This was the best guest ever. She so clearly explained the dynamics of the modern society structure. I don't know where she is from or what party she belongs to, but I could listen to her for days.
The idea was to create peer to peer banking system outside the scope of governments, why does she say crypto is a scam when it is but a means to create anonymous and allow fungibility in what i describe. She hurts me so much in what she says of, essentially, my lifes work. It is for freedom, it is to avoid moral hazard. it is to not participate in in fiat moneys horrors like Gaza.
I work at a large retailer. A small and unimportant situation exists there that seems anecdotal of the whole crude capitalist system. Somewhat routinely, the books that haven't sold are gathered up and disposed to make room for new books. In total, it is many books, up to hundreds at a time. They cannot be donated, only destroyed to keep demand higher. Therefore, the company knows that they won't sell all the books they get and the books they do sell pay for the books they don't sell. They will still produce the books they won't sell because they have deduced that they will sell more books by having more books on the shelf. All the labor that contributed to each book is obviously deemed by capitalism to be so cheap that waste is encouraged. If the wages that go into each product cost a fair amount, they couldn't afford waste. In other words, paying fair wages makes better companies. Paying unfair wages will always lead to waste. If a worker causes waste, it is considered a SIN against capitalism. If a company causes far greater amounts of waste, it is considered a miracle of capitalism.
This would be a great question to raise in the Marx Engels Lenin Institute streams (Alex usually answers most if not all pertinent questions). Also, on a personal note, I want to thank you for sharing this story. It's a great example of the crisis of overproduction in capitalism.
Joti Brar is an incredible comunicator, even though I have been looking into marxism for about two years, I still feel like I am learning something when I listen to her
Joti's father is a communist equal clever , so she has 50 years of schooling with max etc. , she's like a lexicon in this field . In a better world she would be prime minister because her concern is the people ❤
Joti Brar is brilliant in this interview she breaks it all down in simple understandable terms and absolutely nails it! Bravo! The world is coming to these realizations as these empires crumble along with the horrible capitalism that has propped them up all these years. The severe inequality tells the tale so clearly just follow the money and you will be enlightened.
A very beautiful and smart girl! I always look forward to her appearing on the Garland podcast. This is one of the most accessible ways to hear it in Russia. We have a channel where we can receive translations of your videos for free. I am 54 years old, I studied political economy at the University of the USSR, and I agree with you, Joti.♥
Joti gives another inspiring lesson to Marxists and Leftists of all stripes, apply theory to real life and make people think. When we read or hear the truth it banishes hopelessness and anxiety. "The truth shall set you free".
Ersatz capitalism in the Philippines. The semi-feudal curse is evident in our countryside. The pre-industrial farming implements will remind you of the era of Charles Dickens.
This is the first time I listen to Joti and it all rings true - mad respect. As intelligent as she is, I'm not sure if she is aware that every human condition is a reflection of humanity's level of consciousness i.e. how close we are to the ultimate truth. Thus, every lasting change happens only because humans are ready for it, not before. The best way to bring about change is through actions, yes, but action with wisdom. There is a sure way to raise our consciousness godspeed. It is an inner science - taught by Jesus and Buddha to only their disciples, though by its nature cannot be recorded in the scriptures - known as the Inner Light and Sound method. Currently one of the most qualified persons to teach it is Supreme Master Ching Hai.
The unfortunate thing is a lot of MAGA people would listen to this brilliant lady and say this lady is an elite because of her eloquence. Pity, they don't know she's fighting for them. This lady have the perfect summary of what capitalism is.
Consideration of Professor Carl Sagans book The Cosmos ? The potential for soft power may exist in the facts and truth shared. Thanks for your information and commitment.
The United Health Care case now in the spotlight is a good illustration of the contradictions and failings of the to system that Comrade Joti Brar is explaining here. It would be interesting to have Garland interview Joti on Communist China and whether it could provide some sort of template for the future of other societies.
Reagan/Thatcher "trickle down" economics was an unapologetic insult on its very face! It was presented as a benign gesture to ALLOW people to glean the excesses from their masters. And it is 50 years old and it stopped trickling decades ago!
