Only a 6 minute video and he managed to fit in:

  • Chavez and Maduro betraying the revolution and not building socialism,
  • Maduro outlawing “the actual communists”,
  • Venezuela supposedly never took any serious steps to diversify its economy from oil,
  • Russian and Chinese imperialism,
  • Some big bourgeoisie are “puppets of China and Russia”,
  • Russian imperialism in Ukraine,
  • China debt-trapping Venezuela.

His conclusion: “we should not advocate for return of Maduro to power”.

He also managed to confuse the separate events of the US striking the fishing boats and the US pirating the oil tankers arriving at “these boats were supposedly transporting drugs while many were in reality obviously oil tankers going to Cuba” as if he didn’t pay any attention before and did some last-minute research before making the video.

    Insane how one of the better leftist YouTubers just went hasan mode. I had watched him for like 10+ years. Anyways sadly its the norm in euroleft circles.

      I think he’s less Hasan and more black redguard/onedime. He’s not going “ohh we don’t like Maduro cause otherwise liberals will dismiss us.” Hes just a Maoist.

        Yep, I find bringing up Hasan Here quite weird. Not to make it a Hasan struggle session, but I’m pretty sure he has the more correct position on every single of the points.

      Sadly true. Probably exacerbated by the fact that it’s Finland… Even the communists in Finland can’t fully escape the liberal brainworms.
