My 3 BIG Problems with Alien Versus Predator 2004 (aka Leave Xenomorphs Alone!) INSIDELEFT 2023-07-16 | This is a fun little video I threw together after watching AVP recently, its not meant to be taken too seriously, but is just poking a bit of fun at some of the choices and politics of what is a fairly forgettable movie.Or to put it another way, THE XENOS DID NOTHING WRONG WHY YOU CANT YOU JUST LEAVE THEM BE?Thanks to my Wife for both the idea and for helping with script.Make sure you check out @SKTheCrusader 's new video on the British political class after you are done here, its a cracker!youtube.com/watch?v=DmI60FOlLbA&ab_channel=SKTheCrusaderSources:avp.fandom.com/wiki/Alien_vs._Predator_(film)youtube.com/watch?v=APpkBhWeoFk&ab_channel=OMNIMODEKID-AMBIENTMUSIC
Things From The Flood: Angry Robots, Talking Teddy Bears & Privatisation INSIDELEFT 2024-10-05 | This video is about the Simon Stahlenhag book 'Things From The Flood', the sequel to 'Tales From The Loop'.'Things From The Flood' is a fascinating collection of artworks, and narrative prose that decribes a fictional childhood in an alternate history, where the world took some different paths, unlocking floating ships, sentient robots and teleportation technology.But where 'Tales From The Loop' explored rural sweden in the 80's, and at the start of an economic and political decline, 'Things From The Flood' takes us into the 90's and into a world of commercialisation and privatisaion.The author weaves a world of wonder, fantasy and...to some degree...dread.Join me as we explore the robots that refuse to be told what to do, the toys that just want to live, and find out what happens when you leave the most powerful facility in the world in the hands of the Free Market's lowest bidder.Big Thanks to Adventsong, who provided music for this video, to Mrs InsideLeft for her help with the script and moral support, and to the 'We Create Together' Crew for their advice and motivation.Link to Adventsong's Bandcamp: adventsong.bandcamp.comMake sure to check out other lefty creators like @SKTheCrusader @velvetvandal @CarolynKnits @alienbob798 @squishivision @rgordon @brightontheatreoftheair #talesfromtheloop #stahlenhag #Thingsfromtheflood #electricstate #scifi #art #dystopian #worldbuilding #sweden #alternatetimeline #neoliberalism #left #wecreatetogether

The Peoples Game? How billionaires bought English football, and how we can win it back INSIDELEFT 2024-08-24 | The Premier League is touted as the greatest league in the world, and we are told as football fans that you have to pay to maintain this level of quality.It is held up as a justification for why the divisions beneath are starved of resources, why clubs are always gouging fans, and why so much of English football exists beyond a paywall.As a socialist, and a lifelong football fan, this just doesn’t ring true.We fans watch as billionaires buy our clubs to massage their egos, to raise their profile, to extract an income or event to sportswash the reputation of states responsible for atrocities…and we wonder…how did it all come to this?…and how do we change it?In this video essay, I examine how and why we came to have a Premier League in the first place, how club ownership has changed over the last half century or so, examine whether the Premier League really is the best in the world after hoovering up all that money, and then make some suggestions as to how a left vision of English Football might look.I am by no means an expert, but I have tried to reference materials that support my views and suggestions, and I hope that despite the abuse that will no doubt come from raising my head above the parapet in the world of football coverage youtube, there will be some worthy discussions to be had.Abusive comments will be deleted.My source list can be found here in a google doc:docs.google.com/document/d/1p93tIVJ9QUWC3O93e_P43K18pk9SlAZ0LIna-fYEH2c/edit?usp=sharingBig Thanks go out to my Wife, the We Create Together crew, Thom Robson for his piece on Newcastle, Adventsong for the use of their excellent music, Nicko for providing the microphone, and the advice on how to use it.And of course big thanks go out to anyone that watches this video.It took months, stressed me out plenty, but I am glad that now, I can call this done.Enjoy.

All In The Game: A Criminal Empire Strategy Game That Actually Understands Crime! INSIDELEFT 2024-05-26 | Hello there friends!Its not Obi Wan Kenobi, but I, InsideLeft!And I bring you not GALACTIC justice but a game about the CRIMINAL kind!In this short video, I take a look at upcoming release ‘All In The Game’ from Finnish game developer ‘Strangelet Games’.‘All In The Game’ is a turn based crime strategy game, inspired by HBO Show ‘The Wire, which puts you into a PVP sandbox and gives you the freedom to construct your own criminal empire.I examine the gameplay, the setting and the philosophy behind a game that teams crime as a function of a neoliberal capitalism as opposed to a bug, and which gives more thought to the interactions of people, than most AAA game studios do their staff.Lets do this!Strangelet Games - @StrangeletGames-vp3eb Youtube - youtube.com/@StrangeletGames-vp3ebSteam (including Free Demo) - store.steampowered.com/app/2346780?utm_source=insideleftWe Create Together Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/wecreatetogether.bsky.socialEmail for More info or to get involved - wecreatetogetheruk@gmail.comWe Create Together Contributors On Youtubeyoutube.com/@squishivision - @squishivision - “Reviews and news on the TV and film industry”youtube.com/@CarolynKnits - @CarolynKnits - “Some crafting, knitting, crochet content, but a bit of anything”youtube.com/@no_genius - @no_genius - genius “Twitch streaming vod archive”youtube.com/@SKTheCrusader - @SKTheCrusader - “This is my YouTube channel where I talk about things that interest me, usually the media being incompetent, why space is bad and whether or not crepes are bread.

