    Whatifalthist is a /lit/ s***poster that somehow got a following

    His "takes" and a***ysis on history is genuinely awful, Just watch "Understanding Latin America" if you don't believe me.

    because no one has given a solid reason why hes wrong

    ive watched a lot of his videos and while i dont agree with all of his ideas he seems to know history

    everyone is saying hes a bad historian because of his sources but if u watch his videos most of what he is saying is just history u can look up and most of the time its true. He might be wrong in how he characterizes certain things but he doesnt like or fabricate facts

    Read books about the topic that he may not cite because they are too new and include new information that may give more details and context.

    To skirt the political gridlock for a moment, it's so funny that anti-communists see it everywhere while advocates of communism pretty much all agree it's dead in the water.

    people itt are trying to engage w you in good faith & your response is to bury your head in the sand & refuse to meet them in the middle at all

    tbh the discourse so far is more than is even owed to you considering the entire premise of your post from the start was just to try to own the commies

    idk why you feel so confident responding the way you do when you're literally just not well-versed in the things you try to debate people on & can't handle being told that

    ngl it's incredibly on brand for someone who "only reads science" to have literally no understanding of what they're talking about and be completely closed off to having their mind changed

    i know its the youtube comments sxn but these people really unironically think like this legit reads like a copypasta

    I like how instead of addressing any of his arguments or providing evidence of fallacious claims you all just resort to name calling

    I mean I watch his videos and often find things he says that are not what I have been taught but that doesn't mean imma throw the baby out with the bath water

    Idk why in still typing tho yall dense for the most part

    Communism basically just points out the flwes of capitalism and says we will do the opposite and because this aspect of capitalism is bad the communist approach will automatically be better

    When in reality communism doesn't effectively address any of capitalism flaws and instead introduces more weaknesses

    Socialism is the economic policy that is rational I think communism as an ideology is weird to me

    If you can admit capitalist imperialism has been a brutal, exploitative process maybe someday you'll stop telling yourself "I'm sure any alternative is worse". Even slight changes like public healthcare or soft power are significant.

    I mean, spoiler alert, but there is no communism today. It's a historical topic, an academic category, etc. It's just instructive for things like criticizing capitalism, building labor power, etc.
