I am posting this here in case anyone has his videos archived for preservation purposes. I haven’t found anything yet.

I’m not sure the best community on Lemmygrad to post this, so I am posting it here.

One of the communist YouTube channels I watched occasionally was The Red Spectre, aka Australia’s communist sweetheart, and his channel is no longer existing on the platform, unfortunately. I hope it returns, or at the very least his videos are archived somewhere and will be available on another platform. Here’s his channel from the Wayback Machine.

From my comment below:

I have found some videos (not just the web page, but the actual video included) from the Wayback Machine so far:

• Yes, Labor Is Responsible for Robodebt
• Sorry, NSW Labor Is Just as Hostile to Environmental Activism

That’s all I could find on the Wayback Machine. If you want to look at the eight videos I could see from here, here’s the links to each:

• Albanese Is Not a Better Alternative
• Yes, Labor Is Responsible for Robodebt
• James Holland, USSR and the Politics of Historical Revisionism
• Julia Gillard: The Girlboss Who Hates Women
• B-But Muh Crony Capitalism!
• Sorry, NSW Labor Is Just as Hostile to Environmental Activism
• China Ends Zero-COVID
• Armchair “Historian”: All Arms, No Brains

Update:

I found a few more videos within my NewPipe subscription database.

First, here’s the links of the four videos on the Wayback Machine (calendar view):

• Robodebt Royal Commission: What It Is and Isn’t
• Che, the Trotskyist?! 😧💀
• Labor’s $10 Billion Housing Fund Is a Lie
• There’s No Such Thing as “Government Inaction” on Climate Change

From the previous links, you may find the following videos that were successfully archived:

• Che, the Trotskyist?! 😧💀
• Labor’s $10 Billion Housing Fund Is a Lie

I was able to download the four videos I could find using yt-dlp. You may download them yourself with these commands:
