"the symbol for communism is oudated...btw its absurd to say millennial socialism is reactionary" bruh I've come across hundreds of disgustingly useless VarnVlog NPC face podcasts. PMC might be technically workers, but its clear their class position is the position of the gamerchair indoor worker who is privileged enough to not need to open up a single book on science to learn how to feed their comrades.

those one or two ostensibly Marxian materialist communist podcasts are PMC anti-communists:

The only socialist agriculture pod I know is Poor Proles Almanac who are apparently Bookchin redditors, the exact class of woke libertarian who insists Marxism is "outdated" and that we need to instead google some utopian urban planning neoliberal. Hilarious to hear them parrot anti-USSR CIA/nazi propaganda like Enemy at the Gates or whatever, right after PMC virtue signalling about "indigenous sovereignty". So apparently nazis doing settler capitalist genocide in Russia is good, but these redditors aren't demons because they heroically protect the private property rights of the genocided natives after their enslavement? lmao

I cannot name a single leftist manufacturing pod, except maybe Well There's Your Problem, who are also anti-communist PMC anarchists/engineers (Justin hasn't done historical materialism since his youtuber days?)

Very weird and surprising to see a complete lack of materialist scholarship! Especially considering I'm always hearing workers IRL talk about their struggle. That's why Marxists consider the proletariat to be the most progressive class, workers are excited to be learning and applying about materialism each and everyday.

I am always overhearing them always talking about new innovations that can enrich their lives, I have never heard a gamerchair socialist talk about stuff like new sustainable HVAC technology or new types of fabric that can keep people cool under the looming global warming holocaust or whatever. The only thing a gamerchair will do is cry about how "hopeless" and "doomed" they are because their anti-communist wannabee bourgeois individualism (aka neoliberalism) leads to nihilism and despair. Exactly what Lenin described when he critiqued leftists with Malthusian bourgeois ideology who have no skin in the game to do revolutionary struggle for the next generation:
