In this week’s episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by the one and only Yugopnik - Marxist YouTuber, Streamer, and co-host of The Deprogram Podcast  with JT Chapman from Second Thought and Hakim. In this episode we discuss the state of so-called “LeftTube” and “The Left YouTube Pipeline.”  We discuss Yugopniik’s funnel theory, whether he still believes in it, drama within The Online Left, Leftist infighting, and balancing theory with real-life organizing.


In the two-hour Backroom episode on Patreon, Yugopnik and I dive deep into the Contrapoints drama with regard to Israel-Palestine and the left. We discuss how progressives are not always necessarily socialists, and how, in many cases, progressivism can sometimes be a barrier to socialism.  We also discuss the technicalities of the socialist strategy and how the Separation of Powers and multi-party democracy could function under socialism in order to avoid the pitfalls of past Marxist-Leninist Regimes, and what MLs today in general miss. Oh, and we also dispel some dumb rumors circulating on Reddit with regard to me and the Deprogram boys.
