I like him but he has dumb opinions like not critically supporting Russia and being religious.
Like I said, I think they do deep down have a much greater understanding of MLism and world events than they let out, but just have to keep it watered down for YouTube.
I don't understand the religious comment. Marxists can be religious, it just can't interfere with the materialist line of thinking or stray into any cringe anti-democratic/oppressive policies (at least that's my opinion, educate me if I'm wrong)
So, you are saying it's ok to hold conflicting philosophies or lying to yourself or maybe even being hypocrite? If you look at the "religious marxists", nearly all of them are terrible at either being marxist or being religious (or both). I don't negate that marxists and religious people can and should be on the same side now and then and even cooperate in some issues, but materialism openly and cathegorically negate religion in its entirety, without it it's not materialism but at best agnosticism.
I personally don't really get how someone reconciles materialism with religion, but why be an obnoxious atheist about it? I'd rather not exclude anyone because of my idealistic worldview; either I'm wrong and religion will exist for as long as humanity does (so what did I accomplish by being a dick about it?) or my way of thinking is correct and people are going to come around to that eventually, once the material conditions are right for people to no longer need religion.
Correcting people about marxism being materialist in a marxist space is not obnoxious atheism.
