The only good thing Keffals has done was help take down Kiwi Farms.
Most of the “left-wing” streamers, like Hasan and Vaush, are just liberals, which have never been ideologically friendly to Marxist-Leninists. As Lenin said, unity between Marxists, not with the distorters of Marxism.
That makes it even worse. It means he knows what he is doing and yet still chooses to peddle liberal propaganda to his considerable audience.
I think he isn’t the most consistent person when it comes to global politics(russia/china most notably), but it really comes off like he has a ongoing effort to funnel young leftists/liberals/socdems into the ML pipeline. For example, he watches stuff like Second Thought on stream and even went on the deprogram recently. Uses ML terminology whenever appropriate, etc.
That said while not perfect, he IS in the “debate verse” or “reactlord” sections of twitch. unlike Vaush, Keffals, other “leftists” he actively puts China, AES, and THEM TANKIES in a good/neutral light. And anecdotally I have seen members of his community eventually start getting into MLism through that (such as myself). But he will occasionally say/do shit that upsets me as a ML, still I’d recommend him over many others to any liberal friends as a Primer into more Leftist/Marxist content.
I do have to admit I’m curious about the ex-ML schtick she has going on. She was apparently a member of the Canadian Communist Party.
She’s a grifter through and through. When she was in the CPCanada, she promoted her YouTube channel as a potential educational resource for baby leftists.
As soon as she started getting more traction from Twitter, she slowly dropped the whole “socialist educational channel” aspect.
When she got massively boosted by reactionaries, she dropped the whole “I’m a socialist!” shtick completely, proudly defending the cops and reactionaries, and proclaiming that she’s “reformed” and hates “authoritarian socialism” now.
TL;DR: Keffals’ ideology is whatever brings in the most money for her at any given moment.
She left because her boyfriend got really drunk in cuba, had to be hospitalised and she saw a nurse smoking on hospital premises and later on one of the more senior members of her party said that Cuba has laws against smoking in such places, and her big brain realised that everything the evil tankies say is in fact a lie. This is, no joke, the story she has told.
