so
let me let me just move on guys in the
chat i'm going
[Music]
do you not have like earbuds or
headphones or something to eliminate the
echo
capture i know what the fuck he's saying
window capture
[Music]
[Music]
all right show your face you can see it
on my stream i only have one webcam
discord doesn't like use your same
webcam twice
i only use it on my stream or on discord
i don't have a choice
okay one second
xander so what's all this stuff you
calling me a nazi huh
no i'm saying that your rhetoric is very
similar to that of a nazi
the idea that any information that goes
against your worldview is
uh cia propaganda very much you
literally said to me in my discord or in
my uh no
no no no what i said what i said is that
it's fabricated by the cia
and by the nazis i didn't say that this
a priori means
that that's the reason it's wrong it's
just like
nazis no it's just like when nazis say
that any information
that um verifies the existence of the
holocaust is is uh
jewish propaganda it's the same fucking
thing i could link you article after
studying
through an article every single fucking
listen listen listen listen i'm not
gonna dismiss your sources
as uh as uh cia and nazi right off the
bat i'm gonna go through
with you so why are you making
assumptions i'm not here to argue about
you with
or argue with you about every fucking
source i'm drunk as fuck i'm having a
media shirt stream
i want to know where you get the idea
that there was a genocide
intentional genocide against ukrainians
sure i'll explain my reasoning so it
seems like
so it seems like i assume you know this
because you're a big old fan of the us
of you know russian usr uh hundred
percent fall in this game 100
stalinist okay cool so
do you agree with me on the idea that
there was a combination
of uh maybe mismanaged resources
as well as uh natural disasters that
caused there to be a famine
during the time of the ussr yeah there
was a fucking famine there's no dispute
about
that yes there was a drought there was
tons of natural disasters that
contributed to a phantom there was also
the fact
that it was also it was no no it was the
it was it was the collectivization that
led to famine no one denies that and
there was a drought
there's a lot of factors but yes it was
also the collectivization it was an
agricultural revolution
that distributed a fundamental means of
uh relation to production
and just like all modern revolutions in
the history of mankind
including the european kinds that led to
disasters and
famines and all sorts of horrible things
those that were just stretched out in
the span of
centuries and that led to what we call
industrial modernity especially in
england
and in the soviet union that was
condensed into a pro and a
time span of maybe half a decade okay
i'm not denying there was a fucking
catastrophe
i'm not denying maybe even millions of
people starved and died and it was a
horrible thing
what i add what i do take issue with
though is the idea
that the soviet government was
deliberately targeting ukrainians for
ethnic genocide
and that therefore it's comparable to
the holocaust that's my fucking issue
i never said it's comparable to the
holocaust also let me just go ahead and
translate we just said
to something that makes sense the
average audience essentially what
happened was
there's something called the um building
up of economic
uh sorry i'm drunk as fuck right now but
i i i'm having a good time don't worry
you're a very very fun person to talk to
um it was called building up
reproductive forces essentially what
happened was
um back then there was this big issue
where
uh uh what was to be russia was very
underdeveloped in regards to industry
right most of the people
that um were workers during this time
worked on farms
and participate in agriculture the
problem was in order to develop this
country
that or this new nation they needed to
have factories they need to have factory
workers they need to produce
um products through industrialization
the problem is
allocation of workers they started
allocating workers to work in factories
and took workers away from participating
in agriculture which was the first step
that resulted in this famine
um certain natural disasters also
contributed to this which resulted in a
huge famine to happen
now i'm not saying that what happened
with the holdem or was anywhere close to
the fucking
uh uh to the fucking holocaust my
argument is simply that there does seem
to be a little bit of evidence
behind the fact that stalin probably had
a ideologically driven
um belief that there was a worth in
in reserving resources that could keep
them alive from the ukrainians
that is what i believe that is my
opinion on the holdemur wait wait wait
there was
repeat that again it was worth stealing
resources from what
no during the holdemer when there was
this big fucking famine happening
the um government was rationing
resources they took racist they took
food and things like that away from the
uh
people obviously during a famine and
they redistributed them
to try to keep the few resources that
there were left and redistribute them to
the people
trying to keep as many people alive as
possible however there is evidence that
suggests
that stalin had a ideological drive
in keeping those resources that he was
distributing to everyone else away from
the ukrainians
why what evidence do you have for that
sure let me go over it i can bring up an
article for you if you're not gonna call
it uh hopefully you don't call it cia
propaganda well we're gonna go
we're gonna go over it and we're gonna
see its primary sources and we're gonna
see
whether it holds up are you going to
call them cia propaganda
no no we're just going to see whether it
holds up and then we can conclude
whether it's
propaganda or not on that basis is his
is
history.com like from the history
channel website is that
you're like cia listen listen i'm a guy
who i don't actually care
where the source comes from i'm just
interested in the primary sources that
it's going to refer to
unless you're going to give me a primary
source of some kind which is extremely
rare
all of these sources are secondary
sources i actually don't care if you get
it from
a random google document or the
history.com i'm interested in where it's
getting its primary sources from that's
that's very interesting because in the
message that you sent me you said that i
was repeating
cia slash nazis lies about the soviets
that's my conviction
that's my conviction that's my belief
but
in order to have an argument or a debate
about this
i can't just say it's cia propaganda
and nazi lies we're actually going to
demonstrate why this is a logical
conclusion to draw
based on the fact that the people
accusing stalin
of hating ukrainians and wanting
ukrainians to
starve and and this deliberate genocide
we're
going to demonstrate that this is a
hollow baseless claim
and then we're going to also refer to
the origins of the myth and why this
myth has become so widespread in spite
of the fact
that from a factual empirical
perspective
sustains it sure all right
so here's the uh the page this is the
first thing that comes up when you look
up
uh stalin opinion on ukrainians all
right
so you go to the history website decrees
targeting
or targeted ukrainian saboteurs okay
it's working you can hear me right
yeah i'm fixing my discord which froze
one sec
okay let's let's hear it alrighty
meanwhile sullen according to applebomb
uh already had arrested tens of
thousands of ukrainian teachers and
intellectuals and removed ukrainian
language books from schools and
libraries
she writes that soviet leaders use the
grain shortfall as an excuse for even
more intense anti-ukrainian repression
as norris notes the 1932 decree targeted
ukrainian saboteurs
in quotes ordered local officials to
stop using the ukrainian language in
their correspondence and crack down on
ukrainian
cultural policies that had been
developed in night in the 1920s
there was a very clear ideological uh uh
sort of um what's the word for it uh
antagonism
towards the ukrainians their language
their culture their intellectuals they
viewed them as being uh sort of like
saboteurs against the communist
uh okay for context for context
during what is called the stalin
revolution there was a universal
animosity
toward all of the other soviet republics
and they were calling it the type of
bourgeois nationalism that was
cultivated in the 20s
and the stalin revolution which was this
agricultural revolution that was
happening in 2002 and 23
i started 32 and 33 was generally
hostile
against all of the um all of the
nationalities of the soviet union
uh and the specific because you have to
understand that in the 20s
this revival of uh of uh
the cultures of the republics of the
soviet that constituted the soviet union
was within a certain institutional frame
and these institut this institution was
being
challenged by the stalin revolution so
there was an association of these people
with the old legacy of the 20s
and uh yeah so that's the background of
that i'm not i haven't found anything
from that source that indicates
there's a specific uh unique targeting
of ukrainians uh divorced from this
context i just described to you
sure let's continue reading then um but
the songs crop collectors went out into
the
by the way i want to clarify when
there's a fucking uh uh
like natural disasters happening we have
a famine going on i think it's
reasonable for the um
the government of the time to take
measures to try to make sure that
resources
are properly allocated to help as many
people as possible but it seems like
there was a particular effort taken
to try to withhold these resources from
the ukrainians
like every bit of evidence that i have
seen has suggested
that there was a deliberate effort to
prevent uh
survive let's go through the evidence
sure let's read over this then
when sullens crop collectors went out
into the countryside according to 1988
u.s congressional commission report
they used long wooden poles of metal
points to poke into the dirt floors of
peasants homes and probe the ground
around them
in case they buried sores of grain to
avoid detection that's
fine obviously if you're trying to
collect materials and try to reproduce
them or try to
redistribute them peasants accused of
being food hoarders typically
were sent to prison though sometimes the
collectors didn't wait to inflict
punishment
two boys were caught hiding fish and
frogs they'd caught
for example they were taken to the
village soviet where they were beaten
and then dragged into the field with
their hands tied and mouths and noses
were gagged
where they were left to suffocate as the
famine worsened
many tried to flee in search of places
with more food some died by the roadside
while others were thwarted by the secret
police and the regime system
yeah why not do you feel like you want
to defend any of this
i'm not denying there was a famine and a
lot of people were starving and
i'm curious if you want to i'm curious
if you want to defend the um
the behaviors taken here i'm curious
what behavior specifically
the behaviors of taking two children
that have found some like fish and frogs
uh pulling them out into the street and
then suffocating death in the uh
it's probably the case and i can't
confirm or deny that specific thing i
i'm not no position to deny it because
i'm not familiar with it
but right off the bat i can assume that
there were abuses that were conducted
by local officials and even stalin was
aware that those
abuses happened and were happening and
it's simply a disconnect between the
central party and the actual people on
the ground who are enforcing
it's a tragic horrible type of thing and
it happened in all the communist states
there were local abuses that happened
but to say that this represents
some direct intentional will on on
behalf of stalin or the central party
is ridiculous it is listen even mao
himself in china for example
acknowledged the fact that local
caterers and stuff
they did engage in abuses and stuff
against the people but
how could mao for example embolden and
strengthen the people
uh and fight against those officials
while at the same time
upholding the communist order and
