Support me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/ComradeHakim Twitter: @YaBoiHakim Hi there. Building up from the previous video (on why Capitalism is a crap system, generally), here we discuss how & why Socialism is a superior system. Aside from the evidence and experience of former Socialisms heavily improving the lives of those who lived during them, Socialism also stands atop theoretical principles (that have been put into practice at differing times, to differing extents) that thoroughly solidify the system's coherence and superiority over Capitalism. *Sources* journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.2190/AD12-7RYT-XVAR-3R2U www.forbes.com/sites/richardmcgahey/2020/12/17/amazon-gets-billions-while-state-and-local-government-budgets-collapse/?sh=6f8e45a342db online.ucpress.edu/elementa/article/doi/10.1525/elementa.310/112838/Current-global-food-production-is-sufficient-to www.huffpost.com/entry/percent-of-world-with-col_n_581807 *Books Recommended:* Socialism: Utopian and Scientific by Engels People's Republic of Walmart by Phillips and Rozworski Towards a New Socialism by Cockshott and Cottrell Cybernetic Revolutionaries by Medina
@@Kakashi75 Not in a logic and axioms sense anyway, for sure. There is the problem that a socialist structure assumes the majority of its citizens will voluntarily work for the benefit of all. I think that's been a real problem for giant super-states with unwieldy bureaucracy, because that presumption turns into a bit of a coin toss. That being said, I think the structure would work super well in smaller communities where collective benefit would immediately be desirable for the furtherance of everyone involved. Say, around 2,000 citizens. What do you think?

@@hoagielamp6543 Why all the enlightened socialists think economy exists in a vacuum? Group interests are inevitable at odds with one another and they become more pronaunced as life gets easier because the need for cooperation diminishes due to the lack of common problem. That's leads to change in the moral code of the people and how they see the world...in other words, the culture becomes more diversified and consequently more conflicting aspects of it emerge! That leads to conflict and to one side dominating over the other sides. Then we have basically the same situation as before...a group interests dominating over the entire society! Nothing is really different, just different name!
Another thing to point out is the terrible conditions the lowest class is subject to in every capitalist country, regardless of the wealth of the country. I live in a city famous for homelessness, thanks to the failings of capitalism and austerity.

Brazil, my friend, is actually one of the most likely countries in the world to have a socialist revolution in the next 50 years (as well as India). It closely resembles tsarist Russia of our time economically, being developed enough to have an organized proletariat and fend off intervention but poor enough to motivate people to start a revolution. That's why your leaders are scared shitless.
@@mikhailmaksimov9777 actually, I'm pretty doubtful, right now people don't see the left in a good light, seeing as how of the last 2 leftist presidents, one was impeached and the other was realeased from prison a while ago because of "corruption" (with the main evidence being TV footage) and we got this failure of a leader that a lot of people support
It’s surprising how much of a grasp the president in Brazil has on its citizens, I mean I’m friends with an immigrant who moved fairly recently from Brazil to the US and is still somehow a very staunch supporter of Maduro even though they don’t live there.

Anarchism has incentive of securing bread and leisure. Marxism has incentive of creating a post-scarcity communist society. Saying that socialism has no incentive to improve is simply lie. Dumb liberal philosophers and their "greedy human nature" 🤣🤣🤣
Militarism isn't a problem but Imperialism is. Though the two are well synergized, Militarism can swing the opposite way, so Socialism can enforce the political will of the people rather than the 1%.

@@DanNorton1 It's literally impossible to become truly 'rich' through your own labor and ingenuity alone. Even if you assume that the rich person had a great idea, they gain the wealth by skimming the profit off the labor of the people who actually manufacture the genius invention.

"how can I better work with other people?" you ask? fucking pay them. You learn soon enough that if you want people to work for you , you have to pay them money, so we go back to capitalism. NOBODY does jack shit for you for no reason, unless its a family member
@@sten260 "Paying people to work for them" is exactly what Capitalists DON'T want to do. Hiring people to work for them and pay them as little money as possible is the workaround when it comes to the fact that Capitalism requires a constant workforce to function despite its many contradictions. Labor laws exist as a measure to prevent the Capitalist from engaging in practices such as wage slavery. But because of the Capitalist system, those measures only amount to temporary solutions at best.
Of course Socialism is better than Capitalism. + Socialism doesn't require exploitation + Socialism can achieve more with less + Socialism creates Scientific Societies + Socialism is geared toward the development of mankind + Socialism is environmentally friendly + Socialism is Anti-Racist + Socialism is Non-Xenophobic + Socialism is a mode of production controlled by the working class! The list goes on and on!
@Hussein The Barbara Pit Enthusiast I like how conservatives quote George Orwell although he was a democratic socialist and even supported the Catalan revolution.
I was talking to my friend last night who has the general American opinion on communism and after talking to him for a while he said that biggest reason he wasn’t in support of communism is because he didn’t understand how it would function in reality. I hate how everyone in my country has been spoon fed so much propaganda about communism, but the full concept is never explained to them.