Tales From The Loop: Robots, Dinosaurs & Neoliberalism INSIDELEFT 2024-05-10 | This video is about the Simon Stahlenhag book 'Tales From The Loop'.Tales From The loop examines an alternate timeline full of technological wonders, dark tragedies and familiar decline.Its equal parts nostalgia and sci-fi, life and death, future and past.Its a brilliant book, and I really enjoyed getting to grips with it.I look at some of the themes I found within the artwork and narratives, discuss how they resonated with me, and talk about how it can be interpreted through a left wing lense.Big Thanks to Adventsong, who provided music for this video, to Mrs InsideLeft for her help with the script and moral support, and to the 'We Create Together' Crew for their advice and motivation.Link to Adventsong's Bandcamp: adventsong.bandcamp.comMake sure to check out other lefty creators like @SKTheCrusader @velvetvandal @CarolynKnits @Alien_Bob @squishivision #talesfromtheloop #stahlenhag #electricstate #scifi #art #dystopian #sweden #alternatetimeline #neoliberalism #left #wecreatetogether

THE TRAITORS: Problematic Or Good Actually? INSIDELEFT 2024-03-08 | *SPOILERS CONTAINED IN THIS VIDEO FOR THE ALL OF TRAITORS UK AND AUSTRALIA*This video is me, a millennial leftist, talking about ‘The Traitors’ Tv show.I enjoy the show, at the time of writing this I have watched both UK Seasons, both Aussie Seasons and the US Season, so I feel like its fair to say I am a fan.My brain is constantly questioning how I feel about a show that promotes back-stabbing, ostracism and self-interest as the route to victory.As someone on the left, I see these behaviours as hangovers from living in a capitalist society that promotes competition and individualism as being the correct way to live, the end result of decades of Thatcherism, Reaganism and their Neoliberal project.So should I be enjoying this show, or should I tear it down as an icon of all I despise ideologically?Join me as I look at the show in detail, and interrogate it for its ideology, its cultural impact and its potential as a leftist learning tool.We will look at The origins of the game itself, how it was developed from its initial creation as a psychological learning tool in 1980’s Russia, through its US adaptation, right the way through to how a 17th century dutch mutiny inspired the first version of the Traitors in the Netherlands.We will discuss what a leftist gameshow might look like, what other gameshows may have done better, and what parts of the traitors might actually be useful to us on the left.We will talk about Mafiosos, Werewolves, Mutineers and Prisoner Dilemmas.And then hopefully, by the end, we will have some understanding as to whether I should be watching and enjoying the traitors…or not?Lets do it!#TheTraitors #thetraitorsuk #thetraitorsus #traitors #deverraders #bbc #rtl #gameshows #crystalmaze #leftist TheTraitors TheTraitors uk TheTraitors Australia TheTraitors USATraitorsMafiaWerewolfBataviaMike PosRTLClaudia WinklemanRodger CorserBbcRtlCrystal MazeRichard O’BrienSources:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Verraders - Origin of tv show (dutch)en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game) - Game that inspired the showen.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Traitors_(British_TV_series)#Format - Uk version wikiservinglibrary.org/journal/2/the-original-mafia-rules - The Original Mafia Rulesetweb.archive.org/web/19990302082118/http://members.theglobe.com/mafia_rules - Ruleset sourcewired.co.uk/article/werewolf - Info on game creator Davidoffeblong.com/zarf/werewolf.html - Werewolf rulesvariety.com/2023/tv/global/the-traitors-creator-marc-pos-interview-rtl-bbc-1235480694 - TV Show Creator Interviewmedium.com/@Socademia/feminist-monster-theory-the-vilification-of-the-violation-of-gender-roles-82fe88c775bd - Werewolves as LGBT+en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutiny#Famous_mutinies_in_history - Mutiny Wikigoodreads.com/en/book/show/128824 - Batavias Graveyarden.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Dash#Bibliography - Mike Dash WIkibooks.google.co.uk/books?id=PuFw9xDqojgC&pg=PA29&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false - Thugs a British inventionstandard.co.uk/news/politics/boris-johnson-channels-spirit-of-margaret-thatcher-with-his-greed-is-good-message-8968102.html - BJ Greed is goodvice.com/en/article/7xg5a9/how-game-shows-perfectly-reflect-the-era-were-living-in - Vice on Gameshowshttp://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/UK_Game_Show_Records - Gameshow figuresen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_rhetoric - Procedural RHetoricstandard.co.uk/culture/tvfilm/the-traitors-bbc-most-iconic-moments-b1128641.html - Highlights of Uk season 1thetraitors.fandom.com/wiki/The_Traitors_(UK) - Wikitheneweuropean.co.uk/divisive-and-uncaring-the-traitors-is-the-perfect-show-for-post-brexit-britain - Traitors critbuzzfeed.com/patricksmith/to-the-crystal-dome - O’brien interviewbbc.com/mediacentre/2024/traitors-series-2-record-viewing-figures#:~:text=Broadcast%20viewing%20is%20increasing%20week,3%20both%20at%206.1million. - viewing figuresPrisoner’s dilemma diagram : By cmglee, http://github.com/emojione/emojione/graphs/contributors, http://github.com/twitter/twemoji#committers-and-contributors - This vector image includes elements from this file:, CC BY-SA 4.0, commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=140014761pngtree.com/freepng/red-devil-devil-wings_6357676.html used in thumbnail.

