France leads the way. Vive la France!
Vive la France, vive le Wolff!
France had to major issue remaining, fist an election in 2 rows who can be used to manipulate people (and it happened just now again) with an alliance against the leading one. And the EU who rules everything.
Unless they challenge capitalism then their election victory is phyrric in nature and the right can always mount a comeback
France may have freed themselves, but they did not free their colonized people.
In this guys dreams. He glosses over France's terrible problems because he is a believer in socialism.
Love this mans insight and wisdom
Thank you Professor. Best class ever, every time. Much love and hugs from Alabama where the truth is desperately needed
An apologist for communism and all the blood it spilled.. may he rot
Professor Wolfe has been talking about this election for a while. He understood what was going on better than mainstream reporting. Even now, as he says, the reporting is not telling the whole story! It is good to get his perspective!
It seems to me America could benefit from a political coalition like that.
They certainly would benefit from it.
But I don't see it happen.

Why? I would guess peer pressure generated by the Establishment media.
What is your idea about the reason for the failure to unite in order to save ourselves?
If only we had a multi party election system.
And a constitution!
if you had, you would not see/feel a difference
@@ralf2528 Oh, really? Do tell.
@@vivalaleta yes really. i told.
@@ralf2528 No, child. You made a claim and did nada to back it up with facts. It's dog poop.
🇫🇮❤you for presenting us with the truth.
JILL STEIN: "WE MUST CONSCIENTIOUSLY DISMANTLE THE EMPIRE AND REDIRECT RESOURCES TO DOMESTIC NEEDS."
LET'S SERIOUSLY SUPPORT JILL STEIN!!!
Kennedy is much more prepared to actually act upon this, which is more his platform than Stein's. Kennedy can WIN. I hope that somewhere in September Stein will endorse Kennedy. Yes even with his Isr stances he's still by far the best candidate of those that have any chance of actually winning.
Marianne Williamson 2024 is the best candidate for our nation! I’ve been researching all of the candidates websites and informing myself and will still be voting for my candidate this November!! We must DEMAND Open primaries in August!! ✌️❤️
Much love from France. We still have a lot of wprks head of us. To reconnect with the working class that voted for the right wing party, and prepare for the counter attack from the bourgeoisie as we've already seen in the past they don't let their dominance to slip away so easily. But it's a first step in the right direction.
Thanks to you prof. 👍
Dear Prof. Wolff, I am French, I admire your work and determination and hope you will continue to enlighten us with your channel for a long time. Le Pen is far right and has been elected as the first political force of the House of Representatives since its number of representatives is due merely to her party and the Left Alliance has the greater number of representatives but as you explained it is composed of 4 parties which established a common program for governing. I want to believe they will succeed in maintaining the alliance because the people need it to fight back at surging capitalism crisis but it remains uncertain as some representatives have previously been Secretary of State or President even, Hollande who have common views with Macron party...
what makes you think that this leftist alliance will do any better, or are not as corrupt as all others? it cannot be life experience. you seem to live on fantasy island where left is good and right is bad. you obviously did not leran very much. in france the political leadership, over the past decades, was not always from the same one party, right? look at the result. did ever something change for the better of the general population? if your answer is yes, you need stronger medication. these systems, idiots call it demoracy, are designed to preserve power for a certain group of people. and while people like you discuss let/right, socialism/kapitalism and all the other nonsense, these people p*ss themselves laughing. criminals/fascists took over politics long time ago. they are organized in governments, agencies, media and so on. they had time enough, and of course the resources, to build a huge network. you definitely have o clue how the system works. it is not complicated, becase most humans just do not have the cognitive capabilities required. these criminals have only a tiny little advantage. they know a little more than you, and use that knowledge to manipulate you, so that you think there is a left, good, there is a right, bad and so on. et voilà your day has a structure and an enemy. all yo need for your simplistic world view....grow up
Yes, professor often portrays European countries and situations more rosy, or shall I say red, than they are, probably in attempt to wake up the Americans.
@@ljubog I know, I just wanted to add a little precision for enhancing comprehension. I wish a French economics prof. would do the same kind of enlightening work as Prof. Wolff, and even coordinated work since Europe is under the US' influence ;)
I hope you're right about the US. However , with our very undemocratic electoral system unless the masses take to the streets I'm very skeptical.
I'll second that, and i will add that the common people of the U.S. need to re- invent the guilliotine.
Take to the streets before it's too late for Americans. Your country is being a lackey to a foreign state who cared nothing about your interests.
Richard, I am your newest fan. Thrilled that I have discovered you.
Socialism - related to society and its organization. Capitalism - related to money and its organization.
Generally everything socialism touches turns to shit so good luck.
Let's hope the following days become better even slightly
We need more people like you! Excellent video!
I loves me some Richard Wolff!!!…
Thank you Dr. Wolff, when will your book be published?
Great content like always, keep it upp
Unfortunately, likewise, people have also been hailing the death of capitalism for 100 years. Hoping your optimism isnt unfounded and France leads the way
Completely agree with you about mainstream media. No longer watch it. Glad to have you and your videos for me to learn the truth of what's happening in the world. Keep up the good work. I do subscribe.
An old proverb- “If a man stands in the middle of a road, he inevitably gets hit by trucks traveling in both directions!”
Thank you for your input professor! We need marxist perspective at the world events - especially now
Thanks again, Professor Wolfe! ❤
The political choice is "between Socialism or Barbarism"-Rosa Luxemburg -
Merci beaucoup Richard
Thank you Prof. Vive la France!
Love your insights Mr Wolff ❤
In the US we have DSA, PSL, Several communist parties, Greens, the working class party, justice democrats...there is defintly potential to do something similar here.
The left won more seats but didnt receive more votes then the right. RN had 37.1% of the vote while the left, which had to form a coalition as you mentioned, won only 26.3% of the vote. Given some time, many of the ENS supporters will go right. Expect the next election to go right
Thank you from Australia
Thanks for the clarification!
You're the best Wolff 🤜🤛
Marianne Williamson For President 2024!!
✌️❤️🇺🇸
Prof. Wolfe, PLEASE INTERVIEW JILL STEIN! ❤
Great shirt.
Excellent lesson
What a beautiful reading of the most momentous socio-political development in France that heralds an unstoppable transition to a better future for mankind!
Thanks!
Always great analysis
I'll believe the French when they quit their colonies.
ABOUT TIME.
i hope that the same election results will happen in the United States.
What with, Trump? You're kidding yourselves. 🇦🇺
I believe that many Americans would do as you say and vote for something closer to socialism. The way I see it is that the barrier is the American two-party system. Dem party connivance ousted Bernie Sanders.
Mr.Wolff is right. We here in Germany have a new party on the left, the BSW. They had many voters. What is important is that parties that are against the war in Ukraine succeed. People here don't want the war. The old Linke party was not against it and lost. These subject is never mentioned in msm.
Please VOTE JILL STEIN!!!

