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.)
For all the talk of internationalist perspectives ITT, I haven’t seen anyone even sort of reference the basis of our proletarian internationalism.
“The working men have no country,” and we’re internationalist because we are part of an international working class, simple as that.
An internationalist perspective is more than just being woke about imperialism—you actually have to ground yourself in some sort of material, class analysis.
As for Contrapoints, honestly who gives a fuck. Why so many posts today arguing about youtube people? The overwhelming majority of people around you do not have, and will never have, any idea who Vaush or Contrapoints are. From an internationalist perspective there’s plenty going on in the world right now—Nigeria is about to explode, there are massive protests in Thailand that look to be spreading across borders, big protests in Haiti.
I think we need an answer to Contrapoints and Vaush and Some More News instead of just bitching about them.
They are keeping penitential internationalists from developing. Micheal Brooks used to prevent that. It's so fucked that he's gone.
Where are our charismatic hardliners?
No one seems to have any fucking edge on Breadtube unless it's to punch left.
Brace Belden but he doesn't seem like he'd do any YouTube content.
Hear, Hear.
I know they aren't specifically taking shots at Vaush/Contra, but Thought Slime and Non-Compete do a good job of being actual breadtubers
I want a messy bitch that isn't afraid to get in the mud.
Black Red Guard takes some good shots, but again, doesn't really call out others.
