Is this one of those Nazbols that I’ve heard about?
Not so fun fact in addition to everything else said about him, he used to post here for a bit before I think he was banned which may be why he’s such a hate filled piece of shit
He may actually be the only real enemy of Hexbear who knows we exist
That checks out.
Was it the sub or here? I would have been technically paying attention to it at the time but, my memory is foggy?
Yes. If you still don’t know much about it, please take my serious word on this and keep it that way. Save yourself
I’ve heard about him but, never heard a word from his mouth. I usually just place him in the same box of deplorables as
and Mr. Botticelli. All annoying Internet guys who have toxic fandoms.Good rule of thumb
In the American context, Adam “Haz” Tahir is more like a neo-Laroucheite
Here’s a good overview of that from RevLeftRadio and Donald Parkinson, who btw namedrops Adam “Haz” Tahir when talking about these kinds of cults: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NhVKmHN1i4
Although he is more of a neo-larouchite, he has ideological overlap with nazbols in that he has interviewed and praised Dugin, one of the cofounders along with Limonov of the National Bolshevik Party (Nazbols) who were a subculture movement in Russia after the collapse of the USSR. They called themselves a party but nothing really ever came of them politically. I don’t know much about them. Their flag incorporated nazi aesthetics (the red field and white circle of the third reich flag, with the black swastika replaced by a hammer and sickle) but I’ve been told on some occasions it was just edgelord counter-cultural punk rock shock jock stuff. I don’t believe that, but I’m not going to go too in depth because I’m not Russian and haven’t done extensive research on them.
Anyway Haz is also always pushing for people to read Heidegger, an unrepentant nazi philosopher, as being “essential” to understanding Marx. Whenever Heidegger’s nazi affiliations are brought up he claims they are “irrelevant” (somehow) to his philosophy.

I’d go with classifying him as a neo-larouchite as you stated. It fits more with the American context that his reactionary thinking is rooted in.
Anybody who throws their lot in with Dugin should be at least warned and avoided if they are unable to be saved. I watched a series of videos by Derick Varn where he goes through Dugin’s writings to critique them and he points out Dugin explicitly states that he wants to recruit leftists to his 4th positionist movement. We should especially be wary of these folks trying to get their foot in the door by inserting themselves into any discussions that are had on the left about what a multipolar world would mean for the future. It seems like that’s the angle they try to hook leftists at the moment.
Heidegger is always a big red flag to me.

Got a Playlist for that?
No playlist but, I’ll make a list of links in the reply. They’re quite long given Varn’s digressions (something I nonetheless appreciate). He goes through Fourth Political Theory line by line in these. It will take a long time to listen through them.
Part 1 https://youtube.com/watch?v=Mq9TNmwqt_A
Part 2 https://youtube.com/watch?v=s89ptcymZqI
Part 3 https://youtube.com/watch?v=U9r4Znw4B_w
Part 4 https://youtube.com/watch?v=RRpSFYGxUfI
I listened to parts 0, 1, and a bit of 2. You weren’t kidding about the digressions. They made it hard for me to pay attention. Kind of annoying how the host keeps shitting on AES and “Stalinism” the whole way through.
I wish he made some sort of condensed outline for this stuff. I’d imagine he’d have experience with that sort of teaching, given that he teaches high school.
I think he tries to be fair about the Chinese, he’s given some legitimate criticisms of some of the deficiencies they’ve had in domestic policy over the years and how the current leadership trying to rectify that. He’s doesn’t speak of it as something revolutionary though, describing Xi’s rural investment policies as the Great Society coming to China.
He’s speaks positively about the Cubans as well.
I also think it’s good that he reminds us to not be so pie in the sky about the developing multipolar geopolitical situation. Anything could come of it, depending on what we make of it. I appreciate his commentary on that.
Thanks for putting in the effort to find them, I’ll endeavor to listen to them after work.

4th positionist
It’s really funny he calls it this because it’s just 3rd positionist with extra steps
It’s the aversion that Russian nationalism has to the aesthetics of historical Fascism. They can’t be seen to be siding with the people who tried to bring settler-led genocide to Russia.
My first exposure to this dipshit was when YT randomly recommended me his speech “Occupied States of America”. I thought reading the title of the speech, “Oh, is this gonna be about how the United States is built on stolen land seized by broken and coercive treaties?”, but then I listened to the speech for a while and I realized, “Yeah, this guy is just a confident orator who does not know a damn thing about what he’s talking about, fuck’im”
i’m rolling amd im not going to read this. i found quora and lesbian insertions in my slime’s macbook air history earlier. im going to put on youtubes of gibbons
just missing a balcony to complete the look
patsocs are just reinventing labor Zionism but with American characteristics.
Edit: also this is a fundamental part of their identity, every one of their public faces you see is objectively an out of touch bigot who more closely caucas with open Strasserites and nazbols than they do with any workplace.
Edit 2: as far as I’m concerned, any accusation they make against any communist party in America is projection
the comparison to labour zionism is interesting. never thought of it like that.
He used to post here. Don’t pay him any attention, he’s just an online weirdo
Unfortunately I don’t think this guy is just an online weirdo. He goes on RT. He goes on Chinese TV. He goes to Trump rallies and interviews people. His political tendencies are Larouchite and these quasi-communist reactionaries have existed in American politics for decades. He’s a symptom of a larger problem, which is reactionary encirclement and distortion of revolutionary talking points.

