No he's not. All he does is speak in platitudes and over simplifications. Free market capitalism is the first system in history to allow people to rise above the socioeconomic status they were born into. More black and brown families have gained generational wealth through capitalism than in any system in history. Socialism leads to equality. The problem is that it leads to everyone being equally fucked up. Immortal technique is not only not really smart, he's actually a whole ass idiot
Are you saying that kids at a lemonade stand buy their own knives, lemons, pitchers, water, and property? Because otherwise this is a meaningless comment that you could’ve just held off on, but you put it here because you wanted to feel something emotionally.
@@DustyHoney when I was a kid and ran a shaved ice business I bought the ingredients to make the syrup, bought the cups, bought the ice shaver, did all the advertising myself, never bothered with a stand because kids just knew I was the one who sold it and I'd take orders and deliver around the neighborhood on my bike. Water and electricity costs were negligible. I agree with this guys point but his argument isn't exactly water tight.
He’s understands that in a nationalist nation like America you don’t have political power without having economic power, he literally is trying to use white supremacies own system against it
@@shrubs5098 he is shitting on capitalism when that's how he got rich so for him to teAch socialism or bigger government makes no sense and Americans are not evil and bad for our history so immortal technique should shit out his mouth some where else
He’s right for most kids I see their moms standing right there but me and my 2 bros we had to do that all by ourselves my mom made sure we were self sufficient and we had to use our profits to buy more supplies more cups more sugar etc etc
All of his points are true and poignant, I’d just like to point out though that calling it Socialism probably isn’t very accurate and Corporate Socialism is kind of a funny Oxymoron. 😂 (I know he likely means it in a non literal way, more like the spirit of Socialism)
I would have to say no to that because as a poor person you have socialism for yourself because we get food for free we get education for free and then we’re put in the system where we have to move up in ladder, so no, I believe that the poor have socialism as we are right now and then I hope that continues to expand so we can let other people have the opportunity to move up But yeah I get you what your saying ❤
I agree that corporate welfare, subsidies, and bail outs need to end. But that's because I realize that socialism is bad whether for corporations or people, as it robs from some people to give to others. I have respected Tech for years now, but where he sees this as a point for socialism, I see it as a point against socialism.
Do you own the air you breath? Socialism is a basic requirement for survival. When you are born, you've earned nothing but someone has to give you everything or you die. That's socialism. Do you want to ban birth too?
The government almost exclusively is controlled by capitalists and serves capital. Read a book sometime instead of fantasizing that a free market is a functioning system.
I think he needs to look at the state of some of the socialist countries before he preaches socialism. Cuba, Venezuela, I'm sure he would choose the U.S over those places
@Unapologetic_Black I'll give you some other socialist countries like Canada or China. People who protest in Canada get their bank accounts frozen. People In China starve to death and the government doesn't care. Socialism takes away right to free speech, when you give the government more control you give people less freedom. I agree with you that some aspects of socialism are good, but the majority of socialism leads to corruption. It's liberal policies that have put people behind for centuries, minimum wage increase, Well fair policy, social security all liberal policies.
@Unapologetic_Black well I'm sorry my dude but that will never exist, and capitalism is the closest thing we will get. Capitalism was developed through trial and error through various government policies. And idk what your definition of socialist country is but I was always told that it is a country that separates the wealth class of people by making property and businesses government owned to prevent people from becoming rich or poor. "There are no solutions, there is only trade offs." Thomas Sowell
@Unapologetic_Black china also is dealing with a massive underpopulation of the youth problem that will most likely set back there economy in a few years. And I'm not saying it won't ever happen I'm saying that it's already been attempted numerous times and failed, trial and error. These companies are making large profits too because they're exploiting their work to foreign countries for cheaper labor. Capitalism didn't begin as exploration, so it doesn't have to stay that way. America has its flaws, but you're a fool if you think you have more freedom and independence in any other country
@Unapologetic_Black you just look at the big monopoly companies like Google and Apple and just assume capitalism is corruption. Those companies have most of their factories in communist countries using those people for cheap labor. Capitalism is one of the only ways you can be your own boss and not have to rely on the government for everything. Sweden is a communist country too, you can't be independent and have your own business in sweden. you think it's as easy to start your own business in Sweden like it is in America? You're a fool, plus Sweden is over 90% white, and they don't open their boarders to barely anyone. They are a segregated country
@@Unapologetic_Black I believe straight capitalism was the best at one point in time until certain liberal policies were put in place, but I do respect your beliefs and see your perspective. God bless
He’s ODing here. I get what he’s saying but the point of a lemonade stand is to get the kid comfortable in selling their product and talking to customers. It allows them to say hey I have made money without a job I can apply this to anything I do it I’m willing to do the work.
The lemonade stand or the kids working at them aren't the point for fucksake. He's not attacking children on lemon stand, he's using it as an analogy for the fact that socialism for the people is a dirty concept in America, but socialist policies for corporations are the foundation of American capitalism. His point is capitalism as a self governing meritocracy is a lie.
Im building a business from scratch and an adult now my business is growing and ramping up at an alarming rate. And the older i get and the more it grows the more I ealise this dude is just blowing hot air. We need more leaders in this country. We DONT need more people that just sit around and talking about how to fix the promlems. Dont ever let yourself believe that you can't achieve something because of somebody or something is holdimg you back from doing that thing. If you domt make it happen its because you didnt want it bad enough. Idc what hand you were dealt at birth. You play that hand up and make it work for you untill the redeal. This dude is a clown.
This is such a shit take. He's not saying you can't become rich or make it, he's saying some people have an advantage and some people do not. You did not have an advantage and neither do I, but there are people who you are competing with that have a massive advantage over you in the sense that they can invest more than you, fail more than you without consequence, expand faster than you, etc. It is stupid as fuck to not acknowledge that.
this dude is also building schools in africa and has been helping the less fortunate all throughout his career. always independent never signed to anybody. made millions and still goes out and protests for palestine. he is exemplary of creating your own business and not relying or blaming others for ur lack of sucess. i get it seems like he complain a lot but hes tryna wake up the dumb mfs. you act like people cant do 2 things at once tho lol. you can call out how the government is manipulating us and how they built this country off greed and racism so u dont trust shit and buy their bullshit. and u can still work ur ass off get ur money and take care of ur people. you can do both and ur the same as the other person watching bullshit on youtube. you just disagree with the viewpoints. dont put yourself above others brotha
Ok so my problem with everything he says is that he is great at pointing out the plans with the system but he never gives his solution. He never puts his answer out to us for to examine.
Don’t agree with this. Too much. Ok I’m loaning my daughter these supplies. Ill explain to her that in the beginning she’ll owe then eventually own. (Own sorry wrote owe again ha)
Occidental capitalism hide that from you, even in china they knew they are socialist but they know his system economic works thanks by the capitalism. I mean is stupid thinking we livin in only one power every country has a different forms of every power like, Mexico apply communism is many states but openly we are capitalism but we runed by a system socialist right now. Is a really topic this.
funny how immortal technique went from some rapper to this revolutionary that gets rich from capitalism and yes teaches to destroy it sad u have been deleted from my life
He's a very enlightened individual.
No he's not. All he does is speak in platitudes and over simplifications.

