      It's the fact that Marxism was primarily revolutionary being entirely focused on fighting against systems that use force, most commonly semi-feudal or ex-colonial societies that are capitalistic enough to allow for Marxism to exist but are still reliant on force in order to exist.
      But socialism either dissolves or gets turned into a tool for reinforcing the current system when faced with actual capitalism. As capitalism always used temptation in order to exert itself, not force.

    Interesting video. I like the distinctions that you made between the different classes. You make a good point about the distinctions between the rural working class (peasants) and urban working class (proletariat). They really are two distinct groups of people with distinct interests, which is why you often see them pitted against each other by contemporary politicians. It makes sense why the former, being more self-sufficient, would be more supportive of the anarchists: they don’t require civilization as much to survive. This is actually a topic that I’d like to see you go further in depth on: where their interests overlap, where they converge, and how they’re pitted against each other.

      @lauri oho Not really. In fact, the reason why communism was able to get off the ground in the first place was because of the proletariat. The living conditions of that class is INCREDIBLY different. Being in a rural area there's basically no-one to exploit you. You know your boss personally and your boss doesn't answer to anyone but himself. You have dinner with him because you go hunting together and are often neighbors. Or you work in a small local store which serves everyone whose owner you directly answer to. At worst, you're a corporate farmer who really is too focused on maintaining your animals to really give much of a shit about much else and are very unlikely to be in it for the money. Or if you are in it for the money, you actually make something fairly decent. The peasants also have their small piece of land they manage and can generally do whatever they want with.
      In comparison, the proletariat is the inner city apartment dwellers trying to work two jobs to stay afloat. They answer to a manager who has their own bosses to answer to long up the chain, everyone hates their job and probably even hates their co-workers and 50/50 on hating their boss. The proletariat is the classic Democrat little guy. The person who works hard, living on subsistence in a tiny shoebox within a filthy and uncaring city.
      Subsistence for the peasant is generally far better in comparison in terms of life satisfaction since you know your neighbors (even if they're not necessarily close by), you know your boss generally well, and even with a hard days work you have yourself a corner to call all your own with people bothering you being optional.
      While the proletariat is just the bottom rung drone of a long line of inputs into a very large business that he has no investment in and owns nothing in his life, the peasant (while still bottom rung) knows what he's doing and why and has a community around him to keep things together and working.

    It should also be noted that self-sufficiency breeds conservatism. In economically dynamic cities, progress is the norm. In the countryside, where the people have always had the same way of life, the status quo is usually maintained. This can explain why rural areas often hew conservative.
    Of course, there's also the progressive/conservative split present in the cities themselves. Most of the ML vanguard were upper/middle class; Lenin himself was minor nobility, and Marx was the son of a very wealthy father. Many of the lower class, however, were quite conservative (see the "Black Hundreds" movement). The upper class, focused as they are on education and philosophy, often swing to radical ideas, mentioned in the video as changing to a more virtuous class. The lower classes often lack access to such resources, and as such tend to cling much more tightly to what they do have: tradition. The best example of this is religiosity; the upper class vanguard despised religion of all types, even as their followers were often quite religious. It was an ongoing project in the early USSR to re-educate the populace out of those habits (which mostly failed, seeing how quickly the post-Soviet populace flocked back to religion. Even in China, there's a huge religious underground the state very much does not want to talk about)

      It's the opposite- it's the LOWER middle class (a literal translation of "petit bourgeois" would be "small town dweller"). It's composed of small business owners, independent contractors lower management and the like, and Marxists consider them to be a sort of envious sub-strata of the bourgeoisie proper who are typically aspiring to have more success than they have, with Marx himself considered them the losers of the bourgeoisie who will see what little power and prestige they have gradually erode as capitalism reaches its breaking point.
      The term for the upper middle class is "haute bourgeoisie", though that is much more obscure.

    "Vladimir Lenin popularised political vanguardism as conceptualised by Karl Kautsky, detailing his thoughts in one of his earlier works, What is to be done?.[1] Lenin argued that Marxism's complexity and the hostility of the establishment (the autocratic, semi-feudal state of Imperial Russia) required that a close-knit group of individuals pulled from the working class vanguard to safeguard the revolutionary ideology within the particular circumstances presented by the Tsarist régime (Russian Empire) at the time. While Lenin wished for a revolutionary organisation akin to the contemporary Social Democratic Party of Germany, which was open to the people and more democratic in organisation, the Russian autocracy prevented this."

    At the end of the video you claim that the PRC is trying to go back to it's roots. that is a lie the PRC never gave up marxism leninism they just changed from a stalinist interpretation to the interpretation favored by Lenin and Burkhain call the NEP (new economic policy). Deng said multiple times during the 80s that chinese reform was influenced by Burkhain and the NEP, and NEP theory was taught heavily to the PRC party cadres during the 80s during the reform and opening up. To this day, the PRC still maintain complete government control over large and important industries and only really allowed liberalization of medium and small size business which is basically what occurred under the NEP in the 1920s

    Russia under the Tsar was poorly developed and barely industrialised, but when the bolsheviks took power it rapidly industrialised.

    Bolsheviks did give all the peasents land as they promised so it would be wrong to say that they repressed peasants after taking power. Only those landlords who own too much land that they hire the most poor peasants to work their land would object to it. Which noone should take seriously anyway.
    Extreme poverty and war is the rule in capitalism. And it is proven with marx's capital and lenin's imperialism theories. Time and time again we see their theories confirmed even to this day. So in those conditions that people die of starvation, homelessness and endless wars, the revolution for peace bread and land is the most important thing no matter what. Revolutionary party would have to do anything to stop this massacre of millions. And they did end the war with popular support.
    One thing you don't mention in your videos is that other than kerensky's goverment, there are soviet organizations happening all around the country. And when we look at the soviet support of bolsheviks we can see the revolution was a popular support for bolsheviks and not just a power vaccuum. If it were a power vaccum only, than Social-revolutionaries, mensheviks or other leftwing political groups may take it. But Leninist bolsheviks succeeded and succeeded more than once in more than one country. So presenting it as just luck is simply wrong.
    Unable to govern a country is always a condition for change be it reformist or revolutionary.
    Vanguardism is not manipulating the class. As you explained, it is just teaching the class their interests and show them the need to rule. When capitalists wage war and make you live in poverty and hunger, workers die in millions because of it, you can see it clearly as a war. Every war has officers and generals. The vanguard party is the officers of the working class which work in democratic centralist structure as Lenin pointed out. It is as simple as that.
