“When I was poor and complained about inequality they said I was bitter; now that I'm rich and I complain about inequality they say I'm a hypocrite. I'm beginning to think they just don't want to talk about inequality.” -Russell Brand
They don't just want to not talk about inequality,
They want to just enforce it.

Equality of opportunity is a concept that is defended by even an average liberal. The problem arises when people think that it is achievable within capitalism, which is fundamentally incorrect.
Oh I think I just figured out what "yugopnik" probably means
Nice, new Yugopnik video😎 I think the idea of "modesty" and "keeping your head down" has been used so effectively to get people to accept the way things are. It's expected especially from interns: "Pay your dues and shut up." As though we need to venerate the existing hierarchy instead of challenge and dismantle it. They want us to accept our place on the totem pole. No more. Reject the boot✊🏽
Artists, too
As if socialism isn't oppressive. Not to mention socialists silence those who criticize them, how wonderful socialism is (sarcasm).
@@MetaKnight964 Indeed, has there ever been a government that calls itself socialist, that hasn't been oppressive?
but how do we end the concept of hierarchy in any productive field? a brick layer is important, but its obviously not the same role as the architect the idea we can just end hierarchies full stop makes no sense
@@JeffPenaify Where's the hierarchy? Architects can't build the design on their own. The bricklayer performs a crucial role.
Modesty in the Bible: a person of means giving away their wealth and living frugally to sustain their community

@@muslimmetalman "christian colonial countries. there are many christian socialist run countries which do not say that at all."
I *guarantee* you those countries are largely atheist and the Christians there generally don't take religion that seriously. Certainly not like the Christians in my country (USA).

Thing is, unfortunatly, Jesus is not being preached as a salvation anymore. he is being sold as a product
@@kronosbach5263 exactly. I'm an atheist myself but understand the needs for religion (as long as it is separate of state and workers but to be it's own entity that fills the soul for be worker with hope for a better future that they can achieve). I hate the fact how many religious are being abused by capatalists and their ideology of exploiting it for profit
My grandfather had always thaught me to work hard and keep your head down. He comes from a peasant background were he had to go to foreign lands and illegally work for abusive bosses, come home to work on the fields. That mentality kept him out of trouble but those circumstances don't apply to me. Why as a worker is it wrong to want more. Why is it greedy when we ask for more pay? I just want to live comfortably and have the means to start a family.
Preach brother!👏
Sounds like the start of a good capitalist, better produce more and find out how to automate or streamline your means to produce
Preach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mother knew a banking heirress who asserted that artists don't need to make money because they love what they do; and I'd have liked to have asked her "But what if someone enjoys being a banker?"
Or even better - surely the janitor must earn more than the banker, because they dislike thier job even more.
@@adddbsbs2169 Yes, right! And the janitor is probably exposed to health hazards too.
A bank can't be a bank without customers and money being circulated, an artist can be an artist with only fans that enjoy their work
@@AestheticSloth420 A banker can circulate that money without being paid. Don't they enjoy it?
@@DarksiderDarmoset no they can't, otherwise there's no motivation to have an efficient system not riff with corruption

@@cesarcampos8746 Agreement, I am a hard leftist anarchist communist/Syndicalist, which is what I recommend you looking into.
@Cesar Campos
That is the main goal of many socialists and a number of socialist ideals fit that. In its most basic form, socialism is just the means of production not being privately owned. This extremely loose definition is why there are dozens of different conceived systems for it. For example, one notable socialist, richard wolf, advocates heavily for worker coops, which are socialist in nature. It is literally a business but run by the employees instead of an employer. This model itself can see extreme variation, but that's the gist of it. Socialism doesn't have to be as extreme as many people believe it to be. It is really malleable.
@@AlOlexy It's the complete opposite for me.
Whenever I watch anything that comes remotely close to right wing, conservative, Cristian content, my recommendations are swarmed with left wing debunking content or socialist theory channels like this one.
Also loving the equilibrium scenes. That movie is underrated.

