I got death threats and was followed daily when I was a party leader in my small town’s attempted communist party. The US has a very hostile culture towards Communists, you can lose your job simply for implying that communism isn’t terrible (I personally know people who’ve been a victim of it), you can lose your job for even just mentioning unions (also know people who’ve been victim to it, plus I work in an industry that union busts). We can potentially be imprisoned for “terrorism” by being loudly Communist at the wrong times. The FBI’s murdered our leadership, too. Bayarea’s literally just protecting his identity… ya know, so he can live like a human being under this totalitarian system we’re forced to exist in.
Literally every non-ML in this country will talk about MLs like we’re terrorists already. Bayarea hasn’t changed that perception whatsoever. He’s been a net positive for the left, simply by getting our viewpoints and dialectically materialist facts in front of a larger audience than anyone on Lemmygrad could ever hope to do.
This is one of those cases where if you disagree with him or his methods, that’s cool, you’re free to critique. but if your critique is about him concealing his identity, please just shut the fuck up.

He also actively silences communist parties that don’t toll the IdPol line, Caleb Maupin and InfraRed though. All mention of them is banned from subs he mods so it’s not just a case of criticising his methods.
He actively pushes out communists that don’t dress like terrorists out of the movement (communists much more heavily based in theory than himself)
Also I do have to laugh at the reaction to this when I found out today that he was doxxed as a lawyer that evicted families.
But to be fair, that should be expected from a dengist that thinks markets are achtually the proles friends and that China has perfected Marxism.
With all due respect, his “content” was telling proles that “actually markets are their friends” and that China had perfected Marxism
Now, given the cold war against China I’m not particularly against China getting popular amongst Dengoids or the youth in the West. But the guy was involved in deplatforming Communist parties as well as Maupin and Haz from subs he owned because of IdPol.
I would have nothing but positive vibes to the guy if he A) wasn’t a complete prick and B) wasn’t evicting families in his dayjob as a corporate lawyer and C) organised in deplatforming actual decent Marxists (the Dengism notwithstanding) that dressed respectably and didn’t look like terrorists
As far as I know, he has not made any blanket statements to the effect of “markets are your friends” or that “China has perfected Marxism”. He has talked about Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, which is specifically Marxism Leninism as it applies to the material conditions of China, and involves the controlled use of markets in order to develop China’s economy quickly enough to survive. Unless he has changed his tune significantly since I last watched him, he has not claimed that Socialism with Chinese Characteristics was applicable everywhere.
As for the other stuff, I honestly don’t know anything about that. Can you provide links to information on that so that I can properly understand the claims being made and the evidence provided?
On what? To make communists look fkn ridiculous and like cowardly ninjas?
I’m sure he’s a nice person. His content was very good.
But he objectively did way more harm than good and those determined to find out his identity have long already done so

Also hilarious he unironically he posted this.
He did say that he didn’t help in evicting families though of course it is near impossible to find out whether it is the truth or not.
I don’t believe so. His content’s popularity was growing fast.
