It's worth noting that he has made a video talking with one of these detractors, Hakim, and they have largely made up their differences. For example, analyzing the critique by Hakim, Vaush claims that they misunderstood his thesis (“voting for Joe Biden is better than Donald Trump, and how that’s supported in socialist thinking”) as support for centrist neoliberal corporatism rather than as a tool to spread libertarian socialism in direct democracy, and that the critiques presented are overly pedantic and not worth discourse over, with little grounding in the theory that he was quotemining. However, in a recent stream, Vaush reviews his criticisms and claims that they misunderstood his use of theory and his arguments. According to some critics, Vaush quote-mined and read summaries of works instead of reading from the works he referenced, arriving at a misreading of the theoretical works. He later defended his position with the use of revolutionary theory he claimed he read recently.
