LYRICS
Listened to those leaders so intently
Those Che Guevara shirts all seemed so trendy
Thought that things would be so good and friendly
So why'm I eating my neighbor's dog Benji?
Twenty million killed, sure, that's stuff I don't like
But I could stay on Momma's plan for the rest of my life
A guaranteed job digging ditches? Well what's not to like?
It's failed miserably each time so trying again seemed wise
Now I'm looting, looting, looting, looting
Grabbing wieners like I'm Kevin Spacey
Told a crowd "we need free markets instead"
Now my neck is no longer attached to my head
They promised things would all be better now, better now
If pure equality was finally found, finally found
Now we're all grocery shopping at the pound, at the pound
Said that we'd have everything
Now we don't have anything
Whoa…
How much plasma are they gonna take?
Before I finally have enough to trade?
For toilet paper or a rodent steak?
I keep on looking back on better days
They promised things would all be better now, better now
If free expression it was not allowed, not allowed
But I just caught my Roomba texting Mao
Said that we'd have everything
Now we don't have anything
They promised things would all be better now, better now
If men with guns took farmers' land and plow, land and plow
Now it's another night of Rat Kung Pao, Rat Kung Pao
Said that we'd have everything
Now we don't have anything
They promised things would all be better now, better now
If we just nationalized oil in the ground, in the ground
Now somehow gasoline can not be found, not be found
Said that we'd have everything
Now we don't have anything
Remy is national treasure.

@@franknuzzo2576 Wow! Amazing. You probably thought that was terrible clever.
Ever heard of the 2nd amendment and a decentralized heavily armed citizen defense?
Is it conservatives who want to disarm people, like so many tyrants around The World, who prefer serfs over citizens?
@@cbboegh No. It's Conservatives that support the IRS in forcefully taking money from people to give to the government which ignores the Constitution anyway.

Remy's videos > Daily Show & SNL
The shutdown Deal or No deal sketch was pretty funny tho
Jon Stewart was pretty funny most of the time and was at least willing to roast politicians from both parties. He even did a (mostly) balanced interview of Ron Paul. Trevor Noah, on the other hand, is a full blown SJW identity politics race-baiter.
SNL used to be hit or miss, but I haven't watched it in ages, so I really can't say what they're like nowadays. I've heard they've gone down hill in the past 10 years. In any case, I'm sure they can't even begin to compare with Remy and Andew Heaton.
Wish I could double-like that!
100% correct, there is no comparison between Remy and those douche bag childish propagandists

1:06 this man predicted The Great Toilet Paper Famine of 2020
Notice that there's a square missing from his sign after that. Subtly hilarious
Not so surprising, they will lack everything eventually. Stand for capitalism!
Venuzuala was famous for toilet paper shortages before covid
Hate to break it to you, but that was just the beginning. Here toilet paper is still at 10 Euros a package and rising - I fear it's gonna get as bad as in Remy's song.
“But, but, that’s not real socialism!”.
Oh but, child. This IS real socialism.
@madwtube Generation Z is pretty conservative actually.
@madwtube The children of "millennials" are tired of all the preachy shit and stupid ass food fads being shoved down their throats. They love Big Macs and will take up regular cigarette smoking again. Michael J. Fox is going to play the grandfather in a new TV show about "generation z" being annoyed by their pompous, vain "progressive" parents.
@madwtube Eight in ten polled Gen Zer considers themselves fiscally conservative. Teen pregnancy and drug use is down considerably. Rates of weekly church attendance and high school graduation are way up. They even have a less favorable view of tattoos and body piercings than prior generations. It may seem like they are liberal now, but people at that age are usually more liberal they tend to shift to the right as they get older. And by some studies Generation Z at their age is the most conservative generation since the Silent Generation. The only real measures that people use to say it is liberal anyway is that they are diverse and that they support same sex marriage and marijuana legalization, but those are libertarian positions too.
But socialism is implemented. For example the police and the highways. Could you afford your own cop? Your own soldiers? The rail system was made with subsidies and we still subsidize farmers. All that is socialism. You probably meant communism as that is what people say hasn't been "really implemented." Socialism =/= communism. Socialism has been around for a while and has been used to varying degrees by the U.S.
@@AnalyticalReckoner There is no libertarian support for subsidizing highways, railroads, or farms.
Socialism, communism, mercantilism, and fascism all come from the same collectivist garbage. We don't really care what the difference is.
1:24 "if men with guns took farmers land and plow" this is what happens to a disarmed populace. And this why *Shall not be infringed* means so much
Men with guns ARE taking farmers land and plows.....in South Africa, and generally speaking those men aren't farmers. You can guess how well that's going to go.
@Santiago Bron Maybe there were more government guys with guns then there were rebels with guns?
@@mikesiver1950 yeah that whole country is going to shit. There is pretty much no part of their history post colonialism that has been good
@Santiago Bron false equivalency. You cant put America in the same grouping as other nations as we were founded on a different standard of freedom and morals
@@mikesiver1950 and the rebels had been suppressed to by the other regimes to the point that didnt have the equipment or means to properly resist. And they had different opinions on freedom than the US does
I'm a Gen Z libertarian and i'm spreading to good word. I think there's still hope guys
Carl . . . You HAVE TO still have Hope at your age. Otherwise, you'd commit suicide.
Keep the faith. Always have Hope.
Fight the good fight! ^5
We are with you!
I'm a conservative. We conservatives and libertarians have to fight together to stop the rise of socialism in America.

