Why I left TYT Bennie Carollo 2023-07-04 | Over the past several months Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur have taken increasingly transphobic stances, especially regarding trans women in sports but also more generally when it comes to trans youth getting access to gender affirming care. They have begun to lash out at anyone that calls them out on where they are wrong and basically refused to learn. Recently Ana went so far as to defend Jesse Singal, who is very well known as a transphobe.

the most important thing in any feminist movement Bennie Carollo 2024-05-01 | above all else there is one thing that is the most important thing for any feminist movement, and its clear that is community. Women build power within their communities whenever we are talking to each other and building networks of support.

Is Pokemon actually a dystopian universe? Bennie Carollo 2024-01-11 | This is a highlight from a stream I did with one of my friends talking about pokemon where I basically just dump a bunch of my own unhinged fan theory onto her and she fails to disprove it, which means it must be true lol XD We talk about how Mr Mime is clearly Ash's dad and the fact that Team Rocket might be the good guys

how to react to someone coming out as trans Bennie Carollo 2023-09-18 | a lot of people are really confused about how to react when someone comes out as trans, and for me I think a lot of the answer rests on having the right thought process about being trans in the first place. My advice is to think of it as a plot twist where someone is just stopping pretending to be a gender that they aren't

No, Socialism Hasnt Failed Bennie Carollo 2023-08-25 | Many people are afraid to say they like socialism because they think of socialism as a "failed expirement" but the truth is quite the opposite. When you look at how the poorest in society are treated its very clear that socialism is by far better. Regardless of any specific issues that still exist in these socialist countries, there is no doubt that their economic system has brought comfort and literacy to the masses.
Tearing apart Ron Desantis Terrible Ad Bennie Carollo 2023-08-11 | Me and Bugs Maytrix tear apart a terrible ad for ron desantis and point out how obviously racist it is at its core. Its no wonder that his political career looks like its going to be in shambles soon.
Picking apart Ben Burgis terrible takes on trans people Bennie Carollo 2023-08-02 | Ben Burgis loves to talk a lot about trans people while also claiming to not really have a lot of opinions about trans people, and boy oh boy was his video just the most awful example of this. Once again Ben Burgis reveals himself to be a class reductionist who also seems to fail to understand the depth of class issues in the country

The Politics of Bimboism Bennie Carollo 2023-07-07 | Just a fun casual conversation I had on the air with Madison, the person who runs the Barbie Agitprop twitter account as well as prettyinpraxis.com about the politics of bimboism. In the interview we talk about misogyny, transphobia, and how women are treated in the workplace and society.

