    well its good until he said marx didnt properly take social democratic tendencies in account. he definitely did lol. also its very long winded its way easier to shorten this especially to a twitch audience. just call billionaires vampires they cant physically work for a billion dollars it would take them a millennia to do that in any menial job and the fact that exists while millions are starving is a moral failing of the global capitalist system and therefore it must be destroyed. simple

    also he talked about dengists not understanding that china isnt a transitional socialist state but instead its a transitional social democracy... thats what dengists are accutely aware of lmao. they think in order for society to develop it must go through a tightly controlled capitalist stage in order to force capitalists to become interdependent on socialist countries, making fucking with them untenable. so yes, this would look like a social democracy. with xi jinping however, he is a hardliner and very far left in comparison to his predecessors in his actions and is determined to exceed the goals set by mao and deng. im not a sycophant for China, theres plenty of room for critical support, but I truly believe the good outways the bad significantly.

    40 minutes to watch a 1 minute 40 second video. My word people. I get it, you dont actually want to read Marx but this is just torturing yourself.

    It's weird that this format works for so many people. But alright, he's getting people into leftist theory so I'm not going to complain.
