Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.
Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.
There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

Was a liberal when I first watched it. Upon reviewing it as a communist I was surprised at how accurate the dialogue is, but I also recognized that the communists were portrayed as a bit goofy. I cut out a scene in which the English guy describes a straw man of historical materialism, saying that with it one could "write down the future with just as much confidence as you write down the past" (rather than predicting the broad outlines of history).
I haven't seen Death of Stalin, but I heard they depicted the Red Terror of the great purges continuing into 1953.
