The Democrat Cops of America is NOT Helping the Cause - New SCATHING Jason "ROO!" Unruhe video attacking Democrat Cops of America and China apologists, fuckers!
Social democracy is NOT socialism! Social democracy leads people closer to supporting capitalism than socialism because it placates them. China is NOT socialist.
Roo has made about 20 videos on the "social democracy isn't socialism" topic. He needs to branch out and make videos on real theory.
loving this MTW sophistry. It’s the only
way they can justify hating one big US military base in Syria.
He should go back and read Engels.
marxists.org
"Provided that these socialists do not enter into the service of the ruling bourgeoisie and attack the communists" is the real sticking point though
Uncle Roo is the definition of an ideologue. I'm a third worldist too, but doesn't he know that the overton window exist?
I like Jason as well but he's sounding like a broken record.
I feel as if people are opposing what Jason is saying simply because he is Jason
yes, people who call themselves demsocs and socdems are the same as the ones on the 19th century
in practice they are functionally no different
pls stop it with this political determinism, universal healthcare will only make people more complacent.
I don't think so. Reading Marx and Engels is shocking for how relevant it all still is. D*SA seems like a mix of the democratic socialists and the "bourgeois socialists" who Engels thought no collaboration with which was possible.
He needs to stop with generic news videos and make more videos that actually analyze stuff from a Marxist perspective in-detail – this is all assuming Roo has the brainpower for that though
I think Roo is smart. He's demonstrated he's able to explain pretty complex stuff in a simplistic way. However, he does need to branch out more and do more theory vids so people actually understand the ideology he's promoting.
Nah, considering everything he says just fucking destroys the damn thing.
his ideology has no scientific foundations. he can't do theory vids because it's all conjecture
I actually enjoy his gaming stuff. The concept of a mohawked Maoist gamer is inherently ridiculous but it's not more insane or absurd than people who think Elizabeth Warren or whoever is going to save the planet. I liked him taking a Marxist view of the Fallout games and such – he should do more of that. But I don't care what he thinks of the D*SA or any other group – and besides he's not even American
(me)
To add: He should focus more on the Canadian left. I don't make comments about which Canadian socialist group is the best; I'm a non-interventionist and would not intrude on Canadian sovereignty in this matter, and that is a question for Canadians to decide
I like the transgender woman named after that video game better.
Bionic Commando Score Points or whatever.
She is cute and wears cute outfits and entertains me more.
This guy just talks about stuff, and he isn't even a cute trap.
Hey does anyone else here post on Chapo Traphouse?
GRITTY AND BASEBALL! HAHA!
He has a few videos attacking Canadian communists, RCP for instance.
Contrapoints is not cute at all. Get a better taste
t. trap-loving homosexual
She's alright.
I don't understand this fat ass. His own ideology posits that NOTHING in America is socialism because America can't produce a socialist movement. There isn't any point in wasting breath calling them out for not being real socialists. It's not like they're using up oxygen from the "real" American socialist movement, and it's not like they're a threat to socialist movements in other countries. He's tilting at windmills according to his own dumb ideology. I just don't get it.
I don't think he is tautological, I think he is just saying the Democrat Cops of America is another example of first worlders preferring social democracy. But he must make videos like this because there is literally nothing else for him to do. He is convinced there is no potential for revolution here, therefore there is nothing he can do. I assume if a revolutionary party arose to his standards and instigated a mass movement, he'd probably support it.
3rd Worldism is basically ivory tower LARPing. All it does is critique western culture, all while denying any sort of meaningful socialist movement is possible. It's a completely useless theory TBH.
Then why doesn't he start a video series about sniffing his own farts? It would at least be easier to monetize.
19th century communist dog whistle lol
I dunno, does roo actually get a living off of this? Maybe his books? Does he have enough of a following? I kind of like that he continues to make videos with few views and few patrons. It's like he is never going to give up on youtube polemics. I'd be sad if he suddenly quit Maoism, became an accountant and moved to Hawaii
She even has a ☭TANKIE☭ character, Tatiana Tankikova
He should just lean into gaming tbh, do an Ostalgie LP etc.
He's said he needs to keep making videos for the sake of income. That's why he's always complaining about the algorithm fucking up his viewcount.
...
He's said he used to be able to live off YT when he was getting tens of thousands of views per video. I'm guessing this was back in 2011-13 when he was making vids about Gaddafi.
