right i mean this is a small thing it's

not super big it's not particularly like

a big

fucking thing that's going on

but

in terms of like its scale and its

impact but look what look at shangyu

right

people are just making shit up about him

on twitter and they're just doing all

this highness shit toward him i mean

like there's no principles there's no

morality i'm saying that not because i

think people are trying to kill xiangyu

i'm just saying this in terms of like

all of the basic protocols governing

human interaction

ethical interaction right morality are

gone because there's an antagonism

that suddenly makes it permissible to

suspend all the rules of engagement

there's no more humanity there's no more

respect toward or respect for any ethics

or respect for any rules it's just this

absolute fucking antagonism where

everything is permitted

everything is permitted

and all over what over

pixels on your screen basically but such

is the situation we're living in now

and instead of um

dwelling in irony about how absurd it

seems we should try to actually

embark upon a serious

investigation and understanding thank

you so much uh

jalaska

the antagonisms between you and other

creators is what opened me to your ideas

seeing how low they would stoop to try

and get a one-up on you is what made me

stop fence sitting on patriotism

i mean when i was when i was going out

with destiny

he found this random guy

um

on twitter to come and meet up with me

to fight right

and

he basically like

he egged him on he like made it a huge

spectacle like

he he he basically knew i was gonna go

meet up with this dude

and people in the chat were like yo

destiny like

what if he gets stabbed what if he gets

killed that's like i don't give a fuck i

don't give a shit right

that's absolute enmity that is that is

an example of the absolute enmity

actually that's not even the best

example

look at nafo look at the nafo trolls see

in russia and ukraine

that war is still being governed by some

protocols of war still as irregular as

it is

in some in some uh

sense

that is still they're still like okay

that's too far right but uh in this fear

of the information war nothing is too

far for nafo if you're like a russian

propagandist or you're like a perceived

russian asset or russian troll i mean oh

yeah kidnap you cut your balls off cut

your legs off cut your arms off cartel

style i mean rip your fucking throat out

and rip your heart out like i mean holy

shit anything anything fucking applies

right

because you're spending the wrong

you're saying you're spreading the wrong

messages

that is absolute enmity

that is where the absolute enmity

actually is

and how that does actually and then that

does actually manifest itself in the

real war for example the ukrainian

soldiers capture

um

the chechen fighter or someone on the

internet for internet infowar related

reasons and that's where all of the most

excessive brutality manifests itself

on the op because i want to be fair on

the opposite side when the chechens

captured the ukrainian

who was greasing bullets and pig thank

you sankhara you think the abstraction

of the informational plane slash arena

means that this enmity has even more

ideological fervor than in the past

yes much more and this is an example

right when the chechens found that

famous ukrainian as of national guard

who dipped bullets in pig fat

they just fucking beheaded him

why because that that was a translation

of the absolute enmity

of the information war

to the real life right and it

manifested itself in this extremely

extremely brutal

extremely extreme uh sorry extreme form

of brutality thank you so much for the

raid jackson appreciate you man

appreciate you for the raid thank you

man

so i mean you've got to understand that

people say oh the internet doesn't

matter whatever but

can you name me a a a plane a space of

warfare

where

the possibility of suspending all

rules of engagement

exists

in actual warfare there are rules of

engagement now you could say haas what

about all of the brutal acts that occur

offline in battle space in wars

and i'll say those are over determined

by the information war why because the

acts of brutality almost always

are posted on the internet

they're almost always like isis is

beheadings they're almost always

influenced by what's going on on the

internet you know the other side was

talking so much shit and they posted

this even gang warfare has taken this

form in chicago it's not like you have

these mafias fighting each other you got

a dude going on instagram live talking

that shit and then someone pulls up and

then it's you know what i mean like all

of the rules of engagement are suspended

in the information battle space

that is absolute enmity that's where it

is it's in the information war

now do i think that's particularly

civilized no a civilized society would

first establish a baseline implicit

you know

first we are human beings all of our

interactions

proceed from that premise right

human beings come first that's a

civilized that's like like china right

china doesn't tolerate this fucking

bullshit china doesn't tolerate this

bullshit

you know you have to have a baseline but

in this in an antagonistic

let's say bourgeois society

liberal society

all bets are off we're living in the

wild west there's no humanity no one's a

human being

now we're only forced to be human beings

offline because we're regulated by the

law

and we're regulated by these

institutions

we only get to be as wild as we really

are on the fucking internet

right

and that translates into real life in

extremely

brutal fucking ways and just just to be

clear to you that i'm not moralizing and

i'm not grandstanding standing

the most violent thoughts i have ever

had toward other human beings

were a result of the internet i have had

real life beef

where

it does not get to that point

but if internet beef the information war

related beef

has provoked in me

thoughts that if i if i if i just wrote

them as a paragraph

you would

faint in fucking horror at the things

i'm capable of thinking of to do to my

enemies

so i'm not here to grandstand whatever

the internet

has done

to our understanding of our fellow man

has done to me as well i'm not innocent

right

but i

am trying to emphasize

that

when we talk about a class struggle

we're not talking about starbucks

baristas

we're not even we're not even we're not

talking about something direct we're not

talking about a direct confrontation

between the literal working class and

the literal capitalist class as if like

actual workers are getting up

and like beating the shit out of bill

gates that's not what class struggle is

class struggle

see retards are gonna clip me out of

context and put words in my mouth so let

me be very crystal clear about what i

mean class struggle really is

class struggle has various different

layers and the hierarchy of these layers

is not defined by their importance

and if it is it's opposite to what's on

top

it's defined in terms of absolute enmity

so on top of the hierarchy is the

information war

okay and then below the information war

i'm just bullshitting right now but you

know it could be the the workspace

right

the corporate workspace or the the

workspace environment

the villa city environment whatever the

the space of human interactions offline

and then below that one can be um

let's just say it's uh

it's your local politics and then below

that is the federal politics right and

then below that is the geopolitics so

it's this hierarchy where the deeper you

go the more concrete it becomes

the deeper you go in the layer of the

class war the more concrete it becomes

the higher you go

the more ephemeral and

virtual it is

but the more virtual it is

the more you will see the manifestation

of the absolute enmity of the antagonism

the more concrete the manifestation of

the class struggle the more it's going

to be regulated by mutual protocols of

engagement rules

for example you have to participate in

the elections fairly according to the

constitution

if it's warfare you have to

respect the protocols of war

uh of warfare and of engagement if it's

even geopolitics is regulated by

international relations

except it's not a pyramid it's more like

a diamond right because on the top you

have the information war and then

you have this rising from the abstract

from the virtual down to the most

concrete

and that is dugan's geopolitics that's

the geopolitics

which is transcendent

uh

which is transcendent and which is

a geopolitics

that is based

in something that's going on in the

astral realm that's the geopolitics

dugan talks about that dugan gives

poetic

form to

it's real it's this like kind of

transcendent hyper object

it's concrete it's real it's like just

like

the

subterrestrial plate tectonics of the

earth

are certainly concrete and certainly

real but they don't become concrete like

rock

right they're flowing they're they're

deep in tartarus flowing

but real

and information warfare is an interface

on that war that geopolitical

war of polarity the polar war

you want to call it

and i love the word polar because it's

also the polarity in terms of

electromagnetism right

because as you know the earth's poles

are generated

by the convection currents that occur in

the earth's mantle

because there's so much iron there and

these convection currents create a

magnetic polarity

that's why your compass points north

to me information warfare

uh

maybe this is a good

maybe this is a good uh

metaphor

the same way the earth's magnetic

polarity relates the convection currents

below the earth's mantle the information

war

relates

to

geopolitical polarity

geopolitics

which is the fundamental site of class

struggle today the most fundamental form

of class struggle

in the 21st century

isn't even just imperialism or the

anti-imperialist struggle it's polar

struggle it's geopolitics

geopolitics is the most

fundamental form of class struggle in

the 21st century

easily the most fundamental

manifestation of class struggle because

remember the class struggle is not

a discrete relationship between

some concrete

working class and a concrete capitalist

class

it's a um

it's an actual

antagonism it's an imminent antagonism

it's an antagonistic imminence

not reducible to two parts

right it's a purity of antagonistic

difference

which is the object

of society

many people think the object of society

because the word object sounds tangible

so it must be like a rock

no what if the object of society

is this

latent conflict this in this unstable

antagonism

that is what class struggle is referring

to

and the form of clash struggle again

is that hierarchy i just told you

and the economic struggle between unions

and management

is like somewhere in the middle but it's

not at the bottom and it's not at the

top

so however you want to judge its

importance

it is not it is nowhere close to being

the most important

it's neither important in the sense of

being the virtual site of absolute

enmity

nor is it the most important in terms of

representing the most concrete form

of class struggle which is actually

politics not economic workplace

struggles against management

so this understanding of absolute enmity

is very important

i also think it's mistaken

to larp absolute enmity

recognizing absolute enmity does not

give you the right to be a psychopath

to your fellow human being

but what it does do is allow you to

recognize

what the stakes are

for a given conflict

i am not an illegalist anarchist who

thinks oh let's just

disrespect the laws

and just violently take up arms and have

a violent

who or something

nope

i actually believe we should follow the

law

because

the law is already situated in an

antagonistic context

so you basically even if you follow the

law there will be a point when the state

collapses there will be a point where

the state itself becomes illegal somehow

suspending the democratic protocols

going into emergency mode at that point

you have no obligation to the state for

its own sake you were just following the

law right

so

and also the notion of absolute enmity

should be

conceived as a dynamic object

which

is responsible for the breadth of forms

within which struggle

is situated

for example the anti-imperialist

struggle for example all these other

kinds of things

that absolute enmity put it this way

right

guys can i can i put it this way

absolute enmity

is a kernel of popcorn

can you listen to me absolute enmity is

a

it's a kernel of popcorn if you take you

try to purify absolute enmity in one

form

and you basically just bite on it's

gonna just be shit right you have to let

it pop you have to let it

medi you have to let it become mediated

through its various multi various forms

then that same absolute enmity

develops itself

and manifests itself across

a multi-place

space of struggle

and the science

the klaus vitzi in science of absolute

