JT, Yugopnik, Hakim. On behalf of our Russian comrades, we will be glad to see you at an interview with Konstantin in one of the episodes "по-живому".

"I didn't have that phase because the Americans came to me" - I almost choked 💀🤣
He's mentioned Alexey Safronov, definitely check him out if you're interested in planning in Soviet economics. Prime Numbers has a subtitled video of his about Gosplan (he does a series for them, but it looks like they've only subtitled that one in English). There's plenty to learn and there are crazy stories of Bolsheviks trying to put together stuff that works. Very detailed and insightful coverage of a vast topic that tends to be less known and often looked down on (for the lack of knowledge) in Western leftist sources.
Second Thought should find their video about Baltic states and make his own. Many of his commenter write that for Chezch, Poland and Baltics statea capitalism is good, but they don't know, how they are deindustrialised and how the EU has to pay for their 'wealth'.
Will do towarisch! Always open for an international perspective!
@@deddosbizarreadventure3571 You're not going to regret this, too bad all of his stuff isn't translated into English!
@@keiralum1797 This is a huge topic, and I think vital to taking apart today's capitalism in the first world, because these countries are essentially poster children for post-Perestroika/EU neoliberal policies. Privatisation, fake privatisation (when state-owned companies remain state-owned, but are forced to behave as if they're private), financialisation of everything imaginable, creation of shittons of private bureaucracy (every doctor is an LLC now! Consumer choice!), the whole works. Socdem-style benefits are still there, but are too ingrained in the expectations of the people (thanks, anti-freedom Bolshevik occupiers!) to be abolished outright. The UK/US hellscape is still ultimately the goal for the ruling elite.
This is compounded by this region having been soaked with propaganda, and the average person sincerely thinks that any kind of national/ethnic self-determination equals neoliberalism, while the analysis of the Soviet Union is done from solely a nationalist perspective (USSR = Russian Empire), instead of the more appropriate internationalist one. I live in the Baltics, and it seems that in order for any kind of left-wing goverment to get in power here, you'd probably need for the EU to have a socialist revolution in it first, and then to very ironically annex us. 😅
@@emperorspock3506 They are translated, partially. Find "Prime Numbers" on youtube, its an English-wing of their russian channel that have translation of their main videos.

Socialism or barbarism: everyone has to make a choice. Continue your fight, comrade. Good luck, JT. Big greetings from Russia from like-minded people!!!
Nothing says "Russian marxist" like a warning and hearty sigh followed by wise words and cautious optimism.
Exactly! But this should be the motivation to agitprop even more. Only we (together) can stop this mindless bloodshed! It doesn't matter if you're a trotzkist, a "stalinist" or an anarchist, we should defy the hegemonic powers! Right here, right now !!