"sellin' hopes like sellin' soap, son I'll tell you why, you can't make either one without a little bit of lye"
"we're all grocery shopping at the pound"
ouch... >_
Well... That wasn't real socialism...
I just love this "argument"
Well what exactly do you mean?
The problem with looking at the history of leftwing governments is that the only ones that survived were the ones that restricted people's freedom enough that the CIA couldn't assassinate. Maybe the US didn't stomp out any "pinkos" we would have actual same leftists, and not just Stalinists, Maoists and the rest.
When any south American country elected a leader that promised to make American Companies have a fair deal, the CIA staged a coup. Since 1898, the US has been overthrowing any government that would not give them favorable trade deals.
In Colombia, the Government had an agreement that in exchange for putting down a railroad, the company would have land grants. However, when the land became unfarmible due to disease, they burned down the plantation, left the railroad. The Colombians thought that because the railroads were not maintained, that the company was not holding up their end of the bargain, and they would like their land back.
United Fruit Company disagreed and asked for US aid. They got it, and the government was overthrown.
Another amazing song Remy, big fan since McDonalds rap.

That's the thing about socialism, it always ends up the same.
And for that matter, so does mass migration. Ask the Native North Americans how that went for them.
“You will have nothing and be happy”

"Capitalism is force"
"Take their stuff"

Pretty much
@@SCP-Dr_Bright Fuck those people
Wish more people understood that having elected officials or self-appointed officials and bureaucrats deciding who gets what and implementing more and more unfair unneeded regulations is not going to end well for the people.
Lawrence Miller Except for banning the abuse of antibiotics on livestock. If I have to buy a more modern and expensive antibiotic because of the idiots that stuffed their animals with the old, cheap antibiotics and so bacteria became resistent to those old antibiotics, basically those who stuff their animals with antibiotics have poisoned me.
a b I agree. Unfortunately it is just slightly discouraged by the FDA.
Sean Hartnett Are you sure?
a b yes, the policy change is a statement saying farmers should voluntarily cut antibiotic use. Notice voluntarily, there are no consequences for not doing so. Also notice cut, not eliminate.
Lawrence Miller basically you don’t care about consequences. And you would sing a different tune if you were poisoned by a large company.
Now is the turn of Colombia 🇨🇴, please pray for us 😭
Next time they will do it right
Those other times weren't real socialism. They got corrupted by bad actors. That's not something inherent to socialism though. Just cause it always happens.
@@wolfpack4128 yeah 😉

BuT tHaT's NoT rEaL sOcIaLiSm!
Haha, yeah, I don't know how much more "real" socialism can get. But the violence used to enforce it is very real, and that's all that matters.
No no it has never been socialism all American fault...
@xxyyzz I mean use your logic , didn't America nationalised Venezuelas oil,food ,steel and every other industries and businesses?
@@bspeers76 Karl Marx advocated for stateless, classless, moneyless society. Lennon took things in an authoritarian direction. Although the life of the average Russian did improve under Lenin, simply because the czars that replace them were so much worse.
However, my point is every time a true Marxist revolution takes foot in a third world country their leaders are usually killed by the CIA. Google Bolivia
Too much information for Normies to understand. Unfortunately, lessons can only be learned when the pain is truly felt when it happens to you! Words cannot explain it you have to live through it to understand it. Kind of like the great depression for our grandparents/great grandparents.
This is funny but just sad at the same time.
Ikr?! That's Remy's comedy. 🤭
Communist: capitalism sucks, it's so oppressive!
Also the same communist: * takes sip from Starbucks cup and listens to music on airpods *
When we're all worth nothing, think the same, we'll be equal. Of course, death equalizes us already using this reasoning.
"death equalizes us already"
Wouldn't it be funny if it didn't though?
Instead of reading animal farm they should make people in school watch this. XD
What really shocks me is how, after the evidence, some idiots still says that socialism works...
History repeats itself. Who thought that teaching people history would encourage them to repeat it.
Irony: Someone send this song to Kanye and let him play with it. It'll hit #1 on the charts before the kids finally realize what they're singing about and they begin protesting instead.
Complete fantasy land
"how much plasma are they going to take... until I finally have enough to trade.. for toilet paper or a rodent steak..." I was laughing so hard I was my nose was spraying my drink everywhere.
"what you have in venusuela is a socialist paradise!...(later)
what you had in venusuela wasn't technically socialism it was...uh...chavezism"
Remy knew that toilet paper would be a problem
This all seems so much closer to home now 2 years later.

