The construction of a critical conscience is essential for the emancipation of subjects in the face of the economic, political, social and technological challenges of this new digital culture, marked by platformization, datafication of life and algorithmic performativity, and by information dystopias such as disinformation, fake news, post truth and infodemic. Such awareness can be fostered through different initiatives, institutional or not, based on critical informational practices that lead individuals to act (individually and collectively) in order to transform the reality around them. Thus, this article aims to present a survey of YouTube channels that call themselves Marxist and produce critical educational content capable of providing the construction of critical information literacy on the part of the subjects. This is a descriptive research, with a quantitative and qualitative approach, in which data were collected from field research, through virtual ethnography. A total of 28 channels that promote critical education on YouTube were retrieved, from which, among other things, the date of creation, number of videos published and number of subscribers were retrieved. It was noticed that these channels seek to promote critical awareness in the subjects, based on discussions about concepts and social situations that permeate our daily lives.
