Hi comrade, is something wrong with bad empanada? I watched a few of his and thought it was pretty neat. I am asking because you mention him together with vaush.
I don’t think he’s particularly well versed on politics. iirc he has a bachelors in Latin American history but otherwise he’s essentially just a shitposter with common sense like most of us here and admits as much. Not an intellectual by any means.
He doesn’t acknowledge PRC’s achievements, doesn’t support AES except Cuba (I think) and doesn’t align himself with other anti-imperialists. He attacks journalists critical of the west, I faintly recall a bona fide NED spook quote tweeting BE to attack the Greyzone.
Insofar as he limits himself to attacking rightists, especially the ones claiming to be socialists, he’s fine.
He calls himself socialist, supports LatAm social democracy, and defended Stalin from holodomor lies, but he constantly has bad China takes, and his streaming channel is toxic.
These are big shoes to fill and they will of course be filled by Bad Empanada and Vaush.

Any chance you could tell me what those initialisms mean? Thanks.
Not OP but I believe:
PRC - People’s Republic of China. Self explanatory.
AES - Actually Existing Socialism. Countries that are now operating under at least a form of socialist government.
NED - National Endowment for Democracy. A front for US operations abroad, such as the Hong Kong protests.
BE - Bad Empanada, obviously.
I’ve never seen him apologise for furthering the Uighur genocide hoax.