@@hunterhoyt9571 My apologies, but the "bourgeoisie" aren't the only owners of private property, friend. Anyone who owns so much as the clothes they wear has private property (something that they own by right). Socialism doesn't recognize any boundaries on what may be taken from one to be given to another. Modern socialism believes individual ownership of property is wrong. As it's new slogan says: "you will own nothing, and you will be happy." This is morally unacceptable, that someone works for everyone but him/herself.

Also regarding the economic calculation problem, you do not need to plan every single detail at the very top level to be obediently and mindlessly followed down to when Jane Doe on 123rd ABC St. gets a new bulb in each light in her home, what type of bulb that will be, and what contingencies must be made for new technologies developed or new standards in efficiency or lightning type. With modern computing hardware and database systems you probably could, but it's certainly not necessary. All you really need to do is estimate how many of each type of lightbulb you need to produce per time period, and use statistical information on consumption of those lightbulbs to estimate where you need to make them available in stores.
You could also decide to make light bulbs which dont have planned obsalecence and compare the impact on the environment to the cost of reusable light bulbs.
It never works that way, however. You're describing a form of utopia, and utopia is not an option. Market economies work, without worrying about achieving perfection. Central economies have never worked, despite seeking perfection.
@@barrackobama2216 *Not that central planning has been proven to work.* Which is the entire point. Nothing is ever perfect, especially not human endeavours. Central planning, in reality, makes every economy a chronic bust and increases starvation. My apologies, but that's the fact of reality. Reality has a way of biting people who ignore it right where it really hurts.
@@roberteugene7295What fact of reality ? Ther is none. If you're referring to the past, there were mistakes. Calculations were done by hand and, as you said. With automation, and our improved knowledge and forms of logistics, more accurate plans can be made. Not to mention that not everything has to be planned to down. Non - perishable products can have the supply chain being considered in sections, with everything lower just needing to be able to provide the necessary materials/products (minimums). The encourages efficiency, because the more you get from little, the less extensive you production is, which means less parameters and variables. We can also use the same methods of delivering (on demand / replenishment/ on previsions) as today and with the same reasoning. Achieving perfection, as you said, shouldn't be the goal. However, we can try to approach it. Also, you describe the concept of the original comment as utopian when that's how LITTERALLY industrial businesses operate. Light bulb makers, car makers, laptop makers and so forth. All use statistical data to decide what should be made, when, what variations to give and how much should be produced to meet the expected demand. Why ? Overproduction is a huge no - no (while it seems efficient, it doesn't include planned obsolescence nor when it can mean waste like in the agro industry where tons of stuff gets destroyed instead of feeding the world) and sale flops are potentially very damaging.
Well you should read about history and understand what happened better than your teacher. That will include what and why mistakes where made in past socialist countries and everything else and in between, etc etc. Your teacher is probably just a lib that has one sided propaganda.
My history teacher talked about how his grandfather was a Marxist until the day he died and so he would always trash Marxism and was such a lib and I just thought damn I hope my kids aren't like this

As an anarchist, I have my criticisms of the state, but any opportunity for the workers to wield the state against the capitalist class should be taken 100%. A worker’s state is better than a capitalist state any day of the week. I would just stress that the working class must not place all its trust in the state and must organize such that the state becomes obsolete. The state doesn’t just wither away on its own; it is up to the workers to take away its power.
Dan Norton For one, states tend to produce nationalism as a cultural self preservation mechanism, and that’s not good for culture in the long term. In the event that the workers want one thing and the state wants another, the state must lose.
Dan Norton Yes, within reason. I think people should be able to buy almost anything. But I do not think people should be able to buy, hire, or otherwise exploit other people. Once someone else’s work is involved, they should have the right to be part of the decision making process, including the decision of who earns how much.

Prageru Unironically said that being called a communism should be an insult or just as bad as being called a Nazi. They quite literally compared an ideology centered around genocide to an ideology based on making everyone equal.
For context, I gave an example of a capitalist country that was a failed state. I also pointed out that the top ten poorest countries are all capitalist, but he blocked me before I could send the message.
And Nigeria is poor due to lack of economic palns, lack of trade , lack of proper usage of natural resources , corruption and past imperialism. And you say capitalism did? MOST of the failed states at African continent are failed states not because of capitalism but due to lack of capitalism.
Here's an example of why Socialism is more efficient than Capitalism: In Socialism, you can easily eliminate unemployment by using workload caps to redistribute the existing workload. Every year, you check the % of unemployment, and then you reduce the current workload cap by that %. So, if the current workload cap is 40 hours a week, and the country has a 20% unemployment rate, you reduce the workload cap by 20%, to 32 hours a week. That will ensure there is enough work avaiable for those seeking employment. Under Capitalism, you have one portion of society being made to work for long, tiresome work weeks, while another portion is left unemployed. Socialism does a much more balanced alocation of workload, to ensure everyone has access to a decent quality of life as well as the benefits of working, while also having more free time, improving the mental health of BOTH groups and increasing economic productivity.
The employment rate is generally somewhere around 3-5% and those who are unemployed is likely to be less skillful, so that could make your idea somewhat less effective.
So instead of 40h work weeks you go to some random people and make them fill in the last 10 hours and the original worker gets to work 30 hours? Who wants to only work for three quarters of their wages so some unemployed stranger can jump in and take the other quarter? Oh no, I want ny other quarter.
@@coardlowery322 If a worker normally works hours for £300 a day for 40 hours a week but now he works for the same wage for 30 hours a week, he'd be paid more than what his labour is worth. That causes inflation due to monetary supply not being backed up by equally valuable labour.
oh no, how dare someone living under capitalism do what is required to survive under that system. how terrible... by your logic criticism of literally any system is hypocritical and invalid Slave: "this slave society sucks" Slave: Eats the scraps given to them by their masters Peasant: "Feudalism Sucks" Peasant: lives off the land owned by feudal lords see what i mean?

