I think the thing the video fails to stress enough is the importance of the revolutionary program to the insurgency. Che failed because he failed to pay attention to his own lessons (and perhaps didn't fully understand them) about the primacy of the revolutionary program.
The true power of the insurgency comes from the things the state *cannot* compromise on.
Progressive lawmakers are demanding that the Democrats use the upcoming government funding deadline to reduce DHS’s ability to wreak further havoc.
“I just don’t understand how we provide votes for a bill that funds the extent of the depravity,”

The Avi Lewis AMA on Reddit this afternoon was interesting. He didn't answer my question, and I'll eventually get over it, but he was swinging for the fences with his ideas. His responses would resonate I think with MastoCanucks as they pretty much call for the government to get more involved in providing real solutions. Including building 1M public homes, tackling U.S. ownership of our media, getting rid of FPTP with electoral reform, guaranteed income programs, publicly owned options for major business categories (banks, grocery, phones, etc). Those big ideas could wake up and excite voters while at the same time facing huge opposition from big businesses and wealthy Canadians who would face a new wealth tax.
I hope he wins the leadership. At the very least he'll push the Liberals to be bolder, and maybe even lead a minority government that could bring some of his ideas to fruition.

What’s really amazing about vibe-coding is how people are replacing programming languages which are strictly deterministic with human speech which is highly ambiguous and expect programming to be faster and better.
“Well only use it when you’re already an expert!”
None of the people starting their careers using this technology are experts yet, nor will the ever be.
And within some finite amount of time nether will you, the expert, be an expert anymore.
