Does anyone have any good Marxist YouTube channels that focus on European topics? A lot of good marxist channels focus on US topics and while that’s not a bad thing, I would like a channel that discusses European topics.
A lot of points in the US focussed YouTube channels are good, but I can’t always bring them up in conversation with Europeans because they have a socdem mentality of ‘yeah, but we’re better than the US bro’
I’d also be interested in this. In terms of modern events, the closest I’ve found is Breakthrough News (they definitely focus on Amerika, but they have some good content related to Europe)
Marxist Paul (Ireland) , Yugopnik (Balkans), The Kavernacle (UK) (not Marxist but leftist/anti-capitalist, talks about social events in the west including Europe), those are three I watch, Yugopnik is my favorite, he’s my beautiful bean.
(Beware that Marxist Paul is a Maoist who thinks China is imperialist)
That was a HUGE curveball for me when I first started watching him lmao. All of his vids are like “what is Dialectics?101” or like “Who was John Connolly?” So I was like Oh hell yea he mentioned ICA and Starry Plough! Respect. And I was confused about Maoists and Imperialism at the time so I saw his vid and also his vid on Russian “Imperialism” in 2022 and I didn’t buy it. He has some great vids and some that I disagree with
The Russia Imperialism video was just bad, he got so emotional and I felt bad thinking it was so trash
True!! Paul is not good 100% of the time, but like 70-75% of his stuff tends to be great.
the finnish bolshevik
regarding him, it’s worth mentioning this section of @dessalines’s GitHub repo (last item at the time of writing)
Jesus Christ, what the fuck was that?
