A video explaining modern monetary theory and how with a little Marxism it can benefit everyone.
The fact that the video isn’t posted on his own channel is likely just because the video isn’t a Second Thought video, which has a very specific format. Why should he post it there?
Yes their podcast is called “The Deprogram” and you can check it out here. They all make great content, go check them out! I really liked Yugopnik’s video about the commodification of people’s romantic lives for example. It was very interesting and thought provoking, a very “Žižekian” approach.
Dude is giving iffy vibes for a while now. Watch a few videos of his and a clear pattern emerges:
Every negative aspect of the modern world is reframed as an intentional conspiracy of capitalism.
A fantastical version is sold for the socialism of Nordic countries, and all ground realities and challenges are conveniently ignored.
Uncomfortable leeway is given to past communism crimes, because the evil capitalist sabotaged them.
A vision of the world is sold where away from capitalism, somehow all inherent human evils will vanish, and we all will act like Captain Picard for some reason.
It’s a perfectly fine channel to counter PragerU garbage, but don’t take anything he says without a sack full of salt.
I disagree with your characterizations, especially about Nordic states. There was an entire episode criticizing the shortcomings of the Nordic model.
Most of the criticisms of capital are simply explanations of books that have gained attention and acclaim, and none conflates systemic criticism with conspiratorial intention.
Wow this is horrible. I only recently started watching his content and liking it. But this is surprising, also why is this on some other channel?
To hide it. He is also on a podcast with Yugopnik and Hakim, both of which are tankies.
I think it is fine that the channels are separate.
I am happy to receive the general leftist education on ST without bothering with any ML.

He likes to act like a well meaning leftist, which he isn’t.
That is your opinion. I like their content, they’re thought provoking and entertaining. I don’t agree with everything they claim but it’s good stuff.