It always happened to Britain, when Britain was exploiting the Bengali peasants, it was also exploiting the Welsh miners. If you read Capital, you'll notice how it's full of illustrative anecdotes about the degradation of the working class, nearly all of them from England. Marx also observed how a "lackey" subclass was emerging in parts of southern England and the French Riviera as product of the crumbs of colonialism and he did predict that it should become more common once China were partitioned (what actually never happened but regardless). However the most important bit is probably the effect that the Russian Revolution (and also the Mexican one, and the many that followed, successful or failed) had in forcing Western Capitalism to expand those crumbs (welfare state, New Deal) so the masses became more loyal. That happened especially after WW2 only and didn't last for long, as Reagan and Thatcher were already dismantling it when I was a kid.
Joti Is exactly right the transition should have been made during the 20s-early 30s, the Russians people picked socialism, this terrified the European and US elites so much they created Nazi Germany. Socialism was gaining support in China to which Japan attacked. Savey socialist economist is what is needed in leadership, fewer lawyers, and definitely no actors, used car salesmen and general social baffoons.
Joti is beautiful, smart, and inciteful in every way. In the west this supposed "freedom market" is not free at all especially for the those small number of capitalists that put a stop to the "free" part by placing tariffs or sanctions on other countries like China or other they sold out to in order to make bigger profits instead producing an atmosphere of mutual benefits win win etc the sell outs who when realizing they can't beat competitors in the global south who still kept huge industrial capitalism instead of that of selling out to financial capitalism private equity firms etc instead since west is failing they act like spoiled child who must cheat by the methods I already stated.
I dont see why anybody should be bothered about Europe's economic and energy crisis.They want it; they planned for it. Not buying RUSSIAN energy will never bring the bear to its KNEES. Let's see who suffers more
Who is REALLY in charge of the Countries mentioned..who funded the various Members of Parliament?...here in the UK Starmer is supporting everyone but the British..
I'm sure Joti is aware the wealth class system is perhaps up to 10,000 years old and worked for "them" very well through the ages. They were and are very powerful as we saw in WW-2 to hold back the transition. They way I explained the system we have , the game of Monopoly, in the board game everyone starts our with $1500 , in the real-life version, 90% of people start with $1500 while 10% start with $250,000.... a very poor game to have to play, especially if you don't even get $1500 to start. So who made up this real-life version of the game ... A guy or gal who started a tribe where the family took more, gave part of that profit to hired killers, and before we knew it there was civilization, classes of wealth, soldiers and everyone else as servants.
I had lot of problems with the previous video ( teh anti trotskist one. Becouse for me stalinist are the centrist , cause of the non agrecion agrremebts, fidel in nicaragua 79, etx etx) BUT im loving this one. I agree 110% and everything . Excelebte 👏🖤✊️😘
Stalinism is "centrism"? LOL. Those are words anyhow and should be used "in context". Per Trotsky, if Lenin would have survived, he would also have been exiled by the Stalinists, and Lenin argued that he was the "center". Using such words is politically loaded, it has a specific historical context anyhow and will always be subject to opinion. What one calls "centrist" another calls "extreme right", you know, the very concepts are bourgeois in origin or even pre-bourgeois, as they come from the States General of pre-revolutionary France, in which the aristocrats and clery sat at the right of the King, while the so-called "third state" (all the rest, mostly bourgeois delegates) sat at the left. Ironically in the First Republic the "left" was called ("montaignards") "mountaineers" because they sat at the high seats of the National Assembly, while the "right" were called "the gironde" ("the estuary") because they sat at the lower seats. IMO Stalinism betrayed the proletarian revolution by assuming that "socialism in one country" was possible and, very especially, promoting coalitions with the "progressive" bourgeois forces, such as in the popular fronts of France and Spain (the former betraying the latter in 1936, mind you) or trying to force the Chinese communists to subordinate themselves to the Kuomingtang (which was sabotaged by Mao but also by the Soviet communists themselves, who disobeyed Stalin and gave weapons to their Chinese comrades in Manchuria). Later Stalin betrayed the Greek Revolution and deactivated the powerful Italian Communist Party to controlled opposition level. A total betrayal. Curiously the USSR was most internationalist under Khrushev, which many dub "revisionist" (even Mao did!) but that also happened not because of the USSR so much but because of Cuba and the personal determination of Che Guevara, who tried to ignite "one, a thousand Vietnams". Cuba is the only communist (or "bolshevik socialist" to be more precise) country today, very battered by decades of relentless siege but still standing.
