      They're not dedicated communists, but neither are they dedicated radlibs. If streamers are your yardstick, Vaush has 240k followers on twitter. Hasan has 1.4 million.

                  It's a nice house yeah, but it's just a house, and his extended family lives in it.

                  But yeah being a socialist means not having a house. Kulaks were Kulaks because they had homes, not because they were petty agricultural capitalists who acted against the revolution. Real theory hours.

                  Despite that, saying Hasan is a First Worldist is insane, regardless of whatever your house opinion of him is. He's been consistently supportive of struggles in the global south, and critical of imperial ventures.
