Hi tovarishi,

Hope you're doing well. Obviously, the title is a massive *work in progress* but that's the broader topic we'll be exploring in my new video. We go over the historical events of the two red scares (yes, there was more than one) - and we more importantly dive into how it affects everyday Americans to this day. I wanted to make an easy-to-understand link between specific past events and the current insanity behind people foaming at the mouth when you tell them you're a leftist. The script is done and recording/editing will begin. Thanks to the financial stability you guys have given me I'm going to be partnering with an editor for this video, and maybe even future ones. So hopefully - they'll look shinier than ever! 

Expect it by the end of the month (as always I guess).

Cheers you sexy tovarischi,

Yugopnik

"The Red Scare and the Demonization of Socialism"?

Anonymous

Speaking of demonizing socialism, I wanted to share some Interesting bit of information that is unrelated to the US directly at least. I'm sorry in advance for any inaccuracies, I'm still researching the topic and it is not that well documented.. My home country, Egypt, used to be a socialist country after the military revolution in 1952. After the assassination of the first president Gamal Abdel Nasser (who was the primary advocate of socialism), socialism was declining in popularity even though the country retained a lot of the socialist practices. Socialist activists, however, have always been under attack and hunted down by the military government for they were considered a threat to the regime. The country have been shifting between advocating for capitalism and supporting social programs like public libraries, public healthcare, and public schools. In the mean time the words leftist/socialist/communist were being radicalized by the religious movements and accused of being anti-Islam and atheist (two very serious accusations in a Muslim majority country). Many people called themselves "Nasserist" as in they believed in what Nasser was doing during his presidency, and most people forgot what it meant to be a leftist. My first encounters to leftist ideologies included movies that mocked leftists as promiscuous hypocrites who did nothing but scream, talk nonsense, smoke weed, and push/rape (I kid you not) women into promiscuity. After the 2011 revolution, leftist ideologies gained more popularity among younger people. We were all being widely introduced to new ideologies like feminism, human rights, socialism... etc. Of course it doesn't mean no one was familiar with those terms or never advocated for them, but the public knowledge was at its worst. There were always battles between the left and whatever powers in charge. But it was the first time for me, a previously uninterested young individual, to have access to groups and people and discussions about all those topics as the Egyptian atmosphere was shifting. We went through two regimes, one that was religious and very dangerous, and the current military one that overthrew the religious regimen and is also very dangerous. A lot of propaganda and shit happened during both regimes and are still happening. The military propaganda paints the left (and everyone opposing it) as traitors who are no different than the religious factions and are actually the religious factions themselves. The public forgot, and radicalis the left, but not much in a religious way as in the past. But socialism still have some momentum in the younger generations thanks to the Internet!
