Disclosure: I haven’t watched much of his stuff. I know some of it is cringe, but I’ve seen some interviews recently where he was explicitly criticizing capitalism. Is he worth looking into?

      I think one big difference is that, for instance, AOC promises that there is concrete action within the system that can solve the problems inherent to that system. It makes it harder to radicalise people to look beyond the system.

      For people like this guy, while they don’t offer the solutions, they do point to the system as a whole as the problem, which then lets us step in and say, “yup, and this is why it’s the system as a whole, and why we can’t use that system’s rules to subvert it.” Which will then help us to radicalise people into looking for solutions beyond the system itself.