Why health and wellness hippies can get so racist Bennie Carollo 2023-06-02 | a lot of the health and wellness types are part of a far right content pipeline and don't even realize it. I briefly explain in this video why so many hippies get racist.
Should we ban radical gender ideology? Bennie Carollo 2023-06-01 | Should we ban radical gender ideology? I break down the truth about right wing grifters like matt walsh and ben shapiro in response to some random person in my chat that wanted to ask me if I supported "radical gender ideology". They run around asking what is a woman and pretend to be these tough guys but at the end of the day they just want to push an extreme right agenda. The truth is trans people don't subscribe to some radical ideology about gender, thats the far right trying to impost an incredibly rigid and narrow idea of what gender is supposed to be.
Queer Representation in Media & Again Again the Movie | Interview w/Alexa Feeney Bennie Carollo 2023-02-10 | Bennie Carollo talks with Alexa Feeney about queer representation in media and her upcoming film Again Again, that she's working on with comedian Mia Moore. The film centers on a trans woman who has spent 10 years in a time loop and having to discover herself after spending all that time repeating the same day over and over. In the interview we talk about how queer characters are portrayed in media, Alexa's inspiration as a film maker, and what her goals are for the film. You can support the film here: indiegogo.com/projects/again-again-a-time-loop-feature-film#
Are sex and gender the same? Bennie Carollo 2023-02-03 | Many people like to say that sex and gender are exactly the same thing, while other people like to claim that they are entirely separate things, the truth is a little bit more complicated than that. Sex and gender are related to each other, and sex itself is something that in some ways can change over time, in this video I do my best to lay out how these things can differ and how they intersect. Most importantly, I ask if trans women are biologically male, to which the answer is no. It's not fair to claim that trans women are biologically male because that waters down the discussion to a degree that really doesn't make any sense.
Conservatives Actually Believe in FOUR GENDERS! Bennie Carollo 2023-01-23 | This is a section taken from one of my streams where I was watching a video by Samantha Lux of her reviewing a debate between TERFs and trans people. The entire stream of thought stemmed from one TERF being upset about the notion of trans women being placed in women's prisons, but this actually reveals a much larger truth about how our society views gender more broadly.
How a general strike could happen Bennie Carollo 2022-12-08 | Many people think that a general strike is something that just happens, but the reality is that it is usually an escalation from some sort of instigating event, It usually happens after some company does something terrible in response to a strike that is already happening, leading other workplaces to strike in solidarity.
How Capitalists Get the Left to Repeat Right Wing Propaganda Bennie Carollo 2022-12-07 | One of the major tactics of large capitalist institutions is to callously wield fake concern over human rights as a tool to justify their sanction regimes. By using the language of human rights while selectively focusing on international competitors, capitalists are able to get people on the left to repeat right wing talking points and propaganda, while still thinking they are pushing for progress. Rather than addressing the issues of prison labor or child labor within the US, or on other countries where US companies are operating, these capitalists try to get people on the left to focus all of their outrage at other countries, and especially socialist countries. By doing this they trick the left into supporting imperialism on the part of the US.
Is The Fed Trying to Crash The Economy? Bennie Carollo 2022-11-12 | Inflation is high, wages are stagnant, but workers are organizing into labor unions, amid all this the federal reserve is increasing their interest rates, but why?Most of the inflation we are seeing is the result of high corporate profits which really means there is a ton of price gouging going on, and instead of dealing with that they are trying to break the power of workers and consolidate the market by keeping regular home buyers out of the market and squeezing small businesses.Ben Carollo from TYT breaks down the economic realities of today and the role the federal reserve is playing in the economy.
Can you have a blend of Socialism and Capitalism? Bennie Carollo 2022-11-07 | A lot of people like to say that we should have a blend of socialism and capitalism, but does that make any sense? The answer is no, because the two systems are mutually exclusive, but what can happen is you can have a capitalist system that has social programs, and you can have a socialist system that has capitalists and markets. The difference between socialism and capitalism is the difference between a dictatorship of the proletariat vs a dictatorship of capital. In this clip I talk about social democracy, socialism, capitalism, and the history of the US and Europe and why they differ in their approaches to capitalism.
Did Student Debt Forgiveness Increase the deficit? Bennie Carollo 2022-10-21 | The associated press put out an article claiming that the student loan debt forgiveness has already led the deficit to skyrocket, of course they are leaving out that the debt forgiveness not only hasn't happened yet, but doesn't even add up to the total interest on these loans that has been accumulated! They also, of course leave out the fact that Biden has actually decreased the deficit, so that is an interesting fact to. At the end of the day this is the kind of right wing deficit fear mongering that republicans love and the Associated Press is running it uncritically. Not to mention also, the fact that PPP loans probably were the major culprit in this anyway. #shorts
