"The Defeatist arguments of Stalinism"?
Has this guy like...heard of world war 2? Pretty sure that "Stalinism" was proved really fucking successful by that whole conflict.
Also, regarding Molotov-Ribbentrop: ask a lib what the alternative to a Soviet occupation of eastern Poland was, knowing that Poland, England and France had rejected the preemptive deployment of 1 million soviet soldiers on exchange for a mutual defense agreement, and also failed to join the USSR when it offered to jointly attack Nazi Germany as an alternative to the Munich deals (or Munich betrayal if you're eastern-European).
Knowing that Poland got invaded by Nazis in a matter of two weeks until the collapse of the government: what was the alternative to soviet occupation of Eastern Poland.

Soviet liberation of western and eastern Poland. /jk
Also, the land that the USSR took at that time was not even eastern Poland. It was western Ukraine and Belarus that were occupied by Poland at the time. Notably, liberals are fine with said occupation.
Molotov Ribbentrop pact
is this guy serious
Speaking as someone who has been studying Fascism for years, I can’t say that I have ever found the German–Soviet Pact per se to be especially interesting. I am unhappy about it, but what I find much more disturbing are the relationships that various dictatorships of the bourgeoisie had with Berlin in particular:
Even if I ‘hated’ the Stalin administration (and I do find it disappointing in some respects), I would be far more preoccupied with all of these dictatorships of the bourgeoisie. The only reason to continue overrating the German–Soviet Pact anyway is if you think that it was Moscow’s job to babysit the world. Otherwise, I just don’t get it.
For any of our questioning friends:
It was a non-aggression pact signed to buy time for the USSR to migrate their industry from the border with Poland to deeper in land in the mountains. It was the last non-aggression pact signed with them AFTER every other western nation had already signed one.
It was also only signed after France and the UK refused the USSR's offer of pre-emptively stopping the Nazis from taking Poland. The USSR offered a million troops to pre-emptively invade Germany if France and the UK would agree to it. After France and the UK refused, the non-aggression treaty was signed to buy time, they used this time to create a buffer zone, move all of their industrial factories (concentrated on the border of Poland) into the mountains, and to further industrialise and modernise the army. Moving the factories was critical to the Soviets defeating fascism, had they not have been moved then they would have been taken in the invasion that later occurred.
Here is also an excellent dinner speech from Albert Einstein in which he mentions this pact.
From this post, which is a good read that I highly recommend: https://hexbear.net/post/276014?scrollToComments=false
I show them the Franco-Soviet Treaty of Mutual Assistance and explain that the west walked out on the collective security the Soviets were trying to set up. The alternative to the MR Pact was the Soviet people being used as yet another meatshield by the west for Nazi expansionism.
Obviously the anticommunist libs then (and today) were incredibly disappointed to see that opportunity to let Hitler do their dirty work slip away from them. Instead, Uncle Joe and Molotov turned the tables on those frogs and finally forced the west off their asses to oppose Hitler.
Yeha I agree with this interpretation but choose not to frame it in an adversarial way. Libs have a defensive reaction if you frame the west as intentionally doing something bad, whereas framing it as making a mistake(missing the opportunity to pre-emptively stop Germany) makes them take on board and accept the information.
A lot of my interaction with liberals revolves around the baseline of not tripping a defensive reaction because it makes them mentally shut down and close up. I need them to be open or else they don't take on new information they haven't seen before.
There's also the point that the vast majority of land the Soviet Union "occupied" was land that Poland took after the Polish–Soviet War when Poland invaded the Soviet Union, so if anything, it was the Soviet Union freeing western Ukraine from Polish occupation.
Ask them if Lvov/Lviv/Lwow is a Polish city or a Ukrainian city. The only non-fascist/non-anticommunist reason to object to the non-aggression pact is if they're a Polish revanchist who thinks western Ukraine should be part of Poland. But I suspect the vast majority of Western libs will simultaneously object to the pact but still think that Lviv is a Ukrainian city. How a major city under Polish administration is supposed to somehow transfer over to Ukrainian/Soviet administration is anyone's guess.
Self-proclaimed Ukrainian sovereignty respecters justifying the Polish annexation of Western Ukraine:
Yeah but if you mention this on reddit you get revanchist weirdos show up and create a 30 comments response chain argument point after point. I prefer to leave it out because it just completely prevents their participation in the conversation. If they want to argue, they have to argue about stronger shit that they can't bog down in walls of text nobody wants to read.
