Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

Paul is ultraleft. His analysis is dogshit because he doesn't accept that China is a marxist-leninist state pursuing communism.

It's really fucking easy to take the position of opposing Russia if you think communists have absolutely no territory in all the world besides Cuba.

When you hold this position your analysis is essentially free of all risk, you just oppose everything, EVERYWHERE. You don't have to worry about the consequences of Russia losing to nato and how that might cause a bunch of nato bases on China's northern border which will lead to the eventual collapse of China through ops coming at them from every fucking side.

Yes Russia is capitalist. Yes Russia is not a friend. Yes Russia is bad. But China is the hope of communism in the world today and it will fall if Russia falls because it will not benefit from the policy of wait and see that the west previously performed when the soviet union was overthrown.

You come up with two completely different strategic ideas about the situation depending on whether you think China is communist and therefore communism has something to lose, or whether you think it's not and we have absolutely nothing anywhere in the world therefore nothing to lose in fighting class war on all fronts.

I stopped taking Paul Morrin seriously when he did the usual MLM spiel of calling Cuba a Soviet sugar colony.