defending the communist state from its
enemies
well that's a dialectic that actually
developed and played out
through the course of the history of the
soviet union and we're not talking about
china but also china as well you
you shared part of our video where we
kind of touch up and and talk about that
it was specifically about china but a
similar dialectic was happening in the
soviet union
and stalin actually did represent uh
did represent the peasants uh as it
would come to show
during the great purges and later after
world war ii against these type of
law officials and bureaucrats who
represented
a more urbanized city and
intellectualistic marxists and
socialists who had profound disdain
for the majority of the people so i'm
not denying
of course when you're engaging in
something like collectivization
the people who are carrying out this
collectivization
probably do have some kind of animosity
uh toward the peasant majority as a
whole
but then the tables were turned against
them for example during the great purges
and the peasants were empowered
it's a horrible tragedy but this is the
tragedy of modernity
in general you're naming all these
crimes and these horrible things
happening on the ground during an
agricultural revolution
which was necessary for
industrialization but this is the story
for literally every
all modern industrial powers that did so
independently
england the dutch you know about the
whole fucking ugly story no
i would i would argue that in every
sense that these
uh uh these countries did not handle
um uh industrialization nearly even
close to as badly as the ussr did okay
okay there are plenty of ways you can
handle industrialization
over allocating all of your resources
to fucking uh uh industrialization jobs
causing a fucking famine to happen don't
get me wrong
there were natural disasters that
happened that contributed
you just assume that the countries i
described the modern countries of uh
let's say the
from the 16th century onwards were
socialist countries who were
intentionally
modernizing their productive forces and
industrializing their countries
that's not how industrialization
happened in any of the countries
i'm saying though that the background of
this what we call
modernity and industrial modernity was
horrific
horrible shit that was definitely
comparable uh
to these uh these uh horrible things
that happened
during the communist collectivizations
of china in the soviet union they were
condensing the modern apocalypse within
a span of maybe half a decade
whereas centuries of butchery and horror
and uh divorcing of peasants for their
from their original means of production
both within europe and outside of europe
you're just
you're just all of these things made
industrial modernity
possible and yet when the soviet union
and china attempted to industrialize
independently
of the west they were confronting
similar contradictions
and similar issues that they were they
were confronting this issue of
we need to engage industrialize to
defend ourselves
but this requires a separation of the
people from their means of production of
some kind which is a very ugly and
violent process and yes
leads to wide scale famine in both cases
because
when you're separating the traditional
way in which people cultivate food and
feed themselves
and you're emptying that into a type of
rationalistic planning
there's going to be something lost in
translation if you get what i'm saying
in that translation in that process
it's a very sensitive thing you're
dealing with you're dealing with how
people feed themselves
so this revolution in the agricultural
relations and the forces of production
uh tragically yes led to famine but to
say that this is some kind of crime on
their part
uh is the epitome of hypocrisy from my
perspective
do you mind if i save you really quick
good
yeah sure so it seems like what you're
doing right now is whether you realize
it or not is you're defending capitalism
the way that capitalism and many of
these uh other western countries that
didn't participate in the uh
you know the communist uh status
bullshit
um it's it's actually providing a
defense whether you realize it or not
towards these countries because they
didn't have these same issues nearly two
even because they agree they didn't have
the the not even
close to the degree the ussr did so what
you're saying is you're having
you're unfortunately
let me save you from the argument you're
making right now okay i want to save you
right now
i'm just trying to save you okay because
you're making yourself sound really
stupid i want to help you
i feel bad for you and i want to help
you dude i'm trying to help you right
now
i'm really trying to help you right now
you sound like a fucking idiot
you're making yourself look so fucking
bad you're making yourself look so bad
for something
socialism come on let me help you dude
i'm just trying to help you fuck i just
you're hanging on the edge of the cliff
and i'm trying to reach out to help you
okay
are you listening are you done you know
i'm gonna demolish you
you know i'm gonna fucking demolish you
and that's why you try to silence me
no your fucking point is wrong if you
ignore that this was stretched out over
a period of centuries
and yes horrific catastrophes famines
and all that kind of shit
was fucking happening in europe but even
if we discount what fucking happened in
europe
ever heard of something called
colonialism you dumb fuck
and you thought that was a gotcha point
demolished
demolished done destroyed with facts and
logic
destroyed with facts and logic fucking
ranting this is actually very funny no
go live again for your viewers you just
you just went offline because you know
i'm going to beat you go back on live so
your viewers can see me beat you
i'm still alive right now is my street
is my stream down
yes it's down on twitch
is it on twitch it's still up on youtube
i think
i don't know my twitch my fucking stream
dies all the time
all right hold on keep keep ranting
please i'm really enjoying this
you said i made you're i'm making the
case for capitalist countries
which by the way your bread tube school
of dumbass
shit didn't teach you the fact that a
self-enclosed system like capitalism
didn't fucking exist in this period this
was a process of transformation
which is only vaguely the rise of
capitalism through feudalism so we're
not talking you know your notion of
capitalism is itself very socialistic
the idea of having some kind of system
which competes with another system
that's already presupposing some type of
political relationship to the economy
that you could say is socialistic you're
treating the economy as something that
serves political and social lands and
the general welfare and the well-being
of the people
that's a socialistic type of logic so
let's drop this stupid argument
but second it is really stupid to say
that i'm making the case
for the western european uh modernity
um because of this same horrors were
happening
even if we discount the things in europe
it was still happening with colonialism
which was a fucking disaster in
catastrophe
go ahead yeah my my i think my fucking
stream died it's back up sorry i was
talking to my girlfriend
um no i want to help you out okay i want
to save you okay you
don't need to argue in favor of these
like fucking
authoritarian communist regimes okay you
don't need to do that
okay first of all first of all let's
walk that back i want to walk that back
you you need to you don't need to go so
far to argue against historical
consensus
to argue against no no let's walk a few
things back that's a few things
you're mentioning a few things of the
main concepts and and
ideas behind communism and you don't
know anything about those is my problem
let's walk it back though let's walk it
back
you said the authoritarian communist
states listen to me xander hall
you and bread tube wouldn't know shit
wouldn't even be mentioning marx
you wouldn't be mentioning socialism you
wouldn't be mentioning communism
all these would be meaningless fucking
words if it were not
for the eastern people the authoritarian
asiatic despots you're kind of
hinting at they're the ones who carried
it on their fucking
shoulders and made it fucking relevant
the only reason americans go around
calling themselves communists
is because of the power created by
countries like the soviet union
in china you're basically trying to
steal that clout for them and impress
people with that power
that you didn't earn it was their power
not yours there was no libertarian
communist power
there's no libertarian communist
anything it's all fucking meaningless
trying to use the soviet union's clout
and use its reputation of which
americans are familiar with and you're
trying to say oh i'm a communist but
actually you don't know what communism
really means it means a stateless
moneyless society why don't you own up
to the meaning of this capital c
word communists just fucking say you
appreciate what do you think of
communism
what do you think communism is communism
for marx
was the real movement that sublates the
present state of things a lot of people
think it's abolish it's not it's a
mislead translation it's sublates
marx didn't talk about abolishing
capitalism it's such a silly and stupid
thing to say
but anyway if communism is something
real and objective and material
then we have to refer to communism based
on
the people who actually gave meaning to
the fucking word which are the
ones you're calling the authoritarian
states the only reason we're talking
about communism is because of the
experience
corresponding to those states there's
nothing else there's nothing else
those anarchists in spain were just
shitting up the fucking spanish popular
front who were actually the real ones
there
same thing goes for all the other
anarchists true communists you want to
refer to let me give you the background
of bread tube and libertarian socialism
during the 60s a lot of these wet diaper
uh
youth generation were trying to rebel
against the established
soviet communist parties so they revived
anarchism which is a dead and done
completely irrelevant stupid i think
libertarianism
just as a way of expressing dissent
because of their disappointment
their western chauvinistic
disappointment
against the soviet union and against
these
in other sense the against the
experience of china and other
authoritarian communist countries
they were literally just trying to rebel
against them they were trying to say
well we don't like capitalism and we
don't like the current state of affairs
but you know those the real existing
examples of socialism and communism
we don't really like those so we're
going to it all came from the 60s it's
all bullshit created by the cia probably
in the fucking deep state as for this
stuff about i gotta defend
the communist states dude of course
we're against the fucking establishment
and the establishment narrative
no we're not the we're not the type of
people who uh who agree with the blue
check
uh establishment narrative yes we are
with those um
anti-establishment forces and all that
kind of stuff yes we are
and dude by the way i'm a lysenkowist by
the way you didn't even know about that
either
huh fuck that i have no idea what the
fuck like sentiment
science is also both mainstream science
is also pretty much bullshit
wait hold on how deep is the deep state
you mentioned the deep state earlier how
deep is it
yeah what do you mean how deep is it
it seems like it's pretty tell me about
the keepsake now i want to learn about
people
research a guy named kantbot and ed
berger and they're fucking doing
research
showing mapping it on the fucking
surface it's all on the fucking surface
look it up eberg on twitter and combat
can you be ultra zero subscribe to their
thing and
uh you know they're on a uh patreon or
some kind of thing you can listen to
their fucking
podcast and they're dropping deep red
pills about that shit they're mapping it
all it's on the fucking surface dude
it's not some kind of crazy conspiracy
they actually showed me
wrapping it on the surface holy shit i'm
going to be completely honest
i'm so glad foundation so fucking glad
hold on wait wait please link me your
