There’s a third person who explicitly advocated patriotic socialism in an extremely thin “debunking” of Danny Haiphong.

yea that's probably the one I'm thinking of. Pretty whack. If they're still Cornel Westing at this point, ranting about "woke," and talking about how the American revolution was a rebellion against colonialism then... Well, I just think it's disappointing because Eddie is (imo) a likeable personality as a host and if they had gone a different route they could have been good at helping to popularize/educate about Marxism instead of vulgarizing it.

I agree, I saw someone say that they said they’d get better after realizing that one of their associates was problematic, but they haven’t. Looking at their site and YT channel it mostly sounds good, except a few red flags. They have a recent video with Xiangyu who I’ve heard is an incel and I’ve seen using fascist dogwhistles. I also heard a podcast with him and the host was a TERF. There’s a video promoting Glenn Greenwald who used to try to seem left, but in the few years has gone full “populist” (fash) grifter, and was recently on Infowars. There’s a video with pictures of Black Marxists that says it’s about the importance of “American” Marxism. Du Bois literally moved to Ghana because he didn’t want to be associated with this country and these types want to associate him with it. Also, I just remembered how they had a video talking about how they loved that psyop “rich men north of Richmond” song that was complaining about welfare queens and liberal elites.
