      It's a nice house yeah, but it's just a house, and his extended family lives in it.

      But yeah being a socialist means not having a house. Kulaks were Kulaks because they had homes, not because they were petty agricultural capitalists who acted against the revolution. Real theory hours.

      Despite that, saying Hasan is a First Worldist is insane, regardless of whatever your house opinion of him is. He's been consistently supportive of struggles in the global south, and critical of imperial ventures.

              This is such an aesthetics focused, vibe based, reach of a criticism lol. The North Hollywood-Long Beach bourgeois housing line. He'd have the same money regardless of where he bought his house, and he'd have earned in the exact same way.

              His material relationship to how he generates that money is what matters. He's not a capitalist. He's not even a petite bourgeois. The exact location of his zip code isn't a defining ideological marker.
