Was Marx an Egalitarian on Human Nature?
Переглядів 10116 годин тому
Marx, due to his belief in dialectical materialism (human psychology is downstream from biology,) and his adoption of Darwin's theories, was probably not an egalitarian in the sense that we're familiar with today. Alt Hype style archive footage for the video. I couldn't be bothered to record anything.

great vid
feminist insanity has no limits or boundaries
Let’s go! Dropping the content non stop. How often do you read? I am impressed by your depth of knowledge.
My knowledge is actually not that deep. I'm kind of a dilettante, and to be honest I don't read an insane amount of books. I've read quite a few over the years but mostly I operate on rough gestalts of things, or I get information third-hand. Most of my reading was libertarian literature and Traditionalism and a handful of other books here and there. I'm working on reading my opponents more thoroughly to address that problem though. I'm always afraid that I'm just strawmanning my opponents.
@ thanks for the response. I just read the communist manifesto for that very reason. You were reading das capital it seems, is that worth the commitment?
@@MilesRules97 I'm not all the way through it. I basically just started but it's definitely interesting. It's worth it if you want to understand Marxism, obviously. Though it's worth noting that Socialism =/= Marxism, so it's not a complete picture of what leftists believe.
Hey there! I'm actually reading through his volumes of Kapital right now and have a few thoughts, specifically regarding the part on the "supreme T-Shirts" point. Marx does discuss the idea of price fluctuation due to supply and demand, and when prices rise so does the value of the labor. It's important to note that weird "outliers" like the supreme t-shirt were few and far between almost 200 years ago, but they did have some representation in the form of luxury goods that were similar to normal commodities, but made and priced for the upper class. So this fits fine within the theory, in my opinion, as the value of the labor for a supreme T-shirt is quite high, considering the value they can be sold for. Its important to remember Marx discusses this as a paradox within capitalism itself and so it affects labor value. Marx also discusses elements of "subjective value" when discussing the purchase of goods for a lower price then reselling the same good for a higher price, stating that subjective value is merely supply and demand working on the market itself. It isnt that the LTV, IE the variable costs, decide the sell-value of an item, rather that both work in tandem, as supply and demands puts its own force on the market which in turn affects the LTV. However, back then, items that were scarce with higher demand were usually only scarce due to the labor needed to create said items, and copywrites/patents creating artificial scarcity (or demand) wasnt something that was exactly common back then either, and so they also fit within the theory when the most minuscule amount of grace is given. I feel like most of this stems from a lack of understanding (whether purposeful or not) of the LTV as a whole, especially in regards to Marx's writings, as it is pretty clear that the value of labor both affects and is effected by supply and demand. He mentions this in regards to a few examples, such as the cotton trade, in which supply went down increasing the cost of goods on the market, thus increasing the value of the labor exerted on the cotton still entering the British market, whilst the labor put into the commodities made from the cotton did not increase in value. Marx never stated subjective value was wrong, merely that the only reason why things have value is due to the labor put into them. Without the labor exerted on an object it wouldnt exist and thus not have value. Meanwhile, if an object (like mudpies) were to have such a low value that it falls below the minimum labor value to create it then it isnt made, hence why mudpies isnt an industry. All that to say, they are not mutually exclusive. Labor *adds* value to an object on the mere fact that without it the object would not exist, even when machines are used to make the object, without the labor there to maintain and operate the machine those objects wouldnt be made either. So even if social demand due to branding or a patent increases the subjective value of a commodity, that does not mean the labors value stays the same, rather the value of the labor increases, usually increasing the surplus labor "stolen" from the worker. This is specifically explained early on in the book when discussing gold, something you specifically state can not have its value explained by the LTV, which is simply not true, Marx discusses gold, silver, and diamonds value at length, the same logic can be applied to the other examples given. In fact, his assumption of diamonds, that the value would fall if it was easier to make them, was mostly true, save for clever advertising and artificially created scarcity, something else he touches on. His entire idea of equilibrium pricing was merely how it *ought* to be, that social labor is set up in a way to meet social demand. But most of that is touched on in Volume 3, which I havent gotten to yet save for a brief skim of its contents. That said, I am by no means a marxist, I find his theories interesting and find the painting of countries like the USSR, the third reich, or china as "marxist" a bit silly when you look at their economics. I did enjoy your breakdown of the common "bad arguments" used against marxist theory, but was disappointed to find further misinterpretation (something that seems to be no fault of your own) within the meat of the video. I do disagree with Marx that a system without exploitation can not exist within human society, as humans naturally *want* to exploit their fellow man if it means they can get ahead, however I think its an important study on the fallacy of the need for "infinite growth" we see within our capitalistic society, and the infinite exploitation of the planet and people that arises from it. I also believe that people should be entitled to at least an amount of pay that equals what it takes to survive, without charity or government assistance. If a business model can not do so without taking a loss, it shouldnt exist as its' entire model thus relies on turning people into wage and charity slaves.
