Anarchist YouTube

the friend is Laurelai Bailey who is an fbi snitch and has been accused of rape by multiple people, coffin shas defended her and said he was going to make a video "debunking" the allegations against her, he also apparantly has her moderate his twitch chat some other people have defended him. there has understandably been a reaction, some of which is excessive (eg Angie Speaks was doxxed and hacked), or people using it opportunistically and people on coffins side have been presenting the selves as entirely the victim

Not a channel but I've been adding things I find on YouTube to a play list,

Thanks, fellas! Now, it's time to binge watch.

Found this via Freedom: https://freedomnews.org.uk/lost-on-the-lane-to-love-aaas-offering-a-uniq... Probably also relevant to the discussion on the older "incel" thread.

Watching this now. It's very good.

Yeah, I've not got around to that one yet but Trouble is generally a pretty high-quality series. If you've not seen it, the This Is Parkdale film they made about a rent strike is great: https://sub.media/video/this-is-parkdale-2/

Joe Rogan might not be the worst thing out there, but I think he's probably one of the major vectors of people towards the far right at the moment - a lot more effective than an actual pro-Nazi video which would turn more people offi.

Just this week he just had Alex Jones on, solving Alex Jones' de-platforming issue for him: https://www.you tube.com/watch?v=-5yh2HcIlkU

He was also pushing South African 'white genocide' farm murders conspiracy theories on twitter not long ago: https://twitter.com/joerogan/status/1041448632535273472

Or with Sam Harris (and Majid Nawaz) defending Charles Murray https://www.you tube.com/watch?v=5r_E0bXF54U

So as soon as you find Joe Rogan, you're immediately exposed to Alex Jones, race science, and far-right Afrikaaner conspiracy theories, even if all Joe Rogan wants to do is give those a 'fair hearing' or whatever.

I've seen one or two podcasts which seem to be trying to do a 'Joe Rogan of the left', revleftradio seems to be the main one - it has everyone from anarchists to Stalinists on it, including Dengists like Ajit Singh who claim China is socialist.

I can see how the scattershot incoherency helps the far right where you this cast of characters with a whole range of contradictory and reactionary views reinforcing each other. Joe Rogan and Dave Rubin are the epitomy of where you have these kind of mainstream channels that lead to far right ones via their guests.

I don't see how mirroring this approach on the 'left' (let alone from the point of view of anti-state communist politics) is a counter-strategy. Especially given the red/brown crossover of so many Stalinists/Dengists at the moment. But I also just do not get on well with video, or even podcasts unless it's something I'm really desperate to hear, so a positive idea for an alternative is harder to come by.

This is a really interesting interview with a former alt-right-leaning youtuber, who apparently got into it via self-help and Stefan Molyneux stuff - educational for people like me who don't really understand "youtube culture" as a thing.

Radical Reviewer

I liked his 'Fascism and Big Business Review' enough to go out and obtain a copy of the book. I'm about one hundred pages into it and it offers a good overall history of and analysis of the factors involved in the rise to power of Italian and German fascism in 1920s and '30s.

Oh, and all of this guys videos have a delightful little dog featured in them as well.

I saw this video Why equality is unhelpful as a political goal which I thought was nice but I don't know if the author is anarchist but is mainly about Marx on equality

Not sure what is going on here but I found this

Survey of Anarchism
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwdFrCRHVr1YcZ2PQA1U7C7r2kdYdfHFK

A playlist of audiobooks edited and remixed

Not youtube, but this is a massive archive of Anarchist films

https://christiebooks.co.uk/anarchist-film-archive/

Blimey, that is a big archive.

Yeah, it's an interesting project that, no idea if it'll reach the people who need to see it but respect to them for trying.

Great stuff. Well put together and funny. I spat my tea at the slapstick opening. Ouch. Liked and subscribed.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!! This means so much to me. There's nothing I want more in the world than to help spread dissent against capitalism and support for libertarian-communism.

Thank you, Pi. Hearing this really makes my day!!! Humor can help make revolutionary ideas spread to those who otherwise might not have been interested.I hope you didn't get tea on your phone/computer, LOL.

To everyone: This is the type of video you can share with your liberal or non-political friends, because it’s fun, down to Earth, and won’t make anyone feel preached at.
I made a post here for anyone who wants more info https://libcom.org/forums/general/i-started-libertarian-communist-youtub...

Hey everyone! After a long ordeal I finally finished a second video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyepf912aIg

From now on I'll be posting my future videos on this thread: https://libcom.org/forums/general/i-started-libertarian-communist-youtub...

Nice,

Anyway I've found a few other things of interest, someone has finally started translating the Russian TV series Nine Lives of Nestor Makhno

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzUirap465e-cGyzJeQOtvA

Oh and also a friend of mine remixed Mother Anarchy, so I used it to make a sort of Music Video

https://youtu.be/IbCI8t2Cfwc

Cool music video. And I'm really excited for the translation of Nine Lives of Nestor Makhno! I hope it's good.

can't wait to watch it! BTW you could feel free to post them to libcom as library entries, where you embed the videos, and tag yourself as Author

Also I would totally recommend you starting a patreon! These videos take so much time to do, if you want to be able to spend enough time on them to do them properly in a sustainable way moving forwards, unless you're independently wealthy you'll probably need to generate some income in order to allow you to take the time away from wage labour!

I lost interest in the series once I discovered that the Battle of Peregonovka was omitted entirely from the series .

For those that don't know the Battle of Peregonovka is where Makhno's Anarchist led forces routed General Anton Denikin's counter-revolutionary White Army in the Ukraine just as Denikin's forces were making a final push on Moscow after having defeated the Bolshevik Red Army in a series of battles.

The Makhnovist Peter Arshinov and others considered the routing of Denikin's forces in Peregonovka to have been the pivotal battle of the Russian Civil War as Makhno's victory in Peregonovka and his subsequent follow up actions throughout the rest of the East Bank of the Ukraine compelled Denikin to re-route a number of troops to the Ukraine from the Moscow Front in order to avoid being totally cut off from re-supply from the sea ports of the Black Sea, most of which had been re-taken by the Makhnovists in a series of swiftly executed raids carried out on the heels of Makhno's victory in Peregonovka.

The interruption to Denikin's push to capture Moscow caused by Makhno victory in Peregonovka and his subsequent follow up actions in the Ukraine is said to have thrown Deninkin's entire campaign off balance, which in turn allowed Trotsky an opportunity to reorganize the Red Army into a force capable of turning the tide on the Whites on the Moscow Front.

Arshinov's account of the battle can be found in this chapter from his book on the Makhnovist movement.

A dramatized and rather flowery account of the battle can be found here.

A. Skirda's book has a good account of the battle that includes some brief commentary lifted from the memoirs of a White Officer that was apparently within earshot of the artillery deployed in the battle but did not participate in the actual battle himself.

Recently I found a Belarusian Anarchist youtube channel Radix https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4jQFSjNgvazZmdFN5a2mPA

Most of the videos are Belarusian language but some (the ones with English in the titles) have English subtitles.

Like for example Cops and Nazism