OVERTHINKING Pandorum! Talking about Malthus, Capitalism and AI! INSIDELEFT 2023-12-30 | I am back, and this time my thoughts are even more deranged that normal, but I blame the movie!As my earlier videos called out, 'Alien 3' and 'Alien Versus Predator' certainly had their problems, but this one really had me wracking my brain to find the most unhinged takes I could find.SPOILERS ARE CONTAINED IN THIS VIDEO, WATCH THE MOVIE FIRST!Pandorum is a film made from joining two scripts together, and at times that is very obvious!Combining the fictional psychological condition of 'Pandorum' with the cannibalistic horrors of forced evolution is a recipe for sci-fi horror, and by god is it a fun film.I somehow manage to crowbar in thoughts of Malthusianism, Critiques of Capitalism and concerns over AI into a film that isn't really about any of that, which maybe says more about me than the film...But it does make sense, I promise.Well to me it does anyway.#pandorum #scifi #horror #movies #socialist #alien3 #avp #subtitles Sources:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Robert_Malthusmerriam-webster.com/dictionary/Malthusianarchive.org/details/evolutionhistory0000bowl_n7y8/page/104/mode/2up?view=theateren.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandorumimdb.com/title/tt1188729/trivia/?ref_=tt_trv_trveuronews.com/2023/01/17/the-countries-where-population-is-decliningun.org/en/global-issues/population#:~:text=The%20world%20population%20is%20projected,surrounding%20these%20latest%20population%20projections.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-09-13/uk-s-lower-birth-rate-set-to-boost-household-living-standards?leadSource=uverify%20wallsentencing.nv.gov/uploadedFiles/sentencingnvgov/content/Meetings/2022/08.24.22%20NSC%20Mtg.%20Agenda%20Item%208%20PFJ%20What%20Really%20Lowers%20Crime.pdfscientificamerican.com/article/why-malthus-is-still-wrongbbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zbswxnb/revision/7isj.org.uk/beyond-our-numbersindependent.co.uk/news/world/americas/tim-gurner-property-developer-australia-b2411998.htmltheguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/may/15/australian-millionaire-millennials-avocado-toast-houseimdb.com/title/tt1188729/trivia/?ref_=tt_trv_trvyoutube.com/watch?v=6Nl8nimtZTcyoutube.com/watch?v=Etrah9o-jWYfrankensteinspodcast.com/25-pandorum-crafting-monsters-wcole-taylor-travis-milloytheconversation.com/7-5-billion-and-counting-how-many-humans-can-the-earth-support-98797jacobin.com/2022/08/nazi-germany-national-socialism-hypercaptialism-social-darwinism-liberalismscientificamerican.com/article/more-food-less-energy

3 Lefty Anthems Everyone Should Hear!

ALIEN 3 - The Xenomorph Is The Hero (Sort of) INSIDELEFT 2023-11-10 | Yep I am back, back, back again with another silly Alien Video, this time talking about Alien 3!You know, the one we used to think was bad but then…people kept making more and…well you know how the star wars prequels look better now that episode 9 is out?YEAH THAT.Anyway, have you ever wondered if Alien 3 was about something more than shaven heads and rust?In this video, I look at how it informs our understanding of crime, Prisons for profit, and what it all means for us...and we all agree that corporations were a bad move, and that we should go back to not doing that.Big thanks to the wife for helping with the scripting, and for repeating that this film needed more Charles Dance, which to be fair, is true of most things they are in.This is just for fun, so don't get mad at me if I miss something, or haven't read every comicbook spin off ok?

