    Are you guys just now learning that West is a nutjob grifter? He repeatedly calls himself a “Non-Marxist Socialist” because he doesn’t believe that his Christian belief and Marxism are reconcilable. What even is a “Non-Marxist Socialist”?

    He quite literally wrote an entire essay defending DeSantis for being a “Revolutionary Defender of the Working Class” for defending “classic education”. This man is a MAGA communist at best, or a neolib lying through his teeth.

    He also speaks out regularly against “left wing cancel culture”. Meaning he subscribes to right wing talking points and garbage hoaxes. He also announced his presidential bid on the Russel Brand podcast of all places… a podcast known for hosting QAnon figures, Neo Nazis, right wingers, and so on.