enmity

should allow you to possess the insight

with which

to unify these struggles

not as some psychotic holy writ

to you know arbitrarily start breaking

the law

or being a psychopath to people

but as a way to clarify

the unity

underlying any given piece of popcorn

it's the kernel

but if you have the kernel just by

itself you have nothing

see

don't formalize absolute enmity that's

what nazism was fascism tries to

formalize the kernel of popcorn

absolute state absolute violence

absolute dictatorship no mediation

but you lose the point when you do that

right when you understand it this way

you lose the point

in any case

foundations of geopolitics is an

excellent

book and i can very easily recommend it

to almost anyone i can very easily

recommend foundations of geopolitics

excellent excellent book

but deliberate restricted law breaking

from a moral or civic popular

disagreement

okay that is not something you would

talk about on the internet so i don't

know what the fuck you're doing

that is just not something you would

talk about i told you what i told you

okay

i told you what i told you

and i said what i said

but just understand that class war is a

war of absolute enmity

but you need to understand

that these larper marxist or maoists

living in the west

have completely misunderstood what that

means it doesn't fucking mean in the

name of the class struggle i am gonna be

a psycho and break the law that's not

what it fucking means

it means it's a science of how you

understand how this shit works

when you are able to perceive absolute

enmity as the basis of the law

it's an insight it's a science

it tells you not i'm gonna impose enmity

it tells you the enmity is already there

the absolute enmity is already there you

can either recognize it or ignore it but

it's already there

but the minute you start larping or

engaging in terrorism or any of that

fucking nonsense

you are just trying to impose enmity

voluntarily that is not what lenin did

lenin just had the courage to recognize

the fucking truth

of how shit actually worked

that's why

it's not about any dogma of class

struggle believe it or not it's not

about any theory of class struggle

either

all class struggle is is the science of

how reality works it's actually about

the reality how is the reality working

can you perceive things you didn't see

before

because of this understanding that's

what's decisive about it it's not about

oh i believe the workers should fight

the capitalists so because of this

belief

we're gonna introduce class struggle

the retards i'm sorry

on twitter and elsewhere

these people are

actually fucking retarded

and he tried to look if i tried to ex if

i tried to fucking explain this

to some maoists they'll be like hey

doesn't believe in glass dragon

shut the fuck up with your slogans and

just fucking listen

scientific socialism doesn't fucking

mean you impose class struggle in

reality

class struggle is descriptive you

understand how class antagonism

underlies reality

in a concrete way and you respond to

that in a concrete way

you don't fucking impose you're not the

one who creates it based on an ideology

no some ideology or some theory doesn't

fucking give you the right to overthrow

the state and take power that's

psychotic volunteerism it fucking

doesn't period

thank you claude i think this is why

china didn't shoot down pelosi's plane

they are in the follow the law mode

yeah that's probably a big reason

actually because china again china does

believe in absolute enmity it's

literally the foundation of the state

but it's a multi-fairy it's a

multi-laced space that they're waging

this war of absolute enmity on

that's why china

you think china gonna wage a direct

class struggle

no

that's why china isn't gonna go to war

with saudi arabia or go to war with like

all these different countries because

they don't share china's ideology or

they don't share china's economic system

that's not how china looks at it china

looks at this in terms of this is a

multilaced struggle

one basis is just class struggle

but what form does that

take it takes the form of workers

standing up to management

because they finally want to manage

their own workplaces

that's what class struggles about haze

listen

please

shut the fuck up and realize the only

reason you're allowed to have an opinion

is because we abolished feudalism

if we were living in feudalism

you would be digging shit in some ditch

and you wouldn't be allowed to have a

fucking opinion why

because for some reason the great chain

of being would have successfully

designated you

as some kind of fucking worm

who doesn't have the intelligent

doesn't have the innate intelligence god

given intelligence to open their fucking

mouth about things

the only reason you are allowed to speak

is because of human rights

you would have in an ancient society

you would have been polishing the

fucking cocks of the horses

thank you uh voidburn

so you need to understand

this whole thing that you you acquired

is like oh you're entitled to an opinion

you're not entitled to an opinion you

are genuinely an empty-headed

bird-brained

like innately stupid fucking person

any any notion of having an opinion

i mean why i mean what gave you the idea

that you should be able to have one i

don't understand where this comes from

right

but alas

like you

need to realize

you should not be speaking at all in

public

it's yeah this this whole perversion of

the notion of class struggle into a

guidebook to

defy management

that's that's what they did right what

marx was talking about was the baristas

in starbucks

and you want to know the type of person

who entertains this nonsense too is um

this is perfect this is actually what i

wanted to show you guys

many of you may have already seen this

but

this is the

typical this is your average marxist

in america

today now keep in mind keep in mind this

like heroic

very like

i just gave you a description of lenin

the fucking badass like lenin right

someone who fucking was drawing from the

fucking german counter enlightenment

with fucking klaus bitch just this

fucking ruthless badass fucking person

right

let me go ahead and show you american

marxist in 2022

let me go ahead and show you american

marxists in 2022

let's go ahead get ready get your ipas

and get your craft beers

get your ipas and craft beers because

you're in for it this is what class

struggle really means

this is the true meaning of class

struggle

get ready

for the true meaning of class struggle

get around gather round everyone this is

what it really means

is your top three favorite genres of

music industrial labor songs from the

early 1900s

what does this remind you of by the way

doesn't this remind you the pad sock

thems cause they literally are like this

but

i'm gonna just roll that back

different genres of music industrial

labor songs from the early 1900s

industrial labor songs from the early

1900s

industrial labor songs from the early

1900s

by the way

they're singing those songs at the

starbucks

which side are you on

which side are you on

they say at starbucks

locations there is a counter there

and i am making

frappuccinos here another there

all the

baristas

are making a coffee

the coffee's super hot

and the craft brewery is here for

solidarity hey which side are you on

which side are you on

are you

frappuccino

or are you a craft brewer it doesn't

matter cause we're all on the same side

which side are you on solidarity

they're literally like that that's

that's what we're doing so look guys i i

i offer you two pills i offer you two

pills

you're a young man living in america

interested in communist ideas i have two

pills for you

the first pill

is gonna turn you into a dsa social

democrat cuckold

and you're basically going to turn into

that hipster i just showed you

you're going to conceive the class

struggle as a warm and direct wholesome

solidarity of fellow cuckolds at your

workplace

and you're all going to band together

and and basically make a sorry excuse

for the friend group

the other pill that i offer you

is a flaming red pill

it's gonna burn when you have the spill

and this pill

lead you down a dark path

in which your understanding of marxism

will radically change

you will see marxism as a weapon of war

you will understand this war to be

absolute

in its ruthlessness brutality

and consequences

you will abandon any semblance of

bourgeois morality and moralism in

general

you will discard your sentimental

attachments to hipsterism

and wholesome chungu's chapo irony

you will spit upon aoc

and you will transform the battle space

within which the class struggle is being

waged

to an international geopolitical

confrontation between nuclear armed

superpowers

you will adopt

a ruthless machiavellian

klaus vicion and schmidty an

understanding of the political

that will impose upon you a strict

distinction between friend and enemy

in which the stakes are truly absolute

you can choose which pill

you can choose which pill

you take

and you can go the path of the cringe

craft brewery which side are you on

craft brew

or you can go

down the dark path

infrared has to offer

a dark marxism a dark communism

a dark marxism leninism

that will give you the necessary insight

with which

to withstand

the coming

american civil war

[Music]

the choice is yours

choice is yours

choice

is yours

of course

choose wisely

what the fuck

i've been witnessing sneako's

confrontations with hassan

if you don't know who sneako is

i didn't know who he was until yesterday

and i did see he was streaming with

destiny

and i have to admit

that destiny has uh

moved up in the world pretty well

those are the exact people i would want

to associate with if i could i just

don't have enough clout i'm not

i i haven't grown

my channel enough

by following enough

but

to be able to collaborate with sneako

and jideon and those people i mean

that's like a dream right i'd love to be

able to do that

because that's the crowd i like that's

like who i resonate with the most

but

the aiden ross kind of crowd those type

of people and also the dem the age

demographic zoomers i just like zoomers

i appeal i i like see i'm in between

millennials and zoomers there's a lot of

cringe from the zoomers

but they have the energy

and

millennia there's nothing i like about

millennials at all the only reason i'm

in between is because of my age i'm 26

so i'm literally in between millennials

and zoomers and the reason i'm not fully

a zoomer

is beyond like my actual age growing up

me and my friends used to hang out with

like the older brother we used to hang

out with the older kids

cool kids who were millennials so we

like adopted a lot of their ways of

thinking and shit

where we would be like oh yeah the

zoomers are super cringe whatever

but

i've abandoned that when i realized like

fuck these older millennials man a bunch

of fucking losers and bums

zoomers are actually where it's at music

all that kind of shit right so i'm i'm

more of a zoomer than i am a millennial

but uh

i think that's a that's a cool youtube

network that's being built right as much

as i don't like destiny's community and

destiny

that network of people it's like it's

entertaining and it's it's cool to watch

i wish i could be a part of it man

that's okay i don't i don't feel

entitled to any of that

honestly

but i gotta earn my keep right but

that's who i actually feel like i could

grow

like i really feel like i could grow if

i had

if i had um

an audience with that kind of audience i

feel like i could fucking grow

e that is the people i need right right

now again i have not grown since i've

gotten banned from twitch and i don't

like admitting that but i i'm telling

you the truth i haven't grown

uh my channel

but if i could like have an audience

with those people

i feel like

i could grow a decent amount now i would

i become like giant like one of them no

i would not become like his biggest

sneaker in judeo and shit

but it's like i feel like i could be a

comfortable 2k andy you know i figured i

could be like uh

you know

i feel like i could be at least 100k

subscriber andy from that shit you know

i'd get enough people that would find me

entertaining

and like my style and shit

so that that audience is definitely

without what i would like to tap into

and

uh good morning revolution thank you

holy fuck geoff holy fuck thank you man

see i need to fucking change the alert

hierarchy because

if you gift five versus you get 50 then

i can't even tell the difference unless

i squint my eyes thank you man

appreciate it

appreciate it

isn't youtube so great guys so on twitch

50 would just so 50 memberships on

twitch

that would

this the cost would be the same

come on i'm actually confused myself so

twitch fifty dollars would be ten subs

that'd be ten gifted sauce

um

10 gifted subs

and then twitch would take half of it

but youtube only takes 70

sorry they only take 30

i get 70.

