Leftypol here.
It started with good intentions back in early 2016 and focused mostly on electoral commentary. They weren't really affiliated to any political party, but they made a big point of voicing opposition to what they called "idpol" (identity politics), and had some moderately insightful stuff on how this alienated and drove away parts of the white working class. They did a lot of similar stuff, focusing on the de-industrialization of the country, the fact Hillary represented neoliberal interests even more obviously than Trump did and so on. There was a vibe of "I told you so" after the election as a result.
That changed after Trump's took up office. Remember that right-wing personality who said that all online communities that aren't explicitly leftist eventually become so? More accurately the aphorism would run something like "all non-explicitly liberal communities eventually become liberal". CTH these days more or less engages in the same sort of "idpol" that other left-liberals do. They're a bit more muted about it, but the majority of their backers will, for example, defend Sarah Jeong in the interests of intersectionality. From what I remember that's a far cry from what the podcast was set up to combat. This culminated in a mass-ban of "tankies" (read: actual Marxist-Leninists who don't care about non-white race-tribalism masquerading as leftism)
The real issue here for me is that there just aren't any serious leftist spaces left in the western discourse. There are, of course, tons of liberal/"left"-liberal spaces. But most of these people are liberals through and through. They'll prioritize liberalism over leftism every time, for example:
Luis Allen
>Condemning Eastern/Central European communist movements like the Czech Communist Party because they're opposed to gay marriage and mass immigration
>Quoting from neolib think-tanks like the Cato Institute and their research papers to "prove" that mass immigration doesn't cause wage depression among the working class
>Unironically believing that mass immigration doesn't massively inflate property prices beyond all affordability for working and lower-middle class people
And so on.
Leftism doesn't exist as a force in western politics. What is dominant is liberalism. Left-liberals are only "leftist" in an incidental way. The problem is that leftism is so joined at the hip to liberalism (in order to attain any sort of political power) that moving away from this dynamic is impossible. An entire generation of people have grown up genuinely believing they are leftists because they support homosexual pride parades and open borders. Like Orwell said, once you control language, you basically control someone's ability to conceptualize thought itself.

Spoiled luxury consumers. Their Williamsburg lifestyle is literally a luxury consumer item old white men have created for them. They have no respect. Children with large mouths.

Take the Nazbol pill already.

Xavier Flores
Stop pushing faggy libcunt e-celebs, asshole. Nobody cares.
Jacob Myers
Note that I can't fucking stand CTH's "haha, those fucking libs" schtick these days. It betrays an astonishing lack of self-awareness. I just wish these people would acknowledge that they're liberals first and foremost. It's telling at left-liberals attach themselves to joke causes like raising the minimum wage for fast-food workers; they're satisfied with treating the effects of mass capitalism in a therapeutic way ("no industrial economy and no jobs left? just give everyone a basic income for doing nothing!")

Is your favorite form of Socialism some obscure anarcho-syndicalist Spanish group that lasted for like 2 minutes?
Joseph Mitchell
Kek
Jose King
No. Stalinism is my favorite kind of socialism because it actually fucking worked.
Joshua Perez
Most don’t understand we have a tripartite political landscape shoehorned into a two-party political system. Tankies know that the Democrats are lost to neoliberalism, but side with them anyway. Why not help Trump crush them?
Josiah Allen

Jonathan Diaz
it's faggot bourgois leftist so-y children larping as le revolutionaries while the father or the kike in charge is an editor for the NY times
Evan Torres
I was joking to see if you were someone I know
Luis Reyes
Again, liberalism > leftism for these people. I've spoke to CTH types and straight up asked them "If we could have worker control of the means of production but it meant having no more significant settlement immigration and no gay marriage, would you accept it?" And they uniformly answer no.
A lot of them don't even support tariff barriers for fuck sake because it's "racist" and "others" people, lol.
Nicholas Butler
Revolutionaries can and have successfully taken over institutions without having yet taken over the entire nation. Your mocking them as supposedly fake revolutionaries betrays the fact that their revolution is ongoing. Sorry, I find no inherent contradiction in revolutionaries being editors of the NYT, since their revolution is directed toward the state.
Jonathan Harris
The same goes for any low IQ faggot who criticizes antifa for being fake revolutionaries. We have Trump as president and Republican majorities in Congress. Your points are weak!
Leo Collins
>Again, liberalism > leftism for these people
This reveals their class bias.
Ryder Stewart
They are funny and good bois.
Logan Ross
CTH and TRS need to do a six hour bloodsports super show desu
Enoch, Striker, and Sven vs... whoever the fuck from CTH. I haven't listened to CTH in over a year.
Cooper Russell
All politics is identity politics. Politics is just groups with common interests organizing against their shared enemies. The most salient political division in the contemporary United States is the ethnic conflict between the found European-American stock of the nation and a coalition of non-European invaders led by high-IQ and viciously anti-European Ashkenazim.
The Russian Revolution itself was simply a multi-ethnic uprising against Russians. Lenin, Stalin and Trotsky had zero Russian ancestry. Lenin explicitly stated that his goal was to end Russian ethnic chauvinism.
Noah Morris
every single episode is

>implying the right and left temporarily shouldn't combine forces to combat liberalism
It's the only way
Matthew Hall
They take in over 100k a month and don't redistribute the wealth. Absolute capitalist pigs
Cameron Wilson
TRS is much better than basedlatte trap house. The Daily Shoah and Fash the Nation produce way better content
Stryker is too autistic about nazbol shit, its getting pretty annoying
Joseph Gutierrez
degenerate
Bentley Reyes
I'm guessing there's going to be TDS listeners here since we're probably the only ones who know of these goobers due to circumstance
Does anyone else have trouble with the most recent audio-files (JNJ, S&M, TDS)? I listen to them on the phone and most of them just stop playing after one hour, then go back to the start. Skipping ahead makes it randomly continue from somewhere else. I can't finish any of those shows and its driving me crazy
Lincoln Watson
But bro, they had a chair factory during that 2 months and it was super succesful
-some AnarchoCommunist faggot
Blake Roberts
>implying liberalism is the problem and not Zionists who use liberalism as a weapon
Dylan Rodriguez
Liberalism is absolutely the problem. Every present day ill is traceable back to the idea that the individual is a free and sovereign entity whose "right" to indulge his or herself is paramount above all other concerns.
There's a straight, ruler-drawn line between Mill and Locke and faggots parading around in women's underwear in front of kids, or guys who lop off their testicles claiming they are women. This is the natural outcome of liberalism.
Jason Barnes
Hate to agree with the Communist, but seriously, Liberalism is ALWAYS the problem.
From the start it was doomed to end up with fags raping kids, it's just the way it was designed.
Leo Ortiz
Hey shill commie faggot stop posting about these literal nobodies.
pic related shows just how popular they are.
