    Yes, you should read Marx and watching a twitch stream is not a substitute for reading Marx. But also Marx's books are not a substitute for a twitch stream that promotes Marxism. They don't have the same promotional capacity. No person is going to accidentally decide read Das Capital in the same way that they would click on a twitch stream. Twitch streamers who promote Marxism are good and they are not telling you not to read Marx.

    Anything that promotes Marxism is good. I have seen plenty of streamers who talk about Marxism or Anarchism on stream and I don't remember any of them saying "don't read theory".

        That is what I am saying. This post is implying that promoters of Marxism on twitch are feds.

        Bro what are you talking about just because we're in a giant drought doesn't mean you're feeling the rain right now.

        Also it's warm rain because it's like 120 degrees and by lawn is spontaneously combusting.

        There are plenty of people on twitch who promote Marxism and encourage reading theory. Central_Committee regularly tells his viewers to read theory. Another example is LivAgar, she regularly talks about theory on stream and tells her viewers to read theory.

            That he's implying that twitch streams which promote Marxism are bad just because they are on twitch. Even in the title, he's saying that old PBS shows from his childhood are superior to what kids like to watch now. It's near boomer posting.

            I think people should read Marx. I also think twitch streamers that promote Marxism are good too.

              he’s saying that old PBS shows from his childhood are superior to what kids like to watch now

              Call me a boomer but PBS had some great shows.

                Reading Rainbow was by far one of my favorites, and I wish something like that still existed. Maybe someone could make a leftist version for youtube/meanstv/whatever else?