Well-said. It's maybe fair to say that the increased subjective value of a Supreme shirt might also increase the value of the labor that goes into it. Though I would hesitate to say that Marx wanted subjectivity to factor into the LTV with the exception of use value (which accounts for the psychological element.) He seems pretty adamant wrt to commodity fetishism that value is something that has a quasi-objective character immanent in a commodity. He also states that labor is "homogenous," which to me implies that labor doesn't really have differential value that could fluctuate in relation to the subjective value of the good. No matter if a good has higher or lower use value, the labor remains what it is. Still, you could say Supreme shirts are explicable purely in terms of supply and demand (i.e. why a market flooded with cheap fake Supreme shirts wouldn't hurt the value of an actual Supreme shirt.) But arguably that wouldn't change the value of the labor, since people do not specialize in making Supreme shirts only. The supply of shirt manufacturers remains the same as for other shirts. Thus the actual Value (capital V, value in the Marxian sense) of the shirt should remain in line with other shirts. IMO only in the subjective theory of value can we explain why Supreme shirts have greater exchange value than a normal shirt.
3 videos in 3 days hell yeah

what happened to the video you did about postmodernism and marxism?
I didn't like it so I deleted it.
Christians are horrible.
Dang so many uploads. Thanks for all these vids, I learn a ton from you
As someone also on the right. I have read every single important work in the Marxist canon. And I'd say you're right that Marx and Engels weren't exactly egalitarians, and even Lenin and Stalin weren't. My main issues with Marxism are it's philosophical starting point and methodology, and as much as Classical Marxist-leninists say they aren't utopians, they are unavoidably utopian.
Elaborate on the last bit more
Quality analysis, this needs more views.
It feels like learning XYZ about a historical event is pointless to convince leftists because they will still believe their own narrative regardless. I didn't know the Theosophy Society had a role in ending the caste system in India, and even if you told a leftist or a lib that whites brought the train or electricity or whatever to India, they would still be ungrateful and resentful, ignoring the goods and emphasizing the bads.
Your analysis of Joel V Drew is your best video I think.
Yeah probably. I'm really struggling for ideas at the moment.

Good to see you back, and good video. I agree with most of your points, however I am choosing to wait and see how it plays out before making a final judgement. Not looking great as of now. Also I don’t think Russia wants to annex all of Ukraine. Have you noticed that this saga has pushed most right wingers closer to the center and has gotten them all bought into the system again? Quite concerning.
Those who voted for Trump a second time thinking that anything will be different as the first time, are as delusional as the leftists.
Imo we might actually see some form of right wing ascendancy, but only because they need to throw a bone to the American martial class (White males) to get them sign up for a war they plan with Iran.
We will get some deportations, will it even be 1 million? Once the media starts crying and fostering hysteria Trump will back down. Courts will hold up the process. Trump said deportations start day 1, repeal anchor baby policies etc.
You do know that Kamala was still going to support the Zionist movement?
Great to see a new video from you, you're very insightful. Have you just had no ideas for vids or nothing to say? You've been gone for a few months. Cheers! Also I'm not hopeful for Trump 2.0 either
Things are just really slow lately and I've ran out of ideas for videos that wouldn't just be me repeating myself. I'm gonna do a bunch of reading in the next few months, will probably make some videos about Marx since I plan on reading him and Engels, as well as Adam Smith and Ricardo.
No party for the white man.
Love your videos bro but this one aged like milk, academic agent was right about this one.
"Morrowind is more complicated than Skyrim", there, I saved you an hour and 3 minutes.
