During the Cold War America made various propaganda depicting communism as a corrupt system that was deemed to fail, but would also bring down everyone around them, in reality communism was just trying to attain true equality for all citizens, while yes you could join politics and gain benefits, everyone would have equal chance to learn and get into politics, where they then would help disperse food, water ect among the citizens
@@Smashboy01 The Stalinist were indeed corrupt as Khrushchev's 1956 secret speech revealed. He sat next to the criminal who murdered thousands of loyal Communists who had been the leaders of the October revolution because he too benefited from the not so secret bureaucratic system of privileges foisted upon the masses of the Soviet workers and farmers. Once that admision was made it began a process that no combinations of Stalinist bureaucrats would ever be able to control.

If you like this, you’d probably like Giovanni Gentile’s Fascist Manifesto. Rather than abolishing the state so that people can just sort of exist and “govern” themselves, Fascism aims at making everything a part of the state, meaning you’re an important cog in the clock that is the state, like everyone else and every company exists to make the state better, because the state is the embodiment of the people and therefore a better state means a better life for the people. You can certainly see how Marx’s class consciousness plays right into Fascism, making me think that had Marx been friends with Gentile instead of Engles, he’d have probably been a Fascist instead.
@@aaronlandry3934 the difference in Gentile's "corporatism" and Marx's "communism" theories of "collectivism" can basicly be summed up as: Corporatism denies both sides of the class struggle, instead pursuing class cooperation. Private property and the market economic model is maintained, though with regulation in place to ensure no bourgeois owner may take advantage of their workers and vice versa (via unions) and to ensure industry works in favor of the state and nation rather than against it. Corporatist economics are often combined with a syndicalist model of state-owned and regulated unions through which workers are represented. Communism, while professing the abolition of class, continues the class struggle in the opposite manner of capitalism, by presenting the advantage to the proletariat rather than the bourgeois. Corporatism has a market economy, a class system, and private property, while communism abolishes the concepts of class, money, etc. and puts the means of production in the hands of the "collective". Corporatism aims for class collaboration, while communism aims for class conflict. Corporatism aims to benefit those within a nation, while communism aims to benefit a class. Corporatism aims at structuring the use of private property, while communism aims at abolish private property To finish, Corporatism is neither Capitalism or Socialism, but a mix of concepts and elements from both, while Communism is socialistic.
@@aaronlandry3934 sorry i should also add that Gentile belived in authoritarian coprationism rather than social corporatism (which is used to a degree in Nordic countries today) hence why he is considered "right wing" as he belived that the goals of "collective" corporatism can only be implemented with the dismantling of rival political ideologies and parties and run solely by a single state party, hence the purge of communist socialists in Fascist Italy, this is basicly the model that Mussolini incorporated when he came up with his own interpretation called "fascismo" which economic success was to bring about a "new roman empire" with himself as "emporer" and that everyone regardless of class were to benefit from but that never came true as Mussolini got power hungry and decided that him and a few of his friends (including Gentile) should benefit the most, as it was them that were going to "rebuild" the roman empire right? The original concept of Gentile's "fasism" was actually based on "Corporatism" but because of radicals at the time it ultimate led to Fascism as we know it today, in which Gentile's "blue print" was used by Mussolini.
@@ddawg3230 In many ways, that is what Communism is, as it would be a society without Capital or Class (magically). In Communism, it’s supposed to be the same old “to each their own and to each according to their ability” unoriginal idealism. So you’d work for free, your groceries would be free, and everyone would work to help each other and never show complacency or greed or be upset about having to do a disproportionately larger amount of work that other people, because people are supposed to work like ants or bees.
I really think so. Even if you completely disagree with its conclusions, this work is so fundamental in understand current political discourse and finding a personal political position based in solid theory.
If people were forced to read the entire thing no one would be a communist. I don't believe anyone here commenting in support actually finished this book. No one could support abolishing the family unit and having the state raise the children. Its so bad on many levels and it hasnt come true. As a laborer I bought a house and own property. Infact the majority of people in my country do own property.

