    Would Karl Marx Envy Contrapoints?

    Yeah. Fuck you. I read it, you read it.

      He probably wouldn't do that unless I guess he was secretly trans I guess. I can't imagine any reason Marx would envy a mildly popular social democratic actress, and I'm not watching even 1 of the 30 minutes in that video to find out

        I have no idea who this youtuber is or where they fall ideologically, but the soyface-to-communism ratio in their thumbnails makes me instantly dismiss them as some kind of judas goat.

          I saw like 2 minutes of one video where they were like "I didn't get invited to AOC's breadtuber stream but even I did get invited I wouldn't go because it's secretly soft power to convince people to vote Biden" and they were so fucking annoying I never watched another one

        It’s just clickbait to shit on Contrapoint’s new envy video and explain why Marxism isn’t about envy

      The part about Helmut Schoeck is genuinely revealing about Contra's politics. Didn't know she was just slightly rephrasing anti-democratic, anti-communist, and anti-egalitarian writings and laundering it to her audience. It's scary how effective pinkwashing reactionary politics is.