twitch i need to sub to you because it's
the most enjoyable fucking time i've
ever had you are so
fucking entertaining tv infrared show
or show infrared i forget which one
thank you i i'm i'm going to
sub to you because holy shit this is the
most shit i've ever heard in my life
please keep going yes please keep going
please keep going i want to hear more
this is the most entertaining thing i've
ever heard in my life what do you want
to hear hear any anything you want what
do you want to hear
uh tell me about the deep state tell me
about uh lysenko-ism
tell me more you want me which one the
deep state or less synchronism which one
tell me about the the red pill tell me
more just everything just keep going
okay just let your heart guide you i
don't know what you're interested in
hearing
i mentioned a few just let your heart
guide you i want to hear more
because you lost the debate is that why
you're trying yes i lost debate no
please keep telling me more i'm
being educated right now educate me yeah
i want to hear more
you can call me a crazy person no i just
want to hear more
i just want to hear more based on what
no more let your heart guide you let
your heart guide you
tell what do you want to talk about
okay let's talk about the fact let's
talk about the fact
that bread tube are a bunch of fake
socialists bred too much of fake
socialist
and the fraud squad who voted for nancy
pelosi why
explain that to me why don't we talk
about why they voted for nancy pelosi
again even though they didn't fucking
have to
because every other possibility that's
why you've got to move
them to defeat the ashes of buying
fucking one dude why did they vote for
nancy blows you go
sure because it's probably the most
plausible uh pragmatic option to make
why is that probably because no other
candidate that was more progressive
could probably make it and the only
other ones that were only speak of
pragmatism
with a predefined set of conditions of
possibility
whereas if you're actually a true
socialist like all these people
true progressive you redefine the
conditions of possibility
of course everything's fucking pragmatic
when you're on your fucking knees for
what's already
the status quo and the establishment the
whole point is to build a new people's
power the whole point is to challenge
the fucking establishment why did they
vote for nancy pelosi go ahead explain
it
do you believe what did you vote i'm
curious did you vote in the uh
i don't vote see don't vote okay i will
only vote as my duty as part of an
independent organization
i'm not part of an organization right
now that's the only reason i would ever
fucking vote
voting as an individual individualistic
cookery
is for libs i'm not a fucking lib cock i
don't go and vow why the fuck would i
get off my fucking bed
and drive to the fucking pose and vote
as an individual we're a stupid fucking
thing
sorry go ahead i'm i'm actually curious
if you're trolling right now
i'm not trolling so you don't care about
i'm high energy
i'm a high energy i'm not you're
you know what i'm saying we're reviving
communism down with the socialist cucks
you know what i'm saying we're going
viral infrared visualizing
hold on i'm really curious wait i need i
need you to stand up and show me your
chest because you're so high energy i
think you have a fucking iron man arc
reactor in your chest right now that's
how how high energy you are right now
i want to see your chest show me your
chest
look at my chest it's so big oh yeah
yeah yeah exactly so so so what is it
about go ahead go
tell your point about why they had to
fucking do uh force the vote
wait why they had to do force the vote
uh why did they fucking vote for nancy
pelosi and why did you guys slander
jimmy dore
and she try to shit on jimmy jor why
because jimmy dore is trying to keep the
flame alive
for a new people's power and new
progressive politics independently of
the fucking democratic establishment
you tell me why you've read two people
who are supposed to be socialist
supposed to be offering some kind of
fucking alternative tried to
do a hit piece on jimmy dore accused of
being a fascist and you were
chilling for fucking nancy pelosi and
the squad's betrayal of the people you
explain that to me and you keep laughing
infrared's going viral
you're gonna be yesterday's news pretty
soon keep laughing
is nancy pelosi part of the squad she's
part of the establishment and the squad
capitulated to her by fucking voting for
her even after trump was fucking
defeated
what was the reasoning for that explain
it to me probably trying to keep the
most progressive party that's uh
viable in america in power to try to
keep the fascistic uh
republicans out by the way by the way by
the way it's a fucking race to the
bottom if you keep only siding with the
most progressive
guess what dude let's say we live in a
nazi party one way
wait hold on are you an accelerationist
i'm curious are you in acceleration do
you think if like we let fascists take
power
what do you mean by acceleration do you
think that if we let the fascists take
power and p
you know i don't know i think you guys
are fear-mongering making shit up
trump isn't a fucking fascist show me
the fascists there's white supremacists
there are neo-nazis as far as i'm
concerned among trump supporters they're
a fucking minority and i know they're a
fucking minority i know trump supporters
i fucking know trump supporters dude i
live in fucking michigan
i know these fucking people personally
they're not fucking neo-nazis
they're not so where's the fucking
fascism you're talking about
specifically and you're gonna point to
me to charlottesville i know because all
these fucking
guys from uh 4chan congregated together
um together and met up together and it
was a big spectacle
big distraction but only people who
who thrive from this fascism mongering
are the fucking elites because they want
to scare this shit out of fucking
progressives
to fucking tow the fucking democrat
party line at the expense of building an
independent
people's progressive politics make
excuses for that exactly
are you unironically defending the
fucking guy
trump donald j trumperson who argued
that
biden was a communist and has been
eliciting anti-communist uh
rhetoric through his fan base for the
last fucking game and objectively
he's a clown in the world and the people
are laughing at him in the world and he
corresponds to the decline of
american hegemony you think the people
of the world give a shit about trump
the people of the world give a shit
maybe more a little about biden because
now biden wants to go to war with russia
he wants to spill more blood and trump
was doing the best as he could to stay
out of that
war with russia since you're such a
pragmatic utilitarian or whatever
you tell me trump was it trump had
bolton all these fucking hawks he had to
appease
because of the republican establishment
he was in bed with him he had to be
okay trump himself didn't really want to
get into these interventions
so since you're such a pragmatic
utilitarian who would have led to the
spilling of less blood
for the people that maybe are a little
bit uh too subhuman for you you're a
you're an esteemed bread tube uh true
socialist and all the other
authoritarian com they're all those type
of people it's oriental despots they
don't fucking matter you're pragmatic
uh whatever the fuck you said so you
explained to me why it's better for a
warmongering hawk
to be in power maybe he'll make maybe
biden will make you feel better dude
he'll give you a little shout out i love
biden i love he's gonna shout me out on
on cnn biden's gonna go on cnn he's
gonna shout me out it's gonna be awesome
oh i'm actually curious define socialism
for me
can you can you define socialism and
communism for me just like independently
like to find socialism then define
communism do it for me okay
it depends on the fucking context there
is no pre-emptive
written in stone tablet me you have to
look at the meaning of socialism
based on how it has been used
historically and how it was used in the
19th century was
after industrial modernity the peasants
who were used to having a specific
fixed social bonds in the countryside
were
kicked off their fucking land thrown on
the street in these cities and there was
a substantial loss
of a sense of common sociality so the
word socialism intervened
uh to describe this need to return to
some kind of common social reality
just like on now the factory workers
their jobs are shipped overseas
and now there's also this similar type
of lawsuit oh shit you're a
protectionist
nice uh on no i didn't say anything
about that i guess you literally argued
against
the idea of the ships
how my protection is explain i gotta go
pee hold on can you ransom my stream for

completely right
when i imagine i'm still stuck in that
one point two point five
example okay for example still stuck in
the 2010s they're completely correct
for example breadtube's aesthetics are
what vaporwave bullshit dude that's so
2010s

from the internet but guess what
it's what ones you're gonna pull off
it's the consistency let me tell you
something this is just an example it's
just our aesthetic style
in every regard bread tube is outdated
marxism leninism is the future
socialism with chinese characteristics
is the model of the future
and has surpassed anglo-saxon liberal
capitalism liberal bread tube
libertarian socialism
is the fucking past wait is liberalism
and military
listen caleb maupin's a nice
uh normal guy and he doesn't degrade
himself like how i'm doing but i'm a

energy and i don't take myself that
fucking seriously
i just don't okay but i'm not a smug

fucking people i'm somebody who can make
fun of themselves and i don't give a

okay this needs to keep on going i never
want to end this this is so fucking fun
give me more alcohol i'm actually really
curious you just said you have no idea
who i am you just heard about me tonight
but you keep calling me a smug irony guy
how do you know that
i know about it i know because how
you're interacting now
how you're interacting now is is giving
me this impression
you don't speak to me in a plain spoken
way and uh you want to entertain your
chat
i want to entertain your chat i'ma steal
a lot of your viewers
if not tonight then eventually and a lot
of bret tube
this is what's gonna happen bro i'm more
entertaining people will like me more
trust me people like me more
i see you have 535 subs or something
like that we just started out
how long you been in the game how long
you been in the game i've been in the
game for like a year
okay we just started going hard pushing
our shit
a few months ago before this it was kind
of a laid back little kind of thing
we started pushing our shit and actually
going hard a few months ago
do you think we're rising fast dude this
is like my third twitch stream
we're rising fast do you think that the
um
i'm actually really curious do you think
that like the authoritarian leftist
stuff is
very popular like as far as leftists
what's your psychology
this is your artificial political
species
this is your artificial political
spectrum i'm saying the future is big
capital c
communism and yes looking towards
socialism or chinese characteristics to
learn from
for america is the future this lib ship
libertarianism
weak soyboy leftism is the past
okay people don't appreciate weakness
and all i see in the left is weakness i
just see celibacy i agree
i agree i think you guys are the
weakness why do you cook yourself
for biden and for nancy pelosi and you
sit on jimmy dore
because i think jimmy dore is a dumb
fuck grifter and i think that uh having
a fascist in power who is
outspokenly anti-communist is probably
not the best for socialism
listen you're focusing on surface and
you're focusing on labels
okay trump is talking about communism
because
he knows how to manipulate his fucking
uh
because it's a scary word in america
it's 4d chest it's
it's 4d chess you're completely correct
yeah but guess what
but look what biden's doing biden is
allying himself with the new wave of
rabid anti-communism in eastern europe
and the ukraine
against russia so who's more dangerous i
think biden's more dangerous in the
grand scheme of things for communism's