Funnily enough, you find this same level of salt in Giovanni Gentile’s Fascist Manifesto too. Though a key difference here is that Marx calls out to the Proletariat to overthrow the Bourgeoisie to control the state, whereas Giovanni Gentile views Fascism as the ultimate evolution of governing systems and calls for total submission of all to the state instead. Marx calls for the people to rule state themselves whereas Gentile calls for the people to work together and organize under one to better their state. If not for an Anarchist like Engles, Marx may have very well become a Fascist too. Both certainly hated society in the same ways
@@aaronlandry3934 first time I've seen Giovanni Gentiles fascism mentioned on youtube comments. Most people only read or hear about Eckart's/Hitler's or Mussolini's "philosophies" when it comes to fascism, which is quite different to its original conception by Gentile himself. What's funny is that the term "fascist" has lost all meaning and is only used as an insult, even during the Sino-Soviot border clashes in 1969, both sides repeatedly called the other "facists" because each thought that the others state was too authoritarian. In the modern world "fascism/fascist" is a blanket term for "an authoritative system of government" . You dont even need to be a fascist to be labelled a "fascist", technically even calling Marxist-Leninists "fascists" is colloquial correct if they are using an authoritarian regime to implement a "communist" society. Edit: now that I think of it the term "fascism/fascist" has actually changed meaning again in some parts of the world as an insult to the average nationalist, which is quite confusing to most in my country as almost all nationalists are socialists with past links to Marxism. I live in Northern Ireland btw.
@@norfolkenchants1238 I’m American and it’s very obvious that 95% of the people that use the word “Fascist/Fascism” have no real understanding of the word. In the US, it’s more of a blanket term for “bad person that I don’t like”, which is why both sides argue that the other one are the “real fascists”, despite both being Democratic Republicans with either right or left leans. If someone uses it as an insult, I just assume the person is an idiot. I’ve never seen it used correctly as an insult.
@@aaronlandry3934 always found American politics very confusing, which isnt very surprising when you do start to understand it as it's almost as if confusion is implemented. Also the way your "politicians" can so easily rile the blood of both their supporters and their "opposition" to a near pitch of lunacy is pretty scary and brings back bad memories of "civil" unrest in my country which both sides came to "peace" in 1998 but you will likely hear of extreme "civil" unrest in the near future unfortunately from Northern Ireland because of Brexit.
This is exactly what I needed to hear about their views on private property: "Are you planning to confiscate private property?" *"Well, most workers dont have any real private property anyway. So what you mean is that you are actually the bourgeoise and only worried about your own property. Plus the only reason any worker has attained private property is because another worker hasn't. So, YES!"*
@mice& rabbits Trump, while helping America, is currently turning fucking over the rest of the west (haha rhymes), by letting China expand it's reach across Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and South America.. American needs to get it's shit together before the world eventually becomes majority socialist, or else we're fucked.. China won't go down like the USSR did, as it doesn't have the USSR's stubborn way of socialism, China allows illiberal capitalism within it's society.. The USSR had everything going against it, but China has everything going for it. The USA have a 2nd Civil War boiling up, the EU is losing grip with the countries it controls, therefor giving China a way to control bits of Europe, Africa after decolonialisation has become poor, letting China now being able to make strong connections there, South America is also slowly becoming less capitalistic/more socialistic giving, you guessed it, China a way, to establish connections there, Australia is currently a massive Chinese experiment, to see, if they can establish illiberal capitalism into a liberal capitalist society.. Please, for the future of a liberal humanity, spread the message of the plans of China. Though you should investigate this a bit more yourself, just in case you ever meet someone, supporting China, to debate them, and make anyone listening see through any arguement the pro-chinese socialists may have. This idea needs to go mainstream
The closest adherents to Marxism (Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao) killed 60-100 million people and kept billions in poverty and tyranny. You'd better re-analyze your criteria for a hero.
I think the biggest things people fail to recognize are as follows: 1. This guy didn’t tell anyone how to form a new way of doing things. He is not responsible for the USSR or Venezuela or Cuba, etc. He only described (mostly accurately) and criticized what was going on in capitalism. 2. Human history is, like all other life, an evolutionary process. Tribalism, slavery and feudalism were once the dominant systems of doing things, but are no longer. The arrogance to assume capitalism represents the end of history and will always be the way humans conduct themselves is lunacy. Above all, his vision of equality amongst all people is the vision we of the human race should strive for. Perfection is impossible, yes. But the pursuit of it is not! The process will be long and arduous. But dominance of the few over the many is NOT the vision of humanity anyone should want and that is what capitalism, at the end of the day, is all about.
Capitalism is the end state as it relies on the base instincts of all Humans. Self interest. A society where all means of production become public property will eventually result in certain individuals convincing others to give them their means of production, to work for them "for the better interest of themselves." and the cycle will restart all over again. There are ways to make Capitalism more equitable, and it won't require a violent overthrow of any government. Balance is key in life.