@@DanNorton1 There is no coherent human nature. Physical circumstances changes human behaviours for example feudal production relations create feudal consciousness. human nature is metaphysical argumant and it is not scientific
@@DanNorton1 it is biological neccesery and even it changes with evolution but i mean humanity behaviors for exapmle humans are not greedy or helpfull economic system creates human's behaviours
Capitalism was good, that is a fact, it gave the opportunity fo non-royals to get some wealth, giving more power to those who in before that, would be as poor as any other under feudalism. The problem is that was the first step of equal wealth for all, and we are stuck in there. Adam Smith may not considered the whole picture or it was the plan all this time. We need to progress, as is more human nature to progress than being greedy and selfish.
"Socialism gave people a higher standard of living than capitalism, *given equal levels of economic development*." In my mind, that was a flaw in the argument that was never clarified. Capitalists usually argue that under capitalism economic growth is bigger, so they'll experience higher economic development than if they had adopted socialism, therefore comparing equal levels of economic development is a flawed comparison. A more fair comparison would be to find out how much more developed a capitalist economy must be to achieve the same level of living standards as a socialist economy. With that you could show that even if you were to assume that under capitalism economic growth is bigger than in socialism, the disparity in standards of living is much greater. As Marx said, "There must be something rotten in the very core of a social system which increases its wealth without diminishing its misery". I'm going to read the study and watch your other video on this topic, where this issue might already be addressed. I'll post something here if i find anything. EDIT: I read the article and saw the video, sadly this issue is never addressed.
@@ExPwner PraxBen's video fails to debunk any of this. He never addresses most of statistics presented on the paper, instead he points out that the authors of the paper aren't economists without specifying how that affects the paper in any way. He loosely implies that they failed categorize countries economies as "capitalist" or "socialist" and the few examples he does give, as far as I can tell, are wrong. He also goes in a tangent about how the soviet union bought their first trucks from the US, as if it was remotely relevant to the study. Finally, he references a bunch of papers and says they support his argument without ever actually presenting what they say. I might give the papers a read but I'm not impressed so far. I'll check the reddit thread though.
@@3snoW_ false. He did debunk it because they failed to accurately categorize capitalist and socialist countries, they put high performing capitalist counties into a category beyond comparison, and they put low performing socialist countries also out of the comparison all of which he points out in the video.
@@ExPwner Quoting the paper: "The designation of each country's political-economic system as capitalist or socialist corresponded to the United Nations' classification of countries as market economies or as centrally planned economies." They used the UN classification, and they are explicit on it, how are they mislabeling countries? They also justify why there's a separate category for the low performing socialist countries. It's not because they are low performing, it's because they transitioned to socialism recently so "the impact of change in political-economic system could not be fully realized within such a brief period of time." This to me is a fair point, and when you consider that a lot of these countries had a violent civil war prior to the transition, it mainly reflects how war has a negative impact on the quality of life of the people.
So called capitalists don't like to point to the tons of capitalist countries like the Philippines and Thailand (or many in the third world) who are more destitute than the US and western Europe. They construct the mythology with only the US and western Europe as the implied example, but the US and western Europe got/gets much of their capital accumulation from siphoning it out of the third world. See Hakims video "Why Poor Countries Stay Poor?"

