In this video, we will do just that. We will look at Keynesian Liberalism and Social Democracy, Neoliberalism, The Chile Project and how decades of milquetoast neoliberalism gave way to the rise of Trump.

Ethan seems to have trouble envisioning a world where socialism doesn’t lead to disaster, so in this video, we’ll give him a few examples of socialist projects that not only worked but also improved the quality of life for many people. We’ll briefly discuss past socialist projects like the USSR, China, and Cuba, touching on why some authoritarian tendencies emerged in them. We’ll also shed light on under-appreciated democratic socialist projects like those of Salvador Allende in Chile and Evo Morales in Bolivia.

Aside from this being a sloppy observation, we rarely examine how capitalism, by its very design, necessitates dictatorship to protect profits and create new markets. This video will do just that.

This video will cover how the capitalist West overthrew Mosaddegh in Iran, Goulart in Brazil, and Lumumba in Congo, all to ensure a conducive environment for Western business.

Through debt, rich western interests exercise power and influence over developing nations. This system of neocolonialism through debt closely mirrors the original systems of colonialism. IMF and World Bank "Structural Adjustment Programs" impose conditions onto developing countries that are not conducive for growth or prosperity. Instead, these conditions only serve Western interests. Unequal exchange takes place with impunity.

Paired with legal analysis, this report highlights individual attacks on Gazan Palestinians, systematic attacks, and the horrid language used against them by Israeli authorities and settlers. The report concludes that Israel does in fact, hold genocidal intent therefore, the Israeli state is guilty of the crime of crimes.

This video is strictly to raise awareness for the Palestinian plight and to provide an educational, historical and legal analysis of the situation.

We often hear about the horrors of past "communist" societies (real or exaggerated), but we are rarely taught of the atrocities committed by supposed liberal democracies. This video is not about liberals in the way North Americans think of them- in opposition to conservatives- but instead, this video refers to nominally liberal democracies and how they have historically partnered with authoritarians to destroy left-wing/socialist/communist movements around the world.

Many fans of Donald Trump have resorted to calling him "anti-war" and claiming that since he started "no new wars," he was a good president. Seemingly forgetting that neither Biden nor Obama did. In this video, we will go over how Donald Trump ramped up the American war machine, threatened war with Mexico, increased drone strikes, made terrible foreign policy decisions, and overall made the world less peaceful.

Musk initially branded himself as a “free speech warrior” when he purchased Twitter, promising to end censorship on the platform. However, over time, he has contradicted many of these stated goals. From approving most government censorship requests and censoring words he personally dislikes (such as "cis") to potentially interfering with the 2024 U.S. presidential election (as he has done in Turkey and India), Musk’s actions reveal a stark hypocrisy. This is Elon Musk’s commitment to “free speech” on full display. Elon Musk is PRO-CENSORSHIP.

The fact that Donald Trump's brand of far-right populism beat the liberal centrism of Kamala Harris and the Democrats is not surprising. The far right has been growing in popularity all over the world. From figures like Giorgia Meloni and Marine Le Pen in Europe to Trump in the US, liberal centrism can't hold it off. Our only hope now is a left-wing populist movement to combat the rise of the far-right.

As tensions remain high in the Middle East, prepare to hear the phrase "only democracy in the region" regarding Israel's presence. Israel's attack on Lebanon has left nearly a million people displaced. Their continued bombardment of Gaza now boasts a death toll of over 41,000 people. In this video, we will challenge the narrative that Israel values the concept and principles of democracy. Topics range from the democratic shortcomings of Israel and other purported democracies to the June 1967 War, to the democratic model of Rojava (AANES).

Although past nominally communist despots acted with cruelty and disregard for life, I believe that those deaths are unrelated to the concept of socialism or communism. On the other hand, Capitalism has killed dozens of millions of people, yet you never hear anything about it. In fact, capitalism still kills millions annually. In this video, I will debunk "The Black Book of Communism" and use its logic to criticize capitalism. If you've ever wondered: "How many people does capitalism kill?", then look no further.

This video is for analytic and educational purposes.

Other topics in this video include imperialism, colonialism, British imperial rule, the Bengal famine, Patrice Lumumba & the exploitation of the Congo (DRC), Suharto's Indonesia, Augusto Pinochet, The Radium Girls, and more!

A shockingly common misconception about World War Two and Hitler's Nazi Regime is that they were left-wing or socialists. This comes from the fact that Nazi is an abbreviation for "National Socialist." In this video, we will debunk this claim, highlight contradictory statements made by Hitler himself, bring attention to the mass privatization campaigns done by his regime and more.
