      Just the other day he was defending the Soviet Union and talking about how social democracy sucks because it requires exploitation of the Third World. He has some lib takes for sure but overall Hasan is good at dragging libs left.

        social democracy sucks because it requires exploitation of the Third World

        The way we practice it absolutely, but I still feel like this is a take that libs won't get.

        You can't condemn social democracy then run/advocate a platform that's weak social democracy.

    That’s awesome. Between Hasan and some chacha libs he has a good chance at radicalization.

    Call him a lib, call him a socdem, whatever. The most important thing about Hassan is that he isn’t an anti-communist. Somewhere else in this thread I saw someone say he was talking about how the Soviet Union was good, which is what we fucking need. At the very minimum, he’s far better than most breadtube tier shitheads solely due to the fact that he doesn’t spend all day shit talking socialism.

      Boring, don't see the appeal. Ppl can like what they want, but I'll miss that easy. That's fine.

    Hasan is literally a Marxist and he talks about Marxism and communism quite a bit on his streams. He also has pretty radical takes on Prisons. You should not write him off

    edit: He also hates the troops and thinks they are all criminals which for Americans is quite radical

    Do people expect others to go from chud to full-tilt ML in one fell swoop?

    There's no easy way to debunk a lifetime of propaganda in a short period of time.

    Chances are I'll be called a lib for this, but the lib to left pipeline is a net positive for our goals. John Oliver is shit, but he's converted some chuds I know to being libs, which is a mild improvement. Vaush is shit, but he's convinced some libs to be socdems. If you catch your libby friends saying that they like hasan's content, don't discourage them from watching it...be ready to give them their next baby step.

    Most of these creators have shit views, but we need a pipeline just like the fash have. Class consciousness won't just appear by calling everyone a lib. Put the fucking work in. It's the absolute least you can do.
