I love this point because it highlights how many well-off and privileged US Americans really think. To the bourgeoisie and labor aristocrats in the imperial core, “socialism doesn’t work” because socialist countries never achieved the levels of consumer consumption that the US did before collapsing. So they “failed”. But when you highlight how socialism dramatically improved the lives of the poor in the countries it was tried in, they just brush it off as inconsequential. Because the labor aristocrats and bourgeoisie simply do not care about improving the lives of the most oppressed. It is a completely meaningless achievement to them. To many, I’m sure they see it as a bad thing given so much of their identity is wrapped up in thinking they are better than “the poors” and material reality should reflect that.

ohh wow, i saw this video earlier about myths regarding the Soviet union and was considering making a post about it. They look to be the same guys that made the excellent World War I and II content on youtube but I’m having doubts if they really are and are just stealing their style.

Isnt it obvious to you that the video is utter garbage when ,while making a video about “Top Myths about the USSR”, of all the dozens of mainstream negative myths and misunderstandings in the west this video choses stuff like “The Myth of the USSR not having corruption” and “The myth of the USSR being a workers paradise”…Stuff that not even 0.01% of the population believes about the USSR…Things that NOT EVEN MARXIST LENNINISTS THEMSELVES BELIEVE

Chosing two utopianly postive misconseptions ,that literally no one in the west holds, to debunk for your “top 5 myths about the USSR” video makes this worse than even r/unpopularopinions posts abou communism and anyone in the left that actualy watches this vid thinking its anything other than shitty red scare propaganda should consider reading more stuff from the dude this post we are in is about and not be guillable

They even have “people hated the ussr” as a myth but they give it only 1 minute and their only take on it is “Polls show that they didnt but thats only because of they grew up under commie propaganda and brainwashing”

Absolutely prager U teir video

It is obvious, the “no corruption” strawman is especially heinous.

I mainly wanted to juxtapose this video with Parenti saying pretty much the opposite

Criticism of the Soviet Union from the left are much better, since they don’t rely on propaganda to do the work.

Breadtube if it didn’t suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It’s open submission unless there’s something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it’s currently in.
