unfortunately our automatic revisionism detector scrubbed liam from most of this episodeAdam Something on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AdamSomethingTIC...
One of the Kill James Bond episodes had them proclaiming their support for Cuba (and maybe Venezuela, I don't remember), but maybe that's just the Abby-Alice-Devon combo in particular being cool. It's why I was surprised by Alice dropping this, I'd have expected it more from Liam or the guest.
Yeah, fair enough. This also reminds me of Zizek, he was on a Chapo episode a while back shilling his new book, and simultaneously praising Luis Arce and shitting on China and Venezuela, two countries which Bolivia under MAS is pretty friendly with.
Same thing with loudly supporting East Germany; yeah it sounds edgy and cool bc of all the narratives about it being a Stasi police state, but it doesn't hit the same as, say, upholding the DPRK or China which are being similarly propagandized, but in the modern day
Was mostly thinking of TF where any mention of China automatically gets 'state capitalism' slotted in afterwards and was explicitly called reactionary in a recent episode.
TF is still a. very funny and b. very good at analysing (for someone finance illiterate like me) the nature of the economy in the west and why and how it produces the morbidities we are seeing.
The TF crew's use of Soviet aesthetics is exactly that. It's safe because it's dead and gone. They've always been terrible on AES.

Cuba and Venezuela are non-threatening.
It's like the leftists who proclaim support for Vietnam and denounce China despite Vietnam being arguably more revisionist.

Not listened to KJB, but good on Devon.

They're just still western leftists.

I see. I’ve only listened to wtyp and they’ve said some stuff that seemed supportive of mao so I kinda hoped they were better on it. Oh well.
