here we have it, another right wing channel getting popular, i was watching something totally different and the youtube recommendation shows me this kind of shit, where do they get the money? how it's possible that this kind of shit goes out of control?
hurr durr. there is also that they are all about emotions which is why they are far more engaging, liberalism always enables fascism and the free market of ideas needs to be abolished like any other market.
Gavin Hughes
Is the guy on the left supposed to be Adam Smith?
I wonder what dipshits like this guy would have to say to quotes like this: "Wherever there is great property there is great inequality. For one very rich man there must be at least five hundred poor, and the affluence of the few supposes the indigence of the many. The affluence of the rich excites the indignation of the poor, who are often both driven by want, and prompted by envy, to invade his possessions. It is only under the shelter of the civil magistrate that the owner of that valuable property, which is acquired by the labour of many years, or perhaps of many successive generations, can sleep a single night in security. He is at all times surrounded by unknown enemies, whom, though he never provoked, he can never appease, and from whose injustice he can be protected only by the powerful arm of the civil magistrate continually held up to chastise it. The acquisition of valuable and extensive property, therefore, necessarily requires the establishment of civil government. Where there is no property, or at least none that exceeds the value of two or three days' labour, civil government is not so necessary.
…
It is in the age of shepherds, in the second period of society, that the inequality of fortune first begins to take place, and introduces among men a degree of authority and subordination which could not possibly exist before. It thereby introduces some degree of that civil government which is indispensably necessary for its own preservation: and it seems to do this naturally, and even independent of the consideration of that necessity. The consideration of that necessity comes no doubt afterwards to contribute very much to maintain and secure that authority and subordination. The rich, in particular, are necessarily interested to support that order of things which can alone secure them in the possession of their own advantages. Men of inferior wealth combine to defend those of superior wealth in the possession of their property, in order that men of superior wealth may combine to defend them in the possession of theirs. All the inferior shepherds and herdsmen feel that the security of their own herds and flocks depends upon the security of those of the great shepherd or herdsman; that the maintenance of their lesser authority depends upon that of his greater authority, and that upon their subordination to him depends his power of keeping their inferiors in subordination to them. They constitute a sort of little nobility, who feel themselves interested to defend the property and to support the authority of their own little sovereign in order that he may be able to defend their property and to support their authority. Civil government, so far as it is instituted for the security of property, is in reality instituted for the defence of the rich against the poor, or of those who have some property against those who have none at all."
Anyway, yeah, YouTube is a capitalist platform owned by Google, of course it's going to promote right-wing content.

Classical Economists like Ricardo and Smith are basis for any sane anarchist
Justin Cox
Not gonna watch this horseshit but Marx notoriously worked with the classical economists findings (Ricardo & Smith). Of course, retarded right-wingers dont read marx so w/e
Charles Foster
Right wing channels will keep getting popular as long as there's no real left alternative. What we have now is either tankies reading long monotonous lectures on theory and life in USSR being great and "anarchist" liberals telling sob-stories about capitalism being bad, with 75% of the video being caveats to prevent tripping every existing idpol landmine imaginable.
Found this article made of citations from The Wealth of Nations showing how Adam Smith is way closer to Marx than mainstream economists: cadtm.org/Adam-Smith-is-closer-to-Karl-Marx My favorite is this bit where he BTFO'd landlords.
Oliver Walker
I fucking love family guy, this shit is great dude
Ryder Richardson
Pic related is how the author imagines "communist utopia." A space station with junk food on the floor. I love it how "abundance" to these fuckers means infinite truckloads of the most capitalist shit you can imagine.
While mostly true, this applies to the working class even more since they'll vote for stuff that's actively against their class interest, while landlords tend to do stuff that strengthens their class position.
Jonathan Taylor
it honestly looks like it's made in flash, because it's so ridiclously easy to animate. low effort garbage basically.
Christian Parker
😈 Let's make a dialogue and put those words from Smith into the mouth of Marx and take words from Marx praising how dynamic capitalism is and give them to Smith. (Just make him say entrepreneur instead of bourgeois, people get triggered by that word.) marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch01.htm >The East-Indian and Chinese markets, the colonisation of America, trade with the colonies, the increase in the means of exchange and in commodities generally, gave to commerce, to navigation, to industry, an impulse never before known, and thereby, to the revolutionary element in the tottering feudal society, a rapid development. >Modern industry has established the world market, for which the discovery of America paved the way. This market has given an immense development to commerce, to navigation, to communication by land. This development has, in its turn, reacted on the extension of industry; and in proportion as industry, commerce, navigation… >The bourgeoisie entrepreneur, historically, has played a most revolutionary part. >[The entrepreneur class] has accomplished wonders far surpassing Egyptian pyramids, Roman aqueducts, and Gothic cathedrals
Dominic Peterson
Stop switching words around to appease brainlets.
