      It DOES NOT MATTER which good or bad people claimed to approve or disapprove of your political theory. Your theory should stand on its own merit, from history and logic. You shouldn't have to resort to "My argument is valid because Einstein said it's valid and he's a very smart boy".

      @@andrewcleary9952 i agree that we shouldnt only appeal to authority, but we shouldn't pretend that arguing history doesn't end up eventually coming to that at some point anyways. the issue with this line of think is that it's pretty idealist - these political theories aren't just free floating up in the realm of ideas ready to do battle with other ideas, they pop up from history of ideological based struggle, which in turn comes from people and their material conditions
      the idea that a theory even can stand on its own merit is useless if we aren't considering the material conditions and actual, real struggles that occurred leading to the development of these theories and how they lend them merit.
      the point about appeals to authority is fine, and i think it's important that we don't rely on it TOO much because it can cause you to essentially hinge your theory on dead folks, but i don't think it's overusing an appeal to authority to point out that people involved in extremely relevant historical struggle share a common viewpoint with you, ESPECIALLY if your opponent is arguing that it's immoral and incorrect
      to simplify: appealing to historically and theoretically relevant historical figures, who through their history of struggle contributed to the development of your political theory is totally fine, ESPECIALLY if your opponent is attempting to paint their contributions to the theory and their very real struggle as irrelevant to the conversation.
      i actually think vaush had a decent rebuttal when he started to talk about appealing to people in the present day. i mean, i think that ultimately there is a case for reintegrating past socialist attempts and historical figures into the public consciousness and dispelling cold war propaganda, but at least if they continued that line of discussion it could have lead to something that is more future-looking than just trying to talk past one another
      of course i think that particular discussion is only really relevant for some countries in the present day, since the prevailing attitude in a LOT of countries, particularly those with a strong socialist/communist presence, the topic of socialist states and historical socialism is a lot more nuanced

      Chris Wittekind It seems you may have misinterpreted the reasoning behind why Caleb references those figures. He clearly wanted to point out how disregarding everybody just as tankies is not helpful due to big historical movements being alligned with the soviet party in the past. Look, throughout the video Caleb was on defense trying to respond to the bunches of attacks vaush was making spreading from topic to topic. But in between all of the “defensive” positions Caleb said he does not want to be a soviet or Chinese apologist, but to look at the movements from the lens of historical progression. Words like “tankies” serve the same purpose muddying the water the same way Jordan Peterson muddies the water when he calls anybody to the left of center “postmodern neomarxists”. It is a term that is used disengenusly to discredit historical progress of marxism. We as leftists need to study all of the revolutionary movements and examine the good and bad, understand the antagonisms to better our own movements in the future. Labeling all people like Caleb as tankies just to ignore the examining of historical progress of marxism, is ANTITHETICAL to what marxism is.

      @Chris Pacheco No it's not. If there are worker cooperatives that act in a free market system, then that system is still capitalism since the economy still operates on profits. You would still have all the inherent problems of capitalism under such an economy.
      Marxian socialism aims to get rid of markets, in favor of central planning. Now obviously, the ways to get there have been tried in different ways throughout history, with some countries going straight to central planning, whereas others gradually build up their material conditions first in order to transition into Marxian socialism (ala China). The fact is, the countries that are on a path towards socialism and have a vanguard party which controls the state are usually the ones to define what "socialism" is. Understanding this will help you understand what "socialism" actually is to the millions of people who have died trying to achieve it in a world full of imperialists.
