Moved this here because I watched the rest of the video and he gets shitty at the end.

How do we get people like Norm to stop being credulous about flawed science and fucking bigotry.

His larger point with the video is more interesting but it gets lost in anti-trans shit at the end

  • He is, of course, not Marxist so I wouldn’t expect him to think this. But it is disappointing to see that this mistake can allow/lead to such hateful and incorrect positions.

    I thought he was a former Marxist Leninist Maoist?

    • I should say, I’m not super familiar with his history or how he currently calls himself but his positions and analyses are markedly not Marxist. Maybe he was at some point or called himself Marxist, but he’s not now acting as a Marxist. He’s still often useful and giving good information, details, and arguments though. But a distinct filter needs to be used for applying his work to the world as a Marxist