so that's good right

i think but yeah that's pretty good

thank you andrew

right now

i think it's good for the community

though for me i make pretty much the

same amount on twitch you know

twitch i got banned so you can't expect

to get the

get more right

just because it's 70.

but

on the other hand the memberships like

i my best decision was making them one

dollar

because like everyone can be a member we

can have our own emotes and that's what

i love

see one of the things that makes me like

streaming still

on youtube is uh

our emotes like we can still have the kw

face and shit that's what i like

have you ever considered doing stand-up

yeah

thank you

too never considered doing stand-up

seems you have the personality to pull

it off i'd love to i'd love to do

stand-up

i would love to do that

and i i feel like i could i would love

to tour and just do stand-up comedy

and it doesn't even have to be comedy

i've talked to jackson about this like

yo jackson let's just go touring right

let's just give like

let's just like be on a stage and we

don't have to call it comedy we just

call it shooting the shit

and but we are going to make people

laugh right

so yeah

don't do stand-up i i like it though i

would have fun

it's all boomer and millennial boomers

uh that's okay

it's okay i i you know maybe i'll

breathe new um

life into it right

also doesn't that sam hyde guy do stand

up doesn't he do that

he's not the boomers his audiences are

boomers they're millennials right

and some zoomers

so i'm pretty sure it's not true oh yes

nico

challenged hassan to a boxing match

thank you so much

i got my prussian shirt on baby glory to

the german counter enlightenment boy

stay based you mongolian lebanon usa

gorilla son

all right we can't have the text of

speech say that but

thank you so much for the donut okay

um

thank you for

that see that's a nice donut i like that

text-to-speech don't know see you guys

that's

that's an example

oh my god

ned evangelist with a 50 thank you man

appreciate you man thank you

see that's a text-to-speech donor i like

i like that one you know

i don't like the ones that are just like

when i'm in the middle of talking about

something completely different there's

like guys

what do you think about

i'm gonna just call someone out right

now i forgot who sent this so don't be

offended but just like what do you think

about al ghazali has

i don't know man i'm not

what do you mean

i'm not even thinking that in that

direction

but yeah

yeah i you know personally speaking

i like

i've watched some sneako stuff and i

liked it actually i'm gonna talk about

that because i

i was actually shocked to see

sneako

jedeon

and fuentes on the same panel i was like

fucking surreal i was like what

but

i don't i'm not in the lore i'm not like

a guy who knows all the fucking lore of

all this shit so and i i i honestly i

just

i'm a i like to look forward i don't

want to care i don't care about all this

internet shit honestly

what big look on the one hand i haven't

grown a lot but on the other hand like i

do love the fact that it's like i don't

have to care about all this fucking

lore right i don't want to know about

the lore

but

i thought it was a really good

conversation thank you

the reason i thought it was a good

conversation

right and again i'm not a guy who knows

all this other lore that you know i'm

always being fucking crucified on like

holy fuck i don't i just don't give a

fuck about any of that

but what i did like about it is that

sneako is a guy who's

he's either black or he's mixed race i

don't know how he identifies

and he doesn't he's not

he's talking to fuentes right

so it's like where who's the white

where's the white supremacist

or the white nationalist or the not the

neo-nazi you know what i mean like

it seems like it was the white liberals

who got their panties in a bunch and

then these were two men just fucking

having a

because that was always my mentality too

like

okay if some you can talk i could talk

to anyone i talk to richard spencer i

don't give a fuck

you know

that's how men are supposed to be men

are supposed to be able

to stand their own ground

while not getting butt hurt

and being able to be civil being able to

be respectable and civil right

so i'm missing the part where

i'm missing maybe i'm really wrong

right

but i'm missing the part where it's like

oh my god this is the most cancelable

fucking thing in the world i watched

some of it i didn't watch all of it

and i'm

like what was so

fucking

what is what is the controversy about

like what

because they were talking about race

and i don't really feel like they

disagreed on

that much now i don't agree with the iq

shit because i don't believe in iq

i think iq is fake

but

why why should i be more offended by

that

than someone who tries to say we need to

go fucking

bomb afghanistan because they're not

friendly to trans people you know what

i'm saying

like in terms of what actually causes

more harm

this is this is the thing i'm this is a

fucking hill i'm gonna stand on i would

love anyone to challenge me on this this

is a hill i'm gonna fucking die on right

here

all of these fucking people who like

work for raytheon i'm gonna actually

pull up the tweet because it's it's you

wouldn't fucking believe it if you saw

it right it's fucking insane right

because this this comes from somewhere

this actually comes from somewhere

okay look at this

look at this

so this was a trans person

working as a fucking uh

aeronautical and software engineer drone

pilots all that kind of shit and by the

way it's a big thing in the us military

to have the lgbtq i mean like ruthless

fucking like coder and engineer and all

this crazy shit right you usually think

of lgbt people as like these like you

know like basically these drug addict

bums who are fucking like you know

millennial hipsters or whatever no there

are so many

of these like

gender vanguard people

who are like deep working for the

fucking pentagon and fucking cia and all

this crazy fucking shit right

like the actual people piloting the

drones because they've combined

this insane

you know

they've combined the anti-sociality that

you usually associate with the lumpin

with the fucking like actual deep state

that's how you know we're headed for

actual nazi fascism because that's what

that's what nazism was you took these

fucking criminals and thugs from the

fucking street you put them in fucking

positions of power

to rule the state that's what we're

dealing with right

plus drones equals this

but

i'm just interested in knowing

why is this allowed so that guy is

banned from everything

and people like i mean even

that guy's banned from everything but

this is allowed i don't fucking

understand right

i don't get it

i don't understand

why should i be more offended by this is

what i'm trying to say right

why should i be more offended by that i

don't fucking know right

i don't

but anyway um

i really

but most of all though i like the

apolitical people i like the people who

just entertain

in terms of what i watch on my spare

time i watch today on i watch aiden ross

yeah i watch andrew tate on aiden ross

sometimes i do i do

because it's entertaining right it's

good content

uh you know

i like watching that i don't i don't

like the political stuff i'm not a big

fan

you guys know that about me i don't

offline i don't fucking watch anything

political period

i watch now i watch some sneak-o stuff

to check it out and i've always watched

your day on i've always been a fan of

jadeon actually

that's on record

but i did kind of betray jideon i'm

gonna own up to that because during the

pokey beef

i did say i have to stay neutral

because pokemane

is uh

my queen

and i can't say i can't take sides

against her but y'all know i was on

today on side right

i'm just kidding i wasn't

i was neutral

but they squashed the beef just like i

predicted they would didn't they so

there you go

but no no here's what i did actually i

didn't no no actually i remember what i

did

i said i'm i will never speak ill of

pokeman but i did speak ill of twitch

for banning him i did speak ill of

twitch for banning him but i did say i

will never speak ill of pokeman ever

because

you guys know every donation you give me

goes to her you guys know that right

everything you guys give me goes to

pokeman in terms of gifted subs so if

you donate to haas i just want you to

know where your money's going and it's

going to pokeman and you say how can you

afford to stay at this place that you're

at

how can you afford like to pay your

bills and pay for food

and

i can afford doing all those things

because i am in the mafia

that's right i get most of my income

from illicit

if i say this shit like would that

actually like hold up in court i'm not

gonna say shit fuck it

that's that's a joke by the way it's not

even true but

no patreon goes to pokemon too

patreon goes to pokemon it all goes

pokemon all of it

see the thing is i'm in the mafia but

the one line i won't cross i'm not gonna

use my mafia money or pokeman that's

simping right

but

if i'm if i become a creator and spend

it on pokemane

fair game

that's just extra

that's just extra right

that's just extra

anyway guys um

i want to show you more

stuff so

but i watched some of the panel

and

the panel was entertaining

and uh

i will hand one thing to destiny i'll

hand one thing to him okay

i'm such a fucking generous guy aren't i

i'm so generous

he is really smart

networking with that crowd because they

are the future

the crowd being jedeon sneako

abba

and well maybe i'm just saying that

because that's my favorite side of the

youtube and the side of the internet and

then on twitch i like dating ross and

then people

but that's so smart if you get fucking

banned from twitch you lose your entire

fucking network

super smart

um going on panels with these people

instead of fucking leeches like stardust

and like you know fucking cringe nerds

like all those fucking political

streamers on twitch

they were the they had the least amount

of fucking content period

they were fucking content

they were such leeches they were fucking

content black holes

holy fuck political twitch the destiny

orbiters

there's no content none

and i'm not just saying that because i'm

biased there's no content

even hassan's orbiters

somewhat have content right

destinies orbiters no content they're

they were the worst fucking people right

so that network

honestly was not even a good business

strategy this network

of you know

the zoomer like red pill i don't know

you fucking call them they're not even

red pill because the red pill people are

more like fucking uh

the pickup artist these are like the

fucking funny zoomer people right

those people are way better right

to chill with

why would you willingly leak political

views on amazon

owned twitch because if i didn't have my

own political views i would literally

just be a full-time panelist

on zurka's show

that's all i would do

because

honestly on my own stream what am i

going to fucking say right

what am i going to do what am i going to

say

i will i will never have the opportunity

to shine in terms of like being an

entertainer who does non-political

content unless i'm in a fucking like

royale panel with other people okay if

i'm by myself what am i gonna fucking do

i'm gonna fucking yell at my lamp

no it's

stupid right

so if i was on twitch if i'm gonna off

if i'm gonna bring anything to the table

myself it of course it's got to be

political of course

i've got to bring politics into it

of course i do

yeah

there was a jackson ring dude don't

don't assume i'm just like getting good

views now i'm not all right

infrared is in a bad bad place

but uh i'm meeting with my

academic advisor

next week

so

i'm opening up that possibility if i can

go online law school perfect

probably what's probably going to happen

is i'm going to transfer to an online

law school

and start it next semester that's

probably what's going to happen

and how is that going to affect the

streams no it's not if it's online it's

not if it's online we're still golden

right i'll still be able to do this so

don't worry about that

um

do not worry about that

if it's online it's all good

because i i did spend a year

you know

doing law school finishing law so i'm

not gonna fucking let that go to waste

so i'm gonna do something with it either

get my masters

which is i won't have to do anything to

get that i just pretty much get my

masters right away because i did the one

year or i'm gonna finish it and get my

degree so we'll see

if you go to law school are you going to

finish the books

i might yeah i might if i have to go to

class i'll just like bring my laptop and

just finish my books

but

i'm not there i haven't completely lost

hope yet

but uh

still looking for my break you know a

big break on youtube

because i am for real ever since so the

month of august is probably the most

poorly performing month

in the history of infrared

probably the most i'm being real

[Music]

and uh

is that gonna be forever i

no it's not but

yeah i'm getting banned was a setback

you know

[Music]