He said pretty much all he does is read and educates himself. We need more people like him.
This is why I rate Immortal Technique in my Top 5 Rappers, he’s deep, has knowledge understanding of many issues… 🎤 🎤 🎤 🎤 🎤
Mind sharing some names of your top 5? Just really interested in learning about new rappers
Explain this to some kids at an actual lemonade stand, and see what happens. Lol
Are you saying that kids at a lemonade stand buy their own knives, lemons, pitchers, water, and property? Because otherwise this is a meaningless comment that you could’ve just held off on, but you put it here because you wanted to feel something emotionally.
@@DustyHoney you're actually taking my comment serious and not just simply seeing the humor in it. 😒
@@DustyHoney same with your comment up on that high horse looking down your nose
This comment is hilarious! 😂
@@DustyHoney when I was a kid and ran a shaved ice business I bought the ingredients to make the syrup, bought the cups, bought the ice shaver, did all the advertising myself, never bothered with a stand because kids just knew I was the one who sold it and I'd take orders and deliver around the neighborhood on my bike.
Water and electricity costs were negligible.
I agree with this guys point but his argument isn't exactly water tight.
He knows his shit
Tech never misses
Capitalism is why he actually became rich
Because he didn’t have any other choice and is aware of that, do you actually listen?
Yet again you are homophobic so don’t even respond to me because I will flat out ignore you or block you.
He’s understands that in a nationalist nation like America you don’t have political power without having economic power, he literally is trying to use white supremacies own system against it
@@shrubs5098 he is shitting on capitalism when that's how he got rich so for him to teAch socialism or bigger government makes no sense and Americans are not evil and bad for our history so immortal technique should shit out his mouth some where else
And gives most of his money away to humanitarian causes... Be quiet 🤫
A Dystopian corporatist plutocracy.
He’s right for most kids I see their moms standing right there but me and my 2 bros we had to do that all by ourselves my mom made sure we were self sufficient and we had to use our profits to buy more supplies more cups more sugar etc etc
The point he’s making has nothing to do with lemonade my guy
I don’t know why he assumes the kid does nothing in this equation.
All of his points are true and poignant, I’d just like to point out though that calling it Socialism probably isn’t very accurate and Corporate Socialism is kind of a funny Oxymoron. 😂 (I know he likely means it in a non literal way, more like the spirit of Socialism)

Damm
Oh. For me it was monopoly.
We grinded that for prob a month
So kids should work to buy lemons, pay a mortgage, and bills? Gotcha
You didn't even miss the point. You matrix dodged out of the way.
It’s wild how dumb some people are. Sad really

No socialism for the people is based asf. Idk why people are always advocating against their own interests.
Do you own the air you breath? Socialism is a basic requirement for survival. When you are born, you've earned nothing but someone has to give you everything or you die. That's socialism. Do you want to ban birth too?
So... Government interferes with the economy but it's capitalism that has failed. Basic logical fail.
You’re the illogical one. It’s big business monopolizing the economy under big govt safety net
Haha my thoughts exactly.
The government almost exclusively is controlled by capitalists and serves capital. Read a book sometime instead of fantasizing that a free market is a functioning system.
Capitalism is dependent on the government ! Do y’all even listen ??
