    Support for chasers and sex-pests like Vaush is pretty awful, not to mentions his awful politics and constant butchering of Marxist theory for an audience that usually can’t tell the difference.

    Theory is important. Much of my list is newer, some is older when it holds up, some is newer when it meaningfully adds to the discussion. However, as someone who had your approach, reading theory directly genuinely is much faster than rolling the dice.

    I have audiobooks linked as well that people can listen to if they prefer, and importantly they won’t be distorted by a sex-pest who complains about Marxists constantly while misrepresenting them.

      I am pretty familiar with Vaush’s arguments on Marxist theory. What are your points of contention?

        The vast majority of them, to be honest. He has no grasp of Dialectical and Historical Materialism, has no knowledge of AES, and horrendously distorts Lenin.

        He’s a liberal that cosplays an Anarchist and pretends to have beyond a Wikipedia understanding of Marxism.

        That’s, of course, ignoring that he’s a chaser, pedophile, sex offender.

          Can you list a specific example? I think he has a good understanding of this.