The Marxist critique of the economy isn't necessarily just "industry bad", but rather industrialization has also led to mass amounts of concentrated power and exploitation, and if you remember the goal of communism is not to abolish industry and factory, but rather for the workers to reclaim and operate them, as to keep the efficient production industrial capitalism gave us, while giving power to the workers which should completely eliminate exploitation in the workplace and economy.

38:38 - It's interesting how critics of Marxism always rely on a straw man argument to claim Marx advocated for an abolition of all property and all hierarchy, when he says the exact opposite in the book.
But he goes on to say just that afterwards. They may not TAKE the home of the family within it, but that family may not gain from the sale of the home. There could be no sale at all. And if that family owns numerous houses, or if that house is a duplex, to rent out to other citizens, that would be taken from them. My landlord in the USA was born and raised in Mexico, and worked long and hard and sacrificed plenty for many decades to purchase numerous homes in my neighborhood. All that would be taken from them by the new ruling class. And if they owned a corner store or local business, that too would be taken from them, though if they were friendly with the new ruling class, they could possibly keep their position as managers, but no longer owners.

He sat next to the criminal who murdered thousands of loyal Communists who had been the leaders of the October revolution because he too benefited from the not so secret bureaucratic system of privileges foisted upon the masses of the Soviet workers and farmers. Once that admision was made it began a process that no combinations of Stalinist bureaucrats would ever be able to control.

Brainless political bias again? Sigh
Lord forgive me, for I'm 'bout to attain class consciousness.
If you like this, you’d probably like Giovanni Gentile’s Fascist Manifesto. Rather than abolishing the state so that people can just sort of exist and “govern” themselves, Fascism aims at making everything a part of the state, meaning you’re an important cog in the clock that is the state, like everyone else and every company exists to make the state better, because the state is the embodiment of the people and therefore a better state means a better life for the people.
You can certainly see how Marx’s class consciousness plays right into Fascism, making me think that had Marx been friends with Gentile instead of Engles, he’d have probably been a Fascist instead.
@@aaronlandry3934 And I thought the YT algorithm was bad at recommending things based on my likes.
@@twink2491 Either way they both lead to death and misery.
@@aaronlandry3934 the difference in Gentile's "corporatism" and Marx's "communism" theories of "collectivism" can basicly be summed up as:
Corporatism denies both sides of the class struggle, instead pursuing class cooperation. Private property and the market economic model is maintained, though with regulation in place to ensure no bourgeois owner may take advantage of their workers and vice versa (via unions) and to ensure industry works in favor of the state and nation rather than against it. Corporatist economics are often combined with a syndicalist model of state-owned and regulated unions through which workers are represented.
Communism, while professing the abolition of class, continues the class struggle in the opposite manner of capitalism, by presenting the advantage to the proletariat rather than the bourgeois.
Corporatism has a market economy, a class system, and private property, while communism abolishes the concepts of class, money, etc. and puts the means of production in the hands of the "collective".
Corporatism aims for class collaboration, while communism aims for class conflict.
Corporatism aims to benefit those within a nation, while communism aims to benefit a class.
Corporatism aims at structuring the use of private property, while communism aims at abolish private property
To finish, Corporatism is neither Capitalism or Socialism, but a mix of concepts and elements from both, while Communism is socialistic.
@@aaronlandry3934 sorry i should also add that Gentile belived in authoritarian coprationism rather than social corporatism (which is used to a degree in Nordic countries today) hence why he is considered "right wing" as he belived that the goals of "collective" corporatism can only be implemented with the dismantling of rival political ideologies and parties and run solely by a single state party, hence the purge of communist socialists in Fascist Italy, this is basicly the model that Mussolini incorporated when he came up with his own interpretation called "fascismo" which economic success was to bring about a "new roman empire" with himself as "emporer" and that everyone regardless of class were to benefit from but that never came true as Mussolini got power hungry and decided that him and a few of his friends (including Gentile) should benefit the most, as it was them that were going to "rebuild" the roman empire right?
The original concept of Gentile's "fasism" was actually based on "Corporatism" but because of radicals at the time it ultimate led to Fascism as we know it today, in which Gentile's "blue print" was used by Mussolini.