dugan and vero fox's interviews when so

the vero focus thing is going to be a

debate and he's got it he needs it

before 12 p.m and i don't stream before

then

as soon as i start waking up at 9 00 am

we'll do it

it's not actually i'm i'm not

representing this well because i'm

blowing up on tick tock i am blowing up

on tick tock

so that's a thing i'm regularly getting

like

at least 10k views on tick tock

all the time

one of my clips on tick tock got 200k

views

so yeah i am blowing up on tick tock now

how that affects the youtube we'll see

but i am blowing up on tik tok that is

the thing

what's the tick tock i don't have fun i

have a tick tock with like 400 followers

that i haven't done anything with in

fucking

a year

but the gorilla army has been

coordinating making all these tick tock

accounts

and making clips using a software called

cap cut

for easy easy fucking views

any guys this is a good investment if

you want to get in on this

make clips blow up on tick tock and then

you know if you get super big you just

convert it into your cooking tick tock

whatever the fuck you want make money

off it

this is a very lucrative way to get easy

easy clouds as i'm trying to say

so this is a good business strategy

honestly

because it's yours i'm not going to take

a cut of your tick tock i'm not going to

be like okay if you want to use my clips

give me money no it's yours do whatever

you want

i hope we don't regret saying that no

i'm kidding i don't give a fuck

keep

it which states i got 200 views is when

i was talking about the iraq war

unfortunately that account got suspended

and i don't fucking know why

but they got suspended

obs real-time closed captions plug-in

what

i'm gonna check that out

cap cut is i've switched to cap cut i

used to use imovie i've switched to cap

cut cap cut is insane

oh my god that china does everything

better fucking america sucks at

everything

i have been asking for cap cut for so

fucking long

the how easy cap cut is pisses me off

because i realized all this time adobe

premiere on even imovie all the features

missing on imovie

cap cut

is free it's fucking free it's like none

of it is monetized

and you can do anything on it

holy shit you can do anything on it

you can do fucking anything on capco

holy fuck

so much fucking better

literally so much fucking better

all right guys i'm gonna show you more

stuff so we're gonna transition to

something dark

actually something really dark and

twisted and disturbing

i'm gonna show you two things

and uh

two dark things and then i'm gonna we're

gonna react to the good morning

revolution which is what we're all here

for right that's ultimately what we're

here for it's the good morning

revolution

and we're going to react to that but

first

yikes check this out

i have to show you i'm going to show you

two things right so first i'm going to

show you anti-feminist propaganda then

i'm going to show you pro-feminist

propaganda just to be safe sorry not to

be safe just to be fair right

so check this out the two having

experienced both i'm very much like you

know what

the surgical one was pretty big girl i

did it without the anesthesia well the

local anesthesia i didn't go under like

i stayed awake i wanted the whole

experience of it i'm like i want to look

into your face when you're sucking that

out of my body it's fucking kind of hot

why is that

look at this like deranged fucking

person literally a chazoid

freaking stirrups and i'm just like

21 and just like um

but your pussy looked really good where

they pulled that dead baby out of it

yeah you know they just this could be a

fetish wait a minute vacuum the whole

thing out wait a minute does abortion

spa also have an only thing only fans

abortions to help women pay for their

fucking abortions if people are into

that there's a fetish for that to watch

bloody fucking guts come out of a pussy

somebody is into that is this how we

make abortions okay in capitalism is it

is like we've got to find a way to not

only you know the doctors are getting

paid and it's safe and that yes yes yes

yes but also let's feed it back into the

machine like it's the only fans going

only fans paying insurance companies you

know that there is somebody that would

fucking come to watching a fucking dead

baby come out of it the more i'm

thinking about it the more i'm really

looking forward to porn 30 today oh yeah

yeah we don't have any abortions i'm so

sorry there's

we need to create an animated like

fetish sub genre of like abortion if

you're thinking of it there's got to

already be a point well it's probably on

like the deep web i have to go like

looking on tour for it

i actually think these two women should

be thrown in prison and not only do i

think they should be

thrown in prison

but i think they should be deported to

afghanistan

if you think i'm joking i'm not i really

do think they should be deported to

afghanistan

and that is not a joke

by the way this is exactly what i was

talking about when it came to the whole

abortion thing everyone was kept talking

what about all like the economic

conditions okay but like this is what

this debate and discourse created two

extremes where some people want to

completely fucking ban it under any

circumstances even if it's gonna kill

right the other people

that's what this is you want to know why

this fucking happened because these

people decided that abortion is

absolutely

morally acceptable

that's psychotic no it's fucking not

abortion's a horrible thing and it it's

deserving of context there should always

be a good reason and a good fucking

context

shouldn't have the right to get an

abortion for whatever fucking reason you

want you want to know why you shouldn't

because look at this shit that's the

extension of that fucking mentality oh

well it's insane since there's like no

significance in abortion at all we can

just like start fucking making porn of

it and having people fucking come to it

that is fucking psychotic

of course

life i mean we don't know what life is

we can't define it we can't define life

if we can't define life don't play with

it like this even if they're joking it's

like still a really twisted fucked up

form of humor right

you can recognize life is sacred and

also recognize

that there are certain contexts

in which an abortion probably

you know

is reasonable

right but this american view where you

have to have two extremes and it's

either completely okay in all contexts

are under any circumstances or it's like

always wrong and every circumstance is

the fucking problem and that's what this

is this is exactly what i said would be

the case you're like no has no one wants

to get an abortion for any like

arbitrary reason yeah you're right

there's some people that are like

entertaining there's some people

sexualizing their abortions saying that

it's a turn on and it was super hot

and that they should form fucking only

fans

abortions

just because oh it's legal anyway we may

as well

again because this has been made a

discourse

there are literally going to be

psychotic perverts who go to abortion

clinics

as an extension of of like what they're

talking about here and i'm not kidding

maybe before it wouldn't be the case

because they turned it into a discourse

you're gonna start getting people

fantasizing like hmm is abortion okay

can i sexualize abortion why not

everything can be questioned why not

right so that's probably what's gonna if

look america is a country where if you

can think of it it's gonna fucking

happen

right

if you can think of it someone's done it

civilization is out of the question

so yeah i mean that is just fucking

demonic thank you so much

and abortions are both sinister

so

well so the common thread here is that

it's actually not feminism it's sex

positivity and sex work

whatever the fuck that shit means the

pro sex work contingent

are the people we're attacking today

right because look at this so

uh i'm speaking of now this is a man who

i think

um

deserves to

unironically i think this is a man who

should be treated with the maximal

penalty

possible by the law

uh which would hypothetically be a

beheading fully legal and fully allowed

in a hypothetical um

legalization of

corp of um

judicial beheadings where like you know

the the court rules you get beheaded

right

so let me show you this uh man this

person

right

so this uh guy

was a landlord

and he

forced a homeless mother of five to

write

to sign a housing contract that required

her to um

that required to give him sexual access

for five years

barred

and believe it or not the article is way

fucking worse right

so

so uh because she refused to uh you know

have sex with him or something

she

he coerced her into signing a form for

direct consent for sexual intercourse

uh oh my god it's just fucking this i

mean this is this is the bourgeois

legalism this is bourgeois legality

this is the per this is why i'm fucking

prejudice against boomers because they

form everything formalized

no distinction between the ethics of law

and the ethics

of their personal lives

and that is fucking disgusting

that is sickening this is the

institutional mentality that these

fucking people have

right

formalizing

formalizing sex

is the most disgusting product of

modernity

both in the form of prostitution

formalizing it in the form of paying for

it with money

in the form of contracts

that is the worst abomination of one of

the worst abominations of the modern era

is the formalization of sex

so

this scum

so i'm gonna say something out of pocket

here because

i'm not gonna say it directly

but

i'm gonna be a little bit

empty

so

look at how this website is designed

um

so they i'll give you a hint it's

ableism so look at how this what does

this remind you of this font and this

website

the way it's

like is this doesn't this kind of remind

you of um

specific

disorder or something okay well

there you go

there you go

okay

there you go

there you go

there you go

so she was a homeless mother of five she

had five kids

i mean yeah we need a sharia law

morality police of some kind because

this is probably the most disgusting

thing i read all day

and uh

i think the only

solution

she and her kids had been living week to

week at a residential hotel is this a

civilized society

is this a fucking civilized society this

is worse than animals

so we you're gonna tell me we live in a

society

where you can be a homeless widowed

woman

with five kids

and you have to go hotel to hotel

and if you want somewhere permanent for

your five kids

you have to prostitute yourself out to

some disgusting degenerate scumbag

who happens to own the property

tell me how that makes sense

look if we believe in traditional values

this applies to

a woman who is widowed and has five kids

in our society

is treated like a fucking single man

because we're all citizens before the

law so there's no distinctions between

us at all we're all the same you could

be a widowed woman with five kids but

we're all just this fucking

we're just all individuals right

i'm sorry that's a fucked up society

that's a fucking sick society

and that's the individualism i have a

problem with

you could be a single widowed woman

homeless five kids

and you could be a fucking man

like me 25 years old

and you are treated the same way by

society does that make sense

does it make sense to treat haas the

same way as a woman with five kids

with no one to take care of her nothing

does that does that make sense to you

guys

from a basic human perspective

if you understand the laws of

how this shit works the human laws of

whatever

family values does that make sense i

mean look if i'm homeless i could

fucking do anything i could literally be

on the side of the road

and i could fucking survive probably no

problem i could take care of myself

but a woman with five kids

is thrown out onto the street and

expected to fend for herself

as a human being and that doesn't make

any sense

that just doesn't does that make sense

to you

because if that doesn't make sense to

you might be a communist if that doesn't

make sense to you it all makes sense to

me

because if you have a

solid society then a woman who is not

married but has kids

like a widow or something i mean

she's supposed to be

given some benefit by the community to

survive

some like means of uh

you know what i mean

and by the way this guy is a feminist

this is feminism because he's doing a

consensual

contract

it's consent

you know what they're gonna say guys

they're gonna say this is like any other

form of labor unironically the advocates

of prostitution are gonna tell us that

this scumbag

who is

forcing this woman to give him blowjobs

she has five kids and she's homeless to

be able to stay in her apartment and

he's making that a legal contract a

trade they're gonna say that would be

the same thing as her having to work at

wendy's to support her kids well it's

the same thing

it's the same

all work is the same oh so you're saying

a woman who's homeless and has five kids

who has to give this fucking man blow

jobs

to have a roof over her head

that would be the exact same thing as

her having to have a job to survive

those are the same thing this is not

like an outrageous

affront to basic human dignity in a

fundamental way and you don't see the

difference well you don't see the

difference if you're a thought slime or

if you're some other fucking degenerate

absolutely clueless and brainless

fucking idiot

you're not gonna fucking see any

difference

this is an emergency oh my god riff this

is

oh god

okay

ah

let me wrap this up

samira are you in the chat right now

i'm gonna have to fucking text her

jackson are you there

all right well

i'll just send it to both of them

oh my god what a fucking mess

[Music]

