    This lecture is frankly, dogshit. It’s clear you don’t have any deep understanding of Marxism and thus shouldn’t be teaching it. You most likely got your summations of Marxism from UA-cam videos or short articles by liberals rather than reading his works for yourself or any texts by Marxists. Honestly your presentation is hard to sit through because the ignorance is glaring and it’s frustrating that you’re so ignorant yet you’re trying to teach others on the topic from an authoritative position.

    The third estate did not represent 98% of the french, because the estates, first second and third, had to be conjured up in 1789 itself. From old political machinations from hundreds of years ago. People were not asked identity cards are you first estate, second, or third, french society was never segmented like that. It was actually Necker that was responsible for this whole mess for suggesting the "estates general" be called and divided people into camps. Tribes. And opposing teams. Much like trumpians and anti trumpians today. Recipe for civil strife. The myth of clergy and nobles horseriding blindfolded peasants is total slanderous fantasy

    The Emancipation Proclamation happened during the Cvil War. It wasn't really a cause. In fact, Lincoln the lawyer used the war to exploit a clause in our Constitution that gave him the ability to cease enemy property during times of war. He had very little confidence that it would be upheld if it went to the Supreme Court, which is why he worked very hard to push through an anti-slavery constitutional amendment before the war ended.

    In addition to economic barriers to equality, it was also very much a social thing too. When slavery ended, it was very difficult for some Americans to see them as anything other than slaves. True equality relies upon the way people view one another. Unfortunately people were unable to change their way of thinking .

    If one is really after truth, then they must always be careful of the 'status quo' authors and lecturers who may have a monetary agenda, like keeping to an agenda that will be more conducive to getting their book published, or to get a research grant, etc. One of the greatest missing research topics by university academia is their ignorance of the difference between Christianity and Communism involving the Vietnam conflict. That subject, which actually is at the heart... of the cause for the Vietnam conflict, is most often omitted from academia and university professor writings and lectures; as a historical subject it just doesn't fit their 'status quo'. And any attempt to cover both philosophies as being co-equal, and neither at fault, is simply not according to the truth of the matter. 1. The U.S. actually supported Ho Chi Minh's guerillas in fighting against the Japanese during WWII. Indonesia had been a French colony prior to WWII, and when Nazi Germany defeated the French, the Japanese would also take Indonesia. After WWII, Ho Chi Minh petitioned the U.S. for continued support in order to unite all of Vietnam. Instead, the U.S. refused, no doubt because Vietnam had been a colony belonging to France, and the French returned Vietnam to colonial status after the war. Ho Chi Minh went to get help from the French after WWII in hopes of their supporting Vietnam independence, and was refused by them also. That is when Ho Chi Minh turned to Communism and petitioned aid from Soviet Russia and Red China. His Viet Minh guerillas would then become known as the Viet Cong, and begin the fight against the French army troops stationed in Vietnam, what some call the first Vietnam war. France would lose at Dien Bien Phu, and international agreement was made to divide Vietnam into a North and South sections, the North under Communist control, and the South under the democratic free people of South Vietnam. 2. The Communist Viet Cong guerillas from the North began terrorist operations against the people of South Vietnam. This is when the president of South Vietnam, who was a Christian Catholic, asked for support from the United States during the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations. U.S. military aid and U.S. advisors were then sent to South Vietnam. The Communist North was getting military aid from Soviet Russia and Red China. U.S. foreign policy has traditionally been to lend help to any country that asks for help in establishing a free, independent democratic government. That history by the U.S. should be obvious if one simply looks at how the U.S. helped foreign nation's reconstruction after WWII, even Axis nations like Germany, Italy, and Japan. 3. The REAL CAUSE of the Vietnam War -- -- Christian morality vs. Communism. That's the gist of it. World Communism does not have philosophy of individual freedoms as God-given inalienable rights. Christianity does. Communism instead deems each person as 'property' of the state, and the person's rights also defined only by the Communist state. That Communist philosophy they apply even down to the family unit, the Communist Party claiming authority to divide up families and their children for the benefit of the state. Their philosophy is against the idea of private property, as everything, including the person, belongs to the state, and is at the will of the state, whatever that may be at the time. Christianity is against all those Communist notions and practices. Communist philosophy is 'forced' upon its populations, even without the person having to become a Communist Party member. Christianity is not forced upon anyone, it is a choice offered to all. 4. Just as Communist takeover of 1917 Russia and 1947 Red China happened using 'force', murder, assassinations, propaganda lies that it would be ultimately good for the people in those lands, Ho Chi Minh made the same mistake in North Vietnam by inviting Communism into Vietnam, even though Ho claimed he was only trying to unite all of Vietnam for Vietnamese independence, which of course was a propaganda lie, Ho even quoting from the U.S. Declaration of Independence to the North Vietnamese peoples. Ho was not ignorant of what the Communist Parties in Russia and Red China had done to the peoples there involving ideas of independence, which they also used that freedom speech false ploy to deceive their peoples. Just as the North Korean Communists had done in 1950 Korea with invading South Korea, Ho did the same kind of thing in South Vietnam with his Viet Cong guerilla force, using assassination, torture, hunger, seizing young men by force for service in the Viet Cong force, stealing the people's rice supplies, murdering village officials in South Vietnam, basically acting as TERRORISTS upon the South Vietnamese peoples. It was the North Vietnamese Communists that invaded... South Vietnam, not the other way around. Just as Lenin had said that, "war is a continuation of politics by other means," that reveals the huge difference between Communist philosophy and Christian thought. The Liberal-Leftists will try and make you think that Christians don't have the right to defend theirselves, and their country and people. They will attempt to portray the Christian peoples as the ones that are violent and push their doctrines upon other nations. And many on both sides really are ignorant of those that work behind the scenes of world politics that intentionally create... wars so as to make money off of them, which those do not represent the Christian peoples. Few would believe that Communist philosophy actually began in the Western nations among a small group of bankers and financiers, and those so-called elites are still pulling those strings today. They do not represent the American people, nor Christianity. They represent themselves, and they have no country, money is their country.