Morrowind is not complex
Morrowind is my favorite Elder Scrolls game, but I get a good chuckle when I see Morrowind fanboys crying over someone not liking the game.
I’m replaying this right now and I haven’t played this since Xbox. This game is still the best i immediately fell back into it and it’s really great. To me it’s one of the greats like FF7, Chrono Trigger, FF6, legend of the dragoon, Eldenring and dark souls 3. Resident evil remake
wow!
Get good
I imagine this video’s getting ratioed pretty hard. You’d might as well make a video stating checkers is better than chess.
I’m happy I’m not the only one. Downloaded Morrowind, modded it & played for the first time. So far, unimpressed. Tbh prefer Daggerfall to Morrowind
Imagine you start the game have all these neat stats to begin with... and then you miss, miss , and ... guess.. yes you miss. Im sorry but it feels like where there are right answers theres just more wrong answers to why morrowind was the best. Also if you said you can mod morrowind to make it more adjustable you are giving Skyrim more credit so thats not a winning Argument.
0:35 “this is a presumptuous title” proceeds to presume the entirety of the video without actually watching it lol
why did u delete ur latest vid on postmodernism.
I have played Morrowind every year since it came out 20+ years ago. No other RPG has held its attention for me so well. The other games you mention, like the Witcher 3, are not even in the same league. I can't play W3 for more than a few hours before I'm completely bored. Morrowind is the GOAT.
Morrowind is the best one though. I started with Skyrim and worked my way backwards. It’s crazy to see just how much game Bethesda has sacrificed with each subsequent release.
I find it strange that at 6:00 you say that most fans would agree that it would be better if bethesda spend a little time fleshing out offending features rather than removing them. But then at around you start listing off reasons why features were removed. Like spears. Why spears? Why not axes? There are as many spear artifacts as axe artifacts (2) Yes, there are many more NPCs that use axes than spears, but thats a bethesda problem, not an inherent one. Also spears (poke-poke) are way more distinct from swords and maces than axes (swing-swing). Unarmed is an even weirder case 1st it is very reliable in duels since a sleeping enemy cant fight back. 2nd you yourself said it got viable in oblivion (where it dealt both health and fatigue damage and had power attacks). So why did it get removed in skyrim? Medium armor is kinda meh, though it would have made more sense in skyrim/ oblivion where you cant mix armors. Unarmored - if bethseda didnt like it, why do oblivion and skyrim have mechanics specifically for not wearing armor (spell effectiveness and mage armor perks)? I will close out with what you say at 36:20 Behtesda implements a mechanic poorly -> people dont like it -> bethesda removes the mechanic, whcich is a good choice, since the mechanic was (implemented) bad(ly) Also 23:00 magicka potions and absorb spell exist
20 minutes in and I can tell you know close to nothing about how the game's system works. It's extremely simple to understand and your takes on magic is probably the worst i've ever heard.
The game tells you when you hover over fatigue that you need a higher fatigue to have a higher chance of performing actions. The combat system can be explained in 2 sentences or less: Turn always best attack on, your level on that weapon type you're using and your stamina determine your chances of hitting an attack. You might need a quick google search, but after that the game is smooth sailing in the combat.
Does anyone have information on Joel including his real name, willing to pay
38:47 i feel like you havent really explored magic skills at all based on this analysis. Stealth might be objectively weak due to the mechanic being a bit broken and characters not moving, but magic is by far the strongest of any es game and probably any playstyle in morrowind. Get a soultrap enchant on a weapon and your enchanting goes up super fast. You wanna do alchemy? Get yourself a hideout and store ingredients and equipment there. These are the two most op skills in the game. All the castable magic is also super strong and as long as you plan ahead rather than charging brainlessly into enemies, magic is usually the easiest way to navigate any situation.
Good video except that you chose to be transphobic
None of the modern Elder Scrolls games are perfect, not be a LONG way, but I feel like on balance, Oblivion got the most right. It's the underrated middle ground. The only major issue with Oblivion is the levelling system/level scaling; if you install a mod to fix that and don't touch anything else, it's easily the most mechanically competent and successful RPG of the three. ETA: Damn dude that Shezarrine rant fuckin btfos any other youtuber I have ever heard talk about these games, bro knows his lore
