Banned Material
There's a Richard Wolff Video that was put out for the 90th anniversary of Lenin's death. Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOulQz3a5o4 The video is blocked in the United States and I'm pretty sure Europe as well. This of course means I NEED TO SEE IT. I don't have an asian proxy at the moment so if your reading this with one, please rip the video off YouTube for me.
Update: it is banned in every single country:
