In my opinion anything youtube pushes is not leftist by default. They just kinda want progressive politics because it makes more money.
Maybe in terms of ESG. They sure as hell aren't getting money otherwise, especially not with fatigue setting in.
But let's be honest, the whole idea that progressivism, or identity politics, is a tool used by the capitalists to subvert leftist movements is leftypol cope.
Neo marxists actually understand this far better than old-school leftists do: culture matters a hell of a lot more than economic, or materialistic matters. That's something that neo-liberals, ancaps, and old-school marxists and leftists will never, EVER understand, and why they will always fail or be subverted by their enemies.
That's why they decided to move onto other forms of conflict other than class-based conflict, they didn't succeed in stirring up contention between economic classes in the west (especially not in America, and especially not when both capitalists and government officials decided to actually GIVE the unions what they demanded), so they decided that racial conflict, or conflict based on other things like religion, gender, or alternative lifestyles, would be much easier.
Identity politics or neo-marxism isn't a new development by scheming capitalists who wanted to subvert and weaken the Occupy Wall Street movement either. Such ideologies were invented by the Frankfurt School, and were widespread amongst the left during the 60s and 70s, especially the SDS and Weather Underground. Anti-white racism, "anti-colonialism," hell, they even outright expressed contempt for the white working class because they were so "reactionary."
Sure, it could be argued that the Frankfurt School wanted identity politics and other aspects of woke politics to be a part of an acceleration campaign (to encourage and amplify what they saw to be the worst excesses of capitalism so that it would implode on itself), but most leftists don't see it that way. They genuinely believe that critical race theory, pornography classes for children, homosexuality, crossdressing, and anarcho-tyranny are genuinely left-wing movements to get behind.
They can't accept the possibility that they serve no purpose but to subvert society. In other words, accelerationism. And old-school, class-based marxists are entirely unwilling to move beyond class conflict, despite their inability to actually create any class warfare EXCEPT through the accelerationism I just described. Despite the fact that "It's the economy, stupid," is an extremely myopic way to see the world, the main reason why communist revolutions never got off the ground except in the most backwards of countries, contrary to what Marx predicted.
Leftypol leftists lose because they cannot move beyond purely materialistic explanations for anything that happens in society. Woke neo-marxists lose because they're tools by corporate authoritarians and self-righteous capitalists who know damned well that these stupid rich kids care more about "social justice" and faggot "rights" than about the actual working class or about poorer countries across the world.
Any high ideal that marxists claim to fight for, no matter what denomination they belong to, is nothing but a smokescreen, a mirage that they use as an excuse to tear everyone else down to their level. Hence why all it takes for marxists to return to their vomit, even after being proven wrong time and time again, are stupid words games like "not real communism." It's happening now, and it's nothing short of hilarious that even woke leftists are being dismissed as "not real communism" as it's becoming increasingly clear that they're useful idiots for state capitalists.
You know, like very single communist revolutionary ever.