It isn't free, it's just more equally distributed to the workers who earned it rather than giving three quarters of the wheel to one CEO whilst the labourers stuggle to feed themselves and their families on the rest
@@DanNorton1 It's free for the same reason why cheese in the mousetrap is free - it is merely bait for the stupid sheeple to get shafted by big government which socialism creates.
12:50 A common problem I see on all socialist utopias with worker coops is that not all workers are created the same. Everything is framed as CEO vs labor, which tbf right now it is, but there are different classes within workers too that you'll need to resolve without vague handwaving. For instance, if a software engineering company needs a few warehouse hands to install hardware, do the warehouse hands have equal say in the company as the engineers? Their salary is different because the work is more valuable and less replaceable (granted, that is probably a capitalist mindset but I don't know how else to illustrate the difference). Surely if one's work is more necessary to the company, you have a greater say, a larger vote share, and larger profit sharing right? Especially in the case of profit sharing, it can get really expensive to fire people who simply aren't being productive because most partnerships require something like a two-year payout of partner shares in order to remove them as partners. If everyone is a partner, a single unproductive person can weigh everyone else down and be financially infeasible to remove.
@@strega1380 The part about valuing less replaceable labor was the mindset part. The fact that some labor is more important than others is a fact of life; there are different classes _within the labor class,_ and there's zero commentary on it in both this and Vaush's content.

The claim that a computer could calculate a whole economy is completely unfounded. I'm an engineer and part of my education covered industrial engineering courses aka managing the economy/line balancing and quality systems of the factory. The way companies do this today is that you hire a team of industrial/business engineers and leave them full time to work this stuff out. The technology to actually automate this stuff isn't there. It'd be way cheaper to just set up a computer to automate this stuff, management would absolutely love being able to fire the team balancing the production but we're just not there yet, this stuff is fantasy. The closest we have today is probably systems like CASAT, which while well under way to getting there is still decades away from fully automating even one factory. An entire economy is just unthinkable compared to where we are today. edit: I've written more thoughts as I watch through this video as response to my comment.
Comment 1: Another comment, you claim that capitalist systems simply cannot handle climate change something direclty proven wrong by the Montreal Protocol that succesfully tackled the freon issue. It requires strong regulation but capitalism can, and has already done so in the past deal with environmental challenges.
Comment 2: You're making a claim that under capitalism workers in a corporation has no say in how it's run and no input on the organisation. This is also false. There's a modern trend towards a production system called "Six Sigma". The core of six sigma is just that, you improve the organisation by involving your workers, giving them an input on how everything is going and how it can be improved. In the west we're not that good at this yet but we're learning from Japan and trying to incorporate this stuff, change towards a more floor heavy input driven organisation is already in place in Japan, and developing in the west. Comment 3: You're claiming that only a planned economy can be rationally managed but ignoring the rationalisation movements in Industry. You should look up Taylorism/scientific management and the rationalisation effords in the second industrial revolution if you want to understand how industry and economies today are managed scientifically.
@@Peanutcat by definition it is true that workers have no say in capitalism as the capitalist owns that means of production, they don’t have to follow any workers inputs if they don’t want to bc they own the means of production and until they do they won’t have any real say over the situations you put them in. Until workers completely own the means of production there is no democracy, there is just a megaphone in front of you and a knife behind your back.
@@hybridxg2204 Just because people have a voice in something doesn't mean that you'll land on a good solution. Take Brexit, it was the great democratic will of the people and now they're facing local food shortages as their will is being carried out. You don't want majority consenseus on complicated things that take 5 years to learn, you want the technical experts to make those choices. It's entirely possible that things can/could've panned out faster but it's also possible that things could've gone very wrong instead, one thing being bad doesn't make the other good. You're simplifying the problem a bit too much, you can't just say that by definition X therefore X because the definition can be wrong. The reason for the trend towards Six Sigma is that those corporations are simply outcompeting the others, if you're a capitalist and decide that you're going to make do without and not implement floor feedback you'll go bankrupt as the other system is simply better. It takes ages, there will be the odd outliers that survive for a while but the end result will still be there.
The best reply to “but socialism/communism doesn’t work and is doomed to failure!!!” is the question “Really? Then why does america work so hard to destroy socialist and communist countries?

Hey, could you do a video on China in the future? I feel like you've touched on it before, but never in any depth. There are lots of contradictions in Chinese policies that pushes me to believe that it's no longer socialist and hasn't been since about 1978 when Deng Xiaoping rolled back the Iron Rice Bowl and other great policies of the cultural revolution. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
in fact,no longer when hua guofeng backed by deng xiaopin steal the power by overthrow the four gang after Mao died immediately. the time is 1976.10, mao died in 1976.9.9
Oh yeah China has long been an authoritarian capitalist country as opposed to a socialist or communist country despite their leading part being the called the Chinese Communist Party
Have you noticed that Anarchists and Marxists have differing definitions of a "state"? Most Anarchist structures for distribution of power fall neatly into the Marxists' definition.
I think like Hakim said, there is need for discipline from our working class revolution. We as communists or socialists will never achieve anything without an organized and disciplined movement. Sorry, instant gratification and convenience are not things a revolution of thought or economy or politics will produce. Struggle is the name of the game, and I trust that powerful individuals will continue to seek their own financial benefit in the form of capitalism relentlessly under a socialist, prole rule. If we get too comfortable with the way things are, things tend to get worse. I trust that even once, we reach socialism, the struggle will not be over, and that is what it means to be dialectical.
7:44 The information here is not necessarily true. Your scope is wrong regarding the devices here. It’s a small aside, as we do have the computing power, but even small economies are way too much for a modern smartphone. You’d need some cloud computing. Again, small aside, but we would need cloud computing centers (or supercomputers, but cloud computing would actually be better for this case) to plan economies, regardless of scale.

