InfraHaz is a fraud. Not only on the theoretical level but on a deep, personal level. Lots of ppl are familiar with Two Hole Haz's dubious knowledge of female anatomy, but this incident reveals so much about Haz as a person and grifter that it's worth reexamining. 🧵
In August 2021, Haz called into @kyootbot's speed dating stream and launched into misogynistic posturing as an "alpha male". Kyootbot immediately saw through his tough-guy facade, clocked him for the insecure fraud he is, and spent the next hour gently mocking our oblivious hero.
Let's go to the tape. Haz calls in and within minutes has been goaded into standing up and literally flexing, to feigned admiration. Haz follows up on his literal weird flex with an openly misogynistic "make me a sandwich" bit straight out of a 2008 high school locker room.
After making it clear she won't be his "submissive servant," @kyootbot responds to Haz saying she's never met a man like him: "I've literally met you like a year ago, and your name was John, dude" lol
Beginning to suspect the limits of Haz's carnal knowledge, @kyootbot presses him to tell her how exactly he plans to dominate her sexually. His answer demonstrates conclusively to anyone who's ever had sex that Haz has never actually been with a woman.
And now the money shot, presented without comment.
@kyootbot: How many holes does a woman have from the waist down?
@ InfraHaz: Two.
At this point, @ InfraHaz is completely defeated. @kyootbot has seen what so many self-styled "Marxists" could not: that under all of that bluster is a soft, insecure boy with an unrealizable image in his head of what a Man is supposed to be.
By this time I almost start to feel pity for Haz. Having once been an insecure, sexually frustrated young man in a patriarchal culture masking my insecurity w misogyny & hyper-masculine pursuits, having those vulnerabilities exposed to the world would have been my WORST nightmare
Then I remember Haz isn't just a lonely young man struggling w insecurity finding his way in a patriarchal world. He's using his platform to spread racist, anti-indigenous, transphobic, misogynistic attitudes, catering to the worst instincts of impressionable young men. Fuck him.
@ InfraHaz's political views are just as shallow and fraudulent as his macho posturing. Lots of smart ppl have talked about why he's wrong on a theoretical level. My small contribution can be found here. 👇
Haz's grift is fairly sophisticated. He's clever, quick with rejoinders, and is decently well read. Most people haven't studied enough to see through his fraud on a theoretical level. But anyone can look at this thread and see what an absolute fraud Haz is as a person.
Haz and most of the people in his fanbase are crypto-fascists. Haz promotes a Strasserite Herrenvolk socialism rebranded as "Marxism-Leninism." But I don't think everyone in his following understands this, and I hope many of them wake up to this poser's bullshit.
Like any demagogue, Haz thrives off controversy. Even when he gets exposed in debates, his follower count grows. Don't dignify these clowns with earnest debate. Instead just link to videos in this thread. Exposing Haz's fake alpha bullshit is more effective than out-debating him.
Also interesting is how Haz lashes out at subscribers and tries to reassert his dominance every time he gets embarrassed. It's such painfully transparent compensation for middle school-calibre insecurity levels.
What's kind of sad is that the insight offered by @kyootbot is actually really good advice for guys like Haz. If he really took it to heart he would become a much happier, healthier person, though I'm not optimistic that will happen given his nano-celebrity status.
If anyone wants to watch the entire thing, here's the full video. It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen, but incredibly difficult to watch if you're an empathetic person lol. There should have been no coming back from this.

🧵 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Part 2 🧵
Western popular history rests on numerous Big Lies repeated ad nauseam. One of these lies is that Hitler and Stalin were allies who collaborated to partition Poland in World War 2. This is provably false. Here's what actually happened.
Following the October Revolution, the nascent Bolshevik Russian Republic was invaded by 14 capitalist countries in support of the czarist White Army. Millions died and the Bolsheviks learned that their first task was defending the revolution against internal and external enemies.
Already woefully under-industrialized, relying on peasant agriculture and devastated by nearly a decade of war, the Bolsheviks set about rebuilding the country. The key tasks were to educate the population, build infrastructure, mechanize agriculture and industrialize the country
Reading a bit about the infamous Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in Grover Furr’s Blood Lies, a takedown of Timothy Snyder’s dog shit book Bloodlands. Whoa boy the anti-communist propaganda on this one is intense. Let’s look at what actually happened.
First of all, the USSR spent the second half of the 1930s desperately seeking allies against a belligerent Nazi Germany. France and England rebuffed these efforts, since they viewed the USSR as a greater threat to their capitalist system and hoped to direct Hitler eastward.
What’s not well known is that Poland was offered a collective security agreement by the USSR as well. The Polish state - deeply antisemitic, anticommunist and borderline fascist itself - refused any such arrangement, effectively dooming Poland.
An interesting contradiction facing revolutionary parties is the contradiction between legal work and armed struggle. The latter can only succeed with mass support built during the former, but success in legal work breeds revisionism and can lead the party to miss their window.
The PAIGC struck at the right moment after building the necessary base of support. Communist parties in Iraq and Indonesia missed their window with deadly consequences. On the other hand, armed struggle has also failed when not preceded by building mass support.
I highly recommend @vijayprashad’s book The Darker Nations for its examination of this contradiction. Audiobook here.
🧵 The Marxist case against American "patriotic socialists"🧵
While claiming to be "Marxist-Leninists", the "patriotic socialists" display an inability or unwillingness to apply Marxist analysis to the United States. This thread examines their basic errors.
"Patriotic socialists" claim that American patriotism is a positive force that can and should be appropriated by Marxist-Leninists and put towards revolutionary ends. For justification, they look to Leninism's historic support for revolutionary nationalism in the Third World.
This argument rests on false premises. Patriotic socialism not only fails to understand the nature and history of critical phenomena such as imperialism and settler colonialism; it does so because of a failure to grasp and apply dialectical materialism, the very heart of Marxism.
With rumors flying about yet another possible Bernie Sanders run, I can’t help but think of Rosa Luxembourg laying out how the moment democracy threatens bourgeois class interests, the rug gets pulled out from under democracy’s feet. Sound familiar?
The State has a dual character. It serves the interests of the dominant class, while also performing roles helpful to Society broadly. Liberal democracy presents itself as the servant of Society, but in reality the class aspect is always primary.
The greater the divergence between the interests of society broadly and the interests of the bourgeoisie specifically, the more the State reveals itself as the servant of the latter. The much-decried decline of “democracy” is a product of the heightening of class contradictions.
Marxists and anyone with a desire to understand international relations should familiarize themselves with the phenomenon of Bonapartism, a term which IMO most accurately describes Vladimir Putin. 🧵
I'm citing an opinion piece by Donald Courter at United World International, a Russian NGO targeted by US sanctions which shares various, broadly anti-Western perspectives. Twitter now dutifully prevents tweeting and DMing links so I've uploaded it here: bit.ly/38VYYlR
Bonapartism describes a phenomenon where a strong individual leader assumes and maintains power by playing competing social classes off one another, providing stability in a situation where no social class is able to decisively defeat the others & fully impose its will