Connor Bell
The point is to make Smith and Marx switch statements and see how people conditioned by constant capitalist propaganda react to that. If you keep in the word bourgeois the switcheroo gets too on the nose, you can trap more people if you change that. Adding to the switching by strongly changing the sentences undermines the point of switching in the first place, but strong change in meaning is not the case when replacing bourgeois class with something like investors, businessmen, or bosses.
Thomas Walker
Breadtube got the aforementioned 99 idpol caveats thing going for it that turns most of the zoomers off. We need left youtubers that are edgy, unapologetic and raise class consciousness.
Asher Nguyen
Secular talk, michael brooks, jimmy dore, george galloway All of these people have sizeable followings and insist that class is a more important division than idpol
Sebastian Myers
Maybe the reason that it's getting popular is that it appeals to an under-served market segment since pretty much all MSM other than FOX is somewhere from left-leaning to communist. Remember this is YouTube you're talking about, they'll ban right-wingers on a whim, so this getting popular probably means it's developed a devoted following.
Shouldn't you be in favor of more speech, not less? If the ideas presented in these cartoons are so wrong or terrible then why don't you create a video or series picking them apart and presenting counter-arguments?
Henry Jackson
found the Zig Forums
Ian Fisher
Funny you should mention that. I got kicked off there for challenging their Jewish conspiracy theories.
Lucas Evans
Fair enough; you don't necessarily have to be Zig Forums to believe that MSM is left (but you do have to be pretty stupid).
Brody Hall
Markets create trash. Marketplaces of ideas create trash ideas.
So you see it's not censorship, it's "cleaning up pollution". Which youtube are hardly doing "on a whim", but rather only as a last resort, when the stench drives away advertisers, and attracts possible regulation.
Jacob Martin

Easton Morris
Is that why everything produced by the major socialist countries of the 20th century was either total crap or a crappy imitation of something produced in a capitalist country?
Just one example: Color Television. The first broadcast in the capitalist west was in 1951, but the Soviets had to wait 17 years for an inferior knock-off.
Luke Lewis
Of course there's a double-standard for "content" and advertising.
Taboola/outbrain chum boxes are fascinating from a psychological perspective. A large portion of the internet are browsing on pure id instinct. Then there's Elsa gate. It's so much worse than the worst cyberpunk dystopia our best writers could imagine.
Eli Kelly
is it really? you want to live in the 19th century?
Charles Foster
Yes correct, televisions are trash. They were the archetypal commodity under capitalism under the advent of smartphones.
James Baker
I thought the first color TV was in czechoslovakia?
Blake Wilson
The first color all electronic color televisions were developed in America in the 1940s but the first broadcast didn't happen until CBS ran an episode of the Ed Sullivan Show in 1951. There were some earlier demonstrations but they were either small-scale demos or geared toward mechanical televisions. America had regular color broadcasting by 1953.
Belarus did have the first regular broadcasts in Europe in 1961, but had poor resolution compared to American color television. Russia didn't see color televisions or broadcasts until 1967. And it should be noted that those televisions were copied from American sets rather than developed internally.
The same thing happened with the Concord airliner. The Russians wanted one as a status symbol so they stole the plans and made a cheap knock-off with more engine noise, worse fuel economy, and other serious flaws.
Charles Morris
I was thinking during the 1930s, not commies commies invent shitty things, like shopping malls for instance
Thomas Evans
Mechanical televisions had serious and fundamental limitations that prevented them from ever seriously competing against electronic color televisions. Most mechanical color televisions used a disk with holes that blocked nearly all light from the bulbs, resulting in a dim, blurry, distorted picture. There were other, better designs that used mirrors, but these also had the fundamental limits of a mechanical device: low frame rates, poor resolution, etc. And the quickest way to kill a resistance bulb is to switch it on and off very quickly.
Benjamin Morris
Unless you live in either the DPRK or maybe Cuba, this is literally impossible. There is not a single communist media channel in the west period, unless being for rainbow capitalism is "communist" for you. Doesn't exist in reality. Easily read short, but incorrect, clickbait will always be easier to digest and listen to (and thus rise to the top) then boring long detailed (but correct) rebuttles.
What is this, high school? General discussion about the Warsaw pact with mention of scientific achivments Military Hardware
No. Read here
As a bonus, have some pdfs outlining how the USSR also pioneered the first prosthetic bionic arm.
