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.

White libs are trying to cancel this guy cause he speaks sense and knows what he's talking about. More leftists should check him out and read his stuff.

The question the lady asks at the end about the neoliberal era really starting at 1973 was really well articulated. I was surprised by that comment coming out of nowhere and having a lot of context backing it up. There are posters everywhere for those with the eyes to see.

Also people should sub to this channel as well. Some really interesting work being done by the people on it. All marxist academics.

I read his The Darker Nations: A People's History of the Third World (2007) this summer and gained a new respect for him. Really elegant, well-researched thoughtful text on the Non-Aligned Movement.

I listen to his podcast sometimes and was familiar with some speeches etc but I didn't really know he operated on this level because most of his later books are sparsely-cited pamphlets. But no, he's a pretty serious dude, it makes sense why Chomsky fucks with him (say what you will about Chomsky's politics but he takes this stuff seriously and doesn't suffer fools lightly).

(Oh shit I just clicked the link it's Gabriel Rockhill, another very cool serious dude hell yeah I'll watch this)

Love Gabriel Rockhill! He just did a podcast about Western Marxism with Momodou Taal (the student that Cornell tried to deport for disrupting a weapons company career fair) that is incredible https://open.spotify.com/episode/4pz62hjiW2VgWp6OJxN8Am

Good looking out! Yeah I'll check that out - his interviews on The East is a Podcast have been great too, looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of the Losurdo text he wrote the intro for soon - dude at the bookstore said there's been a lot of interest so far and they're waiting for copies to come in.

title reminiscent of Uncle Ho's The Path Which Led Me To Leninism (1960)
