Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

One of the most common questions we get is whether or not we should "hide our power level" when it comes to our political positions. In this video, we look at the words and practice of Karl Marx, Fred Hampton, Vladimir Lenin, Fidel Castro, and Harvey Milk to tackle the question: should we hide our true positions as we build our movement?

Yes 100% if possible if your starting something new you should not come out swinging with complicated positions/theories/political identities that people don't understand nor have the power to achieve when in the immediate term all you're really going to be doing is trying to revive unions.

Look at recent insurgent political parties in europe that achieved at one point significan results, both left and right, a lot of them do say the "neither left nor rigbt" thing, even when its obvious which it is, they also have non-ideological names look

Reform, Podemos(we can), Chega (enough), 5 stars movement, that new greek party, hell even macron's "republic en marche" etc

So all I can say is corbyn should name his new party Solidarity or Revival or some anodyne shit like that.

Corbyn might have a harder time saying this, but in his new party I’d use “neither left nor right”.

At this point in time, we need to be hiding our power levels.

Yeah that's where the "starting something new" part is more relevant, corbyn isn't new so it'd be a conversion of his, and his movement's, political identity into something else, even if its politics remain the same, and there's no guarantee that actually works out well. It'd be very hard for him.
