I’ve been a hard Euroskeptic since my national conservative days - which I still am even as a communist.

I’ve found new reasons to dislike the European Union moving to the left so as to how the Western left supports them is baffling imo.

      I watched a bit of Infared and was hoping for something useful maybe, but his gay bashing, debate skills that made me think that he was parodying the confrontational pointlessness of internet debates online (mostly just puffing up his chest and screaming), also he seemed really interested in getting everyone that is Marxist to read Heidiger. I stopped caring after realizing that he was not parodying internet debate and really wanted everyone to subscribe to him and gain a large fanbase. I found it interesting that he supported China alot and worked with Chinese Nationalists. Later on I heard about him opposing starbucks unionising because they don’t look like his superficial image of that the working class looks like. He’s also insistent on being unreasonable and calling it “dialectical”. He has an hour long video on why nobody should need to define what they are saying. Contrary to Haz’s kind of logic, ethnic and sexual minorities are workers and have no material reason to oppose the greater goals of greater unionization. At best Infared is just engaging in cultural tailism to theoretically move them towards socialism. His advice for praxis is reading heidiger, winging about how “woke” everything is, and subscribing to him rather than do any actual praxis to advance the goals of socialism. Functionally, I can’t tell the difference between him and Nazis. He could be an FBI agent to confuse domestic americans about what socialism is. He could be on the side of the chinese nationalists to get funding to overthrow the cpc. I don’t think that they have a definable theoretical framework other than vibes of masculinity.

      I just don’t want there to be a constant obsession about social issues while completely negating the whole point of socialism which is economic planning, economics. The majority of wokists have no idea of economic planning or how it works other than surface level basics. How are you suppose to build a house when you don’t know how to build one? I’m sick to death of the left being obsessed and fixated on social issues that the whole point of socialism has been forgotten and lost. But it doesn’t matter anyway because i’ve completely given up we are at the stage that people don’t even know what material balance planning is.
