Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Yeah, his channel is very interesting, although for whatever reason he avoids talking about Marxism altogether, not sure if that's a strategic decision or if that's just a blind spot in his education.
Definitely both. He worked really hard to become a (traditional) economist so he focused on that.
He doesn't even call himself left wing (although he obviously is) because we need to get the centre right voters on board too.
He also distinguishes between social left and economic left. He doesn't want to touch the social aspects because he has little expertise there and because a lot of the bigotry and racism stems from the economic stress which leads to scapegoating.
His central message is "tax wealth, not work". The details are not important yet.