all right i'm gonna focus on this all

right i'm gonna focus on this

um

thank you so much gr thank you man

thanks for telling us about cap cut this

is a great tool for getting content out

yeah it is and it makes me want to turn

out more content as well which i am but

what i'm going to start doing is just

recording

non-streamed content

like i'm going to do jordan peterson

style message for marxist so that's

going to be a lot of fun

but

see the thing is is that

this is just

according to feminism this is like the

sex work whatever people this is fine

because it's all just a contract and

it's all consensual

and uh that's why i support the taliban

in some hypothetical video game-esque

ways but an american taliban

um

would be quite the destruction

by the way the american taliban doesn't

have to be muslim it could be a

christian one right but just some

fundamental destruction of bourgeois

legalism

and formalism

and the creation of an actual civil

society of you know what

i'm gonna talk to logo about this i'm

not gonna talk about this on stream i'm

gonna run it by him and see what he

thinks

because i think he got the cowboy thing

he that i'm gonna i'm gonna run it by

him right

anyway

um

okay we have to we we are like oh my god

we are so behind so we're

oh god i don't even know if i have time

let's do it fuck it communist party usa

i'm not gonna rush it either

all right so we're gonna do the good

morning revolution

the united front what it is and isn't

we're gonna react to this

i wanna go

home

i won this is 30 minutes long and that's

okay because we're gonna

do the speed

revolution and welcome to our program

this morning john case glad to see you

hello good to see you and anita uh

rosanna is taking the day off well we

got a lot to talk about this morning um

and we want to go into some basic

fundamental

um

uh rules over road uh marx's concepts

this morning uh with respect to the

united front and popular front concepts

what they are and what they aren't and

so uh scott and john and anita we're

going to be asking all of you to reach

deep

into your marks and angles and lennon

and dimitrov and henry winston and

elizabeth early flynn and angela davis's

depths of their thinking and bring it

forward update it because marxism is not

a dogma but a guide to action and we

want to guide our action we want to

guide our action in the following weeks

because we got a big

big important midterm election coming up

that may not only decide help decide the

future of the country but perhaps even

of the planet

so what i'm presuming is that this is

going to be a response to my article so

i want to actually see what they have to

say

and i expect this might take a while to

respond to so

strap strap up guys because we're in for

it this is going to be a polemic i might

actually write a response to this

actually so keep keep an eye out for

that

um

but first let's uh talk a little bit

about uh

the generic ballot that uh is being

calculated by the talking heads and the

experts anita and they say that uh it's

basically tied but the congressional

about it is basically time 48

for the fascist team

um and sometimes i think it's a little

bit too strong to just label all of the

republicans fascists when i think about

some of them oddball candidates that

they're putting forward for the house

and the senate i'm not so sure i just

read about one joker

first of all i want to applaud

joe sims and i say this very sincerely

and very earnestly

our community does memes of joe sims

but i don't want

comrade sims to take this as a form of

disrespect i hope he takes it as a you

know good faith and the memes are not

derogatory they're just like you know

the the the punished joe where he's got

like the eye patch and it's like it's

from a meme where like this idea of a

movie basically but

i want comrade sims to know that of

everyone

in the central committee

our community

genuinely uh likes you right i and i

like you right

um

i think you're he's a good leader i

think he's the most reasonable one

um

he uh he has a noteworthy history

from what i know and i think he's being

very reasonable here where he's saying i

don't think it's you know fascist is a

strong word he's saying it right so i

bet he acknowledges that

um

but

i think joe sims is a reasonable person

i do

i think that if i were to have the

opportunity to sit down and talk to him

and maybe i'm just not big enough yet

right

i've kind of fallen off a little bit

right

uh but if i get myself back

to the point where you know i'm gonna be

a significant

you know tool for the party

i would like to one day sit down and

talk to

comrade sims

but

we like joe sims i like joseph's

now i i don't like anita

because she called us incels before

which was a personal attack actually

and i don't agree with anything scott

ever has to say

i'm being honest

but joe sims i do like

i'll i will say that

buffalo who uh praised hitler and called

for the assassination of uh the attorney

general and i'm like you know

these are first boys

yeah it's your district you're gonna

have to go ahead and handle it but so

anita um

uh i keep asking you about my home state

uh how does it look for mr ryan i think

it's looking great for ryan right now uh

he's um he's he's got a four-point lead

over jd vance and people are really

concluding that jd vance is a phony

they're recognizing

okay so this is a problem right right

off the bat all right so ryan is hawkish

on china explicitly

and he's run his campaign

against china

so how is that better than jd vance

why is why is jd vance the worst one jd

vance has opposed the war in ukraine

if you're going to choose the lesser

evil i don't think you should choose

between them at all but jd vance is the

better candidate from the perspective of

an anti-imperialist popular front

but i personally don't think you should

choose between them i think you should

just focus on building your own party

first

and

focus on building a popular front with

people outside the two-party system

that he's a phony he has a history of

saying that he doesn't really like ohio

he doesn't like to live there he doesn't

like to spend time there he'd rather

spend time in san francisco where he was

working when uh the silicon valley uh

you know uh conservative activist peter

thiel billionaire decided he was going

to buy himself a couple of senators and

um you know picked jd vance one of his

proteges to run in ohio because jd vance

had that ohio connection but he's not

really connecting with the people and

people recognize that he's not um he may

be interested in uh defending uh or

fighting against those people who are on

the january 6 committee and he's got

lots of plans for you know having this

uh you know hearing and that hearing and

bringing the you know but he doesn't

have any plans to really help the people

of ohio and i think people are really

recognizing that tim ryan is a

home-grown guy and he's really you know

been fighting for a while for quite some

time the working class okay this this is

such a silly i mean you know tim ryan

again he's a pro-imperialist

anti-china hawk

so i have no idea why you'd be saying

that not

um are you aware tim ryan

has created his campaign around beating

china and that's the extent of his

pro-working-class views

that's not always you know

we certainly don't agree with everything

brian says he's a little confused about

socialism sometimes but he really does

have his heart with the working people i

think in

the thing is is he doesn't it's a

complete sham

he's like he has this very fox

working-class aesthetic

in his campaign videos but he doesn't

resonate with the working class i've

seen the polling the workers of ohio

anita you're lying right now i don't

know if you're lying intentionally or if

it's you're just not informed but the

working class of ohio is not voting for

tim ryan at all

in any capacity

i'm from the midwest and i know this

there's no fucking tim ryan who's

winning over any midwest working class

period

especially in your night of the woods up

there in the morning valley i hear tim

ryan is concerned confused about

socialism all the time but

that's another story but i know four

percent is too close for comfort that's

almost a statistical tie how's that

popular looking in west virginia john

case i mean how the republicans are

gonna are gonna prevail in um in the

midterms in west virginia um

that's the lesson of kansas because

abortion rights is a democratic issue a

lot of stupidity they don't do anything

except cut their taxes in the end so uh

i think the fact that joe accomplished

or will take credit for accomplishing

something especially the medicare

provisions in that bill um

there's some hope so i think it's worth

pushing i just wish our candidates was a

little younger and a little stronger

don't underestimate the power of the

women's vote that's the lesson of kansas

because abortion rights is a democratic

issue but it's also a bracing bed bread

bed

slow down joe it's also a basic bread

and butter issue there's a lot of people

i mean you know it's gonna affect you

know half the population's uh ability to

work and and and and uh take care of the

children and and and have a life and

that's a big motivating factor i made

the point

at the board meeting that in kansas you

had a cross-class cross ideological

boundaries uh movement of women and men

uh to defend a woman's right to choose

um and on the basis of that we always

emphasize uh focusing on independent

forces and so i i posed a question to

the board which one opposed to the

national committee should not in light

of kansas our concept of political

independence expand

okay so i don't know what he's talking

about with regard to kansas

but this is where joe sims is raising

finally an important question

what about the political independence of

the party of the working

class he's actually raising the question

and you'll see he gets specific about

what he means by that

very soon keep an eye on this all right

focus

to increase the forces in the women's

movement which is an ideologically

diverse uh politically diverse uh uh

cohort to uh identify that also with the

forces of political independence am i

right are you gonna sh are you going i'm

not sure what you mean by forces of

political defense

and wow look at his tone it almost seems

like joe sims

you know so scott is shooting down what

joe sims is saying usually

and joe sims is trying to say what about

the political independence of the

working class which is supposed to be

ideologically and politically diverse so

look what scott says

you understand it's not the elders who

are the problem in the cpu usa

the elders are never the ones who are

the problems it's the these people who

are

kind of like

older millennials or younger gen xers

that are the vanguard of opportunism

both in the communist party of canada

and in the cpusa so let's continue

what

political independence that is to say

organizations and movements that are not

tied explicitly to the democratic party

i mean there you go

there you go he said it

i mean this surprised even me

right

but i have so much respect for the

courage

for comrade sims to raise this issue

because i understand there's a lot of

forces at the leadership

and at the you know a little bit lower

levels that will do anything in their

capacity to shoot this down

and i want joe sims to know

that we are behind him fully we are

fully behind comrade sims

we are fully behind comrade sims

and i i i have to finish this

um segment

before i type my comment but i'm gonna

leave a comment on this video to let joe

sims know

we are fully behind him

right because i think his heart is in

the right place

i think a lot of the things he said

before were shot down by people like

scott

and i think he does want to move in in a

direction of independence from the

democrats

and if that's the case we are fully

behind them

um i mean they're you know the women's

movement has

traditionally strongly um you know it

has strongly tended to vote democrat out

of the two parties um but yeah i think

you know in light of kansas in light of

how extreme in light of how aggressively

the republican party has you know not

just turned its back but but you know

spat in the face of of women uh that you

know there

there is there is a change in in

composition and orientation and

independence there i don't think that'd

be unreasonable uh to say at all

when we talk about the forces of

political independence we're talking

about those uh organizations and

movements that have separate fundraising

separate uh go tv get out the vote

efforts uh that have in a certain

certainty separate platforms and

programs from either the two parties

so i'll um

offer some thank you all that's all i

appreciate you look how press the spooks

look joe wake up

yeah i mean i think he's waking up all

right

i think he's waking up

i hope he is thank you johnny the cpus

is extremely corrupt the american

gorillas need to fix this party also i

hope your neck is feeling better

underscore sweat it thank you johnny it

is feeling a little bit better i think

i'll be fine in a few days hopefully you

know i'll be able to lift go back to the

gym and lift soon

but see guys

you have to understand why i want to

shoot offer this to

comrade sims is that

the independent the fundraising is not

maybe independent from the party um

officially but it's not independent from

the same mega donors that fund the

democratic party itself it's still tied

to these philanthropies and foundations

that come from the imperialist uzuzi

they're not grassroots fundraising

initiatives in other words

the infrastructure was created

externally from the ruling class

that's something that should be kept in

mind

what i usually thought about that

question in terms of you know talk about

the political independence of the

working class like you know its capacity

to how close are we to developing um an

independent party of of labor uh you

know um how how much you know how close

we'd have the infrastructure to uh to do

that um so are you thinking of you know

another another kind of like an

independent party of women as well or

anything

see scott is a menshevik scott is a

stageist because scott thinks that

there's a stage in which it's necessary

to build a party of the working class

when the communist party is supposed to

be the party of the working class as far

as building a popular front is concerned

it's not quite the same thing

but the party of the working class

should already be the communist party

you don't just wait for the proper stage

in which the communist party is

independent from the democrats it's

already supposed to be independent no

matter what alliances it enters into

it's already supposed to be independent

that there are movements and

