Not beating the poverty cult accusations

I agree on the second to last sentence , you have to see how insane the last sentence sounds. And by voter apathy, do you mean channeling voters away from the DNC?

Lol go read a book kiddo

Forgive me for asking so much, you’re saying he represents a danger for the left in the way that the ballot candidates he supports aren’t solid enough long term? Or too radical? Follow up: What are your thoughts on Mamdani? Surely a socialist winning against a dnc darling isn’t what you mean by one off candidates, right?

If you mean people like the PSL candidates (Cruz), may I ask what you think of groups like CPUSA and PSL ?

There is no dichotomy you're just dumb and losing

Wage theft and tax evasion are just the nominal theft, the real theft is surplus value extraction.

Socialism is not a poverty cult. I have issues with some of Hasan's more liberal takes, but owning nice things is not a problem.

How exactly is Hasan a dumbass?

We bring it up because Hasan isn't exploiting people for his wealth, and you're misplacing your hatred. Capitalists are the problem, not Hasan, who generally takes an anti-imperialist, pro-socialist stance.

Anything's possible when you make shit up kiddo

alright, that’s really all I needed. I disagree entirely with your framing of who Hasan is. I think if you actually listened to what he’s said you’d realize he is a very solid political analyst. He goes live for 8 hours a day, there’s no need to lie about “manufacturing rage”, everything he says is recorded. His reaction content is actually very formative against reactionary thoughts/rage manufacturing.

How can you go on the internet and use Rage bait like “he shocks his dog” and then claim Hasan is the one using rage value? I really do not ever see it. And I have my fair share of criticism of all these leftist yuppies. But Hasan “farming opposition” is laughable. Liberals still think voting for Kamala is the end of your leftist political responsibility. They truly believe leftists are the reason she lost. There are so many like you just willing to plug your ears and tune out, say you don’t care, and then have the audacity to come back every 4 years to scold leftists into accepting the status quo. It’s not gonna work much longer.

In any event though You should check out PSL action network.

I don’t have the energy for this, friend. If you truly feel the last paragraph is true there is nothing I could do to convince you the opposite. We just both think the other is wrong on how much the guy knows so we’re gonna have to agree to disagree. I think his political analysis is extremely important for the left to have in 2026 and further

He. didn't. shock. his. dog. You aren't going to engage with something that doesn't confirm your bias, so this is a futile exercise most likely, but jesus fucking christ dude.

I don't think those first two are true, and the third applies to many, many people.

I don't think you're telling the truth, or are misrepresenting it.

Socialism is not poverty. Consumption of commodities does not make one a capitalist. I don't donate to Hasan or even watch him, but your continued insistence that socialism is a poverty cult immediately betrays your lack of knowledge of how socialism works.

Yes.

Consuming luxury goods isn't anti-socialist.

How is Hasan "participating in extreme capitalism?" The task of socialists in capitalist societies is to organize and agitate for the overthrowal of capitalism, not to consume fewer luxury commodities.

Not much of a response to what I wrote, but ok...

It is the response you have earned

Because you can't distinguish between the false dichotomy you created intentionally in order to avoid the real question. It's a nice strategy, but it got stale a long time ago. No one said socialists have to be poor. Literally, no one.

Anything's possible when you make shit up

Did anyone say socialists have to be poor? Did I say that?

"I'm not saying socialists have to be poor I'm just criticizing this specific person for not being poor enough for my entirely arbitrary standards"

Lol try harder halfwit

No, I'm criticizing the guy for exclusively chasing money and maximizing capitalism. It's not difficult. He's a grifter and some day you'll figure it out.

Lol so making shit up, cool cool
