China's Cultural Revolution: The Full Story, a react by Hasanabi.

I'm watching it, and there are some sus takes from the very begning, when he starts to call mao paranoid that what kruschev did would be a first step to restore capitalism, that's not paranoia, that was clear judgement. And the way he phrases some stuff are quite concerning as well, he seems to have some questionable perspectives about AES and how authoritarian things were or were not

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.

I've listened to him interview other comrades on his show in the past, and some of the things he's said raised red flags for me. I struggle to remember specifics
