Media recommendations for learning about Leftism
Wow, this reporting is truly shocking to see after western media has worked to hard to erase the presence of Nazism and radical nationalism in Ukraine.
This BBC reporter is truly brave and very good at his job to get Nazis to say how they really feel on camera. So many neo-Nazi groups refuse to share their thoughts on camera. And many of the radical nationalists in Ukraine share these Nazi beliefs but will never admit it to media.
This definitive history of Cuba from pre-Colombus to Donald Trump is an incredible resource. Cuban history is an incredible theater for a range of historical dramas, and it’s a prime example for learning about everything from colonialism and slavery to the cold war and communism.

This book is a fantastic introduction to Chinese economics. The author does a great job of explaining China’s Marxist policies from the perspective of western economics.

This travel vlogger wandered into a free museum of the history of the Communist Party of China.
This video series put things into perspective very easily. Every story has two sides, and the western narrative so easily supports treason and terrorism against the Chinese government as normal. They see the government of China as an illegitimate regime and would rather see destruction and chaos against it than stability and progress.
China’s extradition law would be normal and even lax in the grand scheme of things. Every western state has the capacity to persecute people who make themselves enemies of the state by colluding with foreign nations or other serious crimes.
We were also not told the whole story of how destructive and violent the protestors were.
This is a normal travel vlog made by a European couple who saw China for themselves. It really is that simple. Go to China, speak with real everyday Chinese people, and see what lies you’ve been told about China.
This cute British couple travels around Urumqi, Xinjiang and see how developed and peaceful it is. They see mosques and signs written in the supposedly suppressed Uyghur language.
This is a great video about some of the simple things in Chinese society that have a big effect on quality of life. I too was SHOCKED that fresh produce was literally pennies.
This is a video from 2014. This entire series on YouTube contains a deluge of evidence on the true nature of the war in Ukraine. This video shows the massive pro-Russia sentiment in the independent state of The People’s Republic of Donetsk.
They wanted democracy to show the world it was not “Russian imperialism” that made them leave Ukraine but Ukrainian oppression.
This video is a great place to start to gain some nuance on the situation in North Korea. After all, the underdevelopment and repressive state North Korea has today are a result of the Korean War, waged by the US.
The Korean war killed almost 1 in 5 North Koreans and destroyed every building more than 1 story tall. The indiscriminate bombing was truly horrific, and the war that split Korea gave both sides a horrible place to start from.
And for 35 years before that, Korea was badly exploited and brutalized as a Japanese colony. That’s what makes this video so insightful. It looks beyond the west’s perspective to show the everyday effects of the US intervention in Korea.
