Criticisms

Marxism Today has expressed ultra-left tendencies condeming AES states such as, China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos and the DPRK as “…having unfortunately embraced revisionism, or the capitalist road.”[8] He believes China to be a capitalist, imperialist state despite never debunking his own video stating otherwise.[9][10][11]