"Unless the system is ended, there will be irreversible changes to the environment that will make life as we know it something of the past" This is ALREADY happening. We are currently undergoing a massive biodiversity loss and global warming. Ted Reese in his "Socialism or Extinction" lays out just how fucked the environment already is because of capitalism. (i would highly recommend reading this book)

@@primeroyal7434 Totally true. Imagine the sheer number of hours spent just to provide insane profits to the rich. Imagine not working for rich vampires anymore. We can either use the extra time for leisure, personal projects, or work more efficiently on meaningful jobs. No one can refuse that.
@@Simboiss That's why I call overworking and profits "theft". Many studies show that only 45-55% of our work-time is productive, something that we can further drive down with automation. And over two-thirds of our labour value is stolen by tax and profits. Why steal our free time and money bruh?
@@primeroyal7434 I think it's more to the tune of 1:20, because of the banking system, the debt service and whatnot. But I usually play it safe and stay conservative at 1:10. This means a work week of 4 hours. It's insane. You can be even more conservative and set it to a "generous" 10 hours a week. It's still a bargain. Imagine, you could work one 10-hour day in the week, and get 6 days of time off. Or you could opt for 2 days of 5 hours, with 5 days off.

Hi there. Building up from the previous video (on why Capitalism is a crap system, generally), here we discuss how & why Socialism is a superior system. Aside from the evidence and experience of former Socialisms heavily improving the lives of those who lived during them, Socialism also stands atop theoretical principles (that have been put into practice at differing times, to differing extents) that thoroughly solidify the system's coherence and superiority over Capitalism.

Group interests are inevitable at odds with one another and they become more pronaunced as life gets easier because the need for cooperation diminishes due to the lack of common problem.
That's leads to change in the moral code of the people and how they see the world...in other words, the culture becomes more diversified and consequently more conflicting aspects of it emerge! That leads to conflict and to one side dominating over the other sides.
Then we have basically the same situation as before...a group interests dominating over the entire society! Nothing is really different, just different name!

My apologies, but the "bourgeoisie" aren't the only owners of private property, friend. Anyone who owns so much as the clothes they wear has private property (something that they own by right). Socialism doesn't recognize any boundaries on what may be taken from one to be given to another.
Modern socialism believes individual ownership of property is wrong. As it's new slogan says: "you will own nothing, and you will be happy." This is morally unacceptable, that someone works for everyone but him/herself.

Also regarding the economic calculation problem, you do not need to plan every single detail at the very top level to be obediently and mindlessly followed down to when Jane Doe on 123rd ABC St. gets a new bulb in each light in her home, what type of bulb that will be, and what contingencies must be made for new technologies developed or new standards in efficiency or lightning type. With modern computing hardware and database systems you probably could, but it's certainly not necessary. All you really need to do is estimate how many of each type of lightbulb you need to produce per time period, and use statistical information on consumption of those lightbulbs to estimate where you need to make them available in stores.
You could also decide to make light bulbs which dont have planned obsalecence and compare the impact on the environment to the cost of reusable light bulbs.

@@roberteugene7295What fact of reality ? Ther is none.
If you're referring to the past, there were mistakes. Calculations were done by hand and, as you said. With automation, and our improved knowledge and forms of logistics, more accurate plans can be made.
Not to mention that not everything has to be planned to down. Non - perishable products can have the supply chain being considered in sections, with everything lower just needing to be able to provide the necessary materials/products (minimums). The encourages efficiency, because the more you get from little, the less extensive you production is, which means less parameters and variables.
We can also use the same methods of delivering (on demand / replenishment/ on previsions) as today and with the same reasoning.
Achieving perfection, as you said, shouldn't be the goal. However, we can try to approach it.
Also, you describe the concept of the original comment as utopian when that's how LITTERALLY industrial businesses operate. Light bulb makers, car makers, laptop makers and so forth. All use statistical data to decide what should be made, when, what variations to give and how much should be produced to meet the expected demand. Why ? Overproduction is a huge no - no (while it seems efficient, it doesn't include planned obsolescence nor when it can mean waste like in the agro industry where tons of stuff gets destroyed instead of feeding the world) and sale flops are potentially very damaging.

That's a lot of stuff, but I try my best, comrade.
As an anarchist, I have my criticisms of the state, but any opportunity for the workers to wield the state against the capitalist class should be taken 100%. A worker’s state is better than a capitalist state any day of the week. I would just stress that the working class must not place all its trust in the state and must organize such that the state becomes obsolete. The state doesn’t just wither away on its own; it is up to the workers to take away its power.
What are your criticisms of the state?
Dan Norton For one, states tend to produce nationalism as a cultural self preservation mechanism, and that’s not good for culture in the long term. In the event that the workers want one thing and the state wants another, the state must lose.
@@Holobrine Do you think people should be free to do what they want with the money they earn?
Dan Norton Yes, within reason. I think people should be able to buy almost anything. But I do not think people should be able to buy, hire, or otherwise exploit other people. Once someone else’s work is involved, they should have the right to be part of the decision making process, including the decision of who earns how much.
@@Holobrine What's wrong with hiring someone (on terms both parties have agreed to)?

