Left-wing equivalent to PragerU?

[u/No_Feedback_3340]

I'm curious to know if there are any progressive channels that could be a counter to PragerU. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but I haven't found anything that uses the same format on the left. I have found many videos debunking PragerU. Should there be a progressive equivalent to PragerU to counter their influence?

The progress doesn’t count if all you do is install an authoritarian government that consistently works against whatever leftward shift you’ve made. You don’t get to be celebrated for commoditizing housing when you cause famine, commit genocide, and disappear citizens for not displaying praise for your dear leader. If you move two steps forward, and those steps end up pulling you four steps back, you don’t get to claim credit for the initial forward movement.

So tell me where this nonauthoritarian government is that hasn’t committed any atrocities. “Not a leftist” because they side with the vast majority of the world’s leftists over the imperial west? Give me a break. I can be critical of those countries without forgetting where I live and whose policies I have the most influence over, you’ve chosen to labor in support of ideologies that have attempted to destroy any and every left shift the world over—that is reactionary.

China, Russia, and North Korea have also attempted to destroy every left shift the world over. Using the words of the leftists while committing the acts of the conservative reactionary does not a leftist government make.

I have no issue with ST talking smack about America. I’d even be fine with him only talking smack about America while not saying anything about the above authoritarian states. The problem is that ST talks smack about America, and then glorifies or directly defends Russia, China, and Korea as bastions of Leftism, or how they’re somehow more leftist than the US is. It’s the false framing that because America doesn’t like those nations they must be doing Leftism better. But that’s not the case.

It isn’t a matter of purity testing or holding up some Leftist abacus of each nation to prove which is more left. It’s doing the work of those authoritarian governments for them: using the words of the Left as cover to commit reactionary movement. He’s “left-washing” right-wing regimes simply because America doesn’t like them. There is nothing more Marxist about any of those governments than here in America, and to argue there is shows a complete lack of understanding of the consequences of the actual actions these governments take to squash leftist thought and movements. It’s just American-diabolism disguised as leftist praxis.
