Writer, journalist, and political analyst Caleb Maupin is the guest on Franc Analysis.
Maupin is seen with one of his books, BreadTube Serves Imperialism: Examining The New Brand of Internet Pseudo-Socialism.
It is a very interesting discussion, which was published to YouTube last Thursday [July 1, 2021], which gives insight to economic systems—capitalism, communism, socialism—with other countries and here.

Changes have been made to Progressives Chat’s listing of “Recommendations.”
No longer recommended are Secular Talk, with Kyle Kulinski, and Breaking Points, with Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti.
My decision was an easy one with Kulinski. One may refer to his June 30, 2021 video, Kyle Addresses Jimmy Dore & Aaron Mate vs TYT, which was a dishonest response to Jimmy Dore regarding especially Aaron Maté on the receiving end of McCarthyism-type attacks by The Young Turks’s Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian. (Kulinski, whose Secular Talk is part of TYT Networks, was dismissive of the attacks—describing it as “drama”—and he deceitfully propped up Kasparian by not mentioning her Twitter DM attempt to blackmail Dore.) Since Dore responded, in a July 1, 2021 livestream [Kyle Kulinski Omits Ana Kasparian's Blackmail Of Jimmy Dore From Video], what was also revealed is that Ball—who co-hosts with Kulinski Krystal Kyle & Friends—is also dishonest. After I viewed what Kulinski was really saying in his video, it should be renamed: I Will Now Remove My Mask.
Replacing them are three from Niko House’s MCSC Network: Fiorella Isabel’s and Craig “Pasta” Jardula’s The Convo Couch, Jesse Zurawell’s and Misty Winston’s Facts on the Ground, and Franco’s Franc Anaylsis. (Kudos to Franco for his warnings about Kulinski! I urgently recommend viewing the first of the following June 2021 videos, Krystal Ball and Kyle Kulinski Normalize Vaush and Kyle Gives Horrible Defense to Criticisms, which I will link below, and Jimmy Dore vs Secular Talk? Is Kyle Kulinski About to be Unmasked?)
Also joining “Recommendations” among video content are Fred Hampton Leftists (https://www.fredhamptonleftists.com/about/) and Sabby Sabs (with FHL’s Sabrina Salvati).
I also added one non-video entry. For a while, Caitlin Johnstone was on Medium. But, she now has her own website. I am pleased to now include her among “Recommendations.”
In addition to these “Recommendations,” I reorganized the list. While I respect Jamarl Thomas, I don’t frequent his videos so much nowadays because most of his time is spent as co-host of Sputnik’s Fault Lines with Shane Stanahan. (Shane’s father, Lee, used to co-host the program with Garland Nixon. It runs three hours during weekday mornings.) So, prioritizing Thomas at No. 2 is no longer applicable to the needs of “Recommendations.” I went ahead and moved up Jimmy Dore Show regular guests Ron Placone and Graham Elwood, with their own respective channels, to follow Dore. Since Kim Iversen has some similar themes in her content as Elwood, she is now in the fourth slot. This isn’t totally based on a numbered order of importance. (I personally watch Hard Lens Media second to The Jimmy Dore Show.) It is for purpose of being logical enough. For example: The Grayzone—with Max Blumenthal, Ben Norton, Aaron Maté, and Blumenthal’s wife Arya Parampil—is available in both video and non-video form. So, The Grayzone appears further down the list to the point in which it segues from video to non-video with both its YouTube channel and its website. This may not be difficult to follow.
There is more for me to mention.
The motivation for Kyle Kulinski, I figure, although it is not of particular importance to me to be accurate, is based on his career and money. Kulinski is now with Krystal Ball, a multimillionaire, past congressional nominee, and former MSNBC anchor, with their program. So, his Secular Talk may as well be considered a video diary. Produced and published however often. No real credible—certainly not a compelling—reason why it should continue to exist.
Due to my personal loss, a few months ago, I wasn’t paying much attention during the first half of 2021 to Kulinski. I did come across, wherever else it was exactly, numerous comments by people who mentioned they unsubscribed within the last six months or a year or two years from Secular Talk. (This reminded me of my exit from The Young Turks, after 2016, well before their very recent, undeniable unmasking.)
I owe a thank-you to Franco of Franc Anaylsis. He alerted me in a way that moved me necessarily. In his [below] video about Kulinski and Ball recently hosting an unsavory guest, one who is generally unfamiliar to me and who goes by the name Vaush, Franco—who has other recommendations of worthy content creators—summed up what has become of Secular Talk: “…Kyle Kulinski’s entire channel is just confirmation-bias porn. Like, I get just as much information reading Kyle Kulinski’s thumbnails as I do if I watch his videos. It’s a huge waste of time for me.…”
I will conclude with the following: If anyone comes across and wants to post videos from those who are no longer recommended, I will not object. I do not want to run Progressives Chat in a way which would suggest to readers I am telling anyone what he or she may or may not post in the comments. I will, of course, maintain control of “Recommendations.”
