Got recommended some of his videos, primarily the one where he reacts and responds to The Deprogram's episode on China.

He goes off saying that China isn't socialist, that there is no such thing as "socialism in transition" or "highest stage of socialism". I stopped watching about 20 mins in.

I got an impression he follows an MLM line. He's fairly critical of anarchists and Trotskyists, but I haven't seen him go after Stalin or Mao, only post-Deng China. Still find his work very useful, but it requires a lot of attention to separate the original text from his editorialising in some of his audiobooks.
