You're the absolute worst.

What is the partys stance on LGBTQ+ People? The CPGB-ML is very anti-LGBT, and there are so many communist parties its super confusing.

I had to look for it, but so glad I found this excellent lecture by Professor Nolan. Wish there were more available from him. Outstanding insights.

👎👎👎

so the R% is the rate of exploitation, if workers work 5 days, 2.5 days is for their wages and 2.5 days is the surplus value?

Very brave to leave this comments section open.

Voluntarism is what everyone should strive for in life, not communism.

If I were you, in a lecture titled "How Broad Frontism requires top down bureaucratic controls" with ten minutes of discussion of various inter-left struggles without at any point defining the terms "Broad Frontism" or what you mean by "top down bureaucratic controls."

Good discussion 🎉😮

Ty

Yet, the notion that "human rights" are actually automatic, coterminous with physical, material, "human-ness", is still NOT "taken-for-granted".

Epic ‼️

2:06:01 I hate it when the spirit of Wario possess me when asked about Democratic Centralism

Complete waste of time. This is a mix of cold war anticom propaganda and Trotskyism. Why give snakes like this guy a platform?

Thank goodness the comments are turned on for at least this one Finkelstein video. thank you❤

I really appreciate these videos. It's just too bad that the comments are turned off for most of them. I think discussion is extremely important when it comes to these topics.

Why does this channel have the comments turned off for most of its videos? Extremely disappointing. 😢

Very interesting debate, must say that I completely disagree with Lazare on a number of issues. First is the idea that supporting a generalised, and by its nature not strongly coordinated, campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions, that this automatically means wholesale agreement with the BDS organisation (and therefore subordination to the perspectives of Hamas). This is clearly not the case, and is ironically contradicted by the insistence (correctly, if we are talking about a Palestinian communist party) about engaging with Histadrut. I also think there is generally an overly sunny view of the consciousness of the Israeli working class which just seems totally out of connection with reality

Doesn't matter what Professor Norman Finkelstein is talking about, stop and listen.

Stalin is the assasination of bolshevism. You are a too much cinic man

Pappe just blatantly misrepresents the facts and he seems to know enough to know that he is doing so.

(Beginning - 26:02) The political prospects of ending the occupation vs. ending Israel (26:03 - 32:07) 1967 was not a war of self-defense, getting the US on board (32:08 - 34:28) 1982 Invasion of Lebanon - Israel killed between 15-20k Lebanese and Palestinian civilians (34:29 - 39:39)The myth of defense and deterrence factors - "Peace offensives" and ceasefires broken (39:40 - 50:22) First Intifada 1987 - Loss of the support of organized left from '82 invasion - Left liberal opinion lost in '87 - Emergence of human rights organizations (50:23 - 57:54) Oslo I and the birth of the Palestinian Authority (57:55 - 1:18:13) Gaza, fact and fiction - (1:05:26 KHamas!😅) - ceasefires broken by Israel - deterrence capacity "rockets" (1:18:14 - 1:20:20) "Terror tunnels" - Hamas realizes Israel doesn't give a damn about its own civilians being killed, only its combatants - (1:20:21 - 1:31:39) Abandonment by int'l community and human rights orgs - IDF soldier testimonies in Breaking the Silence - Four kids killed on the shore - end of main talk (1:31:40 - 1:50:39) Political correctness and the fear of being called antisemitic for acknowledging the existence of the American Jewish lobby - @ 1:50:15 - Man shouts "LET THE COMRADE FINISH HIS CLOSING REMARKS!" 😂 Finkelstein says "Let's not end on a conflictual note", man says "That was me being nice" 🤣- (1:50:40 - end) Civil Rights Movement - Gandhi - possibilities for non-violent resistance in Gaza (pre-Great March of Return) - Int'l community must be shamed into upholding int'l law

Has Michael Robert ever read Roemer's proof of Okishio theorem? :) When all capitalist introduce the new technology the high profit rates of the initial adopters will fall but still it would be a higher value than the old technology. That's what Okishio theorem says.

I live in a communist country. Let me know how this ends because the kommissar says he’ll shoot me in head if I don’t get back to work assembling VCRs.

Such an engaging discussion. My deep thanks Chris.

Well seen comments are disabled on most vids... Just like your brain.

Since the Online Safety Bill is about to become law in the united kingdom, there is no doubt communist Great Britain will soon become reality. Interesting times.

I ❤

Bulsit 👎

This is excellent

Prof. Finkelstein is teaching a class of deaf people.

Commies lol.

Great video, a very interesting presentation. Just as he says, there is great value in these works of history which are both exhaustive and do not come about as either anti-communist or stalinist propaganda. Rosmer is such a remarkable figure, whose life overlapped with so much of the history of socialism in the 20th century, from pre-ww1 pacifism and syndicalism to bolshevism/trotskyism.

Machines is made only by human labor. Surplus value mainly through constant capital is the end of capitalism. Marx main work, do not forget, was the critique of capitalism. In a communist society it is conceivable to think humans will not have to exert labor outside leisure. Not under capitalism.

From hearing Donald's voice on Cosmonaut I always got the impression that he sounds fed up with life, but he actually looks pretty cheery haha.

I wish I had a bookshelf like Jacks. Mines a B&Q.

Su casa es mi casa is true, considering the bank owns the principal to your mortgage.

I think that you'll realize how off your understanding of Marx is as soon as you try to deal with that law of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall.

You've got it backwards. Uber gets MORE profits in the short term (because otherwise it wouldn't have introduced robot taxi drivers. Then Lyft is forced by competition to also introduce them. Then profits of both companies are lower. Don't you remember the passage about the hand loom weavers? It's very early in volume 1. Good people to read on the stuff are Anwar Shaikh and Moishe Postone.

By treating variable capital as just something that the sale price has to include (like constant capital) you skip WHY socially necessary abstract labor time is the substance of value in the first place and gloss over the 'socially necessary abstract' part, IMHO is key.

raving delusional clown.

Did you even read Sraffa? Sraffa uses reductions to dated labour as an aggregation method. His book's whole purpose was to show that you can't aggregate "capital" in prices.

Wht program do you use to modelling?

درود بر شما خیلی عالی بود مرور تاریخ ایران و خیانتها و سختی‌ها و رنجها که بر ایران و مردان و زنان سرزمین مان وارد آمده ، باشد که از تاریخ برای امروز درسی بگیریم ، به امید روزی که در ایران و دنیا شاهد آزادی کارگران و توده ها از ظلم و زنجیر سرمایه داران باشیم

Is there a way to get a copy of the slides? Thanks!

Very interesting talk!

I would cut off my left leg to just sit around and pepper Mike with questions about the history of the left, it's incredible

This guy is an utter clown. He has no understanding of universal grammar. He thinks it's "something to do with a common language" that the Pentagon might be interested in 😂😂. Astonishing hubris to build such lofty conclusions on such an impoverished, groping effort at understanding. And I'm no great admirer of Chomsky's technical work. I think Quine, Putnam and Kripke all offer substantial objections which he doesn't deal with well. But the difference between him and his critics is almost invisible compared with the difference between all of them and this utter clown, Chris Knight.

Pierre Clastres said pretty much the same thing in the 70-ties, even Chris Knight's concluding statement is so Deleuzo-Guattarian... If you speak French, you can see for yourself: ua-cam.com/video/IDlleC1qKNw/v-deo.html 😶
