  • Second Thought is a respectable comrade, but I think it’s very important to keep in mind that he’s a baby Communist that is still learning basic skills and is fairly lacking in knowledge of international communist history. His interests seem to center around primarily speaking to an American audience about left subjects and debunking myths masking communism more palatable for Americans - which is fine, just narrow, and ultimately I don’t think he has a well tuned detector for subtle anti communism (I don’t think he would pick up on Zizek as an anti communist, for example). With regard to 1Dime specifically, I forget specifics, but I was listening to one of his shows in which he was interviewing another communist at some time and I just remember hearing him say some suspicious things during the interview that raised red flags. Even in this video there are moments where I feel like he is offering a lot of credence to conservative historians, and overall it’s unclear to me that he is even in favor of the Chinese communists goals in his analysis.