Why
Omg commusjsn!
When I said something positive about socialism, someone literally pulled the "but Venezuela!" Card. I pulled the "Nigeria" card. He blocked me.
For context, I gave an example of a capitalist country that was a failed state. I also pointed out that the top ten poorest countries are all capitalist, but he blocked me before I could send the message.
Really Venezuela?
Ever heard about human nature itself?
And Nigeria is poor due to lack of economic palns, lack of trade , lack of proper usage of natural resources , corruption and past imperialism. And you say capitalism did? MOST of the failed states at African continent are failed states not because of capitalism but due to lack of capitalism.
And i highly doubt that your story you are saying are any truth
Here's an example of why Socialism is more efficient than Capitalism:
In Socialism, you can easily eliminate unemployment by using workload caps to redistribute the existing workload.
Every year, you check the % of unemployment, and then you reduce the current workload cap by that %.
So, if the current workload cap is 40 hours a week, and the country has a 20% unemployment rate, you reduce the workload cap by 20%, to 32 hours a week. That will ensure there is enough work avaiable for those seeking employment.
Under Capitalism, you have one portion of society being made to work for long, tiresome work weeks, while another portion is left unemployed.
Socialism does a much more balanced alocation of workload, to ensure everyone has access to a decent quality of life as well as the benefits of working, while also having more free time, improving the mental health of BOTH groups and increasing economic productivity.
The employment rate is generally somewhere around 3-5% and those who are unemployed is likely to be less skillful, so that could make your idea somewhat less effective.
So instead of 40h work weeks you go to some random people and make them fill in the last 10 hours and the original worker gets to work 30 hours?
Who wants to only work for three quarters of their wages so some unemployed stranger can jump in and take the other quarter? Oh no, I want ny other quarter.
@FakenameStevens this would have no effect on your wage. You would simply work less hours for same pay.
@@coardlowery322 If a worker normally works hours for £300 a day for 40 hours a week but now he works for the same wage for 30 hours a week, he'd be paid more than what his labour is worth. That causes inflation due to monetary supply not being backed up by equally valuable labour.
A sequel coming out so soon? I feel like I am being spoiled. Not like I am going to complain.

Capitalism was good, that is a fact, it gave the opportunity fo non-royals to get some wealth, giving more power to those who in before that, would be as poor as any other under feudalism.
The problem is that was the first step of equal wealth for all, and we are stuck in there. Adam Smith may not considered the whole picture or it was the plan all this time. We need to progress, as is more human nature to progress than being greedy and selfish.
But have thou considered ✨Venezuela?✨
"Socialism gave people a higher standard of living than capitalism, *given equal levels of economic development*." In my mind, that was a flaw in the argument that was never clarified. Capitalists usually argue that under capitalism economic growth is bigger, so they'll experience higher economic development than if they had adopted socialism, therefore comparing equal levels of economic development is a flawed comparison.
A more fair comparison would be to find out how much more developed a capitalist economy must be to achieve the same level of living standards as a socialist economy. With that you could show that even if you were to assume that under capitalism economic growth is bigger than in socialism, the disparity in standards of living is much greater. As Marx said, "There must be something rotten in the very core of a social system which increases its wealth without diminishing its misery".
I'm going to read the study and watch your other video on this topic, where this issue might already be addressed. I'll post something here if i find anything.
EDIT: I read the article and saw the video, sadly this issue is never addressed.
Watch the PraxBen video debunking this. Also /r/badeconomics did a whole thread on it too. This video and “study” are bogus.
@@ExPwner PraxBen's video fails to debunk any of this. He never addresses most of statistics presented on the paper, instead he points out that the authors of the paper aren't economists without specifying how that affects the paper in any way. He loosely implies that they failed categorize countries economies as "capitalist" or "socialist" and the few examples he does give, as far as I can tell, are wrong. He also goes in a tangent about how the soviet union bought their first trucks from the US, as if it was remotely relevant to the study.
Finally, he references a bunch of papers and says they support his argument without ever actually presenting what they say. I might give the papers a read but I'm not impressed so far.
I'll check the reddit thread though.
@@3snoW_ false. He did debunk it because they failed to accurately categorize capitalist and socialist countries, they put high performing capitalist counties into a category beyond comparison, and they put low performing socialist countries also out of the comparison all of which he points out in the video.
@@ExPwner Quoting the paper: "The designation of each country's political-economic system as capitalist or socialist corresponded to the United
Nations' classification of countries as market economies or as
centrally planned economies." They used the UN classification, and they are explicit on it, how are they mislabeling countries?
They also justify why there's a separate category for the low performing socialist countries. It's not because they are low performing, it's because they transitioned to socialism recently so "the impact of change in political-economic system could not be fully realized within such a
brief period of time." This to me is a fair point, and when you consider that a lot of these countries had a violent civil war prior to the transition, it mainly reflects how war has a negative impact on the quality of life of the people.
So called capitalists don't like to point to the tons of capitalist countries like the Philippines and Thailand (or many in the third world) who are more destitute than the US and western Europe. They construct the mythology with only the US and western Europe as the implied example, but the US and western Europe got/gets much of their capital accumulation from siphoning it out of the third world.