@LuisAldamiz yeah!! I totaly agree. About the abstact concepts of lef righ,, centrism or sectarism: yes , abstract thinking makes debate very confuse. I always think it like a Venn diagram of Bread and Roses, as my own hiper simplification of the program of transition:: fighting for "roses"(maximal) alone would be sectarian, fighting for "bread"(minimal) alone is centrist and conecting the two is the revolutionary gesture. I wonder whats would you think of that😊 . A big hug from Bs As ( Arg )
@@francopalombo - Meh, sectarianism has to do with other issues such as inflated egos and lack of a culture of constructive cooperation even within reasonable differences. Also has to do with scholastic dogmatism (too much "worshiping" of the ancient masters, too little thinking on our own). It's not a mere matter of left and right, really, at least I don't see as that.
@@LuisAldamiz You seem to be looking at history through the lens of reductionism of a single person or a political figure, "Stalin's betrayal" versus "Che Guevara's prolific revolutionary work." The failed revolution in Greece, the destruction of the great Italian Communist Party, or the outcome of the Spanish Civil War were not caused by Stalin's betrayal; those failed political events were caused by the Greeks, Italians, or Spaniards themselves who participated in those disasters. Those revolutionary Greeks, Italians, and Spaniards should have had to seek help and collaboration from national liberation movements in North Africa, West Asia, the Levant, South America, or the Caribbean, not from Soviet Union. The revolutionary Greeks, Italians, and Spaniards should have had to forge military alliances with national liberation movements in Algeria, Libya, or Tunisia, so that their revolutions would be successful, and not rely on Stalin's goodwill. I have the strange feeling that all those revolutionaries in Greece, Italy and Spain considered those people from North Africa somewhat inferior and not worth the effort to ally with them, of course this mentality cannot be so easily eliminated after centuries of colonialism, the poorest and most exploited workers/peasants in Greece, Italy and Spain consider themselves much more superior and worthy than any poor and exploited peasant from Algeria, Libya, or Algeria, in those times, until now. In Western and Southern Mediterranean Europe will be no revolution, not even a semi-socialist one will happen. Only when the workers and peasants in those countries will consider themselves the "polar bears" or the "killer whales" or the upper class in the food chain of building a society, and they will no longer have the medieval mentality of seeing themselves as "little fish" in their relationship with the oligarchs or the capitalist aristocrats. Only then will happen a revolution, a small 1%chance, i would say.
