How I went from Nationalist to Marxist

Consider supporting me on Patreon if you enjoy my content as it would allow me to dedicate more time to producing such, and better quality videos.

This video is dedicated to explaining my political journey and thought process from being a semi-conservative nationalist to becoming a progressive Marxist. Simultaneously, I explain the reasons why I changed the channel name from "Serbian Mapping" to "Balkan Odyssey".

How I went from a Serb to a Yugoslav...

[Morso]

Okay even though I am a Conservative I will still keep watching to see if you can change my mind because I really need some variation in the political content I watch

[deptusmechanikus]

Reminds me of an old joke I heard once:
_One guy was a hardcore libertarian and proponent of the free market who one day decided to "know thy enemy" as the saying goes. So he read Marx's Capital. By the end of his reading he was neither libertarian nor supporter of market economy_

When Yugopnick recommended you, I was surprised. I said to myself ''Huh? This guy's videos are so biased, I can't even watch some of them...'' But now I understand that I was mostly watching your older videos. I am happy than anyone can grow so much intellectually, even in such a relatively short period of time!

P.S. By the way, contrary to what the location of my channel denotes, am not Albanian, I am of mixed Russian/Ukrainian origin (I speak Russian fluently and I understand Ukrainian, Belarussian, Polish and, to a lesser extent, Bulgarian and Czech). In fact, I don't care about nationalities at all... We are all just people and our languages and cultures are just things that make us feel something warm inside. They are tools of communication and entertainment, and should never be used as tools of hatred propaganda.

I am a student from Estonia, 23 years old. In the course of the past year I went from being almost apolitical to being a quite radical leftist, so I can relate to this video. For me, the incentive to become interested in politics was the start of the war in Ukraine. The war shocked me, but also encouraged to become more curious about why are things how they are. Ironically, the war has become a catalyst that infuenced my views on subjects that are seemingly unrelated to it, like capitalism, consumerism, individualism, business, employment, and private property.

Welcome to the movement comrade. We grow.

I will continue to watch your channel, though I am not a communist I see the value in seeing different perspectives and thats partly why I watch your channel. I hope that even with your chosen ideology, you will keep your mind open when it comes to history and events you cover.

Huge props to you man. I love seeing you grow and being willing to change. I don't necessarily fully agree with your new political stance, but I'm glad you're changing and learning.

[vladturcan]

As a fellow citizen from the balkan peninsula, which has went throughout practically the same political journey as you did, I am truly glad and inspired that people from the same background as me are speaking out on these type of topics

Never knew a Serb who wasn’t a nationalist

[justinwest]

Always encouraging to hear the story of someone moving away from the online right. These stories also serve to remind us how vulnerable people can be, especially when young and angry, to those types of beliefs when they see or experience the effects of a societal problem or injustice, but don't know the true causes or solutions.

Recently discovered your channel due to your work with Yugopnik. I'm glad to have access to a Marxist view of the Balkans and Yugoslav war. Keep up the amazing work comrade!

This is such a cool development. As the saying goes: "Those who can unite the Balkans, can unite the world."
