i suspect that social media influencers like this guy are the only light keeping socialism alive in the west and the fact that we can practically hear crickets chirping as a response to this video goes to show how thoroughly poisoned this well is and how long it will take before adoption is widespread.

He says that anarchism isnt possible after capitalism....

And Imma keep it 💯 with yall, who here can prove to me that anarchism isnt next? (and no I dont mean anarcho-capitalism or any of the other dumbass fascistic forms of anarchism - I meam forreal FORREALS anarchism)

Im not saying that anarchism is better than communism. Id say Im more of an anarcho-communist as I see grassroots movements , even grassroots counterrevolutionary movements , as more useful than authoritarian ones from a few leaders . I just feel that it is better for each of the peoole to think for themselves, consult researchers or their own research for themselves, AND to act collectively or even not act based on what they themselves feel rather than what a community leader or group of community leaders tells them to feel. To be completely honest the main reason I am an communist rather than an anarchist is cause I feel that collective violent groups of communists will be better at imprisoning, and re-educating middle aged fascists than collective, violent groups of anarchists.

I think you've kind of answered your own question here. A militant worker movement needs planning and organization so that everyone to pulls together in the same direction. Anarchism rejects effective methods of organization that have been proven to work, and as a result has little to show for itself in over a century of all types of anarchist movements giving it a go.

Is there really no difference between socialism and communism? 🤔

obviously there is. He is technically contradicting himself because he both says that socialism is the transitionary phase towards communism and that they are the same. It cannot be both. You cannot use A as a tool to get towards B if A and B are the same. Then you don’t have to do anything because you are already there.

As an agitation and basic explanation though, he’s doing a really good job.

Yes, socialism is the transitional stage when the working class takes power in society, but existing capitalist relations have not been yet abolished.

When youre dealing with humans? Utopia is impossible unless youre speaking of the afterlife , as far as Im concerned. So no, obviously communism wont be utopian. NOTHING on this planet will ever be utopian. HOWEVER communism will be more closer to utopianism than whatever the fuck we have going on rigjt now becausee itll be easierr to restrict the powers of, trial , and execute assholes like musk , trump, biden, obama, hemedti, prince ibn, benjamin mileikowsky , etc.... (basically all these criminals) and their bribed cronies.