@@pitpalac - Of course I can only simplify: comment space is limited and all that. However these are giant historical figures that embody major trends in ther lives. Let's not confuse post-WW2 betrayal and misdirection of European communist forces in the context of Stalin trying to play good guy with the Western bourgeoisie (again), and thus forcing Western communists to obey instead of revolutionize (Kominform dictated orthodox PCs policies), with pre-WW2 different kind of "betrayal", which led to anti-Engelsian politics of partaking in bourgeois governments and eventually to Eurocommunism even I guess. In this last case, I can to some extent agree that the undoing of French and Spanish orthodox communists was largely their own (although directed by the Komintern, for which Stalin and the USSR were almost like God and Heaven are for Christo-Muslims) but the destruction of the "Spanish Revolution" (led by Anarchists and to lesser extent Trotskyists, not by the orthodox PCE or its social-democracy-converging PSUC Catalan variant) was largely made by Stalinism, notably the terrible purges of Trotskyists and very likely also (although unclear) the murders of Durruti and Ascaso (the most dynamic Anarchist leaders, tending to bolshevism). Stalin did not cause the fall of the Spanish Republic (that was the work of Britain and fascist Italy mostly) but it did cause the collapse of the "Spanish Revolution" and thus the weakening of motivation to fight. If you read Orwell's first person account "Homage to Catalonia" (I say because it's easy to find, Spanish language materials would be harder to collect and have the language barrier almost invariably), you should understand that very well: 1936's revolution had everybody motivated, 1937 counter-revolution (with orthodox PC/Stalin blessings and even active participation, especially in purges and murders) had everyone demotivated. Most crucially, Stalin and Muscovite orthodoxy almost caused the Chinese Revolution to fail several times. It was only because Mao and his followers rejected the orthodoxy and its impositions that the communists survived via the Long March and it was only because USSR communists disobeyed Stalin and armed the Chinese communists in Manchuria that they could win after all. Would have been for Stalin, China would be a gigantic Taiwan now. It's only ironic that later Mao would accuse Khrushev of "revisionism" and take the Stalinist banner... only to fall in the hands of Nixon and posthumously see how his allies ("gang of four") were smeared and executed in Stalinist-style mock trial by the traitor Deng, who threw China into capitalist course. Those are "our" historical contradictions and we must deeply analyze them and learn from them, not remain in denial. True Western communists supported the Algerian revolution, support to this very day the Palestinian struggle and definitely support the Sahrawi fight against Moroccan imperialism. I know because I'm embedded in all that culture (I'm Basque and thus Western European). You're thinking not in terms of proletarian revolution but in terms of anti-colonialist struggle only, which is part of the process but not in the Marxist tradition ther real deal: ultimately the proletarian revolution can only happen where the proletariat is mature and, while that's becoming the trend worldwide, the developed world is where it was always most advanced (and still has a couple generations headstart over other world regions, where the proletariat is still semi-rural, barely emerged from the peasantry). And that means, of course, to Bolshevik model revolutions being largely "peasant" in nature (more arguably in Russia/USSR but very clearly elsewhere) and determined not by core Marxian class war but by peripheral anti-colonial struggles (legitimate but distinct and definitely "viced"). The Bolshevik type revolutions are effectively intermediate between bourgeois revolutions (which they end up being in most cases in the long run: creating national bourgeoisies) and proletarian revolutions (whose ideology they "hijacked" or clang to, using the communist intelligentsia as ersatz national bourgeoisie in a very curious and unexpected mixed bag development, respectable and influential but not truly Marxist, extremely detached from Engelsian politics and Marxian projections/expectations, let alone the democratic and decentralized political project of the Paris Commune or even the soviets themselves as originally conceived). We're now back to square one (but not quite, things have changed in many ways) and we have to go back to Marxian roots of revolutionary thought or even to open up to other legitimate contributors from Bakunin to Öcalan.
It's entirely possible to be against mass immigration and not blame immigrants. Mass immigration is a tool of the capitalists that they prefer. Why do they prefer it to other methods? As a tool of the capitalists, is not not automatically to be opposed?
You can't boycott all the aspects of capitalism that help the ruling class. That's not how real class politics works. We have to work out what stops us achieving our independent aims, which is the abolition of this warmongering, poverty-creating, exploitative system. The key to the stability of the system is divide and rule: the setting of workers against one another. Immigration hysteria is central to divide-and-rule in the imperialist countries; it's rising precisely because the system is in trouble and wants to divert our anger. The answer to 'migrants lower wages' is better union organisation: unity in the struggle for better conditions and unity in the struggle for socialism. If your ruling class is able to undercut your wages by bringing in cheaper labour, 1. your unions aren't working hard enough; 2. the system can't be fixed in such a way as to provide even subsistence wages for all, never mind decent and rising ones. Time to broaden our outlook!