I could relate to Marx's level of salt and cynicism when commenting upon society.
Funnily enough, you find this same level of salt in Giovanni Gentile’s Fascist Manifesto too. Though a key difference here is that Marx calls out to the Proletariat to overthrow the Bourgeoisie to control the state, whereas Giovanni Gentile views Fascism as the ultimate evolution of governing systems and calls for total submission of all to the state instead.
Marx calls for the people to rule state themselves whereas Gentile calls for the people to work together and organize under one to better their state. If not for an Anarchist like Engles, Marx may have very well become a Fascist too. Both certainly hated society in the same ways
His words still speak truth today
@@aaronlandry3934 first time I've seen Giovanni Gentiles fascism mentioned on youtube comments.
Most people only read or hear about Eckart's/Hitler's or Mussolini's "philosophies" when it comes to fascism, which is quite different to its original conception by Gentile himself.
What's funny is that the term "fascist" has lost all meaning and is only used as an insult, even during the Sino-Soviot border clashes in 1969, both sides repeatedly called the other "facists" because each thought that the others state was too authoritarian.
In the modern world "fascism/fascist" is a blanket term for "an authoritative system of government" . You dont even need to be a fascist to be labelled a "fascist", technically even calling Marxist-Leninists "fascists" is colloquial correct if they are using an authoritarian regime to implement a "communist" society.
Edit: now that I think of it the term "fascism/fascist" has actually changed meaning again in some parts of the world as an insult to the average nationalist, which is quite confusing to most in my country as almost all nationalists are socialists with past links to Marxism. I live in Northern Ireland btw.
@@norfolkenchants1238 I’m American and it’s very obvious that 95% of the people that use the word “Fascist/Fascism” have no real understanding of the word. In the US, it’s more of a blanket term for “bad person that I don’t like”, which is why both sides argue that the other one are the “real fascists”, despite both being Democratic Republicans with either right or left leans. If someone uses it as an insult, I just assume the person is an idiot. I’ve never seen it used correctly as an insult.
@@aaronlandry3934 always found American politics very confusing, which isnt very surprising when you do start to understand it as it's almost as if confusion is implemented. Also the way your "politicians" can so easily rile the blood of both their supporters and their "opposition" to a near pitch of lunacy is pretty scary and brings back bad memories of "civil" unrest in my country which both sides came to "peace" in 1998 but you will likely hear of extreme "civil" unrest in the near future unfortunately from Northern Ireland because of Brexit.

