Kinda impressive tbh as irrelevant as this is, mandarin's pretty hard to learn as a second language
At least she's wearing gloves!
"Human nature" is formed by societal norms, which are in turn formed by the present mode of production and thus material reality. Humans aren't racist by nature lmfao, such a dumb right wing assertion.
Simply put, materialism — as opposed to idealism — is the idea that everything we do and experience as a society (our history, culture, politics, etc) is shaped by the material reality around us, rather than ideas.
"Material analysis" in this case therefore means analysing politics and history through this lens. And it's a fundamental component of socialism/marxism.

Yogthos is insulting liberals because liberalism is an idealist ideology that always eventually gives way to fascism when a capitalist state is (inevitably) in decay.
Would be hilarious if they weren't told what kind of video the sponsor section would be in. Doubt any of Hakim's viewers will click on that.
This. If you actually want positive change, go out and join a socialist org to take direct action. In capitalist states — specially imperial core ones — elections are just an ad campaign that won't bring any positive change for workers on its own.
Elections will, however, gradually shift to the far-right as long as liberals/capitalists are in power (see: overton window).
Typical liberal rejecting any shift to the left in favour of fascists.
It's great that the LFI managed to come this far even within a liberal framework, but real change has only ever come from organizing and applying pressure from outside the capitalist system to overthrow it. This should be a signal to french comrades to start organizing for that.
Yeah I can really see why you get that alot