There aint no such thing as a free lunch
"The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." Margaret Thatcher said it best.
@thoth81
Because somebody has to make the lunch - this isn't _Return to Oz_ (or is it?...)
Seriously though; automation is only just now approaching where the futurists said it would get to two generations ago. The only way a universal basic income is even conceivable today is because of a Fiat money system gone crazy the digital age.
HAYEK THERE AINT NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH
@thoth81 the idea of a UBI has been around for a few centuries. It was just called various things. It is more or less a way to deal with means tested welfare programs that keep people stuck in poverty. By all accounts the us could afford a Ubi we would just have to stop shrink the military budget and tax the wealthy 2% more
@thoth81 so we're suppose to wait around until we're at 40% unemployment with mass homelessness, for riots in the streets Before we implement it?
Or we could just do it now and watch the economy grow.
Fun fact fuel is still basicly for free in venezuela
Not that you could eat it.
You can eat it. One gallon contains enough calories to last you the rest of your life.
Well yes but no
Millions of liters of gas with ONE dollar, millions more with ONE euro
Kind of sad when you realize the consequences of this history. We can laugh about it now, but it might very well be on our doorstep.
Can we step up unified and defeat this sort of violence towards all man?
You don't understand how happy I am. America destroyed my country, and now half of America is socialist. I just want to say, you yankees deserve this. Hopefully I see you in a gulag ahahaha
Socialism: Celebrating over 100 years of "forced compassion."

@@another_loser6976 no, it has a lot of socialist stuff in it.

@@another_loser6976 yes, it has literally 14 pages and spends half of the 4th speaking about "the evils of capitalism".

May be the real equality was the friends we made along the way.

Another great video by Remy. This should be the Democrat 2020 anthem. Also thought you were very funny on Crowder. You need more platforms man. You have a podcast or anything?

@Jonathan Williams www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-52151951
Every system has inequality and poor people.
The question is which one has more equality and less poor.
Free market system is the best answer.
The answer is most things work better with free markets and a few things don't.
That we currently have. Free market should be the base of any system, but capitalism is likely not the ultimate dearination for mankind, its just the best we have got now
@@electrosquid8325
Free markets and capitalism are not the same thing.
Equality should not be the goal. Equity and Justice should be the goal.

it is on an iPhone because you cant play locally stored music on iOS without syncing the tracks via iTunes.

Just say "no" to Socialism kids.
@Hans It's ok. The human brain can keep learning basic economics & historical facts up until the day it's euthanized by socialized medical "care". So you still have a chance to catch up.
@Hans I say no to loser commies like you.
@Hans oh god it's you again. I'm ready to debunk more of your socialist bullshit.
@Hans how is a social democracy better exactly?

Low populations relative to income. Try again later bot
Remarkably for what's ostensibly a humorous parody, this song actually feels more tragic than the one it's based off of. Despite the witty lines, the song IS about people's hopes for a better future clashing with the nature of human greed. The somber melody really lends itself to the melancholic mood.
I actually get emotional when I think about how many millions of people died because their hopes for equality drove them to support socialist, Communist movements. China, USSR, Cuba, Vietnam, the list goes on. And then to see a modern generation fall for the exact same deception that led to these horrors absolutely breaks my heart.
Don't confuse hope with delusion
This is Remy's best song yet.
This is a banger
Don't ever stop making these.
20 million is an understatement
Wow! That toilet paper bit aged real good.
Kinda reminds me of Jean Ferrat's "le bilan" (could translate to "the end result" as well as "the bottom line", as it evokes the inanity of tallying millions of deaths against ideals).
Remy hits another one out of the park!
Still true today
Scared only 2 years now this is coming true.

As of today this is a very real and scary possibility. 29TRILLION in debt. That's more then the entire GDP of the country!!

This song makes me sad for those stuck under these types of regimes. Not those that chose this, but those that had no say in the matter.
Would be funny if it weren't so deadly serious. Good job though!