Redditors absorb the short sharp arguments better. When stuff devolves into loooooong replyguy comment chains they stop absorbing the information.

Not a really powerful argument knowing that the USSR invaded Baltic countries and Finland too. Not that I think that's bad, ridding those countries of their capitalist governments is something that had to be done, as well as putting some land between the Nazis and the Soviets in the upcoming war (libs try to understand the implication of the Great European Plain in soviet policy in WW2 challenge level: impossible).
To me, the more powerful argument is that all of those countries were too weak to fight the Nazis, so the alternatives to soviet occupation were either collaboration with Nazis or Nazi invasion. I still haven't gotten a meaningful reply to that, other than "Nazis took our lives but Ruzzians took our souls" russophobia nazi-adjacent bullshit.
The difference is said Baltic countries and Finland did not occupy land recently annexed from other nations. I think the point about the Polish territory being occupied is actually really useful because it appeals to the kneejerk sensibilities that make libs defend Ukraine. It can make them question themselves, at least more than not bringing it up.
There is something particularly satisfying about asking "so Vilnius not being part of Poland currently is evil?". The mere fact that Lithuania's modern capital today was under Polish occupation is a stark point to make.
It's surreal seeing videos like this in 2025. This kind of stuff was already old like 10 years ago.
Come to Poland, we have interwar libel books against Lenin continously published anew as hot stuff X.X
Well, sectarians will be sectarians: criticising difficult policy in difficult times without offering anything other than unrealistic alternatives, using exclusively western propaganda as a source.
No joke, I’ve heard “you’d complain about Lenin for tearing apart his rivals in the RSDLP and SRs too!” as a defense for this kind of behavior.
Hm, what else was Lenin up to in between getting into slap-fights with Marxists and ‘Marxists’, I wonder…
FinnishBolshevik
That's a name I haven't heard in a hot minute.
Wasn't he outed as a weird pedo or something?
according to prolewiki, yes. it is in fact the only thing on his page.
didn't know who he is, watched maybe 40 minutes of him rebutting this bad mouse loser
yeah i recommend not looking at the page in question if you haven't, it's brief but very very gross.
anyway don't feel bad about it, you can't act on knowledge you don't have.
I don't remember. I just remember him for dunking on AlternateHistoryHub, which made people realize Cody (AHH's narrator and creator) was more like AlternateRightHub.
He still makes videos
never watching youtubers gang wins again
Joke's on you if you don't get to enjoy Daddy Hakim's incredibly based materia
i dont know what this means and frankly im scared to find out
Drama videos get the goods (advertising revenue and patreon subs)
I mean, you're right, but his new videos aren't approaching the views that he had when he actually had content.
Oof yeah, I used to like Badmouse too. Sad that he went this way considering he's where I even learnt what an ML was. He used to be a ML himself for a bit. I don't understand how he could go from that to regurgitating Red Scare propaganda.
he's pretty notorious for ideology-hopping
c'mon, choose something funny this time.
i'm hoping for one of those hyper-specific ideologies held by a single person on tumblr
c'mon, just mash two slavic names together and call it an ideology
Thyssen-Kruppist, always gotta have a good elevator pitch for it.
Surprised he hasn't become DeLeonist yet.
Slavic names? Why not outright food? Moloko-Rittersport pact (moloko = milk, Ritter Sport = chocolate brand)
The first time I saw his name was a "debunking... myself??" video posted to an old anarchist subreddit, where he made line by line left anarchist rebuttals of one of his previous ancap videos. Within a few years he was an ML and spent a lot of time whining about the impossibility of left unity. No surprise to see he's moved on to whatever this is.
I feel like I know a few people like that in real life, lurching around from ideology to ideology, often looking for connections before getting kicked out for trying to stir shit
I have a feeling most YouTubers don't believe in anything at all. They just make videos that will fill a niche, and if one of their videos gets ten times more views than the rest, that will become their entire shtick. This is how you get self-described "leftists" like Jimmy Dore cranking out anti-vax videos. You don't need to have a dog in the race. All that matters is the videos are doing numbers, so they keep making them.
Everybody except for the proud racists is looking for content which puts a radical patina on the idea that the Communists are taking things too far.
Is Dore still pretending to be leftist? Should’ve dropped the act a long time ago.
The ideology you are describing is that of a literal reactionary, a person who has no goals or values but simply reacts to the world around them. Some people would call it nihilism.
