    patsocs are just reinventing labor Zionism but with American characteristics.

    Edit: also this is a fundamental part of their identity, every one of their public faces you see is objectively an out of touch bigot who more closely caucas with open Strasserites and nazbols than they do with any workplace.

    Edit 2: as far as I’m concerned, any accusation they make against any communist party in America is projection

      Unfortunately I don’t think this guy is just an online weirdo. He goes on RT. He goes on Chinese TV. He goes to Trump rallies and interviews people. His political tendencies are Larouchite and these quasi-communist reactionaries have existed in American politics for decades. He’s a symptom of a larger problem, which is reactionary encirclement and distortion of revolutionary talking points.

        We should especially heed this part. We should always remember that Fascist ideologues like Mussolini and Sorel used revolutionary sounding language to push for reinforcement of the capitalist power structure under the aegis of a militarized nation state.

          and it’s especially interesting that Mussolini was revealed to be on the payroll of British Intelligence during his rise to power. So Italian fascism seems to have been a deliberate British “psy op” to kill Italian Socialism in its cradle. Fascism at its core was bankrolled by Anglo-American capitalists and government officials until they needed to do an about face and “save the world” from the monster they had created by assisting the USSR.

        Yup. The USA has been so right wing and propagandized in recent decades that people like him weren’t even necessary, but I would expect more of this as neoliberalism breaks down.

      In the American context, Adam “Haz” Tahir is more like a neo-Laroucheite

      Here’s a good overview of that from RevLeftRadio and Donald Parkinson, who btw namedrops Adam “Haz” Tahir when talking about these kinds of cults: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NhVKmHN1i4

      Although he is more of a neo-larouchite, he has ideological overlap with nazbols in that he has interviewed and praised Dugin, one of the cofounders along with Limonov of the National Bolshevik Party (Nazbols) who were a subculture movement in Russia after the collapse of the USSR. They called themselves a party but nothing really ever came of them politically. I don’t know much about them. Their flag incorporated nazi aesthetics (the red field and white circle of the third reich flag, with the black swastika replaced by a hammer and sickle) but I’ve been told on some occasions it was just edgelord counter-cultural punk rock shock jock stuff. I don’t believe that, but I’m not going to go too in depth because I’m not Russian and haven’t done extensive research on them.

      Anyway Haz is also always pushing for people to read Heidegger, an unrepentant nazi philosopher, as being “essential” to understanding Marx. Whenever Heidegger’s nazi affiliations are brought up he claims they are “irrelevant” (somehow) to his philosophy.

        I’d go with classifying him as a neo-larouchite as you stated. It fits more with the American context that his reactionary thinking is rooted in.

        Anybody who throws their lot in with Dugin should be at least warned and avoided if they are unable to be saved. I watched a series of videos by Derick Varn where he goes through Dugin’s writings to critique them and he points out Dugin explicitly states that he wants to recruit leftists to his 4th positionist movement. We should especially be wary of these folks trying to get their foot in the door by inserting themselves into any discussions that are had on the left about what a multipolar world would mean for the future. It seems like that’s the angle they try to hook leftists at the moment.

        Heidegger is always a big red flag to me.

          4th positionist

            It’s the aversion that Russian nationalism has to the aesthetics of historical Fascism. They can’t be seen to be siding with the people who tried to bring settler-led genocide to Russia.

            No playlist but, I’ll make a list of links in the reply. They’re quite long given Varn’s digressions (something I nonetheless appreciate). He goes through Fourth Political Theory line by line in these. It will take a long time to listen through them.

                I wish he made some sort of condensed outline for this stuff. I’d imagine he’d have experience with that sort of teaching, given that he teaches high school.

                I think he tries to be fair about the Chinese, he’s given some legitimate criticisms of some of the deficiencies they’ve had in domestic policy over the years and how the current leadership trying to rectify that. He’s doesn’t speak of it as something revolutionary though, describing Xi’s rural investment policies as the Great Society coming to China.

                He’s speaks positively about the Cubans as well.

                I also think it’s good that he reminds us to not be so pie in the sky about the developing multipolar geopolitical situation. Anything could come of it, depending on what we make of it. I appreciate his commentary on that.

    My first exposure to this dipshit was when YT randomly recommended me his speech “Occupied States of America”. I thought reading the title of the speech, “Oh, is this gonna be about how the United States is built on stolen land seized by broken and coercive treaties?”, but then I listened to the speech for a while and I realized, “Yeah, this guy is just a confident orator who does not know a damn thing about what he’s talking about, fuck’im”

    Shouldn’t this be easy enough to dispel? I know the guy is a complete idiot but it sounds like he’s completely fabricating Marxist-Leninist theory. “culture is something qualitative and determinate” lol which theorist said this? Gramsci’s main body of work was about how this wasn’t the case. Engels wrote entire books about how family structures get fabricated.

      They’d probably say something mind-numbing like engels was a woke liberal satanist and Gramsci was a loser <insert ableist slur here>.

      Their theatrical performance of an ideology fundamentally adopts the strategy of weaving inconsistencies into fabric sheets of bullshit in the style that embodies the logic of fascism.

    I’m very unfamiliar with the patsoc thing because I don’t have the time for this shit—I’m only vaguely aware who these people are—and I never knew Haz was this bad.

        I don’t really care about that (tbh it annoys me when people tell me “it’s not worth poisoning your brain over,” etc.), I just take him and his ilk so un-seriously that I don’t care.

    I’ve seen several posts about this loser recently. I thought he was basically discredited years ago?

    Just statistically, there are people with some seriously odd beliefs. These can be amplified easily online. Not to get into conspiracy territory, but I wouldn’t be surprised if algorithms push him and other ‘MAGA communists’ because a) libs can point to him and pretend horseshoe theory is real b) this is basically identical to Nazism

      I think capital inaugurates, consciously or not, right deviationist quasi-socialists like “natsocs”, “patsocs”, “magacommunists”, and “nazbols”, in order to divide and conquer the rising, organizing proletariat. They want to give the working class an identity crisis and start questioning whether socialism is objectively, inherently, permanently chauvinist or not when it comes to superstructural issues. Netanyahu took a similar but not quite related to socialism “divide and conquer” rhetorical tact last week when he told Congress “Gays for Gaza is like Chickens for KFC” and the right wing press applauded this, as if they or Netanyahu has ever cared about gay people.

    I do want a “Do what you will shall be the whole of the law”, “anything goes” culture actually. I’m for my fellow freaks and fruits, and indeed extremely against heteronormative society as I could not exist within its confines. The sort of framework heteronormative society imposes and the attendant expectations of such a structure, notably, represent a major control vector for rightward forces. In bucking those mechanisms, I jettison a way they could exert influence over me. If any of these guys have a problem with that, I cordially invite them to lick my sweaty asshole.

    I’m not enough of a dumbass to go vouching for an environment where I and the only people I get along with couldn’t exist, anyhow.

    Also I like how he points out that “They have a flag” as if it’s of any significance, when anyone can make a flag for any reason. Shit, fictitious countries from books, movies, and games have flags. Shops sometimes advertise sales with types of flags.
