Cacophony of Sophistry

I have a philosophy degree instead of a personality, and a youtube channel instead of a hobby.
Philosophy of Kengan Ashura: Marxist Alienation
I hope you enjoy this video essay where I look at the themes of Kengan Ashura.
Follow me on twitter OfSophistry
I really like the idea of analyzing the ideas and themes of Kengan Ashura since I think the premise of the manga lends itself to this kind of analysis.
Marx detailed his theory of alienation in the economic and philosophical manuscripts of 1844:

If anyone is interested in a more academic explanation of Marx's concept of alienation then please check out this video by Gregory B. Sadler. He is an actual philosophy professor,, but I know more about anime than him (probably): ua-cam.com/video/SjzybnHNgLg/v-deo.html

I just finished watching all three seasons of this anime and this video is excellent. Thank you sir! You got yourself a new subscriber ❤
I kinda have to disagree with the society thing. It kinda depends on what you mean by society besides Ohma, and to a lesser extent Kuroki most characters have communities
Such an amazing video man
Bruh, do more philosophical analysis of dumb anime please
49:22 I see this Jurassic Park reference
As flawed as capitalism is, communism is infinitely worse. There is no perfect system, there is only sucky and less sucky.
interesting take. solid video.
Please upload more I like your videos.
Thanks! I should have some more out pretty soon
This needs hundreds of thousands of views wtf
MARXIST VOMIT. NO ONE CARES. WORK HARDER AND BUILD YOURSELF UP. ANYTHING ELSE IS JUST AN EXCUSE. DONT LIKE YOUR JOB? WORK UNTIL YOU FIND A BETTER ONE OR START YOUR OWN. DONT LIKE YOUR POSITION IN LIFE? DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. DONT SIT HERE LIKE SOME CRY BABY COMMIE BECAUSE PEOPLE WONT PAY YOU FOR YOUR ASSUMED WORK. NOTHING WAS EVER ACHIEVED THAT WAY. EVERY FIGHTER KNOWS THE VALUE OF CAPITALISM BECAUSE EVERY FIGHTER KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO BUILD YOURSELF UP FROM NOTHING, DAY IN AND DAY OUT TRAINING FOR NOTHING EXCEPT THE HOPE OF ONE DAY BEING A BETTER VERSION OF YOURSELF. IT TAKES WORK AND OFTEN UNNOTICED WORK TO BECOME EVEN A MEDIOCRE FIGHTER LET ALONE A CHAMPION. NO ONE WILL HAND IT TO YOU. COMMUNISM AND MARXISM ARE ALL ABOUT HANDOUTS. CAPITALISM IS ABOUT DOING IT YOURSELF.
Cacophony: man really sad Ohma died Kengan Omega: haha funny thing actually, you’re gonna get a kick out of this 😅
Great video! Would you ever do a take on baki?
Thanks! I might do a video on Baki at some point, but I'll have to reread it and make sure that I actually have something interesting to say about it first.
Why is this Video not being watched more? Bloody great Video
I usually don't engage with Marxist commentary but this is some good shit, good job man.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@CacophonyofSophistry Marxist is a dude that never cared about the working people.
What a great video
This was really interesting to watch, great job 👏
Thank you so much! I was a bit nervous when I first released this video, so I really appreciate this comment.