@@aguitarcalledchutzpah But what if the CEO earned it?
12:50 A common problem I see on all socialist utopias with worker coops is that not all workers are created the same. Everything is framed as CEO vs labor, which tbf right now it is, but there are different classes within workers too that you'll need to resolve without vague handwaving.
For instance, if a software engineering company needs a few warehouse hands to install hardware, do the warehouse hands have equal say in the company as the engineers? Their salary is different because the work is more valuable and less replaceable (granted, that is probably a capitalist mindset but I don't know how else to illustrate the difference). Surely if one's work is more necessary to the company, you have a greater say, a larger vote share, and larger profit sharing right?
Especially in the case of profit sharing, it can get really expensive to fire people who simply aren't being productive because most partnerships require something like a two-year payout of partner shares in order to remove them as partners. If everyone is a partner, a single unproductive person can weigh everyone else down and be financially infeasible to remove.
You're right, that's capitalist bourgeois mindset.
@@strega1380 The part about valuing less replaceable labor was the mindset part. The fact that some labor is more important than others is a fact of life; there are different classes _within the labor class,_ and there's zero commentary on it in both this and Vaush's content.

Congratulations Hakim, I am proud.
The claim that a computer could calculate a whole economy is completely unfounded. I'm an engineer and part of my education covered industrial engineering courses aka managing the economy/line balancing and quality systems of the factory. The way companies do this today is that you hire a team of industrial/business engineers and leave them full time to work this stuff out. The technology to actually automate this stuff isn't there.
It'd be way cheaper to just set up a computer to automate this stuff, management would absolutely love being able to fire the team balancing the production but we're just not there yet, this stuff is fantasy. The closest we have today is probably systems like CASAT, which while well under way to getting there is still decades away from fully automating even one factory. An entire economy is just unthinkable compared to where we are today.
edit: I've written more thoughts as I watch through this video as response to my comment.
Comment 1: Another comment, you claim that capitalist systems simply cannot handle climate change something direclty proven wrong by the Montreal Protocol that succesfully tackled the freon issue. It requires strong regulation but capitalism can, and has already done so in the past deal with environmental challenges.
Comment 2: You're making a claim that under capitalism workers in a corporation has no say in how it's run and no input on the organisation. This is also false. There's a modern trend towards a production system called "Six Sigma". The core of six sigma is just that, you improve the organisation by involving your workers, giving them an input on how everything is going and how it can be improved. In the west we're not that good at this yet but we're learning from Japan and trying to incorporate this stuff, change towards a more floor heavy input driven organisation is already in place in Japan, and developing in the west.
Comment 3: You're claiming that only a planned economy can be rationally managed but ignoring the rationalisation movements in Industry. You should look up Taylorism/scientific management and the rationalisation effords in the second industrial revolution if you want to understand how industry and economies today are managed scientifically.
@@Peanutcat ok sure, but if people had the say over the issue and not companies don’t you think the problem would’ve been solved faster?
@@Peanutcat by definition it is true that workers have no say in capitalism as the capitalist owns that means of production, they don’t have to follow any workers inputs if they don’t want to bc they own the means of production and until they do they won’t have any real say over the situations you put them in. Until workers completely own the means of production there is no democracy, there is just a megaphone in front of you and a knife behind your back.
@@hybridxg2204 Just because people have a voice in something doesn't mean that you'll land on a good solution. Take Brexit, it was the great democratic will of the people and now they're facing local food shortages as their will is being carried out. You don't want majority consenseus on complicated things that take 5 years to learn, you want the technical experts to make those choices. It's entirely possible that things can/could've panned out faster but it's also possible that things could've gone very wrong instead, one thing being bad doesn't make the other good.
You're simplifying the problem a bit too much, you can't just say that by definition X therefore X because the definition can be wrong. The reason for the trend towards Six Sigma is that those corporations are simply outcompeting the others, if you're a capitalist and decide that you're going to make do without and not implement floor feedback you'll go bankrupt as the other system is simply better. It takes ages, there will be the odd outliers that survive for a while but the end result will still be there.
The best reply to “but socialism/communism doesn’t work and is doomed to failure!!!” is the question “Really? Then why does america work so hard to destroy socialist and communist countries? Why not just leave them alone? What is so threatening about the working class coming together in some far corner of the world?”