为人师表！ Prof. Wolff 我支持你！
Great as usual..
Surprisingly, you don’t see much report on the winning parties of French elections in China either, but I did see the report they sang the International
Thanks to your work prof. Wolff it's so inspiring to all of us how knowing what is real socialism and most important what kind of benefits can bring to all humanity. One more time huge Thanks for your straggling against octopus call capitalism. USA-SERBIAN guy
Viva la revolution
Obrigada, desde o Brasil.
Why did you call Sunak a centrist? He's not remotely centrist, he's very right wing.
No European country has a real military now
*1 of 2. This is how you always need to vote:*
We must fully resist and _always vote_ *against* (& less authoritarian than) both the Republican *and* Democratic Parties- including AOC, all of the squad, Bernie Sanders, Edward Markey, Mark Pocan, the justice democrats, Biden & all other democrats. Vote in every single election- at all levels. And also _endorse or anti-endorse,_ in all elections you can, for outside your voting jurisdiction.
For _all_ public positions. And this same strategy applies against the same one or more party-monopolies in _all_ countries worldwide.
Real progressives will never be Democratic Members or Democratic loyalists. Never vote for _any_ Republican member or loyalist either.
If no candidates for a position fit that bill:
-Where _write-ins_ are permissible, always write-in an anti-authoritarian person;
-Where write-ins aren’t permissible, always vote uncommitted or leave the ballot blank.
This will continuously reduce the power of _all_ authoritarian parties in the party monopolies. Until our task is complete.
Repeat strategy for all new authoritarian parties that emerge.