I like Joti, but some times have the thought that her ideas may be propagated by the establishment. There is much despair and little hope. Her solution is only outright revolution and leaves out any other possibilities. A revolution is extremely unlikely as workers are and have always been divided. Especially now with the influx of cheap labour immigrants. These are people that will never join in any kind of a revolution. I am fortunate to be employed and represented by a union and I need to support our union efforts for a better wage and work conditions. I cannot be focused on a far off revolutionary dream. We have families to support and it isn't realistic for workers to just sacrifice everything. Btw, Joti is living comfortably and was brought up in an upper middle class home. It's easy for her to say that workers need to sacrifice and risk what little we have.
Define 'upper middle class'? Joti went to a state school and her parents both worked for a living. So do she and her husband. Their kids go to state schools also. In Marxist terms, the class Joti was born into was the labour aristocracy - ie, her parents were better-off workers with university education and professions (although very much in the lower echelons of those professions, which were teaching and law). You are mistaking being relatively well read and having a southern English accent for being posh, I think. When Joti worked for a unionised organisation, she was a trade union organiser also.
The problem that joti never talks about or ignores for political reasons is the staggering amount of crime that comes with this issue if you cannot control your borders you dont have a country worthy of the name open boarders is not sustainable for anyone's ideology!
Criminals are produced by class society, with its inherent corruption, greed and poverty. They come from every class. Some migrants are criminals. So are some locals. Increasing crime comes with increasing economic crisis, deepening poverty etc. But the worst criminals are the ones in Wall Street in shiny offices and designer suits.
The broad goes on and on like Castro, then Garland starts talking, and she starts checking her phone. These types are always smarter than thou... don't kid yourself.
But everyone can afford to carry around a hand held computer, and indulge themselves in many many luxuries, coffee anyone etc etc etc, start living in the real world.
I have no clue what you remember. This book might help you recall fraud, Famine and Fascism The Ukrainian Genocide Myth from Hitler to Harvard Tottle, Douglas The book is very well documented
Go and study the weather patterns when it occurred and what was the state of agriculture production the world over during that period. Or keep believing in the same bollox as you have been led to believe for the past 50 years.

@LuisAldamiz yeah!! I totaly agree. About the abstact concepts of lef righ,, centrism or sectarism: yes , abstract thinking makes debate very confuse. I always think it like a Venn diagram of Bread and Roses, as my own hiper simplification of the program of transition:: fighting for "roses"(maximal) alone would be sectarian, fighting for "bread"(minimal) alone is centrist and conecting the two is the revolutionary gesture. I wonder whats would you think of that😊 . A big hug from Bs As ( Arg )
@@francopalombo - Meh, sectarianism has to do with other issues such as inflated egos and lack of a culture of constructive cooperation even within reasonable differences. Also has to do with scholastic dogmatism (too much "worshiping" of the ancient masters, too little thinking on our own). It's not a mere matter of left and right, really, at least I don't see as that.

You seem to be looking at history through the lens of reductionism of a single person or a political figure, "Stalin's betrayal" versus "Che Guevara's prolific revolutionary work."
The failed revolution in Greece, the destruction of the great Italian Communist Party, or the outcome of the Spanish Civil War were not caused by Stalin's betrayal; those failed political events were caused by the Greeks, Italians, or Spaniards themselves who participated in those disasters. Those revolutionary Greeks, Italians, and Spaniards should have had to seek help and collaboration from national liberation movements in North Africa, West Asia, the Levant, South America, or the Caribbean, not from Soviet Union.
The revolutionary Greeks, Italians, and Spaniards should have had to forge military alliances with national liberation movements in Algeria, Libya, or Tunisia, so that their revolutions would be successful, and not rely on Stalin's goodwill.
I have the strange feeling that all those revolutionaries in Greece, Italy and Spain considered those people from North Africa somewhat inferior and not worth the effort to ally with them, of course this mentality cannot be so easily eliminated after centuries of colonialism, the poorest and most exploited workers/peasants in Greece, Italy and Spain consider themselves much more superior and worthy than any poor and exploited peasant from Algeria, Libya, or Algeria, in those times, until now.
In Western and Southern Mediterranean Europe will be no revolution, not even a semi-socialist one will happen.
