I don’t know how to feel about this
IMHO it likely presented what both men would have thought of the other pretty well
Edit : they did actually read Marx huh
also :
emoji material maybe ?
Marx throwing it back😳😳😳??? Awoogaa
definitely
marx-thicc
I’m really, really fucking tired of ERB reducing complex sociopolitical talking points to two crackerized talking head caricatures rapping at each other. I have no problem with the concept, but ever since the Guy Fawkes vs Che Guevara rap battle, I’ve mostly sworn off ERB, and the Rasputin vs Stalin rap was shit too.
Part of me wants to watch this, but another part of me knows what the comments will be like.
I’m in the same boat. Comments really aren’t that bad, mostly just nostalgiaposting. The battle itself was nowhere near the levels of cringe as the two you mentioned… Ford mostly reads as he was – a rich, Nazi sympathizing moron – and Marx kinda kills it tbh.
I mean it is made for a general audience , so I dont blame them too much for not putting in the work to actually understand the political ideas of those they presented in the past , quite the opposite , I think it is great that they did actually read Marx while making this video .
Well is there any real way to delve into material dialects and other socialist theories in a video like this without putting everyone to sleep instantly?
Even then, Marx won by a long shot.

That is because ERB is not about an educational channel dedicated to teaching sociopolitics: it’s a humor channel about rap battles between either historical figures or fictional characters that got popular more than a decade ago for putting Darth Vader to rap against Hitler and Lincoln against Chuck Norris. As with other youtube fades of the era like Smosh, Nyan cat and The Annoying Orange, I don’t find it funny, not at least since I left middle school, but we gotta be fair nonetheless and understand that it’s just a silly series of videos aimed to entertain, not to educate nor to make an academic exposition of political themes.
I always wondered why nazis were posting memes with the annoying orange, but when he started doing AO NFTs and it all started to click.
That was better than I expected.
Some people who watch this are going to say “wtf is a Hegelian?” and some of those people are gonna look it up and learn.
Some people who watch this are going to find out about Ford’s long distance bromance with Hitler, and some of those people are gonna go down that rabbit hole and learn.
Multiple people send me this today lol
They made Marx obviously win; he was a banger. I appreciate they read Marx and favored the song to him over the Nazi fanboy.
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
