I saw this new video of BadEmpanada on Bangladesh. As someone from India, I cringed so hard:

  • According to BadEmpanada, it is a revolution of the proletariat 🤡. The students protest, which was marked by the death of a young man, shot by a copper pig, turned into a violent riot, which was then conveniently hijacked by the populist military switching sides, just to commit a coup.

  • And then they finally install a interim puppet of the US. Yep, that microfinance Nobel laureate guy, Mohammad Yunus, who is responsible for a disastrous loan system that has caused farmers and small business owners to common suicide in droves in South Asia.

  • For software engineers out here, Narayan Murthy, the capitalist chuckle-fuck running a IT sweatshop, and father-in-law of Rishi Sunak, endorses this guy. Villains looking out for each other, amirite?

  • Haseena's claim that the US wanted to set their air base on St Martin’s Island to dominate the Bay of Bengal seems to make a lot of sense, given USA's anti-Chinese policies. I mean, the US is know for backing color revolution.

  • the leftists in Bangladesh have been very, very weak, probably after seeing the failures of Jyoti Basu in West Bengal, and have never secured a significant amount of seats. The Awami League, despite being centrist, was a majority party that prevented the descent of the mad fascist Bangladesh Nationalist Party, who are allied with the extremist Jamaat-e-Islami, a religious expansionist group. But not, there's no one stopping them to win the next election.

BadEmpanada also removed several comment which called him out for his ignorance on South Asia. I should've taken a screenshot, because it was so well-written.

Edit: yup, he is deleting comments, lmao. Another thread gone to dust, because he could not answer.

His work on Che is good, his stances on Israel are essentially perfect, his Columbus videos are not particularly Marxist but are good, his video on Fujimori is a great resource for a subject most english speaking leftists are utterly clueless on same goes for his Shining Path video. It is silly to treat his work as always generic western libshit. That would just be ignoring reality in the service of a clear narrative. We are better than that