image if that's what you're getting at
biden's way worse dude is because
outside of america where the legacy of
communism
matters way more biden is doing way more
harm
i see i don't think the optics of the
word communism
should define your political positions i
find that really bizarre and strange
interesting so do you do you prefer
trump to biden
honest to god i would never vote for the
guy but i'm just going to be an honest
guy with you
honestly i would i i it was nicer to
have trump as president than biting
right now but i don't really care at the
end of the day it's not like i'm
shedding tears over it but honest to god
i was never soiling my pants
and fear-mongering about fascism about
trump like how
and he's the most dangerous person
listen it's the biggest con of the
fucking century
what the democrats did to the
progressive wing conning them into
cucking them into
fear-mongering over fucking trump and
where his what has it gotten them to huh
where is it got them to listen it looks
like this is all abstractions it's all
fascism and stuff
but people on the fucking ground are
still suffering look what's fucking
going on in texas
what did that fear mongering over
fascism actually fucking do
biden didn't stop trump's fucking
programs with immigrants
and those kids still are in fucking
cages all that shit is still there
what is where is the fascism decisively
and practically where is the fascism
under trump which thing's undefined
do you i'm actually really curious who's
running uh texas right now
and and who was running texas when uh
the uh
uh the power grid was uh sorted out the
way that it was to be completely
i'm telling you i'm telling you no no
i'm asking you right now who was in
charge
of texas it's republicans but you wanna
know are you really gonna tell me if uh
beto was in power it'd be different
it wouldn't fucking be different dude
stop deluding yourself do the same thing
party they're true wings of the same
fucking party dude
stop deluding yourself two wings of the
same fucking party
i like how you uh you admitted they were
republicans but you had to move on real
quick from that one
no i didn't dude because you really
expect it would be different under
democrats it wouldn't and biden's
president by the way
biden's actually fucking president i'm
really curious
can you name anything that that uh biden
has done uh and any executive orders
these signed since he became president
can you even sing one
not off the top of my head no i didn't
prepare for this debate so i can't
you don't know you all you care about is
the optics of these entire
of these comp of these ideologies you
don't know a single thing
yeah one of the first things that biden
did one of the first things biden did as
soon as he
got into office was roll back tons of
the shit that trump did in regards to
lgbt rights here in america
the first one was the transgender
military ban that was the first one
he did oh wow oh really
do you think wait do you think trump i'm
curious i'm curious
i'm curious do you think trans people
should be banned from having a certain
job because they're trans i'm really
curious
listen what's your opinion on truth as a
communist
as a communist it's not i hate the
military too motherfucker
i hate imperialism and i hate them i
hate it too
i'm asking you right now what are your
thoughts about reality
what are your thoughts on trans people
how do you feel about trans people being
banned by the president from
participating in a particular job based
on the fact that they're trans how do
you feel about it
don't give a fuck who's banned from the
military the military spills blood
overseas do you think that every ass
do you think that every part of the
military it's like am i sad
am i sad that trump won what jobs
what jobs does the military entail what
jobs is the us military impale uh what
what jobs does the us military entail
do you're engaging in abstractions
engagement is an abstraction i'm asking
you a question
what jobs does the military entail
okay okay listen some jobs in the
military aren't directly shooting people
but it's a fucking machine dude that's
why it's
exactly however military in history
do not have the power to obs to get rid
of the military we do not have that
power in the country right okay
but i do not believe i do not believe
that there is any utility gained
from you don't have the power
cultivating a culture
trans people are not allowed
oh what job should they have what the
fuck
[Laughter]
[Music]
won't have to kill for them for free
even it's not your military
sorry could you repeat that you lost the
debate
you lost you lost
this is my competition you lost dude you
fucking lost
you fucking lost i know i lost can you
do a victory lap i'm eating 10 days i
want to hear more can you do a victory
lap please you lost
objectively you lost yes can you do a
victory lap do a vic
keep talking do a victory lap i have
like one two three four five five more
10 days to eat can you do a victory lap
i'm gonna do a victory lap when we
surpass you in followers subs and views
that's what i'm gonna do
i'm looking forward to it okay can you
can you keep going
no you just lost this debate you lost
the debate
you said do you think that trans people
should be buried for having certain jobs
a completely abstract
completely irrelevant point to the you
your
signing example of biden's executive
order was some completely meaningless
non-substantive bullshit
that had nothing to fucking do with
anything it completely went against your
point
take the ld do you think the most people
do you think trans people or
any like minority group should be um
barred from participating in a
particular job
what do you think about that's right
abstraction or do you just think
actually
you know it's completely related to what
i'm talking about you're really really
mad i understand
very much
made it so that trans people would serve
in the military again no i don't
think if you fucking read two people you
take an abstract point well abstractly
this is my position
so if that means on behalf of my
abstract commissioner it's a fuck
mentality you're not in fucking power it
doesn't actually fucking matter what
biden does
and you're not empowered to fucking
begin with you're more of a position not
what you should and shouldn't be
even being realized at the level of
power you have no connection to
in the fucking first place
do you think a particular group should
be barred from having a certain job in
our society
like a broken record and fail to address
my actual point
i'm just going to repeat my point two
can play at this fucking game repeat it
go ahead
ask me do you think trans people should
be borrowed from having a particular job
had nothing to fucking do with the
actual point at hand i just
fucking addressed that point you're
coming at it from the wrong fucking
perspective
it's a stupid thing to say what you're
saying i literally asked if you could
name it
executive order that biden issued in his
first um
like few weeks of office and
i gave up an example and you said that
you don't care i'm asking you right
i think you think society is what i said
let's roll it back roll it back
you know what went through people you
know what actually fucking happened
and you said the reason that we had to
stop i said where's the stopping
fashions and won't change they said well
biden issued some executive orders i
said
what executive orders have substantially
changed everything
so profoundly that if we defeated the
menace of fascism and you said biden
lifted a transgender military ban
there's two stupid fucking things about
that first of all you're an apologist
for american imperialism
and the blood being spilled for millions
and millions of for hundreds and
thousands of fucking people in the
middle east
that's the first stupid fucking point
that i already went through but even the
second stupid point is
maybe it's bad that trump's fucking
transphobic but to say that this is
evidence that he's a fascist is a
fucking stretch
if you're exterminating people for their
sexual orientation
the gravity of the threat is the fucking
problem so we have to sacrifice people's
power and our real progressive movements
just because trump banned transgender
people from joining the fucking military
is that the altar upon which we have to
sacrifice cultivating an actual
independent people's power
and independent progressive politics
from the fucking democrats
that's the altar of sacrifice the
transgender burial military ban name
something else dude because everyone
always talked about the kids in cages
and everyone always talks about trump's
scary and horrible fashion some you're
just getting little tidbits that aren't
substantive what so fucking ever
none of what you mentioned is
justifiable for sacrificing the fucking
progressive movement in independent
politics
what so fucking ever um
i've got a lot of questions i want to
ask you i think the most impressive
i think the most impressive i think
the point lost you lost the fucking
debate the buzzer sounded you lost
you were rating the point you want to
ask more questions go ahead please ask
more
i think the most relevant to what you
just said at the end of your uh little
rant there
is probably i want to ask you how do you
think that socialists can take power in
america
do you think that uh how do we overthrow
the democratic party and uh put in place
a more progressive party than the
democrats i'm very curious
the first thing you do the first thing
you do
is you you you tap into the populistic
anti-establishment momentum that trump
was co-opting
you do it wrong you name the enemies of
the people you separate yourselves from
the establishment and when you
distinguish
yourself from the fucking establishment
when inevitably the american people
are discontented with their
establishment you're going to give
expression to their anger
you're going to represent that anger
you're going to represent their will
and their feeling and the and the
objective contradiction between them and
the establishment
and that's how you fucking win people
trump won people by doing that
leftists and socialists and all these
fucking people calling themselves
whatever the fuck
they need to do the same goddamn fucking
thing the first thing you need to do
the most primordial simple fucking thing
you have to do is don't
sound and talk like the fucking
establishment that's the easiest one
just stop sounding like them dude all
you read to people
all you fucking leftists and
progressives when i hear you fucking
talk
you sound like a same mainstream msm
type of fucking establishment bullshit
that i always fucking hear every day
in a common sense intuitive way you know
what it sounds like when you guys talk
doesn't matter how much you qualify your
position with axiomatic and all this
stupid bullshit
at the end of the fucking day you sound
like the people in fucking power
you sound like the people in power you
sound like the nerds who rule over the
american people
the bill gates is the jeff bezos these
fucking cocks
who rule the american people you sound
like them you sound like mark zuckerberg
you sound like them
stop sounding like them is a fucking
good start start sounding like me
maybe and you'll get somewhere i don't
know i feel like i'd be a lot less
popular if i started sounding like you
you sound really hinges as fuck you're
entertaining don't get me wrong you're
entertaining
but you sound as unhinged as fuck
just wait just wait wait and see how
viral i become
just wait i'm i'm looking forward to it
dude i'm really
i really hope that you actually end up
making it infrared will change the game
i hope that's pretty cool i hope you go
live i
really hope that you go like full
fucking huge and you start making tons
of money
and you end up like having a really high
production value and i can just sit down
every night and watch you rant
because holy fuck has been entertaining
you've unironically tried to argue
uh in favor of the idea of borrowing a
particular minority group from
participation
you fucking liar you little chicken shit
slanderer putting
trying to fucking cancel me put words in
my fucking mouth you little snake
i see you for the fucking cuck and snake
that you fucking are trying to put words
in my fucking mouth you're trying to
paint me as transphobic
i said i don't give a fuck what they do
and who they borrow from the fucking us
military because the us military
all it fucking does is engage in
bloodshed
utilitarian you fucking understand that
go roll back the fucking clip
and see where i said oh oh yeah i
actually abstractly think trans people
should be bad of course i don't
abstractly think that trans people
should be banned from anything
but guess what if life was made of
fucking abstractions
nothing we wouldn't be speaking about
any of this in the fucking first place
wouldn't even fucking exist if life was
just full of abstractions and there was
no concrete material fucking reality
what are we fucking talking about then i
don't think in terms of abstractions
like you do i don't think in terms of
abstract positions like bread tube does
infrared is about something else about
concrete and material reality that's why
infrared's gonna rise
and we're gonna leave bread tube in the
fucking dust you think you guys are
gonna
outgrow bread too huh yes we do we're
gonna no not just
us us in the whole tanki sphere and the
whole mls
you left like you're trolling no no
tank he actually calls themselves
tankies
wait you're actually trolling you're
actually trolling no tanks out
i'm gonna explain take you think tanki
is a smoker
you're
because i do feel like tanki's better
than snowflake what are you going to
call me a lion
you're going to call me kung kong yes
i'm a fucking tanky i am a
i love that fucking turret tank you
wouldn't be tankies and not snowflakes
so i'm down with that term second of all
your bed tube this is where you're
fucked up
you defined and predicated your entire
position based on supporting biden in
the fucking general
now you've been charged and you got what
you fucking want you're going to own up
to that
i suppose or not whether you distance
yourself from that or not you're owning
up to the fact that by the wand that's
on your fucking shoulder so a new left
is going to be born now
of people including many ex-trump
supporters who are discontented with the
establishment wouldn't think it's going
to thrive from that huh
knowing the demographic name of specific
splinter of the left who do you think is
most primed
to inherit the true and authentic
anti-establishment momentum
that propelled bernie the power and
significance in the first place
that you guys were dick riding off of
it's going to be ml's dude it's going to
be mls
it's going to be tankies and yes we're
not perfect we're not all perfect but we
are the fucking future
china is the future and america is the
past you want to know
what china marxist leninist i agree a
lot of admirals
good and sophisticated as the chinese
but you know what that's the future so
what yes
yes there's a lot of rich trump
supporters and a lot of wealthy trump
supporters what's your fucking point are
you trying to make a point
no i just i find it really funny when
people try to claim that trump's
selection came from some kind of
economic anxiety
it was it was where you live what
country which state do you live in
i lived in florida now i live in
california i lived in california okay
that's why
that's why mr california i live in
fucking michigan it does fucking come
from
the economic it does fucking come from
ordinary working-class people i know
that firsthand
anyone who tries to fucking deny that is
lying mister what do you think
i'm really curious why are you calling
me mr california i've lived here for
seven
months during a pandemic when i can't go
i'm from florida in california
and you really think you you know who
trump supporters are doing wait fucking
do you wait aren't you one of those wait
are when you one of those people think
that california is like uh southern new
york
or sorry florida no florida
i miss smoke do you think florida is
southern new york do you want to
ironically think that
have you have you been to florida have
you been to florida
two miles outside of a major city have
you been to have you been to florida and
drove two miles outside of a major city
okay which part of florida are you from
i am from the uh middle uh western part
of florida
literally out in the middle of nowhere
that's fine that's fine but let me tell
you something
in the i don't know how it is there but
i'll tell you what if you're from
trump signs in every corner is how it is
there i'll tell you
okay okay okay and it was a wealthy
place
no okay no
my point that i'm trying to make is that
most people you don't reporters you
don't think there's
you don't think that those people are
very numerous
that what people who are like that who
are like what
who are like the people you are
describing who are rich
who are ordinary working-class people
absolutely yeah
so you're not denying that no of course
not i think there's plenty of
working-class people that are
speaking about them i'm speaking about
them yeah i think anti-communist
sentiment has affected a lot of
working-class people in terms of
ideology i'm not speaking in terms of
ideology
what do you think is the number one
enemy of communism
what is communism you're speaking in
abstractions i'm talking what do you
think
is one of the biggest historical and
current enemies
of communism other leftists i
like to think that the most that the
strongest and most dangerous enemy of
communism
is fascism just like hitler try to take
out the communists
in a genocide against communists
you don't think that you don't think
that fascism is an enemy of communism is
a threat to communism
i think that
fascism has always been the enemy of
communism i think communism is
glowing beautiful enemy of fascism which
is a danger to the people
let me talk because speaking in terms of
abstract ideology
historically speaking after the soviet
union defeated the nazis
half of fucking europe became communist
so yeah
and then another thing is after during
the cold war fascists
were just mercenaries and fucking gangs
who were hired thugs of american cia
imperialism
they were never ever ever a major threat
in the very
belly of the beast like how you guys are
trying to fucking say the true enemy was
always liberalism
it was always anglo-saxon liberalism has
always been the true enemy of communism
who funded hitler huh the british elites
funded fucking hitler who supported
hitler
the anglo-saxon and british elites
they've always been the fucking enemy of
communism they meet behind the germans
they use the germans to attack the
soviet union that's how that
played out wait is it like hydra like
hydra was using the nazis in order to
achieve their own ends
no it's a well established fact that
international
anglo-saxon financiers and
industrialists funded the nazis you deny
that
industrialists and finances sure
yeah there was class collaboration among
in nazi germany of course
well wasn't no no i'm not talking about
the chinese bourgeoisie
i'm not talking about a bourgeoisie not
talking about that either
i'm talking about nazi germany class
collaboration
and american elites supported nazism do
you know that you know about the
businesses plot
that tried to overthrow fdr do you know
about smedley butler who exposed it do
you know about prescott bush who is
involved in that
all real historical on the record by the
way the american ruling class
wanted to institute a real fascism in
america
but you want to know who's behind it it
wasn't populists like fucking uh
trump's people and shit it was prescott
fucking bush
someone who was deep deep into the
contemporary deep state his and his uh
grandfather or his grandson george w
bush was the fucking president
and he's an establishment guy his
fucking grandfather prescott bush
wanted to overthrow fdr in the
businessman's plots
that's where the fascism was the
establishment it's always been the
fucking
establishment the deep state and all
this fucking bullshit
where it's stretched like decades wait
what do you think the establishment was
a hundred years ago
it was what do you mean is it clarified
what are you asking
and here in america what do you think
the establishment
was a hundred years ago 50 years ago
even 50 years we'll bring it even more
recent
uh 50 years ago what do you think the
establishment was here in america 50
years ago
what do you mean you say it's always
been the establishment what do you think
yeah the american establishment was 50
years ago
what was it what ideology do you think
the
american establishment was 50 years ago
so it's the ideology you're asking for
of course
okay it was anglo-saxon liberalism just
like it is now
what is anglo-saxon liberalism what's
that what's the difference between
anglo-saxon liberalism and uh
i don't know fucking asian liberalism i
don't know
just the fact that it actually has its
historical roots and origins
in uh in england do you not know that or
no
no i'm very aware with the uh the state
of liberalism and
since i don't think in terms of abstract
ideological uh
uh ghosts and abstractions we're talking
about real historical continuities and a
real development of history
and a real ruling class in a real uh
elites we're not talking about
ideological abstractions yes
british liberalism represented the
english
ruling class and the british elites yes
it did
and that transferred and that uh
transferred on to the americans
uh america was a an heir to england in
some sense
then there was uh tension between the
american government
which was more protectionist in insofar
as it was authentically and truly
american
and the british were supporting the
slaveocrats the south uh against
protectionists like lincoln
uh because the british were in favor of
the free market liberal system
and uh the americans were uh were more
protectionists
going off on a fucking tangent but these
ways i'm really curious
i think wait the slaver crats that's
actually a really good meme han
do you think that uh tell me about the
slavercrats
they were supported by england you don't
know that of course i know they were
supported by well they were almost
supported by england they actually
weren't
supported by england no it wasn't known
nope you are completely wrong i've done
a lot of research on the civil war
there was actually very close england
relied on a lot of exports from the
south due to their
agriculture exports of cotton and
whatnot but when lincoln announced that
the uh war was in favor of ending
slavery
europe and especially the uk they didn't
back the fuck out of the officials
they're like
no we're not supporting the south and
that we're nope we're not fighting we're
not they didn't do it
they didn't do it officially dude they
dropped the fuck out officially
because that would amount to a
declaration of war against the north so
they never crossed it and went that far
but the british ruling class and the
british press
were overwhelmingly pro-south marx
himself wrote i think in the new york
tribune
about how the british press was
lamenting the fucking
the ladies of new orleans were being
degraded
and uh who were being humiliated by the
union soldiers
the aristocratic women of new orleans
who were slave owners
the british press was lamenting it that
was marx himself was writing about that
marx and engels both
so you know what i mean when i say who
else
who else did marx write to
are you implying oh yeah he probably
wrote for some uh english newspaper
which
no no i'm really curious is there a
particular figure in america that marx
might have
written to abraham lincoln well he
didn't actually do it personally
mark signed a letter to abraham lincoln
on behalf of the international
working men's association i'm not quite
sure that he actually wrote it himself
did he i'm actually really curious about
that here tell me about it
about it the international working men's
association
wrote a letter to abraham lincoln
expressing their support for him
against the war against the south
interesting because right here i have a
letter from uh marx to labor abraham
lincoln
sir we can congratulate the american
people upon your re-election
by a large category this was shortly
after uh lincoln's re-election
this is actually uh right here look um
it's right on marxist.org my guy it is
right here on
marxist.org written by marx 1864.