Why is recession looming? Understanding how the US works. Bennie Carollo 2022-09-25 | Is there a recession on the horizon? I explain exactly why there seems to be so much talk of a recession at a time of political turmoil and labor organizing. I also go into detail over the idea of the "dictatorship of capital" and what that really means as well as the history of the US economy and how fascism comes to power and found its origins in the US economy. Additionally, I speak about the political role that the stock market plays, as well as the influence that property values and 401Ks have over the political economy in the US.
Bloomberg Fails at Making anti-China Propaganda Bennie Carollo 2022-09-16 | US news outlets love to talk about China, they especially love to make China seem like it is some sort of techno-dystopia, but is that true? The reality is when you actually look at what is going on it turns out that people just live very normal lives, and things that are considered normal here in the US are painted as some sort of dystopian evil when it happens in China.
Africa is Getting their Own CDC Bennie Carollo 2022-08-24 | Did you know that China is helping Africa fund its own CDC? Its part of a larger effort by China to expand the economic relationship between China and the African continent, and its happening alongside the belt and road initiative. Additionally, China recently forgave billions in debt to various African countries potentially strengthening their ties even more. Ultimately the future of the global economy is likely to be defined by the economic partnership between countries in Africa and China. #shorts
Hank Green is Wrong about Climate Change Bennie Carollo 2022-08-17 | Hank Green put out a tweet that is completely wrong. It was about climate change and made a terrible error in allocating the blame. Ultimately by refusing to acknowledge the role of large oil companies in climate change, Hank Green seems to be hoping people simply let those corporations walk away with the profits they have made. Anyway, Climate change is a very serious problem and in order to solve it, we really need to address the people who are to blame.
Did Charlie Kirk Just Agree with Me, a Trans Marxist? Bennie Carollo 2022-07-15 | When I debated Charlie Kirk he tried to claim that the US was entirely truthful about the USSR and the conditions people lived under, but then also recognized that the US brought in people from Germany after WW2 in order to work with CIA propaganda campaigns. Apparently, Charlie Kirk seems to think that fascists were putting out trustworthy information about the USSR. In this debate, Charlie Kirk really revealed himself to be incredibly extreme and showed more sympathy to the nazi regime than the allies that fought against them. TYT contributor Ben Carollo (me) debunks Charlie Kirk's false narratives about socialism. In the case of capitalism vs socialism, socialism wins again. #shorts #benjamincarollo
Charlie Kirk Doesnt realize Vietnam is Still Socialist Bennie Carollo 2022-07-14 | Ben Carollo (me) debates Charlie Kirk on Marxism. Charlie Kirk doesn't realize that Vietnam is still a socialist country. Charlie Kirk speaks on how the economy is much better in Vietnam now that they are not facing invasion or brutal sanctions from the US and claims that it is because they are no longer socialist, but fails to realize that Vietnam is still a socialist country. This is a testament to how little charlie kirk knows about marxism and how little he knows about the Vietnamese economy. Ben Carollo (me) then roasts Charlie Kirk for failing to understand basic facts. #shorts #benjamincarollo
Trans Marxist Proves Charlie Kirk Doesnt know anything about China Bennie Carollo 2022-06-30 | Trans Marxist Benjamin Carollo proves that Charlie Kirk doesn't even know the basic fundamentals of the electoral system in China. While he constantly throws out nonsensical claims about China, at the end of the day he is just making things up, and can't recite basic facts about their system of government. Just like he references the victims of communism all the time, Turning Point host Charlie Kirk, fundamentally is out to spread misinformation with the aim of pushing his extreme right-wing agenda.#short #shorts
How you can feed the hungry in your neighborhood! Bennie Carollo 2022-02-07 | A lot of people ask themselves "how can I make a difference" and often get really vague answers from people or have a lot of uncertainty. So I decided to outline one action that people could take in their communities to tackle hunger in their communities. A lot of companies waste perfectly good food, and most people in the community wish they would give that food to the homeless. This problem is so ever-present but few realize that a worker strike could easily achieve the goal of getting a company to stop throwing away food. This is a simple direct action that could be done in any community.Check out my content on Rebel HQ: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqSpk99bLYIRKds7R5c2ogRTzMogIjoq8And on Twitch: twitch.tv/bleepblompbenAnd Twitter: twitter.com/BenjaminCarollo#benjamincarollo
How Democracy works in China (Short) Bennie Carollo 2021-12-28 | Does China have a democracy? How do elections work in China? Well not only does China have a Democracy, but it has a Democracy that works very well! The National People's Congress had broad public support, and elections in China are very transparent and open. Not only do you not have to be a member of the communist party of China to run for office, but you can be nominated by just ten people! Additional China has public financing of elections, and a recall election can be started by just 50 voters!This is why their communist system has been able to maintain its stability for so long, and why it has been able to outperform capitalist countries in terms of it's rapid improvement of living conditions. #benjamincarollo #china #shortFor more content like this follow me on Twitch: twitch.tv/bleepblompbenTwitter: twitter.com/BenjaminCarolloTikTok: tiktok.com/@bleepblompbenYou can also catch me on TYT, both on Rebel HQ, and every Friday at 4pm eastern time on their twitch channel!Sources:http://www.npc.gov.cn/englishnpc/c23934/202012/81779080873d4b268c0dbe53e0b04873.shtmlhttps://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/07/long-term-survey-reveals-chinese-government-satisfaction/

