Ole Hanson Hate club assemble!! Norwegians, you owe me an apology 😡

[fixit]

Dusya is actually the reincarnation of Karl Marx himself, in the body of a cat. Dusya is the least reactionary. We should all follow in Dusya's footsteps.

I live in Seattle. I had no idea about the would be Bolshevik Revolution of Seattle. I learn so much from your channel.

[vittyy_]

wake up world new lady izdihar video just dropped

[issameiamario]

5(+?) different fits and they all go hard. Long live chairwoman Izdihar and the drip of the working class.

[revolutionarytht]

So glad we've been blessed with another banger Izdihar video 🙏

Also like, "I'm not strong at theory" *proceeds to explain a great way to productively engage with theory that a lot of people on the internet seem to be totally unaware of* lol if only everyone was this "not strong" at theory

What if the real reactionaries were the friends we made along the way.

4:10 “step one is reading the text!”

I’ve found that when you encounter a reactionary who wants to tell you how “stupid Marxism is, ” you find that none of them have even gotten to step one. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever met a right wing person who has read any political theory before in my life.

Step one is REALLY IMPORTANT if you want to debate an idea! Why are we the only ones that get to step one!?!

[noahgreczkowski]

Keep up the amazing work! I’d love to hear more inspirational stories about the people of the USSR!

[venusasadyke]

i’m new to all of this, so some of your points fly over my head a little bit — but this video is really well made and engaging. even as someone who doesn’t understand a lot of what you’re saying, it gives me motivation to learn ! also your style is so awesome :OOO

I'm so sorry for the hate you face. It's clear you have good heart and is working hard to share revolutionary knowledge to help people think critically and have a better understanding of Socialism/Communism. But there are immature individuals who want to spread hate, blindly criticize and hurt to feel superior. I love despite that you continue to create good content and inspire us!

[elonmusksellssnakeoil]

Mao is actually a great place to begin reading theory because he was writing in a straightforward manner for the largely illiterate peasant population, so it had to be simple to read and easy to comprehend.

[victoroigres]

Nice video! Your job is so important, we need more references to a revolutionary thinking in internet

[rubyredlotus]

I love your version of the Little Red Book! 😍I have one that has a really awful preamble about how bad Mao is lol

[BoogsterSugar]

Comrade Izdihar, I want to tell that, after googling "All Reactionaries are Paper Tigers" and going to images to find some visuals, I ended up finding a picture of you in the seventh row! Congratulations for your presence comrade, it is of great inspiration!

Interesting that Seattle and Washington State were considered politically “Soviet” at one point as I’ve always thought of Seattle as being aesthetically similar in certain ways to many Soviet cities. Trolleybuses, Lenin statue, modernist buildings, etc.

[dmman]

Legitimacy is ultimately in the mind.

When I think of reactionaries, I think of Charles X of France, who sought to bring back many pre-1789 elements of the French Monarchy well after the French Revolution. He sought nostalgia for old systems.

[coyoteblue]

Im enjoying the video, in terms of the content you are relaying, but I'm taking a second here to just say *your wardrobe is so on point it's fucking insane.*

[comradetiedanski]

It's surreal seeing a vintage propaganda poster in 1967 still using traditional text despite the first rollout of the simplified Chinese text was in 1955, It's also published by the what appears to be Shanghai Fudan University Revolutionary Rebel Corps(上海复旦革命造反总队), the Cultural Revolution was initially a students movement but a decentralised movement at that as they can be very dogmatic even among themselves who is from another school or universities which can at time either end up in a brawl or drive by shootings.