Only when the workers and peasants in those countries will consider themselves the "polar bears" or the "killer whales" or the upper class in the food chain of building a society, and they will no longer have the medieval mentality of seeing themselves as "little fish" in their relationship with the oligarchs or the capitalist aristocrats. Only then will happen a revolution, a small 1%chance, i would say.
@@pitpalac - Of course I can only simplify: comment space is limited and all that. However these are giant historical figures that embody major trends in ther lives.
Let's not confuse post-WW2 betrayal and misdirection of European communist forces in the context of Stalin trying to play good guy with the Western bourgeoisie (again), and thus forcing Western communists to obey instead of revolutionize (Kominform dictated orthodox PCs policies), with pre-WW2 different kind of "betrayal", which led to anti-Engelsian politics of partaking in bourgeois governments and eventually to Eurocommunism even I guess. In this last case, I can to some extent agree that the undoing of French and Spanish orthodox communists was largely their own (although directed by the Komintern, for which Stalin and the USSR were almost like God and Heaven are for Christo-Muslims) but the destruction of the "Spanish Revolution" (led by Anarchists and to lesser extent Trotskyists, not by the orthodox PCE or its social-democracy-converging PSUC Catalan variant) was largely made by Stalinism, notably the terrible purges of Trotskyists and very likely also (although unclear) the murders of Durruti and Ascaso (the most dynamic Anarchist leaders, tending to bolshevism).
Stalin did not cause the fall of the Spanish Republic (that was the work of Britain and fascist Italy mostly) but it did cause the collapse of the "Spanish Revolution" and thus the weakening of motivation to fight. If you read Orwell's first person account "Homage to Catalonia" (I say because it's easy to find, Spanish language materials would be harder to collect and have the language barrier almost invariably), you should understand that very well: 1936's revolution had everybody motivated, 1937 counter-revolution (with orthodox PC/Stalin blessings and even active participation, especially in purges and murders) had everyone demotivated.
Most crucially, Stalin and Muscovite orthodoxy almost caused the Chinese Revolution to fail several times. It was only because Mao and his followers rejected the orthodoxy and its impositions that the communists survived via the Long March and it was only because USSR communists disobeyed Stalin and armed the Chinese communists in Manchuria that they could win after all. Would have been for Stalin, China would be a gigantic Taiwan now. It's only ironic that later Mao would accuse Khrushev of "revisionism" and take the Stalinist banner... only to fall in the hands of Nixon and posthumously see how his allies ("gang of four") were smeared and executed in Stalinist-style mock trial by the traitor Deng, who threw China into capitalist course.
Those are "our" historical contradictions and we must deeply analyze them and learn from them, not remain in denial.
True Western communists supported the Algerian revolution, support to this very day the Palestinian struggle and definitely support the Sahrawi fight against Moroccan imperialism. I know because I'm embedded in all that culture (I'm Basque and thus Western European). You're thinking not in terms of proletarian revolution but in terms of anti-colonialist struggle only, which is part of the process but not in the Marxist tradition ther real deal: ultimately the proletarian revolution can only happen where the proletariat is mature and, while that's becoming the trend worldwide, the developed world is where it was always most advanced (and still has a couple generations headstart over other world regions, where the proletariat is still semi-rural, barely emerged from the peasantry).
And that means, of course, to Bolshevik model revolutions being largely "peasant" in nature (more arguably in Russia/USSR but very clearly elsewhere) and determined not by core Marxian class war but by peripheral anti-colonial struggles (legitimate but distinct and definitely "viced"). The Bolshevik type revolutions are effectively intermediate between bourgeois revolutions (which they end up being in most cases in the long run: creating national bourgeoisies) and proletarian revolutions (whose ideology they "hijacked" or clang to, using the communist intelligentsia as ersatz national bourgeoisie in a very curious and unexpected mixed bag development, respectable and influential but not truly Marxist, extremely detached from Engelsian politics and Marxian projections/expectations, let alone the democratic and decentralized political project of the Paris Commune or even the soviets themselves as originally conceived).