Hey so apparently the Brit made another video, and he said commenting all these terms helps no more than making any other comment.
Hey, could you do a video on China in the future? I feel like you've touched on it before, but never in any depth. There are lots of contradictions in Chinese policies that pushes me to believe that it's no longer socialist and hasn't been since about 1978 when Deng Xiaoping rolled back the Iron Rice Bowl and other great policies of the cultural revolution. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
@L thanks! Looking it up
in fact,no longer when hua guofeng backed by deng xiaopin steal the power by overthrow the four gang after Mao died immediately. the time is 1976.10, mao died in 1976.9.9
Oh yeah China has long been an authoritarian capitalist country as opposed to a socialist or communist country despite their leading part being the called the Chinese Communist Party
i would like 1000 hakims to exist at least
Have you noticed that Anarchists and Marxists have differing definitions of a "state"? Most Anarchist structures for distribution of power fall neatly into the Marxists' definition.
Tbf the representative democracy is fine as long as the people have the power to get rid of the representation immediately when they want.
@@hybridxg2204 well that don't work either tho
I think like Hakim said, there is need for discipline from our working class revolution. We as communists or socialists will never achieve anything without an organized and disciplined movement. Sorry, instant gratification and convenience are not things a revolution of thought or economy or politics will produce. Struggle is the name of the game, and I trust that powerful individuals will continue to seek their own financial benefit in the form of capitalism relentlessly under a socialist, prole rule. If we get too comfortable with the way things are, things tend to get worse. I trust that even once, we reach socialism, the struggle will not be over, and that is what it means to be dialectical.
Isn't socialism anti-freedom?
@@DanNorton1 No.

The information here is not necessarily true. Your scope is wrong regarding the devices here. It’s a small aside, as we do have the computing power, but even small economies are way too much for a modern smartphone. You’d need some cloud computing. Again, small aside, but we would need cloud computing centers (or supercomputers, but cloud computing would actually be better for this case) to plan economies, regardless of scale.
Supercomputers doesn't debunk the ecp
@@tompatherookiecrusher885 How about 2 supercomputers? How about 3 supercomputers? How about
@@strega1380 nope and nope

With regards to economic planning, I’d be curious to see comparisons between bottom-up economic planning and top-down economic planning

Dude,can you make a video to analyze the system of China and its relation with America ?
"Unless the system is ended, there will be irreversible changes to the environment that will make life as we know it something of the past"
This is ALREADY happening. We are currently undergoing a massive biodiversity loss and global warming. Ted Reese in his "Socialism or Extinction" lays out just how fucked the environment already is because of capitalism. (i would highly recommend reading this book)
I mean sure but it's happening to global south non-people

7:45 Just think about how much computation power is wasted on completely useless math problems to mine Kretencurrenies (cryptocurrency). There is capacity mine Kretencurrenies, but there is no capacity to calculate economic plans. Funny how that works.
This will be my excuse for not job hunting today-
I wouldn't wait for socialism to kick in if I where you,..lol
@@stehfreejesseah7893 In planned socialism, you gotta work in exchange for your basic and luxury needs. Though ofc you will work 10-15 hours a week, maximum employment, and chill if the need of labour decreases in your country lol. This is what I call "heavenly gaming spree".
@@primeroyal7434 Totally true. Imagine the sheer number of hours spent just to provide insane profits to the rich. Imagine not working for rich vampires anymore. We can either use the extra time for leisure, personal projects, or work more efficiently on meaningful jobs. No one can refuse that.
@@Simboiss That's why I call overworking and profits "theft". Many studies show that only 45-55% of our work-time is productive, something that we can further drive down with automation. And over two-thirds of our labour value is stolen by tax and profits. Why steal our free time and money bruh?
@@primeroyal7434 I think it's more to the tune of 1:20, because of the banking system, the debt service and whatnot. But I usually play it safe and stay conservative at 1:10. This means a work week of 4 hours. It's insane. You can be even more conservative and set it to a "generous" 10 hours a week. It's still a bargain.
Imagine, you could work one 10-hour day in the week, and get 6 days of time off. Or you could opt for 2 days of 5 hours, with 5 days off.
Oh lord I’m tryna study for my finals but I guess finals MB gonna have to wait for this Comrade Hakim video to end baby
No wage slavery, for starters.
I swear to god you socialist advocates are just a bunch of npcs, don't get off your incompetent ass and make something of your life, just put a noun in front of a word and never stop crying about it.
@calgory6929 wanting my country to benefit from my work instead of wealthy men who do nothing is lazy?
@lemon8944 wealthy men who do nothing predominantly benefit from capitalism. Most people are just paid enough so they can continue existing, working and generating wealth for said wealthy men.
We need to move beyond prioritising the accumulation of wealth. We're capable of so much more, and better.

Thanks for putting out such accessible and well researched content, there aren't many making the type of content that can bring new people into our movement. This stuff's great for sending to curious friends and family, thanks again
