I find this guy interesting. Yes, given he is a communist he is completely off base with reality, but he is not completely in lock-step with the establishment Left/Cathedral. That is, he does not seem to see the current people in power as the actual means to his end of getting the communist wet dream. But he has yet to realize what the establishment has already figured out, communism does not work in practice, but it sure as hell can be used to help you seize power.
I have seen others on the Left have this outlook too. If Russel Brand is indeed authentic with what he presents in his most recent videos and not just a pressure valve release, he may have also came to the conclusion that those in power who push leftist messaging have no intention of delivering on the actual goal of equality, but rather use it for their own means of seizing power.
So when they voice any opposition to the powers that be, it is due to the realization that it is only about power.
If only they would realize that their ideals of equality will never be able to manifest in the way they want. I do think that they are genuine in their desires. They just cannot bridge that last gap that their ideals cannot work. Because if the Cathedral fails, they will not come out with the lesson that their vision of equality cannot truly be achieved, but rather that they need to try again, this time the "correct" way.
Then more assholes get in power, and the cycle continues.
At least all of this reflects on my going theory about many of these leftists who are more vocal against the current narrative. They sense something is not quite right, and they realize that they are not going to get what they want by swallowing the narrative. But sensing something is wrong is not enough, you have to understand the why as well as the what.