discovered through hasan, now i can share this shit to my normie homies to turn them to left side
Modesty in this context is part of what sociologists call "respectability", that is a trait of the ideal citizen established by the upper class and enforced through social norms. The purpose is to preserve power structures, mostly by making the working class police each other and themselves.
A "norm" isn't an ideal, it's an average. See Foucault.
:o
Artists are given the message that they should accept a life of poverty - the penalty for trying to live a creative life that most people wouldn't dare.
Unless they are good at capitalism; at which point they are either heaped with praise, in addition to riches, or else vilified for being "sellouts".
I only consider an artist to be a sellout if their art is often critical of capitalism or supportive of the working class. For example, if you rap about working a shitty 9-5 job to pay your bills while making millions on tour, you're a sellout, but if your intention has always been to make the big bucks then you're just a hypocrite trying to make money off your fans.
I’ve had an art job for money handed to me on a silver platter but I turned it down because I would rather be a starving mathematician or theoretical physicist.
@@nathanpetrich7309 "I only consider an artist to be a sellout if their art is often critical of capitalism or supportive of the working class...if you rap about working a shitty 9-5 job to pay your bills while making millions on tour, you're a sellout"
That makes no sense. What if you're rapping about your own life experience before your music career took off? "Successful" and "sellout" are differentiated by more than money.
@@TheMisterGuy If your own life experience goes from, "The world keeps me down, it's unjust, fight the power" to "the world lifted me up, it's deserved, protect my power" then they've sold out. The fact that it's someone's lved ecperience doesn't change the fact that their views on poverty and injustice changed when they were paid off. Not every successful person is a sell out, but they don't all make their millions preaching about iniustice and poverty.
@Chudds Mackenzie You've never heard of trust fund kids? People who produce little to no value can still rake in the cash if they are heirs to fortune, and they can hire others to manage their money and assets for them. On the other hand, those who work the longest hours in the most brutal conditions are obviously sweatshop laborers in the third world; the poorest people are the hardest working.
Honestly,
turning churches into hospitals sounds pretty rad and like people actually doing what their religion says.

I stopped being modest about my skills and worth a few years ago. It led to me starting my own company, where I quickly learned that people WILL pay you what you are worth.
Now I demand that the people who work with me and support my business endeavors are paid what they are worth too. Does this leave business opportunities on the table? Sure it does. But that's just bad money anyway, and I don't want to work for bad money.
Now, when people ask me "Why are your rates so high?" I say "High as compared to what?" I haven't had anyone present me with a good counterpoint to that. "Why are your rates so high?" is veiled language for "I don't want to pay you what you are worth."
There is a saying in my home country of Bulgaria :
"There is no such thing as 'modest people'
There are only people who 'have nothing to gloat about'"
I hate it 🤦🤦🤦

I'm pretty sure after watching all your videos as a Social Democrat, and suffering so bad this year as a restraunt worker in the U.S.A., I think I've become a Marxist...cool, I'm in an even smaller minority of the population of class illiterates. It was a gradual progression but your videos seemed geared to tackle a Social Democrat's last holdout arguments against Marxism. They answered my questions very well.
Nice! Randomly replying to this two years later but how's Marxism been treating you? Also if you do still consider yourself a Marxist, read Marxist theory, don't just get all your knowledge from UA-cam videos which are really only good for getting an initial overview

Hi chat!

No more modesty, we need more crude vulgarity from the actual people suffering from effects of capitalism!
"suffering from effects of capitalism" - You mean like radical reduction of global poverty and extreme improvement of quality of life?
Do you marxist illiterates read more than one book?
@@S3Mi87 Global poverty has only decreased because poverty is defined as living on less than $1.90 per day. Obviously that’s not a reasonable amount considering that $7.25 per hour is considered unlivable by most.