At 10:26 - Konstantin talks about Camden, NJ, and his impression of how similar it looks to the rural provincial Russian suburbs. I'm a Russian immigrant. For about a year I lived near this area, in a small town called Delran. But since the nearest bank office was in Camden, I had the pleasure of going there quite often. ANS THIS! This is exactly what I thought when I've been there! It felt even more surreal in the contrast with my fellow Eastern European immigrants who still were standing their ground on the point that's all still better than being in Russia. That was the time when my illusory cards' house started to fall apart and I began to realize that the country isn't the problem.
I'm fom the United States and my dad likes watching vloggers and other countries kind of see what's going on there, anyways we've been watching a bunch from Russia and he'll be talking about how rough some of these places look and it's like Dad that looks exactly like our town.
Camden is rough. There are no jobs. Mo buisnesses. Houses are empty and broken down. With no job prospects people either suffee or go hungry or start trapping. Whats sad is that rutgers and rowan both dont invest in the community but rob them. With Rutgers camden they produce new young professionals. But they all leave camden and dont give back to community. So its empty. This is all due to industry jobs that employed most men where shipped to the 3rd world in the 70s. Leaving most people poor and then into trapping and drug dealing which created the many crackheads you see on the street.
Hello from uzbek maxsist
whats up gergian tankie is here
Suggestion for comrade Syomin if he happens to check the comments: add subtitles for your videos, me myself would be very interested to hear more from Russian marxist's perspective. Solidarity from Finland!
Much love to our Finnish neighbors from Russia)
I strongly recommend the best (made in Russian) study in the Internet on Fascism with eng subs th-cam.com/video/V50tTfRgYyE/w-d-xo.html (the whole playlist touches upon socioeconomic and historical origins of fascism in Poland, Italy, Japan and Germany)
and the one in english th-cam.com/video/oyJTv_qLqsI/w-d-xo.html
Just in case you haven't yet heard of other Russian Marxists, the most popular TH-camrs are: Klim Zhukov (599 thousand subscribers), Oleg Komolov (Prime Numbers, 297 subscribers on the Russian-language channel, but he has an English-language channel, too), Yegor Ivanov (plohoysignal or tubushow, 281 thousand), and many others (for example, Vestnik Buri, Remi Meisner, etc. ).
@@andrey-uf1tg Реми Майснер марксист?
@@VocalBear213 да, в отличие от того же троцкиста Рудного.
Omg, Konstantin's accent is so *real*! If you ever want to do a Russian accent in English, for theatre, shits and giggles, or whatever, copy his!
Try to watch Konstantin's earliest videos, for instance, his diploma work, or reportages, when he worked at „Russia 1” channel's department in USA: he had spoken English better at that time.
I thought his accent is very good, now after your words I'm afraid to think what does my russian accent sound like, which I consider much worse 😆
@@studijasymrov7630 He is really well-spoken in English now, and that's kind of the point: his accent is pretty much a perfect representation of what kind of accent a Russian person who speaks reasonably fluent English would have. Because whenever you hear someone do a Russian accent, it's either something completely ridiculous, or something much closer to Yugopnik's accent (not entirely unexpected, since there is a history of using Yugoslavians to represent Russians in Western pop culture).
Konstantin's accent is as thin as it can get, honestly. As a person who can't distinguish accents well I probably wouldn't even identify it as Russian.
@@studijasymrov7630 Obviously since he was working in English every day back then. It's pretty common for foreign correspondents to develop a alight foreign accent in their own language even.
When the theme starts to play up, you know Hakim is gonna say something based.
I would be interested in helping make English subtitles for his videos if he is interested
Do it
He has mostly too Russian-oriented content for the average American viewer. Although it's still nice to see him as a guest on this podcast.
@@Торговецложками you’re probably right. Maybe Vestnik Buri would be better to translate

Wow, now I can tell people I was listening to this channel before it became popular )))
Hopefully popular as an important piece to the global socialist revolution!!😢
Kostya sounds so tired. Not surprisingly considering what's happening, but still, not used to hearing him like this
Don't forget the time difference, bro. It could be late night or early morning at Moscow.
"It doesn't have to be a disaster if there is a government that cares about its' people."
...Well, there's the problem.
This has been probably stated a lot but even though I love the more "light hearted" episodes, this is absolutely one of the best episodes.
We need more analysis one current events from marxist all around the globe and I hope that you will do more episodes like this! We need agitprop! especially now more than ever!!! You three always do a great Job educating but this episode in particular was especially important. Thank you for your hard and needed work!!! I will engage in agitprop to best of my abilities!!
Workers of the world unite!!!!!✊️✊️✊️
(I apologise if there is any bad grammar, I am only a dumb German :))
Also slightly drunk... ;)
I am Russian, but I have a lot of respect for Germans (ordinary people), despite what happened in 1941-1945. Then ordinary Germans were well brainwashed, they then realized their mistake. Russia and Germany must be allies! IMHO(In My Honest Opinion).
WOOOW, AWESOME. The Marxists around the world are making links! I am following Konstantin closely and his work. maybe one day you'll get Komolov for an economic analysis as well.
Or Klim Sanych. This is literally a Yugopnik 80 lvl with a higher education.
@@Торговецложками nice description, I almost spilled my vodka. If I'd have to choose between the two though, I'd pick Komolov over Zhukov, cuz those two baboons (Zhukov and Yugopnik) would turn the episode into an ork fest. Besides, Komolov is based beyond measure, he's probably more important for the Russian left than Syomin.
I'd also like to see an episode with Boris Yulin and everyone talking should use Google-translate from their native language and show it on screen, so that episode will get views from both countries simultaneously. Not to say it should be hilarious to watch
@@vadimk3484 I'd say Syomin is the door to more dry and technical, but very informational resources. I believe Syomin speaks in a more common language without giving up on the sharpness of the propaganda. Newcomers to revolutionary left ideas might be lost in the technicalities of Komolov, that are important non the less.
I would love to see more exchange between marxists from different countries, especially from russia too.
Edit: Ukrainian Comrades too, I really would love it