She is fucking beautiful. I am in love with her.
Is Roo turning into an imperalist?
I’m general, communists don’t to that. Primarily, communists aren’t as circumspect about expressing their views as conservatives are because burger conservatism is still based largely on white supremacy, which they’ve had to hide after the Civil Rights Movement and the general cultural consensus that racism is bad. Conservative paranoia that their opponents rhetoric is coded euphemisms that actually refer to something much darker to the initiates comes from the fact that this is precisely how American conservatism functions.
WTF? The video was baleeted.
How do you people watch Jason? I tried watching a few minutes of his video and it's so amateurish. He doesn't even try.
CIA shut it down, so the proles wouldn't know.
His buffoonery is his entire appeal, hence why most of the people who watch him are either teenagers with Soviet fetishes, or reactionaries who want a welfare state.
Because of this guys retarded hair and Meme outfit I never knew he was real I thought he was a false flag like Boston antifa
I can't help to think he is just the product of repeating 1000's of Meme songs from middle aged punk rockers indoctrinating children with no real solid political argument.

Back to >>>>Zig Forums, xexizy
Hasn't he admitted to working part-time at a gas station recently? It was through Twitter, I think, and some user posted a screenshot in a similar thread to this one.
Thought you were serious until the end tbqh
not an argument. MTW is pseudo-science.
it's back up
Does he still work at a gas station? I think it was part-time, but it's something.
Beat me to it. Sorry.
My favorite video from him in a while. I love the thunderous tone at the beginning and how he destroys the "Lenin supported the NEP so he would support the Democrat Cops of America!!!!" bullshit argument.
I agree with the Roo, but the issue with him is that he never offers a solution. He often reaches almost leftcom levels of armchair. He's against every solution anyone puts forward while not having any of his own. If you don't put forward alternatives, then people will join the Democrat Cops of America, because what else are they going to do?
but people doing things is stupid because they have no potential lol
just do like nothing dude because, like, class doesnt even exist in the first world
everyone is a capitalist there lol
like, dude, you just dont get it
fascist class collaboration is just the flow you go with, man
His solution is to make revolution with the exploited third worldists I guess.
I think the best way to consider his ideology, if I get it right, is akin to a leftcom in the sense that individual action is almost pointless and there are these kind of large forces which are going to do what they are going to do, except I don't see how leftcoms think authentic revolution will ever happen. Roo thinks authentic revolution has happened, and it has happened in the developing countries. He thinks more revolutions can happen there, but the only thing holding them back is western hegemony. So the best thing a third worldist can do is be anti-war, and anti-imperialist. Make alliances with liberals even to be anti-imperialist, just don't let the United States or its allies strangle third world movements. He thinks fighting for socdem reforms is a waste of time because it has no revolutionary potential, and he feels like he is speaking to what will inherently (due to large historical forces) be a minority of the proles in the developed world who have some sort of class consciousness. He genuinely believes that if he can spread the primacy of anti-imperialism, it can build socialist power in the third world that will break off global labor and raw material supply chains built on imperialist exploitation, and deal a serious blow to world capitalism.
That is my just bullshitting. That is how I interpret him.
I should add that I don't mean spread anti-imperialism in the third world, of course, because they are going to have an inherent tendency to be anti-imperialist as its victims. I just mean, to the question of "why does he make videos and criticize everyone?", I think it's because virtually nothing except anti-imperialism matches his idea of productive action. For him socdem reform is a red herring at best, and at worst a fixation that will drive would be leftists off a cliff.
Yeah but he isn't anti-imperialist first. He said "fuck everyone who votes Corbyn because he's not a real socialist", yeah but at least he's less imperialist than the Tories, so if you're in the first world and your main goal is anti-imperialism, you should vote for him. I dunno, I've never seen him offer any substantial way forward, and Marxism without praxis is about as useful as a chocolate condom. Praxis is the main goal of Marxism. I mean, he did once join the LLCO, then immediately unjoined them because they thought North Korea was a monarchy (which is bullshit, but again, nothing is ever good enough for him).
I think Jason is correct about his anti-imperialist position but I think he's too dismissive of reform efforts elsewhere. He is too caught up in theory. A lot of what reform movements can do is train organizers. Most people who engage in this stuff have no idea going in what to do or how their skills can be put to use, so we really need to be creating organizers. Just learning basic stuff – why not?
