Also, in the replies somone says that wearing a cowboy hat makes you a conservative. Lady, when communism comes to America, that will be the American version of the ushanka.
Good. I dont care what left space or group that guy belongs too. She shouldnt be going around making "im on your side, lets vooot for more people like me in the dems" speaches in "socialist" audiences without once getting any pushback or getting questioned for her worthless and hypocritical foreign policy stances
Yeah, as bad as any of these leftist social media personalities may be, none of them have elected positions of power and none of them are voting using that elected power to support imperialism and genocide.
As shitty as Maupin, Haz or :funny-clown-hammer: are, they do not have real power, AOC does have power yet uses it to support imperialism, like for fucks sake she hasn't said a fucking word in opposition to Biden robbing the starving people of Afghanistan. She absolutely deserves as bad or a worse reputation on the left than any of these dogshit streamer personalities.
that guy is from Maupins cult lol
their hearts are in the right place though, they're just very cringe
edit: holy shit the cowbay hat guy :cringe: castillo wore a cowboy hat, so did shitloads of Latin American progressives
Yeah that group is cringe but the callout was correct and good since ,you know, no one of the "socialists" there raised any question about AOC's toothless cringe foreign policy stances and she could just go on doing dsa appearences without being once confronted for here shitty positions
they have an entire party in russia
ofc they're actually just nazis with hammer & sickle instead of swastikas and always mistake "being anti-capitalist" with "being a very mild socdem at best", but they tend to be very serious about the "national" part
a facade that's paper thin and often actively misleading. the fascist critique of capitalism is always incomplete, individualist and devoid of a scientific, materialist explanation. for example, the og nazis made a distinction between schaffendes and raffendes Kapital (creating vs. greedy / rapacious capital) - this does not only blame all of capitalism's shortcomings on the jews. it also distracts people from the fact that all value is created by labor - that there cannot be a creating capital, but that capitalists always need to parasitize on the working class and steal their labor to create something. in national socialism, this parasitic nature is projected entirely on the jew, duping workers into allying with the cronies of the party who gleefully enjoyed both the expropriated jewish assets the party gave them and the slave labor that was provided to them later on.
nazbols simply do more of this kind of ingenuous and misleading lip service to faux anticapitalism. but there is no substantial difference between them and other nazis, this is correct. it's a gradual difference in rhethorics.
some weird communist who gets lumped in with Haz and all the other cringe beefsteak people
he has some pretty garbage ass takes on a few issues (bordering on revisionism sometimes) but he knows a ton about US communist history
I don't really think the Nazbol tag suits him, unless he's changed a lot in like the last year. He actually does read theory unlike Haz but you can tell he is from a very small town, he is a bit old fashioned and he has a lot of weird spats with like Vaush and Breadtubers
Maupin may or may not be a NazBol, but he did hold a public conference with the guy who founded the actual Russian NazBol party.
No idea who or what a beefsteak is but Haz is just some bargain bin "patriotic socialist" reactionary streamer guy who keeps doing and saying dumb bullshit while his fans harrass people.
Kinda just a :funny-clown-hammer: clone except he also posts shirtless photos and says that his critics are unfuckable and not as hot as him and thats why they are jealous and hate him. Also infamous for literally not knowing how a vagina works when asked about it on stream.
Haz is some weird cult leader larping as a communist, and is the one who started the PatSoc thing. Beefsteak IIRC is an old term for unironic RedFash, like socialists and communists who joined the Nazi Party lmao
Nah he's a nazbol. He's went to nazbol conferences and wrote a nazbol book.
Lmao at all the "socialists" in that dsa crowd booing him instantly.
Someone in the comments saying they're worried she's Obama 2.0.
Spoiler alert: Yea she is.