organizations in the both in the

democratic movement

and in the labor movement

thank you so much

uh

scott

democratic party and so when we heard

people let me finish to participate in

the political process we say go to the

central labor council in your town or go

to the union in your town they have

independent uh

get out the vote they have

mailing lists they're independent phone

banks work with them develop ties with

them that's really important and now um

there are i don't know dozens there's

nothing more move on uh uh

that that that

yeah but i think the problem joe is that

you're not understanding the source of

the democrats power the source of the

democrats power doesn't come from the

artificial civil society that was

created

by it

it comes from the same ruling class

that funded that civil society

the source of the democrats power is not

in some grassroots you know

i mean you mentioned unions

which i think is probably the best

suggestion you you know here

i mean probably the most apt one is if

you want the strategy but even then the

unions are not based in the local union

councils the union movement is it's a

machine it's a corporation which is tied

to you know monopoly capital

which that's a fact it comes from the

top down it doesn't come from the bottom

up

at that function uh inside and outside

of the democratic party and therefore

it's really important for us and others

who are interested in forming a third

political party to develop ties and

relationships with them because you

can't have a narrow sectarian approach

that's the point i'm making

but i think i broadly agree with that

you know if you can form independent

ties

with these unions especially if these

unions represent

significant portions of the working

class i think

i i think joe's proposal is a very good

one

because he's saying this would be the

foundation of being able to form a third

party

and i broadly agree with that

i just think to what extent do you

underestimate the central union

leadership's

embeddedness within the democratic

political machine

that's what i would suggest

but let me continue

um the reason that we uh support and

we're so impressed by what took place in

kansas is that it uh uh was an

expression of popular front um realities

in real life that what came together was

a cross-class uh cross uh organizational

cross-movement uh rejection of what the

supreme court did and and that

and that in order to defeat the forces

of the extreme right you gotta have a

broad concept you gotta

see this is just not true this was the

democrats using a wedge issue

to win in kansas

this is and yeah they did mobilize all

of these like organs of civil society

which again are funded by the same

sources that fund the democrats there's

no actual independence here i think joe

sims

you've got the completely wrong idea

here

bring uh various forces together and

that we should not be afraid of that and

that idea scott if i can call on you

again has this idea in lenin

into tactics uh who who and i wonder if

if you could tell us about how he

developed that concept of bringing

together broad forces and what was the

key condition for doing so could you

talk about it

no

no no lenin's two tactics is not

when the institutional and artificial

civil society

that's already basically controlled by

the democrats

is emboldened and mobilizes for a wedge

issue

that has nothing to do with the actual

content of the class struggle this is

just wrong

i am going to have to write something in

response to this oh my god fuck

my favorite classics

uh so it was written really uh as an

analysis of two opposing tactics um put

forth by two sides of the of the russian

social democratic labor party um and uh

and in the context of this 1905

democratic uh insurrection upstairs

revolution against uh bizarre um and all

the marxists recognized that this was

not a socialist revolution it was a

worldwide democratic revolution right um

and one section of of the of the party

said it's a personal revolution let them

take care of it let them do the work and

then we'll um just be the party of

opposition and then at the end when

their revolution falls apart we'll step

in and whatever basically and lenin said

no that's that's completely nonsensical

right because um

they can't do it alone but the the

bourgeois liberals are not consistent in

the struggle for democracy because their

power as members of the capitalist class

is not democratic so they're always

going to seek to compromise if it's

always for the benefit of the working

class that democracy be extended as far

as possible and only the working class

can consistently fight for democracy

every form of democracy um so

okay scott but you're missing the class

context because there's a class context

here

the mention back position which is what

you

alluded to before

didn't just say let's just like wait for

everything to have they said

specifically let's let the big

bourgeoisie take care of it

what lenin said you have to have a class

analysis here because what lenin said

was that the small bourgeoisie in the

countryside the rural masses

would be the basis

for an actual

immediate democratic struggle

allied with the proletariat

the reason you don't see that in kansas

is because it's not some independent

bourgeoisie that's

allying with the democratic party to

have a an overwhelming victory against

the republicans on the issue of abortion

that's not what you see you see ngos and

an artificial institutional civil

society that has its basis still in the

monopoly bourgeoisie and not in any kind

of rural masses which is what lenin was

referring to

you know

going alongside its political

counterpart because it's has it was

increasingly

um

emboldened

to rally the urban constituent bases and

the youth

over this wedge issue which is a

cultural psyop precisely to get people

to go out and vote for the democrats the

youth specifically

so i mean

it's a that's why wedge issues are

reactionary because nobody's asking are

these democratic candidates

you know are they anti-imperialists are

they against the war are they for our

constitutional rights are they care

about the first amendment i mean no one

at no one has to care about those

questions when you have a wedge issue

which is strictly um

strictly about

you know

one thing one thing which is abortion

so this is just a completely misleading

false

presentation of what happened

so

the role of the working class and the

role of the communist party is to say

that the working class needs to not

stand back from these you know

other democratic struggles but to get in

there and become the leading force put

the working-class mark on it um because

the way we get to socialism is by making

sure that the working class is at the

forefront of every

uh kind of democratic struggle to

struggle for

okay there's a difference between

democratic struggles and cultural uh

struggles

and the case could be made that access

to abortion is a democratic struggle

certainly in the context of the russian

empire it would have been

but that is not the form it has taken in

the united states there's nothing

inherently about the abortion struggle

in the united states that is tied to the

securing of our constitutional rights

vis-a-vis the growing imperialist state

a pro-imperialist position that wants to

strengthen the fbi and

strengthen the patriot act and increase

imperialist intervention is perfectly

compatible with a abortion with a

position that's you know either

pro-abortion or soft on abortion

we see that very clearly

women's rights the struggle for black

liberation the struggle for national um

equality uh all all of those things

right and that that means we're gonna be

fighting alongside people that are not

uh members of it aren't even always

friendly too often not friendly to the

working class uh but we have to be

confident

wait wait so you're saying that's okay

that we can do this with these like

azovite naslibs nazi liberals

these malthusian elitist people but you

can't do it alongside

the maga populist rule working class

because they are ideologically different

than you so what you're basically saying

scott is that

yeah we can sacrifice the class struggle

for ideology for the sake of cultural

agreement on ideological issues

but when it comes to the actual

political democratic struggle for our

constitutional rights oh that's out the

window that doesn't matter when it comes

to things like abortion or like gay

pride

flags and marches and things of that

nature oh yeah i mean that's what so you

think the content of the democratic

struggle

is about promoting the latest cultural

agendas of the progressive bourgeoisie

the progressive bourgeoisie quote

working unquote is the force that can

carry that struggle forward um and

like lenin says don't worry about

getting dissolved into um

you know bourgeois democratic struggle

by doing that what really dissolves us

is when we kind of step off to the side

and fail to put our mark on democratic

struggle um

so the the we're not afraid lenin argued

of cross-class coalitions i need to know

that's right but the main point is that

the working class has to fight for

leadership of it um and it was

i'm gonna leave a comment because

um

assemmuck this piece of shit fucking

youtube player

okay i'm gonna leave a comment

firstly i applaud

comrade

sims for raising the issue of building

political independence

[Music]

[Music]

from the democratic party

however scott is completely mistaken in

terms of

his interpretation

of lenin's two tactics he is missing the

crucial class

element actually

the united front

the popular front comes later in the

1930s

no way entails a blindness

to the class struggle in the name of

the democratic struggle

the question of whether the culture war

these wedge issues and the current

institutionally manufactured

culture war

is even a form of democratic struggle

is a separate issue

frankly it is not

democratic struggle confines itself to

the negative liberties

of bourgeois right

bourgeois right

in addition to

um

sorry that's actually not exactly

correct

democratic struggle

finds itself

bring

principally to the defense

to the defense of constitutional

liberties

republican liberties

in that regard

so to actually wage democratic struggle

would situate one

i mean building a coalition with

forces like the libertarians

even the militias

which

recognize how much the constitutional

and republican liberties have been

overturned by the bourgeois

state

sorry by the imperialist state

and this is a quite literal matter of

fine print

reality the patriot act

the overgrown federal agencies etc

objectively have overthrown

the democratic republic

in the constitution

but let us put that on the back burner

and simply

entertain

his view

that these constitute democratic

struggle

he neglects to mention that for lenin

the class analysis was still vital

not

any class blindness

that

ends in a coalition between the

proletariat

and the

hegemonic or big bourgeoisie

but a specific strategic coalition

between

the proletariat and the democratic

petty

and small agrarian bourgeoisie that was

developing in the countryside

which lenin

developed his analysis of and his

development of capitalism in russia

series

the

conception of the

united front

and the popular front

are formed

along the axis

a head

notions

implicit

and explicit with gromski

notion of hegemonic and counter

hegemonic forces

an alliance with the hegemonic

bourgeoisie

which

is the

party find you

is the class based

true class

base of the democratic party

[Music]

is unthinkable

that is since

an alliance with

the hegemonic bourgeoisie

means an opportunist

position of the defense of the status

quo

this is not a revolutionary position nor

even a democratic one since the

hegemonic

monopolist

bourgeoisie

inherently tends toward open

dictatorship

the destruction of basic democratic

liberties

in order to secure its

monopolist position and foreclose the

possibility

capitalist competition

permanently

[Music]

the you know

so no what you say here is just pure

opportunism

was the alliance the social democrats

made

the imperialist bourgeoisie at the

outset of the first

imperialist

world war

or

a uh

united front

no it was outright

betrayal

and selling out

here is

is decisive comrades

[Music]

do you have an actual basis for the

independence

of your

your position

you can claim you are merely entering

into an alliance

the

imperialist

backed democrat

bourgeoisie

[Music]

but what kind of alliance is this when

all of the infrastructure

[Music]

all of the ngos all of the

institutions

all

of this

civil society is under the complete

control

of this class

partner

where do you fit in except being the

cheer leaders

of the already powerful monopoly

comrades this is shameful and pitiful

one merely sells themselves

as a volunteer with

an existing

or an existing power

rather than an actual equal and partner

in struggle which is impossible

in an alliance with the monopoly

bourgeoisie

the rule

teddy bourgeoisie

the rule working class

on the other hand

[Music]

opens up new possibilities for a popular

and united front that is since there

there is a ripe

is an institutional vacuum

the possibility

of forging your own counter hegemonic

civil society institutions

organizations

culture

[Music]

etc

is possible since it is not already

manipulized by the hegemonic forces

of the ruling class you can build an

actual popular front there

where communists

who are all

supposed to represent the independent

party of the american working class

could have a decisive

and powerful role

lenin

recognized imperialism

the primary contradiction

abortion has been turned

into a cultural issue which is not about

women's rights

but about

the institutional

a war between the

imperialist

institutional civil society

and rural america

the reason is because

since communists have lost the will and

courage to

organize the rural working class

evangelical churches

have instead

so the rural working class is deeply

religious and for this reason opposes

abortion

here is the true class analysis comrades

and harking

on about how this is about women's

rights

is just

liberal and bourgeois confusion

it has no objective basis in

any materialist analysis of why

people have disagreeing

views on this matter

as a social

mass

as a class

what is the

material basis

of the institutions be they churches

or be they ngos

institutions sorry ngos

institutions

shape people's

views

which demographics do they target

which democrat

are they receptive to this is what

materialist

receptive to their message

this is what materialist analysis means

comrades

not moralizing and arcing on

about how everyone who opposes

[Music]

