  • Ya this video was 90% good. As other people have commented, he did lib “but Stalin totalitarian tho”, but most of his points were spot on. Even I learned a bit.

    I checked out other videos in his channel and I was very disappointed.

    I have to say, I admire Grover Furr for being just so damn obsessed with debunking claims against Stalin. He’s me, but better, and with a tenure. I’ve wasted hundreds of hours of my life editing bs on Wikipedia that I’ll never get back.













  • I agree with most of what you’re saying. I think that “online communism” can be a good starting point for people, as it was for me. But as one develops, there’s less and less that can be learned from videos and online forums.

    No disrespect to any streamer, but even the ones I respect (The Deprogram, Richard Wolfe, or Democracy Comes Home), I hardly watch them because I don’t feel like I’m learning anything. But I am grateful for where they brought me.

    I guess online communities are good for an alternative community. I keep Hexbear as it keeps me from proprietary social media. But I don’t have much hopes for it beyond entertainment and a few small good things it has. I think the second that the Fediverse becomes dangerous to capital, they’ll find a way to shut us down.

    People start getting followings of fans that will defend them just because they like them.

    Ya it’s super sad. I recommend staying clear of all that drama, if possible.
