As I near 200,000 followers here at fishingboatproceeds, I just wanted to to say China is one of my favorite countries. Not only that, but communism is amazing. It makes me go a little crazy on it to be honest. Like, I cannot spread it wide enough through the world to be satisfied. I’m only satisfied when I feel those intense, powerful, rhythmic chants of the workers in the streets. When I sit back on my heels, look around at the revolution with warmth in my heart and sweat running across my brow, hair all fucked up and wipe my face with the back of my arm and ask you if I did a good job and you cannot even speak because I’ve drained the means of production out of the parasitic bourgeoisie..... that’s when I’m satisfied.
He is a capitalist who leveraged his early success on YouTube to make edutainment content, launch his career as a novelist, and do charity work, among other things. While the subject is rarely brought up in his content, he is intensely anticommunist. His history videos on the Soviet Union are not great, especially because his series’ are popular among teachers. His worldview is staunchly neoliberal in the sense that he sees the problems of the world accurately, but still prescribes overly technical solutions because fixing capitalism itself is too hard for his personal work to address. He believes himself to be attempting to address climate change while pushing technocratic reform as if it were mass revolution. I enjoy his fiction writing, but I also like YA in general