Ian Brown
delusional, MSM goes from center to right, but from the faaaaaar right point where you're standing it's all far left to you they ban the ones that drop the mask and start preaching DotP, dunno how society will survive without those vibrant thinkers
I have to come back to this again to say that you would have to be high on ideology or fundamentally retarded to even make this statement. Even anti-soviet historians acknowledge that the USSR produced things of merit. Lets look at really basic shit like firearms for example. The Gewher 43 gas system is ripped straight from the SVT-40 which came earlier, something they kept as far as the G36. The Dragunov pioneered the use of DMR's and forced every other country to consider utilizing DMR's after they demonstrated their practicallity and effectiveness. The AK-47 provided a cheap, reliable, effective assault rifle that outlasted even the USSR and acts as fun no-guns detector for those who claim that it's the same as the StG cause of appearance. Not even just firearms, the introduction of the T-34 literally shifted German tank design (though not production methods). "Everything", really?
Grayson Howard
Why are you being so disingenuous to frame OP’s disdain for that shit YouTube channel as him wanting to ban it? See pic related
thats an entirely different short stroke system dumbass
the doctrine necessitating volume of fire is a western invention dating back to the 19th century, and even that doctrine is just an extension of archery which predates "capitalism"
the dragunov is an extension of russian reliance on snipers which dates to before the USSR even existed back to innovations as elemantal to modern sniping as painting rifles black so they reflect less light
Chase Davis
as a stemfag somebody clearly hasn't studied destilation column design, where all you find is articles ripping off soviet scientists and pretty much erasing them out of history, except for a few citations and a dead trail of american papers that ends just after the soviet union does because i've found that research in market based system cares more about commodifying already existing shit, in the verneer of progress, instead of minor improvements that could be more socially benefitial long term
Jesus christ why are you being this dense. The only purpose the type of vids FinBol makes (using him as an example because he's the perfect example of those dry theory/defending USSR vids) is to further convince people that want to learn more about socialism and already are on their way to becoming socialists, also to simply reinforce the beliefs of MLs/learn something new. His videos aren't at all suited for hooking people onto socialism in the first place. This is why we need counter-alternatives for channels such as FreedomToons, PragerU, etc
Ian Rodriguez
What? The G36 short stroke is nearly the same as the G43 save for a few changes regarding venting to deal with the overgassing problem in the G43's system and some simplification. I didn't even bring up volume of fire, otherwise I would have brought up the RPD or RPK. The AK-47 was useful and needed for more then it's volume of fire if that's what you are insinuating, it was also needed to update their soon to be outdated arsenal and to provide a rifle that could utilize an intermediate cartridge, be used with accuracy at the ranges they were expected to fight, and be cheap and reliable enough that it could be issued to even newly conscripted service members. It was also meant to bridge the gap between multiple other in-service weapons and provide all around applicability for the average soldier. We aren't talking about snipers themselves, we are talking about DMR's. As in, an actually applicable semi-automatic designated marksman rifle. Something the US didn't realize the importance of until near the end of the Vietnam war.
I'm not talking about the gun, I'm talking about the gas system. That was literally the first thing I stated. Not the time period we we're talking about, given we were talking about volume of fire in respect to the AK-47 being introduced. PKM came later.
its like talking about coldwar air superiority and ignoring cheap soviet SAMs which managed to damage even the SR-71 and trying talk about how great mig-15s are
Ryder Davis
NO! THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE FUN OF OUR JEW IDOL!!! SHUT IT DOWN!!! BOMB IRAN!!!
No one here argues for this, and the video you are defending is literally someone who plays apologia for Trump supporting Israel and by extension its pushing for war with Iran.
The right to free association. I have no intention of associating with racists, capitalists and other reactionary scum, or tolerating them polluting the environment I live in, or sucking my oxygen.
Says every fundamentalist ever. Yes, yes, we get it. Your dogma is the true dogma. All wicked nonbelievers must be purged. Only your beliefs can bring us to a golden age of Progress.
why do you keep assuming we have this mystical power to ban whoever we want from muh sobal mebia? Its not like were actually doing any legitimate praxis.
Joshua Russell
Because not all ideas are equally valid, which makes censorship necessary. Of course, censoring an idea doesn't solve the problem of the dipshit spewing it, which is why I do not condone censorship.
Ian Butler
So you haven't explained why i don't need to kick you off my platform, despite being right. It's profitable to silence dissent, you know.
actually, because you're using a privately owned platform, you don't have a "right" to speak on it. This is why private property rights are bad. Stop being a brainlet.
Camden Hill
Holy shit you guys are desperate.
