Why Whatifalthist is a Failed Historian: Debunking his WEIRD Communism Video
17,576Self-styled historian Whatifalthist decided to broach the subject of Communism in a meandering 50-minute long video that touches on ancient magic, gnosticism, femininity and a lot of other topics, but seemingly never delves into any Marxist texts! You don't have to agree with any communistic ideology, agree with any of the economic analysis or even be left-wing to understand how his video is tendentious and with very little connection to material reality.
If you enjoy the video, please leave a like, I'm told it helps. If you have questions or suggestions please leave a comment, I do my best to read them all!
