Capitalism is failing humanity. But humanity does not have to fail. A better world is both possible and necessary. We don't have to repeat the mistakes of the past (or the present).
The videos you see on this channel will critique the currently existing economic and political systems based on coercive hierarchies of domination, explore alternatives to these systems (theories and real examples), and try to keep you entertained. The goal is to spread the types of ideas that will help move us closer to the societal transformations that are necessary for a better world.

Thank you everyone for your patience. I’ve been working hard (as can be seen in the photo) but it seems that things always take longer than I think they will. I have four very long videos that I’ve been working on in parallel. Previously I thought that these would only be two videos but they got too enormous to contain within just two and so they became four.
One is nearly complete (I thought it was complete but it needs some minor revisions). This one was the biggest and most difficult of all the four projects so I’m glad it’s (almost) ready.
The other three are still just in script form. Two of these scripts are very nearly in their final form. And one has the rough draft complete but needs quite a bit more work.
Unfortunately, the video that is very nearly complete is meant to come out after the video that is currently furthest from completion – and it’s on that video where my efforts are currently focused.
At the moment I think that these two videos will be ready by next month, but if not it should be no later than January. And the other two won’t be far behind.
So again, thank you everyone for your patience! And I hope all of you are well… though I know that at least some of you aren’t, and so I hope you will be very well very soon!
💖Sending my Best Wishes for all. And remember to love yourself and each other!💖

Heyyy! Sorry I haven’t released a video in… wow, over five months! During this time I’ve been working on four long videos. Unexpected complications with one in particular have prolonged the production time, and I’ve also been dealing with some personal/life issues that have been time consuming and stressful. But I remain undaunted!
It will still be a while (hopefully not more than a couple months?) before any of these long videos are ready, but once the first one comes out, the other three will be close behind.
In the meantime, I’m considering making a short video to fill the void, but am not sure if that’s a good idea because it will be one more thing delaying the release of the Big Four. We’ll see what happens!
I hope all of you are well… I’m sending love and positive wishes across the distance (to the extent such thing is possible! In any case, the neurons for that intention are firing in my brain). ❤️

I watched this @Anark video like a month ago and, despite a couple small disagreements, thought, "I wish more people would watch this!" so here's me doing something to help make that happen...

Can anyone help? I’d like to read real examples of collective decision making between multiple groups via mandated recallable delegates. Ideally the text should give an overview of the discussion had by the delegates, with enough detail to know the various differing positions or preferences on the issue at hand, and what decision they all ultimately agreed on.
The local groups could be anything – e.g. strike committees, neighborhood/village assemblies, local branches of a union, etc., etc.
Anything you can recommend is much appreciated!

Black Mirror season 7 dropped April 10th and is said to be the best season in years. On a related note, if you're into video essays that use pop culture analysis as an excuse to discuss capitalism, the state, human nature, and post-capitalist post-state futures, and you haven't seen my Black Mirror videos, then now might be a good time to check them out.

One of the things that hurts most about this world is knowing we should all love each other -- care for each other's wellbeing, feel and act towards each other with compassion and sympathetic joy, value each other's existence -- and yet see how horribly far we fall short of that. And that those with the most power are often the ones who fall further short of this love than anyone else. They have the most power to shape the world, and they shape it in their own empathy-deficient image. The most heartless among us are the ones who most control us.
This must be changed.

This video by @blondepolitics is extremely important & highly recommended. It may sound like a conspiracy theory but this conspiracy is not theoretical. It's openly documented by the key players behind it in their books, on their websites, and in their interviews. And although this video is focused on the U.S. it involves an agenda that is ultimately international.
A segment of the capitalist class aims to create corporate fiefdoms/ministates. These people are organized, extremely well funded by billionaires, allied with powerful organizations, have a planned agenda, are already advancing that agenda, and of most urgent concern: the Trump administration includes those who support this agenda.
In fact, much of what this administration has been doing is right out of this agenda’s playbook. You might even think the video came out three days ago, but it was actually over three months ago, before Trump took office. Its predictive power is quite chilling.
The video is half an hour. I hope you will watch and share it with others. Spreading awareness is not in itself enough to stop this but is important.
The whole thing is really terrifying, but at the same time, it may present greater opportunities for revolution due to enemy infighting. In the past there was class conflict of the bourgeoisie vs. feudal lords; this will cause intra-class conflict between capitalists who wants to advance this new form of polity and capitalists loyal to a nation-state.

I hope this video by @willallendupraw goes viral: "Arming the Left - America's Leftists Reclaim Self-Defense". Especially in countries where fascism is rising, it's advantageous to own a gun/guns, to practice using the gun(s) and develop your skills, and to organize or join a gun club with comrades, e.g. the Socialist Rifle Association. (And I think SRA will provide a practice gun if you don't have one.) A video like this is good for encouraging people in that direction, so I think it's good to share it around.