Listening to Jordan Peterson on Marxism makes as much sense
as listening to Stevie Wonder about Photography.
I would actually love to hear a blind person talk about photography, it'd be interesting to see their understanding of it and how they express a concept they can't directly experience visually. There are other aspects of photography they do have access to, however. The sound of the shutter, the pause and silence and awkwardness of posing for a photo, etc.
Yugopnik: “sorry if i butchered that”
Also Yugopnik: “says it in a perfect accent”
That's true modesty, right there.
This looks great already!! Imo i would shorten the title by like a word or two
Agreed
"There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice."- Mark Twain
I agree with this analysis, however, just as Socialism does not mean we should be poor, it also does not mean we should live in hedonistic excess. The goal is not so that everyone can live like the bourgeoisie, but so that we all can live comfortably. The type of hedonism and excess today is the result of an individualistic, selfish society, and the goal of Socialism is community and egalitarianism. Socialism is HUMILITY and sustainability, not poverty OR luxurious consumerism. Sadly, for some reason, many developing countries - even socialist nations - strive to emulate American or European levels and standards of consumerism and luxury either consciously or subconsciously, to develop to the same level of excess and grandiosity as if it is something to be admired, saying that they deserve to be prosperous, as if the American and European model of capitalistic excess, celebrity and consumerism is the definition of prosperity. Instead of trying to emulate the disgusting excess of the US and Europe, the rest of the world should try to avoid copying the very same destructive things they do and seek another way of development and consumption that is ACTUALLY sustainable while revolutionaries in the west should be striving to destroy the cultural hedonism and consumerism that capitalist ideology promotes in their nations and redefine the notion of prosperity in the US/Europe. The world does not need "luxury" cars, boats, clothing, housing or any other such commodity, and EVEN IF every nation on Earth had the means to obtain this they STILL should not be produced to prevent society from descending into individualistic hedonism and the social division that comes with it. Instead, we need high quality, durable, repairable commodities made in a sustainable manner accessible to all and to change our definition of "prosperity" to that of humility and fulfillment of ones basic needs within reason.
I would see collectives of people doing "luxury items" just for the sake of it.
Oh, Ferrari and Lamborghini have a sport car? Well, a collective of engineers can buit it too just to tell them "F*CK YOU! OURS IS BETTER THAN YOURS, AND AT A FRACTION OF THE COST!"
Gucci and YSL have brand clothing? A collective of seamters and seamstress can do just to tell them "Dahling, you call THIS 'fashion'? Oh, my poor summer child..."
Rolex make watches? A collective can make them just so they can call them "You have no taste in accessories, and may your ancestors weep in shame".
Hell, even jewelry can be done by a collective just to tell the great brands "THAT IS BLING-BLING, MFKER!"
We can do those things BECAUSE WE CAN.
Marxism is punk attitude applied to economics!
Light criticism, i think calling the disparity of modesty a double standard rather than a "bipolar idea" would have been a better use of language. Dunno what else to say here tho, the vid was great
I am so tired of listening to rich people complain about the poor, people of colour, and single mothers. It makes me sick.
I will never work for wealthy people again.
My life is committed to being of service to the elderly, vulnerable, unhoused.
There is so much and needless suffering in this world because of greed.
Society makes me sick.
UTOPIA IS NOT A PLACE, BUT A PROCESS!
Putting "bandiera rossa" in the outro fit just right 👌🏻
It's a tradition at this point.
Equality is not a political goal to be aspired to. The fundamental equality of human beings is a fact, and we all (equally) want to be free. We should be, and we can be.
I tend to substitute "anti-domination" for "equality" in political ideals. The aim is relations on a comradely, peer basis, without one person dictating another's options.
Utopia is not a place, BUT A PROCESS!
What strikes me as odd and contradictory about capitalism is that poverty is seen not so much as modesty but as pragmatism.
I have always noticed the right never tells the poor and working class to pool their resources and start businesses but to get jobs and work for employers.
This is partly why capitalism has a hard time rhetorically and intellectually even in America.
The Free Market system is not even seen as beneficial to the poor by wealthy or even modest capitalists. it's an inherent hypocrisy on their part.
Markets and capitalism for me not thee.
Actually, they do. They're about establishing more private businesses and contract/ gig work. Otherwise, they'd stress labor rights. But the American "right" and "left" tend to be more similar in economic values than different

hi @YUGOPNIK do you know a good answer to what some capitalist supporter say when they state this: capitalism is for a free market and socialism is against free market?
@@sserobinsse In my opinion: they should define what a free market is because I think most of them think that the ability to trade is inherent to capitalism even though the exchange of goods has existed for millennia. Also, capitalism doesn’t allow “free markets” in the sense of “competition” because if someone has a monopoly they can make the most profits by charging whatever they want. It’s foolish to believe someone is going to compete with Amazon or Walmart (in America).

Problem is fear often is valid. Having been in an abusive relationship for a decade and even after leaving it, the ongoing trauma and internalised self loathing means " accepting the boot" was the only reality I had as an option. While simultaneously being told there was no boot
The normal response when you can't attack nor flee is staying still, becoming as invisible as possible. You do it for long enough time, it becomes how you react in any threatening situation. "Learnt indefensness", if that's how it's written. I haven't been able to confront bosses, the police, nor my mistreating dad without going full modest... unless someone else's wellbeing is at stake.
When I though I was getting braver, nope, I had just dehumanized myself by hitting rock bottom and dealing with the dangerous people that became my equals. Still can't face my dad, probably never will, but I'm backpedaling a path that would've eventually turned me into another mistreater.
I'm 35 years old and just started specific therapy for mistreatment victims, which works like a charm and makes the 15 previous years of standard therapies a useless, expensive and draining joke.
Grow nuts
You can't really win in capitalism. I used to have the mentality "Work isn't supposed to be fun. Work is just supposed to be work." , but recently I was like (starting in August this year) "Damn is this dumb! We spend a third of our lives at work, and it ain't supposed to be fun?!" , so in September, I'll start studying to get my Abitur, so I can go to college pursuing the job I want. A job that is way more fun than warehousing. Which is Civil Engineering.
I'm lucky I live in a country where University and College are free, you just have to have great grades.
Pretty sure this poverty as modesty lark is the exact reason the Roman Empire adopted Christianity and it remained the colonialist religion of choice for millennia
I'm glad someone has finally said it. This shit is *not okay,* and people have a right to, and *are* right to, complain. Being shamed into licking the boots of the elite isn't "modesty," it's *surrender.*

