“Contradiction” You keep using that word. It doesn’t mean what you think it means.

Marx's Foundational Tautology Marx writes (Chapter 24, first paragraph, Capital, 1867), "Hitherto we have investigated how surplus-value emanates from capital; we have now to see how capital arises from surplus-value." See the tautology? How did this tautology get past the initial reviews? How did this tautology survive the intervening 157 years without being discovered, except for this political scientist? This again illustrates the magnitude of the Marxist co-option of our institutions. Let's analyze the sentence's tautology... Surplus value is generated by capital, but capital is created by surplus value!

Love the animations thank you

1:50 i always thought this is the real tragedy of the commons

Excellent

Love these videos, theyre helping me in my study group with friends.

Thank you and very calming

Thanks so much for these videos! It helped me as I read along. You explained very complex ideas in approachable ways

Thank you so much for these fantastic uploads. I am using them as a companion to reading the book itself and your explanations are invaluable. The one request I have is that the back ground music at a lower volume as I find it distracting.

bring us the thrilling conclusion, king. being serious the final chapters sound like they go so hard

Saw her "X", she's 'been busy. Congratulations DT. Yeah I'd let her explain Marx. Can't wait to see book 2 I second what another commenter said, this channel is criminally under rated.

thank you for the video!!!, very helpful in deciphering his concepts and their relationship, im studying the financialization of housing, and a prominent figure is David Harvey of the UK and he quotes and builds on Marx's theory

4:08

so useful! thank u

Want english subtitles for all your videos ! could any help be provided ?

This series is criminally underrated

these videos are seriously saving me today I was supposed to read capital up to chapter 11 by today and if it weren't for these videos I would be going to class with way less understanding.

Excellent summary.

I understood the final quotation to be written in the context of a private for profit school as opposed to a state school. I.e. in the first circumstance, a school which produces surplus value. Is that the correct understanding of this passage?

Great series brother! Just less music during the sections you are speaking please

Great video! Thank you very much it helped me a lot

Well done mate

shout out to all my homies taking The Thought of Karl Marx as a sociology 400-level!!!

I am currently reading Capital Volume 1 and have really enjoyed your videos. They feel like a mini reading group and helps to clarify the main points of the chapter. Great job comrade!

Thank you, this was great!

you are saving my life in my sociological theory classthank you!

Will you get to finish the other volumes? I see there has been quite a gap since the last uploads

What version of Capital did you use for the references here? I use the Penguin version and there seems to be small discrepancies in translation. Also would ypu recommend your specific version over others for any particular reason?

Just a reminder that child labour laws are being slackened in the U.S

get rid of the annoying music and it will be a perfect video!

Hey man, awesome work. Been spending more than a month already trying to understand and derive even the smallest implications i can get from Chapter 1 (and still am missing a lot of it unfortunately, even with 3 companion books). Can you recommend a beginner-friendly, but in depth paper/essay/discussion/etc on section 4? I really want to nail it

Your videos are awesome, hope to see more. I'm actually watching this along with Capital and Harry Cleavers '33 Lessons On Capital: Reading Marx Politically'

I don't know about you but...my pee is not for sale!!! 😠

Your videos were always very helpful in understanding such topics. I really wished you finished the first volume.

Great video! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I might be able to pass my sociology exam!🙏

Very interesting putting it in such a context, well done!

Woa Buddy! my eyes are peeled back! Thankyou

Lots of interesting things to take away from these sets of chapter sections. Understanding that European colonial powers only built infrastructure in colonies so long as it helped them export materials to their homeland more cheaply is important historical context. We can see then how absurd it is when reactionaries and liberals today compare this to China using its reserves to fund and provide material support in building infrastructure across Africa and Asia for industrializing, raising living standards across the world, and better diplomatic relations. When you actually read Capital you find that the critique that Marx is Euro-centric or doesn’t provide sufficient analysis for colonialism is absurd, a complete symptom of “haven’t-read-the-book”

Such a good series. Thank you for making it. I recommend it to everyone who wants to understand Capital :)

Thank you for these. Watched each video available after reading each chapter. Really helpful recaps.

You're amazing, thank you so much for all your work here

what's the music

Really looking forward to watching this series! I’ve read some of Capital before but even as someone who has read a decent amount of other theory it’s still pretty rough lol. I’m sure these videos took A TON of time and effort but would you ever consider doing similar guides to other difficult theory?

Finally there is hope I will fully understand Das Kapital, thank YOU!

K now I need to figure out how to make this into a 8 page essay😅

Fantastic and thorough video on a very necessary chapter!

love your work !
