Hakim is my favorite YouTuber right now, I've learned so much from him these past few weeks.

Very informative discussion! Hakim is such a chad, he’s literally on duty as a doctor and then just slips in to lay out the facts about capitalism and imperialism. I love it!

I thought you guys have been doing work together for forever and im just stunned lol. You guys will have to do another conversation!

[georgekostaras]

Hey I just wanted to say that as a Canadian, these videos and your channels have been hugely educational to me

I'd love if you also could analyse in future discussions the concept of "social imperialism", that is so important both historically (in the alleged case of the USSR) and in the present discussions inside the left (in the alleged case of the PRC). What is it? Why and how it develops? Is it something inherently tied to the development of socialism, or can it be avoided? If so, how? Does it applied/apply to the aforementioned cases? Why or why not?

Always a pleasure to listen to both of you, I believe you both are the most nuanced and friendly content creators in the Marxist YouTube community.

Azure has a soothing asmr voice, even Hakim agrees 👍 😂

Hakim is amazing for providing first hand accounts and proof on why capitalism is absolutely abhorrent.

I'm too left out to be part of the revolution. I think depression has overtaken me, I'm single with no friends circle and clinging onto a job disinterestedly as it could be. Recently I became more than involved in a revolutionary party but today I think what little spirit I had also died, I missed a critical meeting today. I'm done with life. One thing I just wanna say to you guys is that it's quite hard to get rid off Market Capitalism which has evolved into Crony Capitalism as of I'm too pessimist...

[Dhumm]

Very interesting discussion. Looking forward to part two.

A very calming voice for a very upsetting topic. Hakim is right. Hakim is also right in the fact that Arabic men call each other habibi. Far from what the west has portrayed it, Arabic culture is a refined and gentle one. Thanks for a great, thought-provoking conversation gentlemen!

[AbudaamHD]

Sorry this might be an unrelated question but how did you get Hakim’s and your picture to light up when either one of you are speaking? Did you manually edit it that way or did you use some sort of software?

It’s funny that Hakim claims to shitpost, but unless he has deleted something his shittiest shitpost is better and more informative than literally anything released by a Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, or Prager U.

Happy to see you making videos again! Six months ago It was you that turned me to socialism with your explanatory videos.
Long live the REVOLUTION!

"What should leftists do when faced with a choice between social democracy and stopping imperialism"
Well, the way I got pushed out of social democracy as an American was realizing the people of the US had pitiful access to productive jobs or businesses that wouldn't treat them like shit. I realized that the rhetoric about "The Welfare State!!" was a little bit true for entirely the wrong reasons - people often just want a tolerable job they could do with whatever disability they might have that allows them to participate in society and have some degree of control over an industry they care about, while being given a teeny welfare payment that's not enough _and_ having no say in the decisions made about the goods and services you use could be very insulting.

I would question the Social Democrat policies for whether they actually allow a whole lot more people the opportunity to enter some impenetrable "The Industry" created by a bunch of capitalists, have a productive job that treats them well, and make a real difference in that industry, in order to earn more money "fairly" for contributing to society.
If a lot of people will stay unemployed or with no chance to change "The Industry" for a bunch of different fields, the policy is bad and inadequate.
If somebody doesn't understand that idea for another country, you take it back to their own and ask them if the policy is helping nobody at all.