Libertarian socialists once again showing an affinity for working with libertarian capitalists. Stop piggy-backing off the work of Marxist thinkers to promote an ideology that will ruin this movement. We need organization, not decentralization.
Dr. Wolff, why don't you mention the names of the Left and Libertarian parties and leaders. It would be valuable for your followers to hear the names of Jill Stein, Claudia de la Cruz, Cornel West, Oliver West. RFKjr is, in my opinion, establishment.
FRATERNITY EQUALITY LIBERTY
I thought the Prof would be looking much happier this morning. I thought he might be dancing on the table. Good rundown on MSM BS thou.
Biden- “Nothing will fundamentally change!”
I think many of us are relieved with this outcome in France. But, I find it disturbing how much support is shown here for China and Russia.
What do you have against China And Russia? Maybe stop following msm.
Because right now they are in the right side of history. They don't sanction and attack people around.
@@SamanthaBendut Welcome to RUclips! It’s always good to see new users. “They don’t sanction and attack people around”? Really? What did Russia do in Chechnya? Georgia? And now in Ukraine? What do you call that? What do you think China has been up to? They are constantly threatening to invade Taiwan, they sanction anyone of their own citizens who speak out against repression and the CCP. Have you ever heard of Tibet, Hong Kong, or Xinjiang? Why did so many protest leaders get sent to jail?
I think the first to do political is mexico with amlo. he is a friend of Mr melenchon

I made a monthly contribution last,week and did not receive confirmation. It was not through
Patreon but the other route. I know how to ask you about this other than as a comment here.
Also, the Labour Party won in Britain!
But unfortunately in a two party system you had the choice between left and lefter so you’ll get more of the same thing except with more wokery and nauseating degrees of virtue signalling!!
Vote for Jill Stein for president of the United States. Don't falsely report things. Trump is no different. Not for us. Dual citizenship is the problem.
Capital accumulation is the capital/labor relation in society.
The question is does labor accumulate capital for itself to spend as a general majority or do the employers as a specific minority keep the right to claim ownership of the economic surplus this capital/labor relation produces. After all, the economic surplus only comes from the combination of both capital and labor and from nowhere else can GNP be produced. Out of all the relations between groups, institutions, social classes, only the capital/labor relation is productive of an economic surplus. Wall Street does not accumulate capital if the labor-process is not producing surplus-value. Its that duck simple, that’s it. Inexorable laws put that objective into motion. The labor-process becomes a source for the accumulation of capital. This phenomenon occurs on the level of the human world and nature and inside every particular workshop, factory and place, all concrete productive work becomes a source for the accumulation of capital. Never can labor work for itself. Question here is to what degree is labor disabled, barred, from its own economic surplus?
Capital is accumulated from the elements of production themselves. It should be an eye-opening experience to know that every time a commercial truck driver barrels through your town in a semi someone else accumulates the capital the truck driver produces as an activity of exchange. The man does not drive unless there is something to deliver becomes the reason a man drives as an occupation. The method of survival of capitalism is premised on two expenditures. One of work time and the other, time is money. The social basis of work of making money out of time, or turning time into money through an expenditure of human energy, brains, muscle and bone that humanity suffers from the inadequacies of making work congenial, safe, and challenging as a useful activity. Rather, work as a means of accumulating capital is scrutinized and tested. Often by a regimen that has nothing at all to do with the particular process of work at hand. Often workers are scrutinized on the basis of a particular standard of duration of work. Accumulating money from work is a quantifiable thing to do as it shows up with more money in the bank, stands to reason, work is a quantifiable thing for the same people doing the accumulating, This is why capitalism treats work compensation as various expenditures of hours, months and years for that is the definition of what it means to be a productive member of a capitalist society.

Of course you left out the Vendee uprising in your tribe committed the first known genocide in history.
China is, by far, the most successful socialist country in history. It's known as "socialism with Chinese characteristics."
America could take a page from China's playbook.
Since the french revolution war never ended among parties remember Charles de Gaulle by the support of American and European capitalism defeated Hitler the socialist. Chinese regulated socialism matter
It's no surprise that socialism will never die because the thought of getting something for free will always be attractive to humans.
@@felixvelo For free?
Like they do in Wall Street with speculation?
the thought of being free will always be attractive for humans*

😂 someone hasn’t done their homework. lmao how did you get the courage to comment with such an uneducated understanding 😂
on the other hand my pet leopard is pleased to do a fair days work protecting me in return for free food and comfortable home. She enjoys the action.