okay that was a different thing i was
thinking of the fucking international
working men's association letter
which was a fucking letter that he wrote
no it's okay
it's a cia propaganda no it's okay this
is why you're propaganda
international i don't know my chat told
me the source is actually cia propaganda
i got it it's okay
it's all good no okay okay okay fine
that was your gotcha your one got you
this whole thing and i fucking did
beat you in every other thing it was
just a stupid trivial point that you got
me fucking matter
doesn't even fucking matter what's so
decisive about this point of views
you're making
yeah i got it wrong i thought the
international working men's association
drafted it as an organization and marx
just signed it i didn't actually know
marx personally wrote it uh but nice
gotcha dude
so you you got me dude you really got me
what a great point you just fucking made
what's your point what is that supposed
to reveal and express
you're fucking crazy but very
interesting i'm fucking crazy why am i
crazy dude
i said i think i never even said i was
certain about it i said i'm pretty sure
it was the i don't fucking know i didn't
know fucking for certain why does it
matter though
what was what what was your point dude
what point were you trying to fucking
demonstrate
what kind of gotcha is that you're so
fucking weak dude on every substantive
point
i've defeated and demolished you and you
brought up some trivial
fucking meaningless thing to test my
knowledge dude
you you had that ready at hand at some
factoid
it's in the back of my fucking mind dude
that's not the first fucking
factoid that's on my fucking mind is
who's going to be real
i literally just googled marx and uh
uh abraham lincoln that was the first
thing that came up dude no but
you were trying to get me with a god she
said oh who did marx write to huh and
you had this specific factoid in mind
thinking this was some gotcha even
though it was such a trivial and stupid
and meaningless point
i mean you try to make the argument that
like
there was this like insane amount of
support for the south
there was among the english ruling class
yes there fucking was dude yeah and then
they revoked their support the second
that abraham they revoked their official
support when the going got tough
yeah no not when the going got tupped
tough when that
cringy ass liberalism came along and
they said the war was to end slavery
and the british ruling class was like
anything to do with that oh
fucking shit bull fucking shit bull
fucking shit the fuck they demonized
lincoln as like the czar
they compared lincoln to an
authoritarian czar who was harming the
free trade international liberal system
with this protectionism yes they did
fucking compare lincoln
to a tyrant and a caesar you're a
fucking liar dude you don't know what
the fuck you're talking about
holy shit i don't even i don't really
like i don't really go into history that
much but i
somehow know more than you do they put
back support
cracking down on the liberal free trade
system i'm really curious
wait i'm really curious can you tell me
about the uh
capitalist jewish space lasers while i
go pee when did i mention jews
you mentioned the uh the elites in the
deep state so i'm curious
why did jews have to take the blame for
the anglo-saxon
that's fine you're not willing to bite
down on the jew pill that's fine okay i
i know you're like
you're like a nonsense can you just tell
me about the elite
i'm not hiding anything i plainly see no
explain by
the non-jewish elite space lasers just
explain to my audience
why are why are you associating jews
with elites i didn't do that
why are jews at least the majority of
jews were not fucking elites
okay okay that's fine you know what
that's fine
the reptilians
maybe you don't believe in like the
jewish conspiracy theory talk the
reptilian democracy
i believe why would you assume i believe
it
i don't know maybe you know what it's
completely unreasonable for me to
believe that maybe i shouldn't have
thought that at all
you shouldn't have apologize i'm very
sorry you have a beautiful i have
beautiful facial hair
all right talk to can you keep ranting
in my chat while i uh go pee

i'm really curious like i actually have
like this is a genuine question
this isn't a gotcha this isn't like a
gotcha
or like a uh like a meme point or
anything like that i'm actually
genuinely curious
how popular do you think like tanky
ideology is uh in america around the
world in the west generally speaking
it's it ha in america i'm not gonna
speak for the west that's a different
story
germany has dilinky and france probably
got some shit going on with melanchon
and shit
so i'm not going to speak for
continental europe but yes in the united
kingdom
and america tankies are non-existent i
know but infrared is seeing into the
future
we're filling a niche we believe we're
going to be the future
we're not yet right do you want to do
you want to drop like a link to your
channel on my website chat because
people are asking for uh i don't have an
account on your website oh it's it's
just sanderhall.com you just literally
click a button that says login with
google and it like you'll make an
account right away and you can just
i want to give you my google account so
i don't trust you like that
okay i understand okay but like i'm
can i i'm very drunk right now but can i
get like very um
like leaving like the meme like argument
stuff behind can i get like very genuine
with you for a second yes please please
i've been waiting for that so
i love socialism i don't know if you if
you and i agree on definitions of
socialism or communism
i i one of the biggest issues that i see
right now
in our political system is we have this
big problem
right where it feels like a lot of
social like democrat politicians do it
too of course i'm not like a fucking
democrat
shill right but a lot of um particularly
republican politicians are continuing to
perpetuate this
almost mccarthyist fear of communism
and i see that as a massive threat i
think we need to oust the fucking
republicans for being even closer
to um uh politically relevant and i
think that's we're actually in the
process of this right now if i don't
know if you've noticed but we've seen
that um
the republican party is tearing itself
apart right now between like the
fucking insane trump supporting part of
the republican party
and the arguably less insane
like establishment dumb fuck part of the
party and they're ripping themselves
apart they're splitting their voter base
and i think that is fantastic for us
as like leftists because then we can get
to the point where you can start
radicalizing
um liberals and like people who may be
sympathetic to our cause
to potentially voting for someone like
bernie sanders potentially voting out
some like nancy pelosi in favor of
someone who's more progressive
but the problem is right now that we're
dealing with this
unbelievably conservative anti-communist
like literally believing joe biden as a
communist
um uh contingent of americans and i see
these people as being a huge threat to
us being able to move the americans more
left
and being more willing to unite and vote
for somebody like bernie sanders
okay or someone more progressive okay
well since you're being genuine i'll be
genuine too
we can stop the entertainment and the
charading
and i'll i'll respond to that most
reasonable way i can
in my view the perspective you're coming
from is extremely idealistic what i mean
by that is that
you're attributing significance to the
hidden ideological meaning of phrases
and words like communism and stuff
but i actually think words like
communism take a back seat to the actual
sense and meaning given to them by the
ones calling themselves communists
when people hear the word communism yes
there's a lot of fear-mongering of
what communism means as this scary
horrible
thing but if genuine leaders
leading a new people's politics a new
progressive
independent politics separate from the
democrats like what jimmy dore is trying
to kick start
are helping the people leading the
people and giving expression
to the people's objective and material
uh
sentiments and position they actually
won't care who's calling themselves a
communist
or not they say if that's a communist
maybe i'll be a communist too
so in my view the phrase in the word
communism takes the backseat
uh to the actual meaning given to it as
expressed in concrete reality
by the ones using the phrase so i'm not
worried about mccarthyism
and all the fear-mongering about
communism because the plain truth is
that most americans
just don't know what communism means
they don't know and i'm not saying that
in the sense
of they don't know the true definition
uh that bread tube knows no no offense
i'm not trying to insult you because
we're being civilized now
i'm trying to say that they don't
actually know what communism meant
even in the soviet union and china and
the communist states in those countries
that phrase meant something so radically
different in relation to people
than it does in america so i don't want
to knock on an open door i think the
american people are
actually fundamentally open to the
meaning of communism because the meaning
of communism can't be reduced to the
word communism
it must be reproduced
by learning from the examples of the
communist states and how they were able
to acquire
the support of the majority of people in
their own country
you learn from that and you apply this
in america and americans won't care if
you call yourself a communist or
anything else they'll say
if that's what communism means by god
i'll be a communist too
and by the way i don't believe in
creating a new politics from scratch
based on ideology
we observing the objective and material
uh developments in actual reality such
as the
shifts changing among the progressive
wing of the democratic party
as epitomized by the whole spat with
people like jimmy dore
and as communists i would support and be
on the side of people like jimmy dore
who want to create a new party
and who want to move away from
continually deferring to the
establishment democrats on the basis of
fearing republicans and fascism
because that's what leftists have been
doing for so long but the only reason
why bernie
gained a minimum of relevance is because
he was willing to risk he was willing to
risk the defeat of the democrats
in the name of putting his shoe in the
door for this new progressive politics
when he challenged hillary clinton in
2016. now one could have easily made the
argument
that bernie sanders is going to scare
away potential voters with scary words
like socialism
but because bernie had the courage to
risk
risk the loss of the democratic party
that proved he actually believed in
something deeper than the established
political forces that actually exist
and that's why bernie even got anywhere
anywhere to begin with and that's why
bread tube even exists in the first
place
which was uh taking the um which is an
aftermath the result of bernie sanders
thing that he opened up in 2016. in my
honest view
uh you don't begin from ideology and
what's the quickest way to make
communism palatable with people if you
support the establish because the source
of people's problem
isn't that they have a problem with the
ideas of communism
people associating are associating the
democrats
the republican constituency if it still
has one we don't even know this is all
up in the air now
but in so far as the republicans
constituency has the constituency you're
aware of and i'm aware of because you're
from that place in florida and i live in
michigan so we know who we're talking
about
insofar as the republicans have this
constituency
