Honestly, as much as I used to like this guys (Oliver Thorns) videos, his tone, voice and choice of words always bothered the heck out of me. He sounds like a smug bastard in every one of them, like he's so completely full of himself I wouldn't be surprised if he had narcissistic tendencies.

He few times in videos said that his video-material and words chosen are in a way so people much easier believe what he is saying. Basically he said he is using propagandist works to make his videos more successful and bring him more money. It is kinda funny, because he proclaims to be marxist and socialist, but at same time he is fine on abusing people for personal gain, which is opposite of socialism, and he is not believing in material reality of oppression by becoming transwoman, which is opposite of marxism (as marxism is based on physical reality and ignores any identity and "feels").

I wouldn't be surprised if he had narcissistic tendencies.

Well, he transitioned and now want world focus attention on him, and to get access to female spaces. So there is a lot of narcissism.

That's a rather rosy notion of socialism, which necessarily involves abusing the most productive members of society for the (short-term) personal gain of others--just ask the Kulaks.

Well, it is how people who are promoting communism or socialism are acting, but not how it is supposed to be by ideology itself. Instead of being "capitalism for all" they are becoming "capitalism for us, and rest are like slaves working for us".

If Marxism is a descriptive theory rather than an ideal (i.e. if Marxism is based on physical reality and ignores identity or "feels"), then we should be concerned with the results that attempts to implement it actually produce--which in each and every case, has been a horror that costs millions of lives, and often tens of millions.

EDIT: It's also worth emphasizing that, according to the article you linked to, Lenin regarded state capitalism as the second-to-last step in a society's transformation into the Marxist-Lenenist utopia. This is important, because even if it's not "true socialism", it's not a complete aberration of socialist ideals, either; it's a necessary step in the process of socialist revolutions. Consequently, it still lays the tens of millions of deaths of Russians, Chinese, Cambodians, and Venezuelans at the feet of socialism.

I am pretty sure no ideology makes complete sense or any sense at all.

'Ideology' according to marxism describes the opposite of marxism: false consciousness, cultural hegemony.

He likens being a man like being in a job you don't like, then argues that the only way he can be happy is if we re-define woman to include him – he's narcissistic alright. It's like these people have never been through puberty.