We should especially heed this part. We should always remember that Fascist ideologues like Mussolini and Sorel used revolutionary sounding language to push for reinforcement of the capitalist power structure under the aegis of a militarized nation state.
and it’s especially interesting that Mussolini was revealed to be on the payroll of British Intelligence during his rise to power. So Italian fascism seems to have been a deliberate British “psy op” to kill Italian Socialism in its cradle. Fascism at its core was bankrolled by Anglo-American capitalists and government officials until they needed to do an about face and “save the world” from the monster they had created by assisting the USSR.
Yup. The USA has been so right wing and propagandized in recent decades that people like him weren’t even necessary, but I would expect more of this as neoliberalism breaks down.
:wack:
He used to post here.
Særr?!
I corroborate that since I got to bully him personally

Trust me, we’re definitely socialists. It’s even there in the name: Nationalsozialistische
Call their entire leadership the Strass bros
Strass-o-sphere -
I’ve seen several posts about this loser recently. I thought he was basically discredited years ago?
Just statistically, there are people with some seriously odd beliefs. These can be amplified easily online. Not to get into conspiracy territory, but I wouldn’t be surprised if algorithms push him and other ‘MAGA communists’ because a) libs can point to him and pretend horseshoe theory is real b) this is basically identical to Nazism
I think capital inaugurates, consciously or not, right deviationist quasi-socialists like “natsocs”, “patsocs”, “magacommunists”, and “nazbols”, in order to divide and conquer the rising, organizing proletariat. They want to give the working class an identity crisis and start questioning whether socialism is objectively, inherently, permanently chauvinist or not when it comes to superstructural issues. Netanyahu took a similar but not quite related to socialism “divide and conquer” rhetorical tact last week when he told Congress “Gays for Gaza is like Chickens for KFC” and the right wing press applauded this, as if they or Netanyahu has ever cared about gay people.
Who’s gonna tell him communism is a left ideology ?
They love little rhetorical tricks like showing you the front cover of “Left-Wing” Communism: An Infantile Disorder by Lenin but not citing anything Lenin actually said in that book and ignoring the specific early 20th century Russian political context in which it was written. They also love citing random homophobic incidents from people like Stalin in the 40s or Castro in the 60s, and acting as though that means Communism as a political movement must permanently have a heteronormative socially conservative superstructure. They love to do vulgar “workerism” which is where you idealize the “normal” “average” worker and project that as a moral ethic that the rest of society should strive towards. They love to do growth fetishism and treat reproduction and “family units” as a part of the proletariat’s “duties” to the
capitalist classtotally socialist society they envision.
Gotta be an op
Hinkle Tinkle is def an op, but I think Haz is just really fucking dumb
that’s probably the type of person who ends up being an asset lol, look at alex jones
but yeah i can’t really tell, sometimes the nonsense spewed by this type seems locally rational (like I can sort of see the connections they’re making) but other times it can feel much more deliberately crafted to hit certain talking points or come across a certain way to its intended demographics.
Like a difference between bottom-up home-grown organic brainworms versus top-down focus-grouped psyop brainworms.
I’m sad that Midwestern Marx fell in with these chumps
Nothing says “my ideology is gibberish” like equating the LGBTQ community with the ruling class
wherever i walk cissies bow down and cower at my boots, afraid i might choose to lay my gaze upon them and destroy their livelihoods, their family, their gods, and their way of life
They love to flash pictures of imperialist pinkwashers performatively holding a rainbow flag at a NATO conference or whatever and going “SEE SEE LGBT IS AN ELITIST THINK TANK!!!”
They think this is a very effective talking point for some reason.
Stonewall was famously done by super rich people and not poor queers who were just trying to be queer in their own city
Yeah it’s like, Peter Thiel exists, but he is the exception, not the rule. And he probably wouldn’t even be where he is if he wasn’t a white cis man.
I do want a “Do what you will shall be the whole of the law”, “anything goes” culture actually. I’m for my fellow freaks and fruits, and indeed extremely against heteronormative society as I could not exist within its confines. The sort of framework heteronormative society imposes and the attendant expectations of such a structure, notably, represent a major control vector for rightward forces. In bucking those mechanisms, I jettison a way they could exert influence over me. If any of these guys have a problem with that, I cordially invite them to lick my sweaty asshole.
I’m not enough of a dumbass to go vouching for an environment where I and the only people I get along with couldn’t exist, anyhow.
Also I like how he points out that “They have a flag” as if it’s of any significance, when anyone can make a flag for any reason. Shit, fictitious countries from books, movies, and games have flags. Shops sometimes advertise sales with types of flags.
