"stalin this stalin that" the guy died in the 50s while their favorite "socialist" country is a white cracker country that exploits the global south and does eugenics.

    I never take anything Esha says at face value. She's entirely too motivated to caricature her opponents to care about anything else than the spiciest rhetoric. It takes more than a few steps to go from "I don't know enough yet to really argue with people about it" to "explicitly arguing a hitlerian point" on your podcast. The podcast, for its part, has never discussed Stalin at any length. Probably the most significant thing the podcast has is a long series discussing each part of State and Revolution with digressions to discuss the Paris Commune and revolution of 1848. I'm not even particularly a fan of the podcast or Jamie, but this is just a gross exaggeration.

      You say Esha is bad, others say she is good.

      I don’t know what to think.

        I didn't say she's bad, she just has a sustained tendency to get into kind of ridiculous fights. I like when she posts excerpts from texts and primary sources, because I can actually read those myself.

            I don't keep up with him, so maybe?

              His videos are also well researched and stuff, but he is also an insufferable person who constantly gets into needless shitfights online.

        Esha isn't malicious, but she suffers from that syndrome people get when being genuinely correct most of the time transitions into combating people at the slightest difference of opinion.