    You left out Ho's direct entreaties to Truman and the US State dept, further indicating Ho as nationalist rather than avowed communist. Ho even used part of the words of the US declaration of independence in his speeches when the Viet Minh took power in Hanoi, and in his letters offered the US a naval base in Viet Nam. The Dulles Brother were probably the greatest supporter of the French, esp. the Catholics church, the greatest land owner in Viet Nam. Diem (Diệm, pronounce more like Ziem or a "Y" in the south) was perfect of their purposes, but never had popular support and never built an inclusive government, but basically governed by French Mandarins, that excluded non-Catholics. John Prados book: Vietnam: The History of an Unwinnable War, 1945-1975, is probably the most currently researched tome on this subject. One theory for the prolonged war is the need to train and equip our Army post Korea (which descimated the NCOs in the army) and to demonstrate to Moscow that the US was willing to fight an unpopular war. MLK, jr was likely killed for opposing the war. HOLYSHIT you end on the MYTH of the hippie girl spitting on returning troops and calling them baby-killers; this is totally a modern myth, a-historical, as is the myth that the US could have won...except for the damn politicians. Yeah, veterans had little support from the VA, etc, but this was not new. They had the same system as WWII vets, but not given parades for losing. By 1970 the army under MACV was completely falling apart, refusing to fight, and "fragging" platoon lieutenants...along with doing heroin, etc. The JCS wanted out, and as some said "we bombed them into accepting our concessions." Lastly everyone lecturing on the war should read Nick Turse's book "Kill anything that Moves". My Lai was hardly an isolated event, the war's success was being measured on solely on "Body-count", thus conflating civilian casualties with NLF & NVA. Lastly, people here (Viet Nam) are still being injured by UXOs, and as you mention dioxins from the massive defoliant use. The effects of which were denied by the Pentagon for years despite the number of effected veterans...who were "spit-on" by the DoD with Agent Orange. Thus endth the rant. Please visit Viet Nam, meet these incredible people and learn more about "The American War" , as it is called here.

    The Republic had support from teh Soviet Union, in exchange for cash (gold) and volutnteers. The rebellion side had Italian and German help (no demand for payment) plus volunteers too. In a way to make sure France kept out and the US key businesses gave Franco credit might have bene the best help the Nationalist side got.

    My Great Grandfather was a corporal from Victoria who fought in Ypres II and was shot and gassed, but survived, after being reported KIA in the Vancouver Sun in May of 1915. He returned to fight later in the war, but was sent back to London to be a clerk as his wounds were limiting his ability to keep up with the rest of the troops. His younger brother was killed in February of 1916 in the preliminary fighting over the high grounds outside Ypres leading up the battle of the Somme that Spring.

    Just about every Marxist I've ever known is an academic or an unemployed hipster. They always think anyone who objects to the authoritarian tyranny of despots who hide behind political jargon just "doesn't understand socialism." I've been a rank and file union man for twenty years. Anyone who thinks destroying workers' councils and killing Anarchists is justifiable is a liar or a useful idiot.

    Lots of great stuff here and thank you for sharing. Just a few notes: 1. Stolypin was assassinated by the SRs not Conservatives due to his repressive policies against political opponents of the Tsar (Stolypins neckties) and rigging the Duma elections by introducing electoral college after 1996. Initially the 1st Duma in 1906 was very representative of all estates including peasants only women and soldiers were prohibited from voting but Nicholas and Alix were horrified by the dark masses and N had Stolypin work on changing elections to make it more RW and peasants and national minorities lost their representation pushing them further left. Also the rumours of relations between R and Alix were fuelled by socialist propaganda not fact. She was a desperate mother clinging to her only "hope" it was a plot by the aristocracy to assassinate him in 1916 because of his interference in the war effort after Nich had left for the front. These are the more modern bits you were looking for! I really enjoyed listening, thank you! ❤