It's okay if he doesn't join a party. I think if you're on the left you should get involved in something but it's also okay to bounce around and not go immediately into hawking newspapers. Or hell go crazy and start knocking on doors like Jehovah's Witnesses. It's all good
Roo follows the ideology known as socialism with Chinese and armchair characteristics, he's a perfectionist when it comes to western leftist organisations but will overlook the most ridiculous shit when talking about 3rd world countries
Compare how fucking hard he goes against corbyn and other westerners with his soft peddling on everything from the Khemer rouge to Iran, his preening and whining over the excesses of 1st world society with his own eager, overly obnoxious indulgence in them, the videos of him complaining about his critiques being champagne socialists while he smokes cuban cigars are the perfect example
Outside of that he's a fat, degenerated mess and a hypocrite, I honestly don't think he believes in anything real, he's got his head stuck down the theory hole and runs MRN mostly for the money (he makes a surprising amount of it, or at least did before the adpocalypse) and uses the flaws and compromises his critics have from being real people actually trying to do something to bat criticism aside and provide justification for his own poor behaviour
He's like a fat, useless Trotsky
His rants against Bernie and the DS*A are justified. They are warhawks and support imprisoning whistleblowers like Assange and Snowden because the American media says they're Russian spies. Corbyn on the other hand has an actually decent foreign policy (Syria, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Iran) for a social democrat, and seems to be supportive of Assange (twitter.com
But they don't support imprisoning whistleblowers in general. Just Assange, because he helped Trump assblast them.
show me one quality video made by this brainlet and I will eat a hat.
And that makes it okay to you?
Can we send Unruhe to China to carry out the people's war already?
This isn't an argument. None of us should be convinced by this, as it is obviously times have changed.
I think it is pretty obvious Marx and Engels misunderstood how Capitalist society would develop, specifically how advanced the State would become in regards to the protection of Capitalism. The Internet has allowed this to a degree they never could have predicted, and I think the idea that SocDem ideology taints the watering hole is a fair idea that shouldn't be dismissed with an Engels quote.
He doesn't think China has revolutionary potential and views it as an imperialist bourgeois state.
I think there's a vast difference between having a specific political grudge against Assange and being a warhawk. It's not like they support invading countries or overthrowing governments or even going after whistleblowers. They just want to go after the people responsible for Trump. It's myopic of them, but forgivable.
I know what you mean. At first I thought, that Jason's channel is some kind of an art project.
Uroo is just a cuck and Democrat Cops of America is better than nothing.
He is a leaf so opinion -→ discarded anyways
Until they get rid of their old guard and like half of the wreckers they will never be more than the left wing of the democratic party.
Jason is based and a hero of Zig Forums. Libcucks, anarkiddies, Trotcons and Soros backed Xexizy/Muke shills need to fuck off back to their containment boards >>>>>>>>Zig Forums>>>>>/liberalpol/>>>>>>/r/neoliberalism
I have no problem with people opposing the Democrat Cops of America, or even Corbyn. Corbyn is a bit different because at least he has the spine to not support Israel, imperialist war or the monarchy, but the Democrat Cops of America has no-one like that in it. My issue with Jason is he doesn't have any answers.
I find it comical that red neo-lib shits somehow think that the first world has any revolutionary potential. Do you honestly think that a oil worker in Texas who earns $100k per year has any class solidarity or shares any class interest with the Bangladeshi child who makes his jeans for 0.13 cents per hour?
I mean a bunch of old guard D*SA people and libs got made when all the new people who joined started chanting "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" at their last convention lol
Some guy showed up at my branch meeting wearing a Kibbutz t-shirt and I got to talking with him about the old left-wing Kibbutzes. But it turns out he was trying to suss out what we thought about Israel and I told him it was an Apartheid state and he got really buttmad and left, which is well enough.
The memiefesto:
Whoops, had already been posted.
and he's right
I think the retail worker that works 60 hours between multiple jobs and can barely afford rent probably does. Or are they bourgeoisified too?
STOP MAKING UNRUHE THREADS NO ONE CARES ABOUT THIS IRRELEVANT AUTIST
As long as we have a unipolar world order (especially one based around the US) "revolutionary potential" will be nothing more than an abstraction. By challenging the US China is doing more for the future of socialism than just about any socdem in the west.
he makes fair points but draws idiotic conclusions
also unruhe please
Contrapoints is based and our girl.