I’ve recently been finding “smaller” (sorry) leftist UA-camrs because I kind of want to make my own channel because I’ve mostly stuck to writing. I like your work and I would just like to know if you think I should start it and if you have any tips. Thanks.
Good luck getting started comrade!
Abide by some of the algorithm's rules. Make sure you upload content with ruthless reliability--make an uploading schedule and stick to it. Making content related to something that is currently trending will give a needed boost.
Cash out any and all existing clout you might have. Any online communities you partake in, any friends or family or acquaintances who will watch your content or share it with others, utilize tactically.
Lastly, be prepared to not only fail, but fail repeatedly. Fail faster, and learn what works, and what doesn't. Decide how you are going to balance the scale between being true to yourself and your vision and being a player in a sociopathic attention economy that smiles little at leftist content.
My balance lies at 80/20, and I purposefully seppuku'd my entire social life years ago in a meltdown, and I upload whenever I can, not when I should. Thus, I am, by-the-numbers, a complete and total failure, and have been for years...but I have the tiny victory in remaining uncompromised for the day an angel's feather and a winning lottery ticket may ride a heavenly wind and hit me in the face.
Choose wisely, but know that there is no wrong method in a sincere campaign for socialism. Do what you must. Best of luck.
Also, random unsolicited tip, don't say sorry needlessly. You have nothing to apologize for reading the waters for what they are, and anybody who would be offended by the truth deserves no coddling.

Yup. I swear the people who think socialists should be deliberately modest are almost universally pro-capitalist. And can see no other possibility but thinking they have a Monopoly on valuing ambition and self-improvement. The difference between "improving material conditions" and "greed is good" is mostly a matter of who you want to empower to enrich themselves and their lives. Individual capitalists, or the entire working class.
Yugopnik is drippin'
Fairness > equality. It is unfair to expect the same contribution from one who is less able as from one who is more able. It is unfair to provide the same to someone with greater need as one with lesser need.
Equality = Fairness
The funny thing is the modern bourgeois form of modesty is also a defense mechanism for the class. Having seen the working classes rage at ostentation, theyve learned to pretend to have less wealth and denounce overt shows of it.
I must know what is the painting from the thumbnail and why is Marx kneeling in front of Jesus.
Let’s be honest. Christianity coopted modesty to sell poverty.
@Orla Orla what makes you think I was talking about EARLY christianity? (2 years ago lol)
There is greatness in modesty, sure, but not in cowardice. Thats what I feel, modesty as an excuse to accept the boot is propaganda, but also there is something obnoxious of rich people (capitalist or whatever) flaunting their money for me, maybe its my french side.
Already upvoted because I know it's gonna be good.
No you don't.
And how does socialism (in how it was implemented) sell poverty? We put Gagarin in space, so no matter that there's 10 year queue for a 1 bathroom apartment. Which is for free, but which you also do not own and which can be taken away from you, if you fail to like Lenin and Marx at some point in your life.

I can agree that it was good for the class of ''poor'' people, yes, definitely better than capitalism even if for the fact that you knew that doctors or company heads do not earn much more than you do, also for lazy people (unless you refused to work or only work was a factory drone and you did not want that - then you were sent to jail, unlike in oppressive capitalist West where you can be stay at home parent or just hang around homeless shelters or squat with your buddies somewhere) but for all the rest... I am quite happy with where I am in capitalism.
Lol comparing the inhumanity of living without a home to "just squatting with the boys" is cartoonishly villainous.

