      Depends on your definition. He's called himself a fan of Marx.

        For me it's does he engage in praxis? From that, is performing for 12 hours each day from a marxist lens praxis?

        He literally was on stream talking about Marxism and explaining why he is a revisionist Marxist, also theres a pic of him reading Mao's little red book.

        He is 1000% doing entryism.

          Let me know when he has a legitimately bad take. Otherwise, this is just arbitrary gatekeeping.

          also theres a pic of him reading Mao’s little red book

          glances at the most successful socialist government - nah, government period - in history

          Is that a problem?

      meh I think most people who understand communism (stateless classless society) are communists. He's not a tankie, no.

    man it's incredible seeing these comments

    you can be a socialist without giving up all possessions and moving to rojava while making a vow of abstinence until capitalism is extinguished

    The Chapo stream was fucking atrocious. What was up with the audio levels? Was no one watching the chat? It was 50% people asking them to turn up the debate. I had to turn it off and watch the cspan stream.

      That's every chapo stream, it's amazing considering how successful the pod is.

        Yeah it's insane that they've been completely unable to transfer any success --- also they promised a Menaker/Christman cooking show and I'm still waiting.

      Chapos seriously need to ditch twitch for these sorts of livestreams, or at least simulcast on YouTube which is a lot more stable.

        Legit all they needed was to tweak a dial on the volume mixer and everything would have been fine. Argh!

          yeah the equalization was shit. Also someone's mic the whole stream picked up some major white noise/some random sounds. I had to turn it off after 20mins cause i couldn't hear both the debate and whoever was talking sometimes on the stream.

      seriously how is Hasan capable of setting up a perfectly balanced stream but Chapo who has a dedicated producer has yet to make a watchable multi person stream yet?

        Likely because he made a serious attempt and wasn't just - literally in Mr. Texas's case - phoning it in.

      He's a bit more than a socdem imo. I'd say he's solidly an anti-capitalist at least.

      I think it's a classic example of power-level hiding. I do think he believes in socdem but ultimately believes communism is the way, but as a big name on a platform like Twitch can't really say stuff because he doesn't want to give them a reason to deplatform him, I could be wrong tho
