    I am not saying he is a malicious actor; it could be that, or just a genuine failure on his part to understand. An Opportunist can also mean those who sacrifice long-term gains or principles to gain short-term gains, an example would be Bernstein. In a sense, impatient. It should not even be an argument at this point. Hasan has said it multiple times that he believes that the Proletariat (in the United States) is incapable of real revolutionary political struggle; he instead pushes for the incremental approach to ‘transforming’ (somehow) the Democratic Party internally to serve as a vehicle for socialist implementation. Somehow, instead of educating, exposing to the proletariat what Socialism really is; he wants to conflate it with simply “Plowing the roads”, “running the trains”; as if people themselves cannot understand their class interest inherently lol. I apologize if I seem mad, it’s just crazy to think there is still an argument when he himself will admit revisionist tendencies- and openly too.

    Just spend your time going over theory, organizing, anything better than this. You [we] can’t transform this dude, anymore than we can transform- I don’t know- AOC. He flat-out contradicts Leninism a lot of the time, and when pushed on it; will spew some rhetoric or get angry (at the chatter). He’s a streamer, just let him stream but give up on the idealism that he will shift towards Marxism-Leninism. I swear he has gotten worse, especially with all the Platner bullshit (again, another ardent democrat).

    He is an Opportunist who streams daily on Twitch, who unironically shills heavily for the Democratic Party and Social-Democrats. If you take a moment to actually watch him, and when he actually does goes over theory or reasoning, it is very easy to tell he has no idea what he is talking about. To me, he exudes massive amounts of Bernsteinism (in regards to his defeatist apathy for the Statesian proletariat, unironically leads himself to thinking that voting for the Democratic Party is the most positive/“harm reductive” action- literally incrementally trying to apply socialism).

    *sorry for rant.

    Yeah, it used to be the biggest subreddit on the website, with tons of ‘Jailbait’ material posted daily. The mods were powermods of numerous other subreddits- including that Maxwell account. It got taken down eventually, but only after years of it having topped Reddit’s charts. It was a big fiasco back then.



  • You also have to observe the audience’s class orientation. I say this, having failed and realized the futility of trying to agitate to my Petite-Bourgeois & Labor Aristocratic family. It can be possible to successfully agitate non-Proletarians, but their class interest and conditions push them towards reactionary or conservative views- such as my family.



  • ‘Enslaved’ as if Capitalism doesn’t chain you to a precarious job you can’t leave since there’s absolutely no guarantee of a job, don’t make enough to rent without having roommates, (shit-ass) food prices keeps rising, and don’t make enough to be able to afford treatment for an elder. " Enslaved " because you can’t vote one time every four years for a pre-approved Bourgeois politician. Lol. Another classic Liberal “What are we? A bunch of ASIANS???” moment.





  • Saw some post on Leftypol that was railing against Marxism-Leninism and ‘Authoritarian Socialism’, praising Libertarian Socialist movements- and included, as examples, Rojava and Zaptistas as successful movements (even saying they were much more successful than the Soviet Union, China, etc). Though I give the Zaptistas slightly more credit than the Rojava. Wonder how they feel now, lol. If I find it again, I’ll screenshot it and edit it onto my post, it was bizarre.