We're now back to square one (but not quite, things have changed in many ways) and we have to go back to Marxian roots of revolutionary thought or even to open up to other legitimate contributors from Bakunin to Öcalan.
It's entirely possible to be against mass immigration and not blame immigrants. Mass immigration is a tool of the capitalists that they prefer. Why do they prefer it to other methods? As a tool of the capitalists, is not not automatically to be opposed?
Wage-labour is a tool of the capitalists. It's how they get all their wealth. Should we refuse to work?
You can't boycott all the aspects of capitalism that help the ruling class. That's not how real class politics works. We have to work out what stops us achieving our independent aims, which is the abolition of this warmongering, poverty-creating, exploitative system. The key to the stability of the system is divide and rule: the setting of workers against one another. Immigration hysteria is central to divide-and-rule in the imperialist countries; it's rising precisely because the system is in trouble and wants to divert our anger. The answer to 'migrants lower wages' is better union organisation: unity in the struggle for better conditions and unity in the struggle for socialism. If your ruling class is able to undercut your wages by bringing in cheaper labour, 1. your unions aren't working hard enough; 2. the system can't be fixed in such a way as to provide even subsistence wages for all, never mind decent and rising ones. Time to broaden our outlook!
I like Joti, but some times have the thought that her ideas may be propagated by the establishment. There is much despair and little hope. Her solution is only outright revolution and leaves out any other possibilities. A revolution is extremely unlikely as workers are and have always been divided. Especially now with the influx of cheap labour immigrants. These are people that will never join in any kind of a revolution. I am fortunate to be employed and represented by a union and I need to support our union efforts for a better wage and work conditions. I cannot be focused on a far off revolutionary dream. We have families to support and it isn't realistic for workers to just sacrifice everything. Btw, Joti is living comfortably and was brought up in an upper middle class home. It's easy for her to say that workers need to sacrifice and risk what little we have.
Define 'upper middle class'? Joti went to a state school and her parents both worked for a living. So do she and her husband. Their kids go to state schools also. In Marxist terms, the class Joti was born into was the labour aristocracy - ie, her parents were better-off workers with university education and professions (although very much in the lower echelons of those professions, which were teaching and law). You are mistaking being relatively well read and having a southern English accent for being posh, I think. When Joti worked for a unionised organisation, she was a trade union organiser also.

well she sound a little comunist to me ,but she is right though 😂
This is where they all go wrong now. Not her fault.
Anonymous wealth is safest, I want to cry hearing her say my life work and dream is a scam. It is the other way around people.
The problem that joti never talks about or ignores for political reasons is the staggering amount of crime that comes with this issue if you cannot control your borders you dont have a country worthy of the name open boarders is not sustainable for anyone's ideology!
Criminals are produced by class society, with its inherent corruption, greed and poverty. They come from every class. Some migrants are criminals. So are some locals. Increasing crime comes with increasing economic crisis, deepening poverty etc. But the worst criminals are the ones in Wall Street in shiny offices and designer suits.
Look to history about Marxism
The broad goes on and on like Castro, then Garland starts talking, and she starts checking her phone. These types are always smarter than thou... don't kid yourself.
I think you'll find she's taking notes for her answer to the questions.
Dude doesn't even understand what capitalism is. It's like he has no ears.
But everyone can afford to carry around a hand held computer, and indulge themselves in many many luxuries, coffee anyone etc etc etc, start living in the real world.
Tell us about collectivised agriculture in the USSR. Holodomor in Ukraine? Same old bollox as I remember from 50 years ago.
I have no clue what you remember. This book might help you recall
fraud, Famine and Fascism The Ukrainian Genocide Myth from Hitler to Harvard Tottle, Douglas
The book is very well documented
Go and study the weather patterns when it occurred and what was the state of agriculture production the world over during that period. Or keep believing in the same bollox as you have been led to believe for the past 50 years.
Is this a lecture or Q & A.?
NO MORE EXTORTION GAS 😂
