I haven't watched the video but the guy annoys me so much. I like his content but it's pretentious as fuck. He also has the "we will be better than SU since we understand Marxism better" hot take. If there's something that's un-Marxist, it's certainly is that.

really just a boring old leftcom take tbh

Zero books is terrible, it feels like pseudo-Marxist opportunism most of the time. Verso has some good books since they republish/translate Marxist books that have been largely forgotten, but there is probably a reason Mark Fisher left Zero books that we don't know about.

Ben Burgis is even worse, he is terrible at arguing and takes the incorrect approach by trying to rebut conservatives through "logic." I have thought about trying to make my own little publishing operation, just printing and binding books and listing them on Amazon or something, like Marxist classics or reprinting books from the USSR, like Clemens Dutt's Fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism. But seeing what happened to Pravda makes me not want to.

God this guy is such a self righteous hack. Does everything he can to ride Mark Fisher's coattails it's really disgusting. Tries to cop the right wing youtube clickbait aesthetic instead of making an alternative and is just extremely cringey.

REALLY? This is his conclusion of all this incoherent shit? That we should work with fucking Bernie and AOC instead of organising workers and form communist vanguards?
This reminds on a group called "Worker's League for the rebuilding of the KPD" here in Germany - they are officially anti-revisionist and praise Stalin and Mao, but their practice focuses on art projects while they called for workers to vote for the neoliberal SPD because there is "currently no mass base for a vanguard" and surprisingly, they also like Israel. Sure these Leftcoms would not like Stalin and Mao but they are practically the same at this point.

I like Doug and don't much agree with him here, but to play devils advocate I would say that Bernie and AOC have the potential to steer the conversation away from the endless reactionary fearmongering and liberal idpol towards more important issues. As long as the country is divided on immigration, abortion, LGBT etc, proles will never achieve class consciousness. Your workers league is an example of this, the national conversation must be steered towards serious discussion of socialism before any significant number of proles would subscribe to your organizations and communes. Yuck, I feel gross typing that out but in some ways it makes sense.

How would you start such an operation?
I mean, printing is easy enough but binding requires expensive machines, doesn't it?
