Yes this is about Contra, but the fact she literally only considered US citizens in her analysis is telling. Like not a single argument about foreign policy, or concern about people 30 centimetres over the border occurred to her.

And all the Dem Socialist reply guys are arguing against her on her terms. Like fucking hell, are you Internationalists or not? Fuck how large the US left is, you're fighting for the Whole Left! I understand revolt in the Imperial core is both important and difficult, but jfc!

I'm afraid I'm going third-worldist here (for values of third world that include, like, Germany and Spain.)

    I don't understand why someone with real thorough knowledge of Marx from here doesn't make videos.

      Because making cogent, coherent, and interesting long form video essays is a significantly different skill than dunking on people in a microscopic internet forum.

        Nah I've definitely seen a few of you go off on some Marxist rants that if expanded upon could make a decent say, fifteen minute long video.

            Just do one of those situations where you talk over some image like Shaun's skull.

      Because advocating for armed revolution gets you thrown off Youtube at best and imprisoned for terrorism at worst.
