Hakim post Hakim EXPOSED (LEAKED DMs??!? 😱😱😱) from patreon

Hi there! Excuse the impromptu video; today a video on organizing and movement building was supposed to go up, but some twitter outrage and YT still not accepting the upload got in the way. I'll re-record and re-edit that video in hopes of it uploading in a few weeks. Regardless, if you have any questions about this or anythi...

All The Questions Socialists Are Asked, Answered (TIMESTAMPED)

Hakim post All The Questions Socialists Are Asked, Answered (TIMESTAMPED) from patreon

Hello again! This is a Q&A I did earlier this month on the Politics Discord server. I got some questions that I think practically every Socialist gets asked at some point or another, so here are my answers. I hope they come in handy in your future discussions! Timestamps in the description. If you want any clarifications,...

Talking w/ Richard Wolff: The Controversial Questions (China, Revolution, Markets and more!)

Hakim post Talking w/ Richard Wolff: The Controversial Questions (China, Revolution, Markets and more!) from patreon

Hello everyone! Sorry I couldn't get any of your questions in, the allotted time was only 30 minutes, I couldn't even get to all the "main" topics I wanted to cover sadly.
We spoke about the questions of China's position, "market Socialism", his view of cooperatives and if/how they could seize political control, and more....

Apologies to all my patrons this month, my mic died before I could read out all the names. I'm getting a new one very soon and I'll read out all your names in the next video I upload. Sorry about this! <3
This is just something quick and fun before all the Wolff fun we'll have in a bit. I hope you enjoy it!

Breadtube, Debate-Bros, and The Problems of The Western Left

Hakim post Breadtube, Debate-Bros, and The Problems of The Western Left from patreon

Hello again! In this video, I casually go over the general errors and pitfalls of the modern left as I see them. This is not meant to be all-exhaustive, nor incredibly in-depth. My hope is that it generates some discussion however, and allows us all to improve together. Lemme know what you think; love you all! <3

The Only Leftist Reading List You'll Ever Need (lol)

Hakim post The Only Leftist Reading List You'll Ever Need (lol) from patreon

Obvious joke in the title aside, here's a quick video about something I get asked daily. A general introductory reading list for the basics of Socialism in only a handful of works. This isn't meant to be all-exhaustive, and many other recommendations can be found in the dedicated playlist, or through DMing me whenever you lik...

Capitalism Steals From You, And Here's How

Hakim post Capitalism Steals From You, And Here's How from patreon

The final video loosely related to the previous two on basic considerations regarding the contradictions of Capitalism, and the superiority of Socialism. In this one, we'll be discussing the grand theft that occurs every minute of every day you work under Capitalism, and we'll contrast that with the other argument you hear fr...

I managed to get it out in decent time, thankfully.
Building up from the previous video (on why Capitalism is a crap system, generally), here we discuss how & why Socialism is a superior system. Specifically, Socialism stands atop theoretical principles (that have been put into practice at differing times, to differing...

Hello! Apologies for disappearing for a few weeks, there will be a bit more of that sadly. Work has been pretty heavy these past few weeks. If you've DM'd me and haven't gotten a response, that's why. Please do bare with me <3
Here's a video on why Capitalism sucks, essentially. It's a basic, general overview for all t...

Hi there! Here's my Christmas gift to all you lovely people, I hope you like it!
I generally go through Vaush's really inadequate and disappointing response to my video where, amongst other things, he admits to not reading theory, moves the goal posts, spends half the video not actually engaging with my points but instead ...

Hey uhh, did you guys know that, Socialism is when the government does stuff, and the more stuff it does, the more Socialist it is. And if it does a whole lotta stuff, it's Communism.
Joking aside, I've wanted to do something on PragerU for a while thinking it'd be fun. Boy was I wrong; this was frustrating as all hell bec...

Yes. Yes it is.
I hope you enjoy this look into the Orientalism of Disney's Aladdin. In particular, I highlight just a few of the many issues of the movie, regarding names, dress, Oriental depictions of women and much more. I hope you like it!

How NOT To Talk To Liberals About Capitalism (Jubilee's Socialist vs Capitalist 'Middle Ground' Vid)

Hakim post How NOT To Talk To Liberals About Capitalism (Jubilee's Socialist vs Capitalist 'Middle Ground' Vid) from patreon

This Jubilee video is a really good case-study for how these sort of conversations go. You have a few people vaguely informed about Socialism, and a few people who advocate for Capitalism solely out of environmental diffusion of hegemonic ideas rather than personally being convinced by it. Truth be told, I expected a lot more...

The Death Toll of Capitalism

Hakim post The Death Toll of Capitalism from patreon

You hear it everywhere, "Socialism killed millions!". Rich, coming from a system with in-built excess death for profit. Capitalism's projection at it's finest. The numbers game is one they'll always, disastrously, lose.
Apologies for being away for a bit, I'm still busy as all hell. Trying to still get out some quality vi...

Conservatives Have The Worst Arguments Against Socialism (Debunking Oxford Speaker's Rambling)

Hakim post Conservatives Have The Worst Arguments Against Socialism (Debunking Oxford Speaker's Rambling) from patreon

 Hello there! This video has been recommended to me forever and I never bothered to watch it because I could've guessed what he was going to say. Nonsense about freedom, disingenuous comparisons, references to Germany, maybe an Orwell quote or two. Turns out, I wasn't far from the truth. Hope you enjoy it.

Hey there! Join me in watching Vaush systematically misunderstand or take out of context every quote he uses, while at the same time outing himself as only having skimmed a few works, if he even read them in the first place. I hope you enjoy it!

Finally a video I've been meaning to make for a long time.

As a result, they reject it ...