The USA have a 2nd Civil War boiling up, the EU is losing grip with the countries it controls, therefor giving China a way to control bits of Europe, Africa after decolonialisation has become poor, letting China now being able to make strong connections there, South America is also slowly becoming less capitalistic/more socialistic giving, you guessed it, China a way, to establish connections there, Australia is currently a massive Chinese experiment, to see, if they can establish illiberal capitalism into a liberal capitalist society..
Please, for the future of a liberal humanity, spread the message of the plans of China. Though you should investigate this a bit more yourself, just in case you ever meet someone, supporting China, to debate them, and make anyone listening see through any arguement the pro-chinese socialists may have. This idea needs to go mainstream
The closest adherents to Marxism (Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao) killed 60-100 million people and kept billions in poverty and tyranny. You'd better re-analyze your criteria for a hero.

I think the biggest things people fail to recognize are as follows: 1. This guy didn’t tell anyone how to form a new way of doing things. He is not responsible for the USSR or Venezuela or Cuba, etc. He only described (mostly accurately) and criticized what was going on in capitalism. 2. Human history is, like all other life, an evolutionary process. Tribalism, slavery and feudalism were once the dominant systems of doing things, but are no longer. The arrogance to assume capitalism represents the end of history and will always be the way humans conduct themselves is lunacy. Above all, his vision of equality amongst all people is the vision we of the human race should strive for. Perfection is impossible, yes. But the pursuit of it is not! The process will be long and arduous. But dominance of the few over the many is NOT the vision of humanity anyone should want and that is what capitalism, at the end of the day, is all about.
Capitalism is the end state as it relies on the base instincts of all Humans. Self interest. A society where all means of production become public property will eventually result in certain individuals convincing others to give them their means of production, to work for them "for the better interest of themselves." and the cycle will restart all over again.
There are ways to make Capitalism more equitable, and it won't require a violent overthrow of any government. Balance is key in life.

@@blank2588 like Cuba?
The Marxist critique of the economy isn't necessarily just "industry bad", but rather industrialization has also led to mass amounts of concentrated power and exploitation, and if you remember the goal of communism is not to abolish industry and factory, but rather for the workers to reclaim and operate them, as to keep the efficient production industrial capitalism gave us, while giving power to the workers which should completely eliminate exploitation in the workplace and economy.

Thomas Foley no one would be poor. We have the resources to make that happen right now. It’s that greedy capitalists are hoarding it in offshore bank accounts
hierachy is the most fundamental of all biological properties. To out buy and to outshine is the pacifist equivalent of brutal murder and hierachy via violence.
Brien831 it’s actually not whatsoever. The alpha wolf study has been discredited many times and the initial author came out against his own paper. There are many species that take many different approaches to social behavior. Biology includes plants as well. Are you going to argue they have social hierarchies? I’m not sure on what basis you’re making that claim.
SJK survival is the most basic hierachy. If you do not live you cannot partake in reproduction. That goes for plants too. An example would be certain plants that are naturally repellent to some insects. Im not quoting a paper; I am referring to evolution. or in intelligent beings the urge to reproduce the most

Donate to a world hunger organization this year if you can spare the expense), and access to life saving medical technology is up higher than its ever been in the past.

38:38 - It's interesting how critics of Marxism always rely on a straw man argument to claim Marx advocated for an abolition of all property and all hierarchy, when he says the exact opposite in the book.
But he goes on to say just that afterwards.
They may not TAKE the home of the family within it, but that family may not gain from the sale of the home. There could be no sale at all.
And if that family owns numerous houses, or if that house is a duplex, to rent out to other citizens, that would be taken from them.
My landlord in the USA was born and raised in Mexico, and worked long and hard and sacrificed plenty for many decades to purchase numerous homes in my neighborhood. All that would be taken from them by the new ruling class.
And if they owned a corner store or local business, that too would be taken from them, though if they were friendly with the new ruling class, they could possibly keep their position as managers, but no longer owners.
All capital will be centralize by the state. He's very clear about that. @56.26

"But he goes on to say just that afterwards.
