The way they feed you information is patronizingly slow, and while I'm not expecting a widely cited academic paper published in a reputable journal, Youtube essays are one step below shitposts on internet forums in trustworthiness and academic rigor.

Guess we're watching different video essays, then. Most are edutainment at best, true. But there are *soy many with cited sources on youtube.

I gave them the text as published on the anarchist library, but they didn't seem to appreciate that either. It's almost like they just don't want to learn history that isn't their revisionist version of it.

Everyone knows that any critique of Stalin is CIA propaganda. /s

The frustrating thing is that most of it was CIA propaganda at one point in time, it just happened to also be true, which made it much more effective propaganda. It's a big gift the USSR gave to anti-communists.
