      Its fucking Simon Whistler, the guy is a right-wing shithead who is the best example there is of an ignorant person trying to present themselves as an intellectual.

      These are the best parts of the video imo

      • shits on unions but "not all unions" for being too demanding, union bosses are always angry apparently

      • "you want to abolish private property but won't give me one of your cigarettes"

      • "Karl Marx should have gotten a job, he was work-shy"

      • "[Global warming] was worth it because otherwise, we would be riding around on smelly horses getting polio." (direct quote)

      • Literally advertises his sponsor twice the cucked bastard, (it's a financial news/advice app. LOL)

      • "Ah yes the good old days when we could just throw out a crazy socialist (in reference to Karl Marx being deported from various countries)"

      • "Its beginning to sound a bit like authoritarianism isn't it guys? (In response to the manifesto's call to nationalise key sectors of the economy)"

      • "I live in the Czech republic which had lots of nationalisation and private property was banned and it is still a mess to this day. (Literally been capitalist for 30 years now, get over it)"

      • Talks about property disputes in which people try to figure out who owned shit before the communists seized it and how its a big problem. Boo hoo poor capitalists :(

      • "If a communist government came and took over my house and shit I would be mighty pissed off. They would be like yeah we are actually putting a good loyal communist person in the house in which you earned the money for and paid for. I would leave so fast, I would just leave."
        :sicko-yes:

      • "Lenin didn't get to sit on the throne of power for very long and died of natural causes in 1924, and nobody was sad." LMAO

      • "Lenin warned the party about Stalin, after he died Stalin took over and consolidated power. If you are looking for a good movie recommendation, check out the Death of Stalin."

      • "Its not fair to judge communism on the dictatorship of Stalin largely because Stalin was completely off his fucking trolley."

      • "He got around the problem of running a painfully divided state by killing everyone who disagreed with him. During the Great Purge he killed around 300,000 army members and 1 million civilians including children. (First I have heard of children being killed in the great purge)"

      • "I would definitely have been executed. If the communists take over and see this video they will be like 'quickly, kill him and all his family'.(JFC this guy yearns to be oppressed)"

      • "Maybe the would keep me around, maybe they would be like "that's guys not bad a presenting videos! Lets get him to make videos praising communism" and I'll be like "your not going to kill me" "No we're not" "You gonna pay me?" They'll be like "no" "Alright I'll do it just don't kill me and my family." (In a past life this guy was a Gusano, there is no way someone wants to make themselves look oppressed by communism this badly)

      • Claims the 1933 famine caused 7-14million deaths when the academic consensus is 3 million (because of course, this guy would pick the highest acceptable number)

      • "And fuck you 20th century iPhone commies. Get Real. Bitches." ... Did he mean 21st century?

      • "Marx left out this part in the manifesto and Stalin filled in the blanks"

      I think you get the point. I cant take any more of this bullshit

        Lenin warned the party about Stalin, after he died Stalin took over and consolidated power.

        Lol ignoring the fact that it was his trotskyite wife that submitted "Lenin's Will" to the Supreme Soviet to undermine Stalin's candidacy, Stalin didn't "take over" he was elected to the position by the Supreme Soviet and even offered to to share the position as a co-chair with Trotsky.

        If that's "taking over" then western elections are Roman imperial sucessions with Praetorian Interference.

        i do think that simon whistler only acts as a figurehead for a lot of these channels. badempanada did a video on one of the channels he's on. i do agree that whistler is a grifter fuck who is complicit in spreading propaganda and certainly agrees with most of the shit he's paid to peddle. i'm almost certain that there are people behind the scenes writing the shit he reads tho

    OK so I actually made it 3 minutes in at 2x. I didn't stop because of anticommunism, it's just boring even at 2x. So I failed to even reach the juicy stuff.