Wow, looks good! Like the guy in the comment section said, I'd shorten the title. Would love to watch it premiere but I'd be asleep then. Keep up the good work, tovarischi Yugopnik!
You were born a rich man and have everything. I was born a poor man and have only my dreams. So tread lightly, for you tread on my dreams. Best line from equilibrium.
I love your work yugopnik, you always manage to make theory easier to grasp :)
Oh my God this channel kicks ass
There's a song by Facundo Cabral, an Argentinian singer among other things, that goes "pobrecito my patrón, piensa que el pobre soy yo" which means something like "my poor boss, he thinks I'm the poor one", which I alwas heard old people repeat as an aknowledgement of the deep wisdom of the working class and how at the very least we had hapiness, something that the rich don't. As I've gotten older I've realized that that mentality is one of the most toxic you can have. Sure, your boss drives a Ferrari but his kids don't like him, you have no car and sometimes go to bed hungry because you give your food to your kids but, hey, they love you... maybe, and besides you're rich in spirit! keep your head down and you might just avoid getting fired and god might reward you in the afterlife, what a load of nonsense.
it's modesty when you're a shrewd negotiator in the moment keeping in your boss's good graces by preserving the status quo. it's fear when you're losing in the moment, because in the words of ernst stavro blofeld and dick jones and pretty much every other villainous movie boss ever, this organization does not tolerate failure and now it's time to erase that mistake.
Something doesn't add up imo. If he had so much compassion and love that it had to be tossed away to kill Horus, how come he didn't do it before the first two murders of his primarch sons, who have fallen as well? Would he not have to do that in their case too? Where was his compassion when he was purging the Thunder warriors? Finally, why hadn't he helped during the robot uprising if he was so lovely and compassionate? This is all very strange and contradicting to me
You inspire and invigorate me to not accept the injustices that are embedded in the capitalist system. Thank you.
There has to be some kind of starting line for everyone to begin the race but it has to be a equal starting line unfortunately for the poor they are far behind the starting line, $20 an hour minimum wage free college and free healthcare is a good start, if a skilled worker can make 40 to $60 an hour then good for him and if somebody climbs up the corporate ladder or becomes a successful businessman then he can make hundreds of dollars a day but as long as the poor and the middle class are at equal starting line then no one should have anything to complain about, the pursuit of happiness begins at a equal starting line, by the way I'm not a Marxist I'm just a socialist Catholic.
This is so bizarre, modesty my ass. Modesty is someone’s choice same as pretension, doesn’t matter if you have more or less. Modesty didn’t keep any one from doing anything same as pretension doesn’t allow some to gain more. The only thing stopping people is threat of violence and fear which the government has a monopoly on, if you don’t wanna get beaten then kidnapped then don’t argue with your government .
13 minutes is not long. We really need to raise our standards.
You have real talent for charismatic presentation, mate. And a good method of simplifying ideas to be easily understood.
Laissez Faire government and Laissez Faire economics are counterintuitive ideas. Peace through strength, Laffer Curve, and building a strong state on a base of strong individuals given individual liberty and expecting individual responsibility are counterintuitive ideas. Conservative ideas are counterintuitive.
Liberalism is not an ideology, Liberalism is an inability to use reason and logic to understand how the counterintuitive nature of the universe works so a person falls back on their emotions to reach a conclusion.
That is why there are no successful liberal talk radio shows, because liberals need moving pictures or hand puppets to trigger their emotions.
There was a huge global study where they asked thousands of people hundreds of questions and grouped them by their answers. People that ranked high in conscientiousness also favored conservative policies. People that ranked low in conscientiousness also favored liberal policies.
Meaning liberals have no intention of doing what is right or making sacrifices for the good of society.
Young liberal women report having mental health issues more than twice as much as young conservative women and liberals report more mental health problems than conservatives across the board.
All forms of government other than Laissez Faire are made by people that can't still their mind long enough to understand how the counterintuitive nature of the universe works.
Nothing has changed since the sixth century BC when Lao Tzu said "running a government should be like frying little fishes," as simple and minimalist as possible.
The modern Democrat party is made up of people with the same dysfunctional brain as the people that created communism and socialism. They are just as capable and likely to commit the same atrocities committed by other collectivist governments and should be treated no differently than the horrible people that pushed collectivist totalitarianism an used it to subjugate people.
This was a power hitter. As always, very inspiring✊🏴🚩✊
Ooooh I get to watch Cillian Murphy looking fine af while listening to Marxist analysis? subbed.

I used to listen to Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro when I was 14-15 but now I find capitalism extremely cringe. It’s sad to see ppl my age who haven’t grown out of that phase.
But now you are watching extremely cringe inducing left leaning content.