What does Viki1999 have to contribute to the conversation? She has no background, doesn't understand theory, isn't even a marxist. Her video on the cold war is decent but everything else is frankly terrible.

This episode is such a serious one, but considering the worrying state of what's going on, you can't blame Konstantin.
There was some other unusual thing: Comrade Syomin was always against using curse words, unlike the Hakim, what he mentioned in of the deprogramme's podcast; but still Konstantin without any hesitation or caution words recommended to watch the trio of Hakim, Yugopnik, and Second Thought channel.
This is an important episode! It should motivate to take matters into our own hands and abolish the capitalist system at once!!
No more trotzkists, stalininsts or anarchists! These discussions can wait, instead we should defeat our common enemy first and foremost!
Agitate even more comrades! We cannot let nazis and ultra nationalists win, we can and will present our ideology simply! Educating is important but in this case we have to fight fire with fire!!
Workers of the world unite!!!✊️✊️
@@deddosbizarreadventure3571 its good but there is only one tiny "BUT". To unite, you need firstly know unite around what idea and with whom. Or not?
It's Syomin's usual alarmism and pessimism caused by doomscrolling content he's been working on years.
I'm anglo Saxon and I'm afraid it's true.. we do do satanic rituals often, but not on a Friday!.
and i, for one, am happy that someone said something about the world war 3 very probably ahead of us. i don't know why we don't give it more importance and maybe organize, all in our respective countries so at least something good comes after it, like socialist countries, and of course, we should work to prevent it, if possible.
Exactly!! Stop the discussion for now, we as anti capitalist, it doesn't matter if you're an anarchist or communist, should unite right now! The debating can continue after we have freed the people from danger!
Reviving the anti war movement and/or getting involved with the union movement are really your best options if you’re an american leftist who wants to do anything useful imo.
There will be a lot of comments with Russian nicknames. Well, I'm just warning you.

i still think dugin is a crazy old philosopher and not important to anyone certainly not the government. putin certainly doesn't run his every move by him as suggested by westerners lol. as for the guys writing ZA DUGINU (for dugina) on the missiles - i mean, their enemies got a girl, their girl, a big deal was made of it and the boys avenged it, it happens in wars. i honestly doubt they read dugin or think of him any way other than a russian, intellectual, one of their own. don't blow dugin's importance out of proportion please :D
Yeah, he's just a convenient disposable freak. As long as he's useful, he's going to be all over the media (although he'll always be more niche than mainstream propagandists), and afterwards he'll be discarded and forgotten.
Fuck, this was educational! Konstantin was a great guest.
As a child of Cuban parents, I wish I could hear about the history of Cuba from a perspective that is not reflexively hostile against socialism due to their negative experiences from the Castro regime from another Cuban.
You are absolutely right!! We need more international voices and this is a great platform to start with
Season 2 of the podcast Blowback is about the Cuban revolution. One of the most thoroughly researched shows on the topic I’m aware of. Their telling of the history is inspiring and completely unlike anything you’ll hear from the average Miami gusano.

