This is like the third or fourth union drive I’ve seen that directly mentions Hasan as a source of inspiration. No matter his faults, he’s the only leftist online “influencer” who it seems has an actual impact.

    Revealing not a single person asked him if he was investing his small hordes of money in developing the productive forces.

      He's regularly mentioned that he doesn't do that. He's mentioned before that his money from twitch streaming just sits in his bank. All of his youtube revenue goes to his youtube editors and his podcasts are cooperatively owned. His merchandise is union made and I don't think he's making any money on that, the union sets the prices.

      The reference to dengism frankly doesn't make any sense. I seriously hope the people of hexbear know that there is a difference between money and capital.

          Yeah I get that it's a joke but I don't think that it's funny when there are many people that I have seen say that he has capital as not a joke. There are plenty of people that accuse Hasan of being a capitalist. I think that's a harmful accusation, considering the good that he's doing. The joke reinforces the misinformation.

        You can convert them into each other, you know. Kinda' how capitalism functions at its basic level.
