"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

prof. Jiang Xueqin is a total crank and anti-communist, no wonder he's the youtube algorithm superstar.

Up until now I’ve avoided this guy and the buzz around him. I listened to the first sentence in this video, which is a clip from one of his lectures.

“Communism was a weapon or a virus, created by capitalism in order to conquer the world; in order to destroy the world so capitalism can spread throughout the world.”

He's also a believer in the conspiracy that Bolsheviks were actually paid by Wall Street to overthrow the Tzar.

Wait, there's more: eventually the Bolsheviks figured out that they've been used and Wall Street won't hold their end of the bargain, and that's why they appointed the evil bad Stalin as their leader instead of Trotsky "as everyone expected" after Lenin's death, and blamed everything on Trotsky "because he was a Jew".

Can't make this up.

You're wrong because they did in fact make it up.

I checked out his Wikipedia page. It’s a rabbit hole.

In his Foundation series, Isaac Asimov proposed that the science of "psycho-history" will help humanity understand its past, predict its future, and control its present. This channel is dedicated to exploring if "psycho-history" is indeed possible.

My brother in Marx, what do you think inspired Asimov but the immortal science to craft his Foundation universe and psycho-history?

Lol this is the stuff that dumbasses eat for breakfast, add in the "psycho" prefix to anything and it's gonna be a best seller. Psychoanalisis, psychohustory whatever
