This is the most horrendous misunderstanding, deliberate twisting of words, and just plain fucking stupid video I’ve ever seen. It’s so wrong in so many fucking places, genuinely impossible for me to stop watching. Let me know what you think
for some reason this came up on my YouTube recommended
lmao holy shit, tons of comments like this there, though they are also getting roasted, i guess you were not only lefty who got this shit recommended
It’s so funny how they throw in brain areas to sound smart lmao. That’s not how it works dude…
it’s TIK, of course it’s going to be completely unhinged reactionary idiocy.
dude started his youtube career by carefully reading troop dispositions and casualty figures from real historical works on ww2.
he then pivoted to “nazis were left wing actually” and then just kept doubling down.
I didn’t know this guy existed, this is the first I’m hearing of him
But there was seriously the dumbest shit ever said in that video. Dialectical materialism apparently was “created by Marx” to progress humanity towards our true self, God. He took Hegels idea of the absolute idea and like twisted it into being the exact same thing as Marxism and then somehow made Stalin sound like he was advocating for us to go BACK to primitive communism… like there was just so much misunderstanding (or deliberate lying, more likely)
(or deliberate lying, more likely)
He basically repeated the old ‘mud pies’ meme in response to the labor theory of value… in a video that selectively quoted from Capital. He is definitely lying, because anybody who has read the very first chapter of Capital would understand that not everything can become valuable simply by putting effort into it. That is not the labour theory of value.
LMFAO all of his sources, listed In the description, are by James Lindsey

Youtube routinely pushes nazi shit into their recommendations. It’s just part of their long-standing trend of platforming the right while suppressing the left. The only reason they let “breadtube” content gets to stay around is because 90% of them are liberals and the long-form essays they put out make them a LOT of money. Socialist youtubers still get repressed to shit in the algorithm.
Had Sancho [Stirner] understood the fact that within the framework of definite modes of production , which, of course, are not dependent on the will, alien practical forces, which are independent not only of isolated individuals but even of all of them together, always come to stand above people — then he could be fairly indifferent as to whether this fact is preserved in the religious form or distorted in the fancy of the egoist, above whom everything is placed in imagination, in such a way that he places nothing above himself. Sancho would then have descended from the realm of speculation into the realm of reality, from what people fancy to what they actually are, from what they imagine to how they act and are bound to act in definite circumstances. What seems to him a product of thought , he would have understood to be a product of life . He would not then have arrived at the absurdity worthy of him — of explaining the division between personal and general interests by saying that people imagine this division also in a religious way and seem to themselves to be such and such, which is, however, only another word for “imagining”. – KM, The German Ideology
These arguments take material relations and equate them to ideas. As usual it doesn’t matter what nonsense you believe, as long as you don’t believe in communism. As such, the argument that one could equate a material relation with an idea is itself an idealistic, practically religious conceptualization. Basically, Pretending material relations are just ideas. The critiques he makes would be more appropriately turned on his own “religious” idealism.
There’s no criticism that Marx didn’t anticipate, if these sophists bothered to read they would know that instead of trotting out the same tired old lies for the last 150+ years. Its sad.