no, by 1980 there were only a handful of people who believed in communism, everyone was tired of it
@@Karton142everyone was tired of revisionism 😅😅😅 ur really tired of one of the best pension systems backed up by the democratic worker state
I hope some multi-lingual comrades get in touch with Konstantin after hearing that bit at the end about him needing to create content in other languages. Something as simple as people volunteering to subtitle his existing back catalogue of videos would go a very long way to extending his reach.
Manifesto of the Communist Party (K. Marx/F. Engels) by Konstantin has English subtitles.
Very true! I hope our Russian comrades will help us. Long live the Internationale!!
I think Dugin is quite popular guy in Marine Le Pen's far right party, there was a panel where bunch of nazis from across the world collected + Caleb Maupin (idk if he is nazi, make up your mind). There were lot of french far right people around him.
Konstantin talking about dugin reminded me of the "philosopher" olavo de carvalho here in Brazil, people saw him as a joke but his political project brought very serious damage like denialism during COVID, he died, but his legacy continues, it is up to our comrades to bury "cultural olavism"
This ep was pretty interesting, especially for a baby leftist myself l, but it was so funny seeing the boys try to force funny then it hitting a brick wall

Wow. I’d been looking for something like that for almost three years and finally Konstantin Syomin led me here. Hello everyone, interesting channel!
Support for socialists over the world. Russian comrades are here. :) Thank you for trying building bridges!
I'm from Louisiana and I cannot even begin to describe what it's like living here, Louisiana state government has basically been 200 years of post-soviet kleptocracy combined with one of the most horrifying racial regimes in the world. I will say the erosion is a somewhat more complicated material issue it's brought about by placing levees along the Mississippi and its tributaries, which on the one hand basically makes civilization possible as the areas aren't constantly destroyed by flood but also remove the silt that replenishes the wetlands. There is some work being done to try to remove levees in certain out of the way locations to allow silt to flow back in however I am not remotely optimistic.
JT, Hakim and Yougopnik, please find the time for an interview with Syomin. A lot of social-shauvinists are spreading their views on a necessity to support their domestic bourgeoisie because there is currently no internationalist solidary movement, and being anti war necessarily means surrendering to the bourgeoisie on the other side. This interview weakens this argument in the English speaking medium. The same has to be done and is even more important in Russia and Ukraine, where people are more easily scared into that support, as they face the horrors more closely.
down with capitalism imperialism!NO PASARAN!
I love JT as much as the next guy but he seriously needs to do more research on Katrina lmao. Katrina was not a mere "tropical storm" on its approach to New Orleans. It, in fact, was already a Category 5 storm and only weakened down to a C3 on its northward approach to the city. Everything else said in that segment was completely 100% valid. Love Konstantin. Great show as always.
International Revolution! Hi from Russian communist's! Lenin isn't dead! We all remember
Perhaps short and capacious news clips like Constantine's will help comrades from the United States.
I mean the news releases "gallop across Europe"
This guy is the real deal, no nonsense or humor and straight to the point. Maybe he's a bit too cynical, but given the situation Russia is in right now, I cannot blame him in the slightest.
My question is how would a system prevent itself from falling into revisionism, I’d say the USSR and the PRC are socialist states that have fallen for revisionism.
Controversial opinion but I think a lot of the issue revolves around US hegemony - until the US ceases in its international intermingling and pursuit of cultural dominance, it will be very difficult to establish a stable anti-capitalist governance. There's some potential in a widespread and unified resistance of multiple world powers ala BRICS, but I think it will ultimately take revolution in the US before anything lasting AND ideologically potent will be able to take a foothold.
I do think the Zapatistas in Chiapas are offering an admirable example for co-existence in the meantime, even if they're struggling under the boot of both national and international power.
@@CraigKeidel
Revolution in the US is highly unlikely so much in fact that it’s not something to bet on, not only are the people opposed to it but the government is powerful enough in covert operations and military that a successful revolution is almost impossible. Frankly the best approach is to cut the US off from the rest of the world and isolate them similar to what they did to the USSR which is slowly happening, with Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia opposed to working with the US and open to China. It could happen quickly and may be achieved in our lifetimes or a hundred years from now either way capitalism will fall eventually it will never escape communism since communism is the shadow of capitalism that it can never escape
Going through all of these in order and Konstantin was definitely my favorite guest so far. Great episode!
Respect from Russia! You have a cool project!
An excellent episode! Konstantin is by far the most eloquent and ardent Communist propagandist in Russian. He should get a lot more exposure internationally!