Gaming & The Left INSIDELEFT 2023-08-11 | *Sorry about the flat recording sound on this one, I was in a hurry and flubbed the setup, apologies!*I have been a patron of @SKTheCrusader for a while now, and have long admired their wholehearted commitment to interrogating a subject when making a video.So I knew what I was getting into when I suggested 'Gamer Culture, and what the left can do about it' as a potential topic for a future video.SK then released their excellent video 'Gamers: Are They The Left's Problem', and lightly jibed me for what they felt was a slightly "2013-ass" subject, before going about the business of thoroughly covering it.One of the few questions that arose unanswered, was 'Why did they (me) suggest this topic?', Though SK did acknowedge that the question was there to be answered.It got my brain firing about what had made me think of it, why I cared, and what I thought the 'Left' if there is so cohesive a thing, should do about the perceived state of gamer culture.Certainly, there are issues with gamer cutlture that go back a long time now, such as the rampant use of right wing language and talking points, and its young people that are being steeped in it.So lets talk about it.Big thanks to @SKTheCrusader for their support, acknowledgements and shout outs, it is very much appreciaited, so please reciprocate and check out their video too!youtu.be/-bVWIEgG48gAlso thanks to: @WayMisc . @magutipeluti & @yoyoshm for supplying the N64 Logo, Amstrad 464 Footage and Mariokart footage in the background of this video, links to these videos are below, check em out!youtube.com/watch?v=0Oi-gWPxDtQ&ab_channel=WayMiscyoutube.com/@magutipelutiyoutube.com/watch?v=W4lZQ8nw67w&ab_channel=yoyoshm#subtitles #gamers #leftism #politics #videogames #millennials #retrogaming gaming cultures safe space video games amstrad nostalgia

Are The British Police Beyond Saving? INSIDELEFT 2023-04-01 | Defunding the police can sound like a scary and radical idea, but if you look into the evidence and arguments it stops being scary, and instead becomes compelling!However, before we can discuss alternatives to the police force, we need to understand the UK police force, where it is strong, and where it is weak.Once we understand this, we can then explore why that is, and why they needn't be the answer to every social problem.This video is the first in a series exploring the concept of 'Defund The Police', starting with what the formation of the UK police means for our modern police force, and what it can tell us about why the police really exist. (Hint: Its less about crime and more about Capitalism!).Sources Document: docs.google.com/document/d/1mojhp9aIgc_-rVnur018snjQaw_29irFtobPBVFDSfs/edit?usp=sharingIf you are still reading this, checkout these awesome people:@praxiscast - praxiscast.podbean.com@SKTheCrusader - / @skthecrusader @Andrewism - / @ucn__g2hsqrkuqed... @TheLeftistCooks - / @theleftistcooks @SophiefromMars - / @sophiefrommars @JessieGender1 - / @jessiegender1 @JacobGeller - / @jacobgeller @JimSterling - / @jimsterling #defundthepolice #policing #socialism #capitalism #left #Defund #subtitles Defund The Police Explained what does defund the police mean #baronnesscasey

INSIDELEFT 2023-01-09 | This is a bit of a thought experiment, an exploration of the concept of 'Utopia', and how such a concept may have political value in the 21st century.I look at the difference between a 'utopian vision' and an 'ideology', speculate as to what politics looks like without a utopian vision, and discuss the importance of hope in the face of pragmatic nihilism.I am still learning the ropes of how to write, light, record and edit, so please bear with me, the green screen fuzziness all round me will hopefully be eliminated in future videos :DThese are all just opinions, I am no expert, am mediocrely educated, and am constantly getting stuff wrong, but I feel there is value to talking about this, and hopefully you will too.Thank you for your time.Media that i enjoyed of late:@praxiscast - praxiscast.podbean.com@SKTheCrusader - youtube.com/@SKTheCrusader@Andrewism - youtube.com/@UCN__G2hSqRKuqedN3M0JCDg @TheLeftistCooks - youtube.com/@TheLeftistCooks@SophiefromMars - youtube.com/@SophiefromMars@JessieGender1 - youtube.com/@JessieGender1 @JacobGeller - youtube.com/@JacobGeller @JimSterling - youtube.com/@JimSterling#utopia #Thomasmore #socialism #left #politics #capitalism #leftism #communism #anarchism
The Lesser Evil #Politics #UK #Socialism INSIDELEFT 2022-12-08 | I make the case for why I do not believe in 'voting for the lesser evil' in elections, why I believe the left should value their votes more highly, and why now more than ever, we need to demand more for our complicity in general elections.
