This week we take a deep dive into one of the most popular Marxist Leninists MAGA communists in the media, Jackson Hinkle. With over 2 million followers on Twitter, he's had the ear of Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones and many other prominent media figures. Where did he come from and why is he special?
The long and short of it, is everything he has done has been for clout. We mostly let Hinkle speak for himself here, but he arose from a small time streamer to a major media figure seemingly over night. We go over what his beliefs are, his understanding of communism, his adulation of Russia, China, Putin and Trump, as well as his transphobia by accusing all Nazis of being gay and transgender going as far as calling them all "f****ts".
At the end of the day he has no fundamental understanding of Marxism, his demeanor changes depending on who he is talking to, and ultimately he is a massive grifter and likely doesn't believe in what he's saying.
Also we welcome newcomer Joe, you can find him on youtube as Radicalize Me.
