Marxists can predict the future to some extent. So what marxist would think investing in property in LA of all places is a good idea. That place is not going to be a good place to live in the future climate change is going to fuck it hard. Never mind that capitalism has already fucked it hard it is already a miserable palce to live if you are poor. It is notorius for the worst of urban planing and sprawl. Like it's hell to anyone with sense.

So like why take out mortgage and invest 3 million into that. I get he is in "showbiz" and needs to be near Hollywood but all that really means is he needs to be close to some of the worst propgandist in the world and schmooze in some of the most bebauched and depraved parties imaginable and what ever else sychophantic psychopathic arse kissing passes for networking over there. All he has done is bound his material intrestest with that of the bourgeosie. Because now he will need to protect his investment and property to keep his family and new wealth.

I don't think people are wrong to point out this it's not envy or jelousy it's seeing pattern repeat and not having the words to describe it becuase they haven't read theory. Dude's material conditions are changing and that changes your outlook and not trusting an ego driven youtuber to stay strong and keep to their morals is perfectly sensible.

IDK maybe some theory nerds can put it into better words or maybe I'm wrong I've only been following this drama on here.

    I'm not a theory genius but to me its just people defending the petit bourg as working class. Most "content creators" hasan's size become a legitimate company with employees and someone would have to be the owner. If that hasn't already happened it is only because he's exploiting free labor (mods, editors, etc).

          What is the upper limit on a the house that a "leftist" is allowed to buy? That's what this ultimately boils down to, so come on, give us the number. What is it?

            I don't know who you're arguing with but I've already said that if he structured his business as a co-op and paid his mods / editors the true value of their labor there would be a lot less people upset at him. Literally nobody is saying "socialism is when you can't buy a house".

            Edit: or alternatively, he could stop pretending to be a socialist, that works too

          So you can't buy house and have your family live with you if you sell yourself as a leftist? Or should he specifically move to and gentrify other areas