right um it's because that constituency
views the democrats as part of a corrupt
coastal elite and establishments
what communists need to do is give
expression to their material
interests and then everything will
follow from there
the meaning of communism must be
redefined
not scholastically not by changing how
we
uh not by changing the textbook
definition and arguing about that
the meaning of communism must be
redefined by giving new meaning to it
by concrete example and actual reality
we must act
speak and even think in a popular minded
way
so as to lead by example
and allow communism to reacquire uh
relevance
uh relevance um by
what they call in maoism serving the
people
i completely i can completely respect
that now that we're in like uh
genuine mode i can completely see where
you're coming from
my main issue is and i i think you can
agree with me on this
i think the republican the democratic
party has played a part in this too of
course like a significant part but i
feel like it's
for the most part the republican party
has played a huge part
in stigmatizing communism with people
anything that he
is even close or reminiscent of
communism
like have you i'm really curious have
you seen how often
people and like the trump area have
accused
biden of being a communist have you seen
that
yes i'm familiar with the extent of the
republican
um anti-communist fear-mongering and
rhetoric although i'm not so
sure it's directed against communism as
much as it's directed against the
democrats
now the reason republicans get away with
doing this is because they're basically
saying
that democrats while pretending to be
normal moderate liberals are secretly
communism
communists and communism is an unknown
americans aren't familiar with what
communism is so if you're accusing the
democrats of being this
unknown that people's imagination runs
wild right
so to me i'm actually not afraid of the
extent of anti-communist rhetoric by
republicans
because i know the only reason they get
away with it is because no one's
actually giving concrete expression and
meaning
to the word communism if people
succeeded in doing that
um you know there wouldn't people would
see plain as day that the republicans
are wrong the communists
are not the ones behind joe biden the
communists are precisely the ones
against joe biden
the communists are the ones who want to
help the people and serve the people
and um and create in the words of caleb
maupin
a government of action for
uh the american people addressing things
like the coronavirus as they've done in
china
addressing crisis is like what's going
on in texas
mobilizing resources and people uh
for the benefit of of all i think if
people
saw what communists actually mean and
practice an actual concrete reality
what republicans are saying wouldn't
actually matter the problem is that
communists
as far as i see them and i don't want to
insult you now that we're being
civilized
i don't want to insult you but as far as
i can see as far as the people calling
themselves communists
um and bread tube types and that type of
thing they
they define themselves extremely into
abstractly and scholastically promising
a
new society where there's no money and
they're just
defining it negatively basically and um
it's also a kind of hipster thing like
oh i'm a communist but your intuitive
understanding of communism is wrong
why don't you read my definition where
we're coming from
at infrared and i hope i can speak for
our collective
we're coming from a perspective where
we're saying no we want to change what
people's intuitive sense of communism is
we don't want to say to people you're
into intuition of communism is wrong let
me give you the real
a university educated definition i want
to say
let's speak to people's intuitive
sense and work with that and change that
intuitive sense
that way we won't have to actually care
about the true definition of communism
because as marx
made it as clear as day communism is not
some ideal society we strive for
communism is the real objective and
material movement that's what communism
means
communism is serve the people communism
is
uh a force in reality that merely
represents
uh the super the sublation of the
present state of things
the establishment all that kind of stuff
so
that's pretty much where i'm coming from
with that yeah i just
i feel like um my main goal and i feel
like this is
regardless of whether or not they
realize that we've seen like a lot of
people talk about how
their political journey has led them
from being like maybe a bit more
conservative or even alt-right
more towards communism and they come
through these like
more liberal bread tuber types and i
feel like it's even if you disagree with
these like bread tuber people and i i
want to
i want to be very genuine here i'm not
trying to go for gotchas or anything
but even if you disagree with the
rhetoric or the beliefs of these bred
two people
i feel like if you look at most people's
political stories online
you'll find that like 99 of the time
they went through like a
liberal youtuber like destiny and then
found themselves getting into like
communism and i feel like it's one of
the biggest things we need to do is to
one pull people away from being like
i know you disagree with characterizing
them as fascists but away from like
more of a populist fascistic kind of
idea like immigrants are the reason why
um our current material conditions are
as bad as they are
pulling those people away from that and
more towards realizing
it is the bourgeoisie that is keeping
the working class down that is causing
us to be where we are it's not
immigrants and brown people coming over
from the fucking border
i feel like that even if it's discussing
non-economic issues
such as like immigration trans rights
lgbt um
blm stuff like that i feel like these
have their valuable
characteristics and moving people over
and our main goal right now needs to be
trying to reach
these amer anybody really but most
people that are involved in politics in
the politics here right now are mostly
american you know especially after trump
a lot of people got into
into politics especially left-leaning
politics because of trump
i feel like we need to pull these people
more towards the left i don't know if my
rhetoric is kind of off right now
because i'm very drunk but i feel like
we have to pull these people away from
this like anti like this
weird belief that they have that like
their problems aren't caused by
the capitalist ruling class but instead
by like immigrants taking their journeys
yeah yeah
yeah you know um we we disagree about
the fastest thing but i
100 in good faith you know what you're
talking you're talking about right-wing
reactionary views
about immigrants which are vaguely
anti-establishment by the way we know
uh we you're aware of that they might
they mask themselves that way though
yeah
trump is very trump yeah trump is very
establishment
yeah from like everything i've said
he's in bed with all the republicans and
the you know all those people of course
uh i agree
but um nonetheless they uh they
think themselves subjectively to be at
the establishment
but i was trying to yeah well
my issue with um if i can try to
uh summarize your point here the idea is
that
put we must push them left uh and in
doing so they must
begin a journey of some kind right first
the right wing
then they'll pass through liberals being
liberals a little bit maybe
and then maybe we can prod them further
and further and push them further
but i have an issue with um this idea of
pushing
people further to the left in general
whether it's biden or whether it's right
wingers because
to me this only views the political
spectrum
horizontally this is the best way i
could put it
to me this is actually isn't actually
how it works in reality
it's not that because because this only
works in reality
if the essential reason why people
identify with the political views they
do
can be premised on abstract political
and ideological terms
but i think there's a more fundamental
material reason
why people um become associated with
reactionary anti-immigrant views and all
those kinds of things you're talking
about
and if you can tap into that more
essential reason distill it and give it
more clarity
you can preserve anti-establishment
sentiment
uh while successfully winning these
people over
uh to communism or socialism or
something like that
it's about distilling the essence of why
they fall into reactionary views they do
because you know my view about trump and
this kind of stuff is that
marx in the communist manifesto wrote
about all kinds of different socialism
there's reactionary socialism there's
feudal socialism there's religious
socialism
in a sense this also is a kind of
reactionary
vain socialism and the whole point is
guys
you're going to fail to take down the
establishment look at what happened with
trump
trump failed to do it he betrayed you he
was in bed with them
the more essential thing to me isn't
that these people
actually hate immigrants and hate women
and hate
gay people and transgender people it's
that they have come to encounter all of
this
as epitomizing this ugly hideous world
that they do fundamentally uh are
alienated from and are estranged from
and despise
so it's about giving clarity and
distilling this
fundamental contradiction and alienation
in a more
successful way than reaction uh
reactionary
ideologies are able to we don't have to
think in terms of like push them to we
don't
have to have them pass through stages in
other words what i'm trying to say
i understand that i have i have to go
pretty soon because i'm very drunk and i
probably need to
fucking end stream soon but i i want to
say that like
i understand where you're coming from
okay i i don't agree with like the
um characterization that you've put
forward of trump but i don't agree with
like the idea that like
bread tube is this like liberal um
establishment supporting type thing
the the thing that i'm seeing a lot of
right now is that the republican party
in reactionary ideology which
is distinct distinctively anti-communist
and anti-socialist they seem to try to
divert people's attention
just as you said i feel like that's this
is the argument you're making
away from the real problem which is the
bourgeoisie the capitalist ruling class
um diverting people's attention more
towards like minorities that are like
immigrants whatever they're taking away
people's jobs or whatever the fuck
at the end of the day i feel like a lot
of people's antagonism
against minority groups does come from
some kind of
economic alienation but that economic
alienization
does end up at the end of the day
contributing
to a more um i guess you would refer to
it as liberal um
view of minority groups in america and i
feel like a lot of
trying to deprogram these people from
this idea
is like a very important first step to
getting them on board
with realizing who's their real enemy
the owning the
you know ruling class yeah yeah i listen
um
in good faith here's how i'm going to
translate your point
basically we can be radicals and have
all kinds of strange ideologies
we want but at the end of the day it is
a kind of mainstream
i guess liberal view that for example
uh there's an acceptability of lgbt
people and racial minorities all of
these are kind of a mainstream
liberal normal position so i get what
you're trying to say
um we can't we can't just replace that
but one of the ideas we have at infrared
and which others have is that
we need to create not only a new left
but in a sense a new center a new normal
we need to um give expression to a pro
uh lgbt pro
racial minority pro-women politics
that is at the same time fundamentally