The Corruption Behind Daylight Savings Time Bennie Carollo 2021-11-06 | Daylight savings time is killing us, and it's not just the switch, it's the fact that it puts so many people out of sync with their Chronotype, and that can lead to long-term health consequences. A study published in PLoS (the Public Library of Science) of over 50,000 people showing peoples chronotypes reveals that if everyone were to wake up at 7am daylight time, only about 20% of people would be getting their best sleep at night.

Ben Rants about Biden, The Supreme Court, and Roe V Wade Bennie Carollo 2021-09-07 | Why is Joe Biden not doing more to keep Roe v Wade in place? Why are the Democrats not doing more? And why is the supreme court doing letting the texas abortion law go through? The answer is that their interest always has been in protecting capital interest over the working class, and they want to ensure that wages stay low even during the pandemic. It is why they are letting the eviction moratorium end, why they wont forgive student loans, and why they are ending the unemployment benefits. Biden wants workers to go back to work, and to stop demanding higher wages. He is trying to respond to the labor shortage by making sure people are so desperate that they have no other choice but to go back to work.

We covered land back, housing cooperatives, and organizing strategies for housing rights advocates and those concerned about the growing homelessness crisis in the US.#benjamincarollo
Interview With Nick Kor | Minneapolis City Council Candidate Bennie Carollo 2021-08-08 | Nick Kor is running for the Minneapolis City council in ward 7. In this interview, we talked about housing policy, public transportation, police reform, and more. Minneapolis has been at the center of attention for the past year following the death of George Floyd and the uprisings that have taken place around the country as a result of that very public and visible act of violence by a police officer. This year is going to be significant as Jacob Frey faces a challenge for Mayor, and as the city council is up for reelection. Additionally, there is a charter amendment on the ballot which could open up the opportunity for Minneapolis to move beyond policing and set up real systems of public safety.If you want to learn more about Nick check out his links:nickkor.comtwitter.com/Neighbors4Nick#benjamincarollo
The Cuba Solidarity Movement in the US: Interview with August Nimtz Ph.D. Bennie Carollo 2021-07-28 | The Minnesota Cuba Committee is an organization formed to oppose the embargo and ensure that people get the truth about Cuba. August Nimtz is a professor that has been visiting Cuba as part of his research for decades, and he has been a part of the Minnesota Cuba Committee for almost as long. The Minnesota Cuba Committee has helped global health partners raise money to get medical aid to the people of Cuba, and some of its members have gone on caravans with pastors for peace, who go to Cuba on occasion to help bring aid to the Cuban people and show solidarity with them against the embargo. Pastors for Peace organizes Cuba solidarity caravans, including trips to Cuba, as well as caravans to places like Washington DC to speak to representatives about the harm that the Cuban embargo causes to the people of Cuba. The solidarity movement with Cuba has been growing rapidly since the Cuban protests of 2021 and the hope of the Minnesota Cuba Committee is that the increased visibility of Cuba in the news will lead to an expansion of the solidarity movement and hopefully an end to the embargo. Hopefully, the Cuba solidarity movement will continue to grow in the coming days, weeks, and years.August H. Nimtz, Ph. D., is a professor of political science and African American and African studies in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota. He specializes in Marxism, political economy, politics of race, class & ethnicity, and African politics.Minnesota Cuba Committee: facebook.com/MNCubaCmtePastors for Peace: ifconews.org#benjamincarollo
This is Literally 1984 Bennie Carollo 2021-07-26 | Republicans talk a lot about 1984 and they seem to think that anytime the government does anything, that is evidence of some looming socialism. The truth is, 1984 by George Orwell was written as a critique of the west at the time he was alive, and the Republicans still use the tactics that were used to inspire his writing. Constitutional originalism, which is a favored view by the right, is a perfect example of what might be called newspeak, as it is where completely new ideas are presented as having always been around. For example, Donal Trump's asylum policy was purely invented and completely against the law, however, he claimed it had always been that way and the democrats played along as if he was right. What was a violation of international law on the part of trump and a deviation from immigration law as it was written, was turned into "what had always been" overnight, and democrats have done nothing to push against that lie.#benjamincarollo
How Liberal Democracies Compare to Cuba (feat. azureScapegoat) Bennie Carollo 2021-07-22 | Is Cuba a Democracy? How does Cuba's system compare to prominent western liberal democracies? I spoke with azureScapegoat on my stream with different systems in the west and how they compare to Cuba's system of democracy, and as it turns out these liberal democracies simply don't meet the mark. Cuba is clearly far more democratic than countries like Canada, with the Canadian Senate being appointed, or the UK where some members of the house of lords have inherited seats. Even taking a look at Sweden, which is often held up as exemplary by social democrats like Bernie Sanders and AOC, have highly undemocratic systems. Compared to Cuba the western world simply doesn't reach the standard of democracy. Ultimately Cuba has an entirely non-partisan democracy where the people have a right to recall their elected officials.YouTube: youtube.com/c/azureScapegoatTwitch: twitch.tv/azurescapegoatPatreon: patreon.com/azurescapegoatTwitter: twitter.com/azureScapegoatIf you want to support this content consider becoming a patron on my Patreon: patreon.com/bleepblompbenYou can also find my streaming daily on Twitch: twitch.tv/bleepblompbenAnd posting all the memes on Twitter: twitter.com/BenjaminCarolloYou can also catch me on The Young Turks' twitch channel on Fridays at 4pm ET: twitch.tv/tyt#benjamincarollo

Moral Envy: Why Liberals Hate the Left Bennie Carollo 2021-07-12 | Often centrist liberals will spend more of their time going after leftists and socialists than they do challenging the right, why is this? Ultimately liberals see themselves as defenders of capitalism and the capitalist system, and they reject socialism and socialists more than they oppose the right's ideas on how to go about capitalism. Using David Graeber's theory of moral envy, which he described in his book on BS Jobs, I try to explain why it is that liberals spend so much of their time focusing on opposing anyone that supports socialism. This is why liberals will spend so much time trying to smear places like Cuba and their socialist government, and continue to support embargos and imperialism. Especially as the movement towards socialism is growing in the United States, politicians like Joe Biden have been ramping up a new red scare in an effort to prevent the socialist movement from gaining more traction. Especially considering the end of the eviction moratorium is near, Democrats and Liberals are trying to maintain their image as the saviors of the working class and are smearing socialists in this effort to save face.