abortion just wants to oppress women

someone saved the comment if they

deleted because i put a lot of effort in

that

and leave your own thoughts and comments

don't harass them don't be disrespectful

but just leave your own thoughts and

leave your own comments as well

like i always tell you to

by the way you mentioned it who took the

position that nah we can't

unite with bourgeoisie because against

the greater enemy of the uh tsar because

that would pollute it'll create

illusions in the working class uh that

wasn't mentioned

no it wasn't joe sims you're wrong the

mensheviks did want to ally with the big

bourgeoisie it was the democratic petty

bourgeoisie they didn't want to enter

into an alliance with you're wrong

for all of you people out there who are

criticizing the communist party

for supporting the idea of a cross-class

coalition because it will pollute it'll

give illusions to the workers you are

taking a mentioning position anita

no joe you're wrong

and i hope my comment will clarify the

matter and i can cite lenin directly if

you want if you don't if you're not

educated about

you're wrong

you're completely wrong

i i forgot to add that in the comments

so someone someone comment this

you're wrong the menshviks did advocate

for an alliance with the big bouzoise

it was the bolsheviks who advocated an

alliance with the rural petty

bourgeoisie which in the american

context would mean small business owners

the mensheviks were allying with the

hegemonic liberal wuzwazi it was the

mensivics that wanted to ally with the

cadets unnecessarily against the black

hundred threat and actually lenin

attacked them for that that they were

using the black hundred as an excuse to

ally with the big city liberal

bourgeoisie aka the cadet party so

someone please comment that because i

forgot to add it into my comments

someone please comment that

and uh it's a it's a

formally left-wing position that is

basically right-wing in its orientation

you're well you're right of course joe i

think um i mean dimitrov talks about the

people's from the all people's front

against fascism um and especially in its

electoral form which is what we're

talking about when we come up to the

midterm elections for example um it has

to be it has to include elements of

other classes um that's that is the way

it can succeed and we can't uh

this is nothing but rank opportunism

this is nothing but rank opportunism

period no one's talking about whether

other classes are involved it's which

other classes that matters

are they hegemonic or counter-hegemonic

if you're supporting the hegemonic

ruling class

like the fucking social democrats did in

world war one obviously it's not

comparable

it shows just to bring it forward uh

today uh we we can't forming an

electoral coalition that just includes

very left-wing sectarian groups is is

not building a on all people's uh crunch

against fascism or and not definitely

not letting the working class lead the

movement uh the uh democratic rights and

and you know preventing fascism uh

or fighting against it at least so i

think that working class on leadership

of every step of the way is really

critical uh especially today

so john gays in two tactics you find the

embryonic idea of the united front

lennon didn't call it that then uh they

waited until the early 20s but the idea

of a cross-class coalition uh was first

articulated by him as it applied to

russia in those days um it was

resurrected and given a name at the

sixth congress of the common term uh it

was called united working class front

man um then uh lennon died and there was

a big battle you know between trotsky

and zenovia and lennon and bukhari and

all the rest of them um and it was

abandoned it was abandoned john case

during the third period and they called

the social democrat social fascist

nope

this is wrong

um

they just did not see the social

democrats as

they saw the social democrats as

representing the hegemonic bourgeoisie

and they were right at that time they

were

so you're wrong joe you're wrong about

this of course we make something too uh

and what happened hitler came to power

mussolini came to power you know a

barbarism began to stop the world that

was not because of the communist party's

position and i have proof of that

because people say if the communists

merely combine their votes with the

social democrats

then they could have stopped hitler nope

because if you actually study the

history of how the communist party got

its votes it got a lot of those votes

from people who would have otherwise

voted for the nazis meaning the only

reason the communist party had enough

credibility to get that many votes is

because of the way they position

themselves against the social democrats

if the communists would have advocated a

popular front during the third period

time

they wouldn't have

those all of their votes would have just

went to the nazis not the social

democrats

wait wait wait wait wait

and it was resurrected

it was resurrected by dimitrov but

doesn't have application today i mean

you know russia was rushing back down i

mean he just had the czar and the ruling

and the bourgeoisie he had a small class

in the presence all right

but now the situation is much much more

complicated why do the communists in

your opinion still hold to this position

are you asking

i don't entirely embrace joe you need to

understand 90 of russians were peasants

and there was a bourgeois tendency among

those peasants because they were small

holding subsistence peasants or some of

the peasants were selling their shit

becoming capitalists

that's what lenin would meant by a cross

capital across class alliance he did not

fucking mean allying

with the establishment you're just so

fucking wrong about that

erase your entire description there um

but let me just say that with regards to

two tactics that uh i

i don't think that either side was

necessarily opposed to cross-class

coalitions depending on the context but

i think the major point there that linen

made and the one that could be

at least he

said the truth the mensheviks were not

against cross-class coalitions this guy

knows his shit

he made today um is that um you know his

point was is that if you don't overthrow

the autocracy all pre-tensions to

democracy are ridiculous and um that uh

you have either gonna have a thorough

going voice revolution or you're gonna

have a half one that leaves the tsar in

charge of the army and you're all gonna

get uh it's gonna be a kind of

revolution and you turn out to be

completely correct about that um today i

think the question of you know

cross-class coalitions is always

important even no matter what

perspective you have on socialism you're

trying to lead an entire nation entire

country which is made up of a lot of

different class forces and uh so i think

that political leadership means leading

the country you know not just leading

your class but on the other hand it

doesn't uh

okay you're right but the communist

party is supposed to be leading the

proletarian class you can enter into a

popular front that represents all those

other classes

whatever but the communist party has to

be the party of the working class

working class of unity is the core of

any actual power of a popular front

against some common enemy um you know

like in kansas right there are many

different class forces but there are

opposed to constraints on abortion women

cannot participate in society if they

can't control the reproductive

discipline we can't do that and so um

yeah so you got to cross

all kinds of different people in

business not in business working wages

not wages you know that uh have a

specific interest against that but and i

think our hope you know in the midterms

is based a lot on so on the confusion

amongst the adversaries and that gives

an opportunity for liberals and

moderates and middle rows and the labor

room to try and find some common ground

on the other hand i would say that

liberal leadership which inevitably

means jeff bezos and bill gates and

michael bloomberg and um uh buffett

those guys who are you know contributing

a ton of money to the democrats and

trying to dominate his foreign policy as

well you're not they aren't going to

lead us out of a crisis of capitalism

and if the fascism that is arising here

is a right

yeah i don't know what the fuck you guys

are talking about in the chat

i do know but let me just be i'm just

completely honest with you what the fuck

does that have to do with me nothing

okay so just stop fucking whatever dumb

gossip bullshit like i don't fucking

care it has literally nothing to do with

infrared literally nothing okay

like i'm focusing on something important

that i care about

and you're talking about fucking

nonsense just fucking drop it

i don't fucking care it has nothing to

do with me i i it has nothing to do with

infrared

i don't care that's that's what i'm

telling you okay so fucking drop it

i don't even know what the fuck you're

really talking about

but whatever it is i don't care i really

don't

rising objectively because of the

inability of the capital system to uh

continue to grow with the levels of

inequality that are just accelerating um

then that's a different question you

