Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

This is actually quite good; addresses the western left's obsession with purity and martyrdom without producing a single useful result.

Don Quixote, but he thinks he's leading a communist vanguard, would be some good fanfiction.

You would not like an ML Quixote, I think. Comrade Quixote would do something like invent a fictional perfect vanguard party to swear his devotion to at every opportunity, going on about it's virtues in a satire of communist literature (As Dolcinea is a mockery of chivalric poetry), out of a flawed and mistaken belief that a vanguard party is required to be a communist.
He would decry the wickedness of people who represent the left but fail to adhere to their stated values and proclaim those they deride men of true virtue.
He would serve as both a highlight of the inherent ridiculousness of pursuing Marxism in modern society and the nobility of true belief in a cause.
:thonk:
Actually it could work. But it wouldn't be flattering to communists.

Edit: also he would be the only communist character ever where a central flaw is reading too much theory.

Imagine being so radioactively wrong that random people online are still dunking on you more than 80 years after you die. :walter-shock:

:rosa: Eh, it could be worse. You could be the SPD and still be as radioactively wrong in exactly the same way as you were 100 years ago.
