Quinton Reviews and The Jimquisition coming out as communists was a large part of the reason I decided to make the jump from vague progressive to outright socialist. I literally had no idea until the reveal, and was a pleasant surprise when it dropped. Two of my favorite channels who had provided weeks of entertainment were not only not fascist, but were literally the opposite. Woah. Would I have made the jump earlier had I know about it earlier? Maybe? Either way, I think there needs to be more room for people with socialist values who don't make it their brand. Sometimes not subconsciously loading videos with fascist propaganda is enough to sway minds.
That being said, hiding anticapitalist/prosocialist messaging in plain sight is praxis, even when it's done (usually by accident) by liberals. I'm also pretty sure Jerma is some form of anarchist.
So did I. Then he just one day does a random video of just him in his house. Then the camera pans down and he pulls up the literal communist manifesto. Spends the rest of the video talking about his political views.
EDIT: actually it might have been Das Kapitol or Kropotkin. I can't remember exactly, but it was one of those overtly and popularly communist books. The video is long-gone now, so I can't confirm.

Wait, Quinton Reviews is a comrade? That's cool as hell, I always just assumed he was a lib without checking.
