Glowie and Capy break down the TikTok creator @khanifesto161, a self-described communizer/leftcom who rejects Marxism-Leninism and actually existing socialist states (AES). The episode explores a series of takes arguing that only “full communism” matters, while all historical socialist projects are dismissed as capitalist or irrelevant.

The conversation also dives into broader debates within leftist spaces, including left communism vs Marxism-Leninism, the role of the state in socialist development, and what socialism actually means in theory and practice.

In this episode we cover:

• The ML -> Hoxhaist -> leftcom pipeline. Dogmatism and anti-revisionism.
• Deng Xiaoping vs Khrushchev and the Sino-Soviet Split.
• Is Marx a prophet sent down by god?
• Slander against angloids. Why don't angloids wash soap off their dishes? Why don't they like flavor?
• Spontex: The daddy of leftcoms
• The claim that only “full communism” matters, and that all existing socialist projects (USSR, China, DPRK, etc.) are just capitalism and therefore irrelevant.
• Glowie trying to comprehend the incomprehensible (what leftcoms are even talking about).
• Left communist and communizer arguments against developing the productive forces, industrialization, and poverty reduction don't matter.
• The idea that anarchists are “more communist” than Marxist-Leninists because they reject the nation-state entirely.
• The claim that if Marxist-Leninists existed in 1871, they would have attacked Marx for criticizing the Paris Commune.
• Broader questions about theory vs practice, historical materialism, and whether communism can be achieved without transitional stages or state power.
• Leftcom vs ML discourse online, including how ultra-left positions often dismiss real-world revolutionary movements.
