Hello Tovarischi,

After a small and needed summer break we're back with regular agitprop for your beautiful eyes and ears. Today we're going down a philosophical route and we're addressing a question as old as time through a Marxist lens. I tried to make it as brutally approachable as possible while still pushing forward a perspective I've seen literally NOWHERE on youtube. 

Hope you're all doing well, and that you enjoy the release.

Thank you,

Yugo

Free Will | How Marxism answers the "Do we have Free Will" question.

Do societies have control over the direction they take? Every discussion on this I've found online has always been black and white. We're either pre-coded robots or some sort of supermen in charge of our futures. So, I decided to give this conversation a materialist spin - one which doesn't just care about pinpointing what is true - but one which wants to utilize whatever happens to be.

Congratulations Yugopnik. I remember finding your channel several years ago and it helping me along my journey of political education, and I've linked to it before to help others similarly. YouTube and other social media serves as the pamphlets of the modern day and helps spread these ideas to the working class and I'm so grateful and excited that there are talented comrades working in this space. You, JT, and Hakim are all fantastic in your own way and I consider it an honor to struggle along side you in my own way. Keep it up, here's to 200,000 soon enough!

Yugo, I just wanted to tell how that I find your writing beautiful. For someone who speaks English as a second or third language, you write fucking poetry. You could teach most rappers a thing or two about metaphors. The way you conclude your videos is always great too. The one where you were talking about nationalism and how we could all stop killing each other over pieces of colored cloth...give me chills. You make great videos but u think writing is your gift comrade.
