His factual errors and deliberate distortions are pointed out in literally every one of those videos. If you’re implying that BPS would have opposed slavery, I think that’s ridiculous.
Er, George Orwell was an *extremely* ardent socialist (https://www.biographyonline.net/socialism-george-orwell/ …), Ann Coulter was the one who said that. Orwell was an actual communist revolutionary in Spain, he just loathed Stalinism (in part bc Stalinists invaded Catalonia) and totalitarianism.

I read just a bit about Derrida’s political views, but Marxism was VERY popular w/his ilk in the 60s, it’s at least an influence. I just know he hated the French Communist Party, was called a “libertarian pessimist” in the 80s, & acted SUPER pro-Marx once the US was unchallenged

But just FYI, political Marxists don’t believe Marxism has failed. Many believe *Leninism* has generally failed, which I also believe, but political Marxism has a wide range of interpretations, bc Marx wasn’t specific as to what an ideal government for socialism would look like