know churchill won't lead this

anti-fascist struggle even though he may

have during wartime in england uh in

1945 so i think it's a complicated

question

thank you so much lauren appreciate you

man thank you

yeah in the context of how serious is

the crisis of capitalism that we are

confronting both externally globally and

you know in terms of obvious users

talking about um so i think by the way

the two-party system you're going to

have political dependence if the world

class takes over one of your parties and

what they do okay that is fucking

mindless that is the most stupid

mindless thing i've ever heard i'm sorry

not to insult this guy john i don't know

he is but that is just a mindless

fucking statement you're gonna you're

gonna have a third party by taking over

one of the two parties okay good luck

with that good luck taking over the

fucking democratic party i mean it will

never happen

what a silly fucking thing yeah the

ruling class is just gonna give up its

its most important party

for you i mean that what what a silly

thing to fucking say

like men leadership one of the two

parties i promise you is the ruling i

don't even think communist can take over

the american state i literally think the

state's going to collapse and then

you're going to have the opportunity to

do something interesting but i don't

even think you could take over the state

do you think you can take over the

fucking party

fuck no start a foreign fighter parties

immediately um because they're not going

to live just all in one party themselves

so i'm not gonna you know gonna do that

that's the reason why they get posted

because bill gates and the coat brothers

don't want to be in the same party um

even though you don't want to get rid of

their

i would say prerogatives things in

response number one the only way that

the working class is going to be able to

have any real impact is if we have

radical reform of the political system

as a whole and there's going to be a

struggle

i would imagine in the democratic party

and in the republican party so this is

mentionism this is menshevik stageism

this is joe this is what the mensheviks

say someone else telling this in the

comments too so this is what the

menshevik said they said we need to have

stages

at which point it will be possible to

organize a part of the working class

lenin said no we can't organize the

party of the working class if we ally

with the counter-hegemonic forces

you don't fucking wait for reforms

to build a working-class party that is

literally mentionism like

like like one-to-one that is exactly the

mention of a position

kinds of issues and the result and

that's gonna be a struggle is gonna take

place both inside and outside of of

those parties um and the result of it

will determine how those fissures will

take place and mark my word they will

take place the other thing i would say

john case is that um the only way that

the um uh leadership of the country can

be correctly um ushered in will be if it

the national interests coincide with the

working classes interests and we're able

to develop a situation in which

working-class leadership uh is becomes

uh a dominant statue um had a question

uh just so

if i remember correctly um developing

two different there's two different

terms that are usually just the popular

front of the people's front which

designates this uh coalition that

includes other class forces

like the entirety of the forces the

people's forces against fascism which

some of which are in the ruling class

the other the united front um designates

uh something different um a united front

of working-class uh organizations uh

parties uh unions things like that um

against uh the fastest threat um i'm not

sure if that distinction between united

front and popular front is still you

know one

no you i and you misspoke i think to be

of good faith but no

the united front was an alliance

of

the

party of the working class with the

other parts of the working class that

are outside of the party

like unions the popular front was

more or less across class alliance

but you have to understand

it wasn't with the ruling class what you

said is just wrong i don't know where

you got that

one that

that we need to insist on but i was

wondering if you

actually the view communists had was

that the ruling class at the top

was sympathetic to fascism and you

needed like these cesarean

figures like fdr who was a traitor to

his class according to them right

uh to get a popular mandate against them

fdr was not a creature of

the international ruling class he wasn't

from all the history i've read he wasn't

well done you're correct

with application to the situation in

europe there were two historical moments

one was the evolution of the united

front idea and that was a united working

class front it was a front of

working-class organizations on the basis

of working-class interests and needs and

issues

that was extended in the 1930s at the

seventh world congress it was broadened

to include a cross-class front um that

was organized that was mainly aimed at

the social democrats by the way

community between communists and the

social democrats um and and there were

three basic platforms that they put

forward they said number one and and and

you know why the popular front failed

everywhere except china

because they made the mistake of

thinking

that the social democrats

were a popular

front and they weren't

that's why even when the popular front

in france got to power they failed

[Music]

in spain

those same social democrats turned their

knives on the communists and open the

doors for franco

so what should they have done instead

they should have did what mao did

and ally with the traditional peasant

forces the traditional rural agrarian

forces

rather than the urban social democrats

one we have to agree to end war

we're opposed to war

number two we have to agree to fight

around bread and butter issues so number

one warn them to fight around bread and

butter issues okay i'm liking the

ranking i like that rank

angelo sims is doing okay then number

three we have to agree to shift the

burden from the backs of the working

class on to the backs of the bouquet in

other words you gotta tax the rich if we

can agree on those two things they said

to the social

no

lower taxes because they're a big burden

on the working class

taxes is not a solution to anything all

right if you want to increase the burden

on the ruling class

uh first of all you can start taxing

things that are not taxed like dividend

you can do um

derivative taxes

if you need to you can close the

loopholes which is a big thing

and then you can end government

subsidies

which already fucking exist

you can end the federal reserve and

things like that because there's already

ways our economy is rigged where our

government literally

fucking works with the monopoly ruling

class and the bourgeoisie giving them

free shit they have a socialism for the

rich i don't know if you know that

democrats we can work together we can

work together and uh today our party has

the view that we're in favor of a united

front in general um in the day-to-day

levels of working people but we don't

have a big social democratic movement in

this country the way that they did in

europe we don't have trade unions that

are dominated by social democrats and

other uh that are organized on the basis

of political parties like france scott

you got the greenest trade junior and

you got the social democratic trade

union you know and in italy you've got a

catholic trade union and a social

democratic trade junior you usually have

a communist trading i don't know that's

still the case that doesn't obtain here

so we have to apply these united tactics

to the situation in our country um and

uh not be uh confined to uh examples

that may have worked in europe uh makes

real work but do not have application to

the uh that obtains in our country at

this particular moment in time and

anyway the main points folks are going

to end with this is that uh the

situation is shifting in this country

there's not going to be i don't think a

republican wave um it's going to be a

pitched battle for control of the house

and the senate it is a pitch battle john

case and anita and scott against fascist

elements let's make no mistake about it

and that we need a broad front in the

course of doing so uh that for that fun

includes many different forces and that

through it all to the best of our

ability we have to fight for working

class and people's leadership uh of

these coalitions putting forward our

issues as forcibly as we can well uh

with that stay strong stay safe stay in

the fight and we'll see everybody next

week

all right well if you're the member of

the party or whatever leave respectful

comments suggestive constructive

criticism

because it's your party and you have a

right to do that

[Music]

all right guys uh we're wrapping it up

there

thank you so much

sorry who am i thinking again i don't

think anyone right

but uh guys i will see you i'm heading

out i'm already super late

um

i gotta head out guys i'll see you later

i kind of want to stick around and chill

thank you so much miriam i want to stick

around and chill

but i literally can't