distinct to the opportunistic ways
his uh progressive politics is
supposedly given expression
by liberals and the democrats in other
words
if we can not only preserve these
mainstream very mainstream
progressive cultural positions but also
give
expression to them in such a way that
they are at the same time
anti-establishment and preserve
the fundamental contradiction that gives
rise
to reactionary views without simply
telling the reactionaries they have to
deny this initial contradiction
if this can be done a new kind of center
then the the goal must be not simply to
build something that's to the left of
the democrats
but to build a new pro people
uh anti-establishment specifically
center a new center of some kind that a
lot it will be a platform
to allow us to uh have progressive
cultural positions
but in a new and way another let me
simplify this right
in marxist mumbo jumbo you could you
basically have this idea
there's the bourgeois feminism and
there's the proletarian feminism
there's the bourgeois pro lgbt and then
there's the proletarian kind
now they both appear similar because
they're officially pro-women and
pro-sexual minorities and pro-racial
minorities
but actually they're fundamentally
different in the way that they're given
expression you know
feminists like alexandre kolenta
example and clara zetkin for example
she was founded in international women's
day actually
they are feminists yes but they are
fundamentally profoundly different type
of feminists
than the bourgeois feminists of both
their time and
our time you know so there's a
difference between uh
a pro-people anti-establishment
progressive politics and the one that
prevails
and we must make this a new normal
uh to challenge the establishment
basically
uh we must uh make a new normal baseline
beyond uh centrist liberalism we must
have a
centrist communism i completely agree
with that
but i think we have like different ways
of going about that
my main goal is we have to first destroy
the right-leaning republican party in
this country so we can make democrats be
the new
right-wing party if democrats at a new
right-wing party
we can move further from there if
democrats for the new right-wing party
and that was it like republicans gone
democrats these neo-liberal democrats to
the new right-wing party
we can start to move people more further
left because they're going to start to
realize
this neo-liberalism bullshit isn't
achieving what they think it's going to
achieve
we can start to move the overton window
more left that's one of the biggest
problems i have in america
is how right our overton window is the
same goes even for the uk and many
western countries over in europe there's
a big problem where the overton window
is so far right
it feels really hard to advocate for um
like in a serious more like pragmatic
sense like when it comes to electoralism
when we actually are voting and
affecting change in the government
itself
to move these uh uh parties more left
when there is still a comparatively
far-right party still in existence and
so viable to get elected
well i i just think that this
perspective
with all due respect is a little bit um
framing things in terms of abstract uh
ideological
type of political compass positions and
my view is that once we
focus our attention on the material
essence of this different
these political difference we'll see
that i don't actually think it's
possible to destroy
the republican party and make the
democrats the new right wing
i think if you if the republican party
is destroyed another party will come and
um
replace it uh to fill that vacuum and
maybe in a sense
the reason i'm kind of hesitant right
now is because i don't actually know if
the republican party is already
destroyed
i don't know what's going on with that
it seems like a lot of things are
realigning and changing
as we speak but the fundamental thing
for me
is that we don't even have the power
to do that if we wanted to what we do
have the power to do
is use uh our small
range of uh possible intervention into
the political sphere
to build an alternative to the democrats
and the republicans alike
to build a new center because if we make
ourselves foot soldiers for
establishment democrats
we may think abstractly this is some
grand strategy
but we are handicapping our ability
to realize the independently
mediated and conceived fruits of that
strategy
which requires an independent type of
power right if we have a strategy
that involves acting on behalf of the
democrats
in order to fulfill some further aim
uh you're spending time away from
creating the independent basis to be
able to
when all is said and done challenge the
democrats in the first place
uh when all is said and done that's the
issue
we are limited as socialists as
progressives
as communists we are limited in our
human ability
and what little we can do in my view
should be directed
not to serving the democrats but to
building an independent basis of some
kind
yeah and i and i agree with that it just
it feels really um
it feels like we've got this big problem
when it comes to
this like i like you said before you
want a
you think a new party will come to take
the place of the republicans or whatever
right-wing party there is and i want
that to be the democrats i want
to make it so that the right-wing party
in most like for example we can even
extend this across
uh all of the west right um and we're
talking more specifically about the west
here because this is the
main consumer base of most of our
content
um i want it to be so that republican
party
is a completely irrelevant you know gone
no one votes for them
whatever right the democratic party is
now considered the right-wing party now
and we've got a genuinely significantly
more left-wing party now that opposes
the democratic party as being the
previous like
standard for the republican same goes
for like the tories and whatever in
labor and all that
but um i don't know i feel like this is
one of the most like stressful things
for me because i feel like
besides like the the really like if we
get into the nitty gritty like uh
status stuff we agree on what needs to
be done
now yeah very similarly but we
we get caught up in a lot of infighting
and the right doesn't do this as much
and it's something that
that um upsets me a lot is how much the
left does this infighting on very
uh niche issues when in the short term
at least we need to be uniting
to fight against certain right now
threats to our ideology
um all i would want to say is that if
the republican party represents a
reactionary position
i think those reactionary positions even
if they're assumed under the name of the
democratic party
i don't see what difference it makes i
don't think i think in order to push a
country left
you don't appeal to labels and
superficial
political abstract positions you have
something like for example
we can't replicate this practically but
it's an example of trying to illustrate
the point i'm saying
during the cold war the soviet union its
very existence
pushed everyone left the republicans
were left-wing
compared to today and the democrats were
too
extremely left-wing compared to today
just because the soviet union existed
and it was this alternative
in order to rearrange the political
spectrum
and redefine the political spectrum
you have to assume some type of novel
position that relates to the objective
and material essence
that defines people's relationship to
politics
when you relate to the essence in a new
way
it will push the forum along is what i
would say
and the second thing about the hostility
specifically between us
i hope you don't take it too personally
i've got personally very heated and
caught up in the excitement and
it's entertaining and it's like wwe and
it's fun
um but i think the main source of my
hostility
was that when i initially typed in the
chat
um uh i was just upset that i was banned
you know that's pretty much why
uh i think why i escalated it so far
but since you have very kindly and very
graciously
um decided to engage me in a genuine and
human way
um i see no reason why not to return the
favor
it's just that a lot of people tend to
be very dismissive of us
and they um they don't treat us in a
human or genuine way
uh and a lot of people also want to
cancel us a lot of people just
think we shouldn't be tolerated but if
people treat us in a genuine way in a
human way
of course we must be human beings you
know
yeah and i appreciate that like the
first part of this debate was very fun
it's a good time and we you know the wwe
kind of like blood sports stuff is fun
but at the end of the day like
the reason why i got into this whole
political thing is because i i
enjoy i've always want to be a youtuber
and i enjoy talking about what i talk
about but i also
want to affect meaningful change in the
world and um
i just i feel like the right is so
efficient at
getting together and like everything
from libertarians to
full-on neo-nazis and stuff like that
are so good at coming together and
and getting behind a single goal and
achieving what they want to achieve
but the left is isn't nearly as good at
that and it's something that
um worries me greatly
well on a positive note i guess if it's
positive
it seems like the right is very much in
disarray now and
um a lot of people are con looking for
new alternatives and
new ideas after trump and to be fair
there's a
the right do have their share fair of uh
infighting that i've witnessed
um but uh yeah i think
uh infrared we basically just want to
define ourselves we want to
bring something new to the table right
if anything else
um and if people treat us and disagree
with us
it's completely fine to disagree with us
if people treat us with respect we will
treat anyone who treats us with respect
it will return the favor um it's only
when people
uh begin to disrespect us that
we will maybe get a little bit um
wwe you know yeah i i understand that
um i guess just from content creator to
content creator if i'm
if i'm to give you a little bit of
advice when it comes to online content
creation and building your audience
there's a certain level like i know it's
cringy when it comes to politics but
in regards to content creator advice
um optics is very important um
if you're trying to build an online
career you do have to worry about optics
you do have to worry about how you look
regardless of whether or not it means
that um maybe you have to sacrifice
some of the uh principally beliefs that
you hold
if you want to be efficacious and
putting forward your message you do have
to focus a lot on optics because
people's first impressions of you
really do matter okay i appreciate your
advice we are very new to this
uh this is like one of my 12th stream or
something so
um yeah i appreciate the advice we are
kind of newbies to the game
and i understand i'm a little bit
ridiculous but i want people to know i
don't actually take myself that
seriously i'm just having some fun
um and i know how the internet works you
know i know
it's just how you get meme to oblivion
right yeah
but you know it's it's just um
it's just good fun you know yeah it was
a good time i appreciate
um you having me uh you know talking to
me and everything like that

initially just meant to be like me doing

i do this every friday where i just get
really drunk so i'm hammered right now
but um i do i do appreciate you talking
to me and i know at the beginning it was
like very spicy but i i
try to keep most conversations i have
very productive
so i'm glad we're able to like wrap it
up with with this but is there anything
else you want to
want to say before we wrap things up
um infrared's a completely brand new
channel so if you're interested
