Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

this criticism "feels" like something someone who's never actually read Marx might think sounds right, but very quickly falls apart when you start reading Capital and realize that he's responding to liberal economists of his time with very specific critiques by working through their own economic logic, and yes, using real world examples to illustrate his points

maybe you're confused because you mistakenly believe Marx invented communism and wanted everyone to share the same toothbrush, when in reality the bulk of his economic writing is spent analyzing and critiquing the foundational assumptions of capitalist production and exchange