Absolutely!! Our diversity and the international mindset is what makes us strong. A global socialist/communist revolution is the only way to defy fascists and large scale war between nations. We, the proletariat, should not suffer because of capitalist interest. Now more than ever we should agitate inside our own nations to build a glorious socialist nation!
No more beefing about the past, this can and should wait! We need our anarchist, trotzkists and other comrades more than ever.
While we disagree on a lot of things, the most important thing we agree on that the capitalist system should be no more. Therefore we should abolish it fist!

@@nikasamwkusvili9345 Hi! I post 2 answers with links, but they dissap... So, if you dont afraid auto-translaited subtitles, take a note: "Простые Числа" - all about economic, strong academic speakers, Konctantin spoken about; "РФУ" - our comrades from Ukraine; "КрасноBY" - my home city group %-) ; "Держать Курс" - heavy documentary on fashism, the most popular on Krupp was translated; "Вестник бури" - take a look on Dugin episode, its hillarios; and much more niche groups, but this my favorites. Also, did you heard about "TheFinnishBolshevik" ? Ofc, he is finnish, but wery based and have soviet-related materials on channel. With proletarian regards
@@Xamsteriks thanks a lot comrade
Yugopnik was definitely thinking he was making a faux pas to Syomin, accidentally insulting him by saying he wasn't being funny enough, but I think Syomin didn't take offense at all and was thinking maybe he was being too dark.
Best crossover of universes. Had no idea they knew each other.
also, Not just bikes just referred to second thought's video in his latest one.
I am going to be that annoying "Ackchyually" guy for a sec, but only to help create the most accurate representation of events. I might sound like a jerk, but I sincerely don't mean it -
JT (much love to you), I have heard you say this a couple times here (7:10) and in your most recent Second Thought video, so I want to specifically point this out - Hurricane Katrina did make landfall in the northern Gulf Coast as an upper end Category 3 hurricane. While New Orleans itself did not experience the most intense wind speeds from the storm, there is evidence that the city felt sustained category 1 wind speeds.
Also, as I think you mentioned this in your recent video, but I wanted to mention that the winds are often not even the most destructive parts of hurricanes, as in the case of Katrina, so the Saffir-Simpson scale (the hurricane category) kind of misrepresent the potential damage some hurricanes can cause.
There are also some other more technical things that made Katrina an exceptional event. Regardless of all that, I feel the argument you are making holds up well.
Some good reputable reading can be found here: www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL122005_Katrina.pdf
Love the show, you guys, you all do awesome work. Thanks for helping me in my leftist education.
Thanks for the add-on
the thumbnail says episode 52 lol
For understanding socialist economy it is necessary to know the pioneers of planning: Hesin, Strumilin and bourgeois experience of monopolisation too.
Great episode! Super informative very engaging I appreciate this man’s experience so much. Thanks for bringing this content to the people!
Красный Американец, это настолько большая редкость, что я даже не знаю с чем сравнить!
Syomin seems like a rather miserable fellow, not that his opinions are invalid
i would be miserable too living in the crumbling USSR and watching modern Russia slowly devolve into fascism, still love the guy tho
Why?

Интернациональный привет от русского рабочего!
This might be one of my most favourite episodes thus far. Thank you!
Well... Here on Chile we had sort of a revolution, it failed due to democracy, long story short: We had it with the abuse of the bourgeoisie since the fall of an US sponsored dictatorship back in the 90s, we put the country to its knees and their precious armed forces (from the most noob cop to the most veteran commando) but instead of bathing ourselves in enemy blood we fell for a democratic trap that was supposed to erase the CIA imposed contitution US gave us back in the 90s to write a new one ourselves, we did, but thanks to the bourgeoisie putting every penny into it 62% of the capitalist-brain-washed peasants voted against it without even knowing they shot everyone of us in the foot... So much blood spilled for nothing.
But the point I'm trying to make is... We jumped on hope, we were not prepared, NO ONE is ever prepared for a change of this magnitude but...We get on with it regardless. Despite defeat I'm trying to be a humanist, that our kind has a future, a brilliant one. After all, capitalism want me defeated so... Even if it only serves to be a pain their ass, let's be hopeful and take chances.
