Mine are Hakim, overzealots, spooky scary socialist, wow_mao, and probably others that I don’t remember right now
I don’t think this counts as a question? But it’s more of a discussion, hope this counts as one
Hakim
The Ziofriendly guy?
I enjoy listening to Resistance is Fertile Podcast. It’s where I eventually ended up after outgrowing my initial interests. It helps that they’re a bit closer to home so I can like actually support in more meaningful ways.
This is what I would recommend, try to find the closest “Radio Station” to your location and see if you can learn from them and participate, because we’re going to win. Yeah I know
Unfortunately, I live in Iran, and there isn’t much encouragement or agreement of socialism or communism over there, especially because of the PMOI terror which has traumatized alot of us, now it’s either ultraconservatives or theologists that think the theology government is important, or the opposition that make up with different ideologies (except socialism and communism, tho social democrats do exist, one of the opposed party is called the “national front”, not to be confused with the far-right one in UK), I’ll see what I can do, nevertheless, thanks for your local podcast advice!
Eh, I’m sure there’s some good people out there but I’ve been turned off political YouTubers because they always find some way of disappointing you.
But there’s lots of good suggestions here I guess, take your pick from those lists.
Luna Oi is a Vietnamese communist party member, she also co-authors some translations of Marxist textbooks from Vietnamese curriculum that she’s helping translate into English and are available for free online. She also participates in an all-female/female-adjacent podcast called Half The Sky.
A bit less “YouTube” and more into the podcast area, but ProlesPod is awesome, it’s on YouTube, and the “Stalin Eras” series is the best content I’ve listened to.
some of you were wayyy too interested in hasans dong being displayed at that republican meeting
Let a girl enjoy a muscular hunk
Some of us still are
Don’t shame me for enjoying a nice himbo
George of Patmos, Boy Boy. I’ve watched some Hakim and Second Thought as well.
Anyone have any alternatives to Lily Orchard? I like her blunt attitude and hearing her speak about conservatives with actual contempt and not as if they’re big mean bullies we have to begrudgingly be nice to.
…but I found some…not so good lore about her so I need an alternative person to watch when I want someone to angrily speak of fascists like the scum they are.
But to answer the question myself: Adam Conover, Innuendo Studios, and modern DarkMatter2525 are my lib choices and Hasan, NonCompete, Thought Slime, Hakim, Yugopnik, Second Thought and Luna Oi are my commie picks
Lily Orchard is a name I haven’t heard in a long time
Honestly feels kinda rude to call somebody you respect a breadtuber at this point.
Yeah breadtube died a while back, and even beyond that it was never a useful term.
Revolutionaryth0t is cool . They are non-binary
They have a recent all-female/female adjacent podcast called Half the Sky, with Luna Oi (awesome Vietnamese commie), Rae from ProlesPod, and a few other girlies I don’t know.
Came here to say this as well. Lady Izdihar is also good.
Lady Izdihar is a weird af, there was a short vid of her basically talking about how she’s interested in gore and the macabre and went on to talk how the genocide in Gaza has given her some conflicting feelings
Haven’t watched since because wtf
That’s fucking wild and I am gonna need a source for that. Never have I got bad vibes from her.
You mean this? Idk if it embeds I’ve never linked anything on Hexbear
That just sounds like her saying “what does this do to our emotional calibration” meanwhile a bunch of ACP people are dogpiling the replies.
So you just got past the ‘I like to consume gore content’ okay that’s cool too carry on
not making an account on the hellsite for this unfortunately
You can find an alternative, there are sites that allow you to look at the contents of links without having a Twitter account like Nitter/XCancel, I provided you the link, my end of the deal is fulfilled pretty much
nah i get it, didn’t ask for an alternative for a reason. nitter and xcancel are gone though, RIP
On this line: Hakim, Hasan Piker, Luna Oi, Second Thought, Yugopnik, Lady Izdihar, Revolutionary Thot, Boyboy + Ididathing… All of those socialist YouTubers seem to orbit the same ideas and views on socialism, with all of them being appreciative of past and present Actually Existing Socialism.
Is there a similar “bubble” for anarchism? Because either I don’t get it recommended because I’m a socialist and I’m not exposed to it, or anarchists haven’t been able to organize such a sphere
The anarchism bubble is definitely smaller, but check out Andrewism (his stuff literally doesn’t miss), Anark, AnRel, Alki, Prince Shakur, idk. I’m still a bit new to it.
I’ve encountered Anark before, never heard of the others. Are they as cohesive as the socialist sphere is?
Depends what you mean by cohesive, like as a group their content varies a lot in style, but I feel like anarchism tends to be pretty open minded between different trains of thought (as long as it’s not “an-cap” or I’ve noticed primitivism is controversial as well). Andrewism is a no-adjective anarchist, but he focuses a lot on solarpunk.
I meant cohesive as a community of creators, I guess I don’t care so much ideologically
Luna Oi’s husband runs an anarchist-theory youtube channel, can’t remember the name
I am at the point where most I feel like most socialists on youtube are high on their own supply.
Any content creator who’s been a socialist for a while yet says “please support me, your subscriptions are what keep this show going” gives grifter vibes. Unless you have really high production values and frequent uploads, you can be a content creator as a hobby.
Trying to live off the elective financial support of tens of thousands of people in your audience is antithetical to a revolutionary horizon. At some point, you have to be offering people something substantial instead of begging for something substantial.
Boy_boy and ididathing
Not seen Bes D. Marx, Red Pen and TheFinnishBolshevik mentioned here yet, so yeah those guys too
A lesser known creator that I like is Leaping Larry. He’s an indigenous (Mikmaq) man living in Canada. He smokes weed and reads Juche books from DPRK.
That’s fire wtf. Thanks for the recommendation.
Edit: he also plays super mario and zelda on a seperate channel‽ he’s perfect.
he also streams on twitch https://m.twitch.tv/leaping_larry/home and is responsible for this masterpiece https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0S55Ux6PABQ
dunno what happened to his twitch group, “tank tube” though. it had madeline pendleton https://m.twitch.tv/madelinependleton/home and some smaller channels
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Rohan Davis, he lives in India and goes into Hindu fascism, casteism, colonization, the protests in India, and anti Indian racism.
Florian (Florida Florian) talks about anti romani sentiment and interesting things about Romani history and culture
Ly Luan Marxist ASMR does theory asmr
Prairiefire does amazing anti imperialist video essays, very underrated, him and Rohan are my biggest recs
Other than Ly Luan im not sure if any of the explicitly call themself communists or socialists but Prariefire has a 3 and a half hour video on why Korea should be one country so I have a feeling
