    "These are historic models of society...and isn't necessarily the case in more developed countries in the world today." Sounds like someone has fallen victim to a false consciousness. Exploitation is alive and well and doing better than ever in developed countries.

      Phil King classic indoctrination. Like the elites say don't unite against us. Struggle against each other and keep pulling each other down to get yourself up the ladder while we keep laughing from top and some lill bitches say yes sir. Capitalist elites aren't really smarter, educated or hard working than you. They're just good at using smart, hard working people to get themselves to top.
      And wait elites also encourage creation of thieves, plunderers and extremists from among the poor. Extremists that steal from a regular guy like you, not some rich dude. But you don't get it cause you're pathetic.
      Throughout history you dumb people at the bottom fight each other while some cunning dude with zero conscience farms your asses.
      Fair logic, one among 100 brave live to tell the tale. One among 100 wise people gets to be rich without being engulfed by something bigger. Yet here you are, preaching divide and rule policies.
      People say humans are more than animals. I don't accept it anymore. Just look around you and you'll know

      @@meghanachauhan9380 What exactly do you think will happen here? Do you think people will continue ro work to their fullest potential if there is no reward? Why would a person work hard when he gets no more than his lazy co-worker? When you get rid of the middle class, which communism does, you end up with an extremely poor class ruled over by an elite. It is a system tantamount to slavery where you are stripped of all of your personal freedoms. When Russia was communist ruled, those who could defected seeking freedom. Where communism has come in, millions have been killed in its establishment. Dissenters are imprisoned or put to death. Go read 1984. It is about this lovely scenario you wish for. I don't know who indoctrinated you, but you were fed lies. I lived through the cold war. I have a friend who grew up in Siberia because the communist government sent his family there to live in abject poverty. You people are fools who wish for your own demise. I hope that you are not fond of freedom in any measure. Capitalism, although flawed, has given us a chance to leave our station in life and excel through hard work and ambition. Under communism, you will be condemned to a life with potentials unrealized because your choices have stolen. Those who witnessed the horrors of communism would say, "better dead than red." Ignorant, ignorant people. Do some research. There are communist societies. See what they offer. Watch the Killing Fields about what happened in Cambodia. This is why they took history out of our schools. Because if you knew what it really offered, you wouldn't wish to live in that hell on earth.

    I got less than two minutes into the video, and I realized this guy has never known a farmer. "They're rich individuals." That was the reasoning that bolsheviks used to slaughter farmers in the Soviet union. Which resulted in millions upon millions of Russians dying of starvation, because they killed the only people who were competent to produce food.
    What's more I've never met a "rich farmer." The cost of taxes on the land and expense of farming equipment is a constant anchor around their neck.
    False consciousness, the way he is describing it describe it, is almost definitionally a conspiracy theory.

    Marxism is a mythology developed by Marx to speak to and organise mainly the French socialists of the time (hence his choice of French names) but anyone anywhere really. This mythology is reifies groups as if they are connected mystically to acting as a single unit. Marx defined a human being as only someone who believes and acts as a species being. Which for Marx is a socialist man or a communist.
    Marx was so wrong on a number of fronts that other Marxists like Gramsci had to redefine Marx into social Marxism ie critical theory out and away from conflict theory.
    Marxism borrows much from Christianity, Hermetic alchemy (this is really Hegel more that Marx) and Gnostic scientism of the French type like Saint-Simon and others.
    Frederic Bastiat in his writings ("the law" and "the state" tares the French socialist ideas to shreds and as an extention tares Marxism to shreds).

    As someone from a former communist country, I can say that Marx ideas only sound good on paper. In reality, human greed exists in communist countries where everyone gets an "equal part of the pie". Human greed in capitalism looks like exploitation. Human greed in communism looks like corruption and bribery. Example: During Soviet era, you had to bribe doctors and nurses to take good care of you if you were sick. Why? Because everyone was "equal" in pay, so the hospital staff would require bribes in order to "make up" for what communism took away. This was common practice in all form of business, not just hospitals. I hate communism and Marxist ideology because of this. On paper it looks good, in practice it fosters evil.

    • @vikcheban923
      @vikcheban923 4 роки тому +1

      @Quest Tzecai Bribery WAS illegal. But it was such common practice among police, judges, politicians, communes, and in every area that humans lived, that it was considered "normal". Some would get caught if they weren't liked by others, but most of the time it was the leaders of the communes that engaged in this. I.E. One leader would send goods from his commune of extracting coal to the leader of the commune that picked apples in exchange for his goods. (True story, as my parents worked in Soviet communes as adults and have told me several other firsthand stories such as that one).
      As far as increasing the amount of money, any increases would have to be small, otherwise risk of having "inequality" among the workers. Such small increases would do no good to bribery.
      And I assure you that any ideas you might have to solving issues such as bribery (among several other issues derived from Marxism) have been tried by the Soviets, as well as other communist states, without any avail.

      @@Ekyllier Thank you for pointing that out, and and I can see how it works either way. I will be more than willing to admit the flaws of the U.S. and capitalism in general and that is because there is no perfect system of government. That doesn't mean we can't evaluate the ones that exist, though. If U.S. is attempt at capitalism and USSR/China is attempt at communism we can compare the two and draw some conclusions. The trees of capitalism and communism bear fruit that extend beyond economic principles, into the lives of the people under those systems. Although the U.S. does have a dark history, in the last 100 years, U.S. hasn't killed millions of it's own people, invaded other countries (China with Hong Kong), done away with presidential term limits (Yingping), or stifled free speech (locking up whistleblower on covid-19 in china, suppression of the press) etc. Again, the U.S. definitely has some work to do, but any flaws in the attempt at capitalism systems are far outweighed by the flaws in the attempts at communist systems.
