Yeah, this is great! I do have a relatively comfortable overview of history, but there are apparently so many connections that I am missing. The more you learn...
5:04 Liberty Leading the Revolution is actually from the July Revolution of 1830 and 5:06 Lamartine, before the Hôtel de Ville, Paris, rejects the Red Flag is from the Revolution of 1848.
Me too.And more about the success communism socialism brought to North Korea,USSR,Romania,USSR,and Venezuela.Or well...they woulda been sucessful if not for those evil bourgeois European countries and their capitalism.
Umm, at about 3:55 their was mention of taxation to pay for the "seven years war" but no mention of the "French Indian war " that was instigated by American/English colonist invading French Canada killing natives and taking their shit . As I understood It when the French Army responded and put foot to colonial ass The British forces responded to protect said ass at no small expense . Then when the Crown levied taxes to pay for said war that the colonist started , all of a sudden it was "No taxation without representation" which lead to the Revolutionary war , that took French intervention to win. could anyone clarify ?
Okay this is a late response but it's specifically this vid that inspires it, so here's hoping you get to read it! I'd be interested in a more in-depth look at the ideas of 'left' and 'right'. The distinction seems to be getting muddy, and an increasing number of people are seriously wondering if they aren't a part of this whole thing. But those wondering (I'll lightly include myself, though I feel pretty leftist when I hear some quarters of the right) may not have the background and perspective to really say; we may just be dissected from modern politics. Knowing more about these labels, their history and whatever ideas are attached to them, could help clarify what actually is the problem we're reacting to. Thanks for the fantastic, important glimpses in to so many great topics!
They did a poor job in school with this. Now i've a bunch of learning about Napoleon do to because Step Back just crushed the old glory narrative they teach us in the US. I didn't have any idea Napoleon was against monarchy and pro freedom, thanks education system.
More than just the "merchant class," I want more information on how the limited liability business entity (Ltd., Corp., LLC) has come to its current position. Obviously by the way I ask the question, I have a bias about the subject and I need more objective information. Money goes where it is treated best, regardless of king or country.
You asked at the end if could experience a revolution like this. I believe it can with people who are dedicated to causes for their fellow man. The internet connects people. Movements are forming to bring people together. Action is what topples monarchies and oligarchies. The internet breeds action. However, it is up to the people to take the responsibility. A house divided will surely fall. And we are all under the same roof....
Of sorts. The French would have these meetings once in a blue moon with the three estates. The first being the aristocracy, the second the clergy, and the third literally everyone else. I am not sure how they were picked, but the french revolution began when talks at one of these broke down.
Thanks :) Maybe this is an interesting topic to break down further, in a different video? Explain how the deifinitions of left/right have changed (drastically) over the time. And how other qualifying words (like conservative vs liberal and progressive, etc.) were used. Might be a bit too political science-y, but still.. there is an overlap, and... I assume it might be somewhat within your range of interests?
so philosophers like Locke had nothing to do with the development of liberal ideas , its just class warfare and the ambition of the bourgeoisie to replace feudal aristocrats ..... that is a very honest and totally non-ideological way to present and teach history if you ask me
I am not saying they don't have a role. I mentioned Thomas Paine. I just went with a historical materialist type of approach which would say that people like Locke are a consequence of the changing economic realities rather than a driver of it.
Step Back History "historical materialist" is an ideological approach . and- according to the famous science philosopher Karl Popper- not a very accurate or scientific approach. you are free to preach what ever you want , just give a "heads up" when you are moving away from facts into Ideology
Step Back History BTW Locke died in 1704 (yeah i checked wiki on that date) he laid down the foundations on liberalism way before the industrial revolution was a real "revolution" how would a Marxist explain that ? i wonder
Just because you are scared of threats to your fragile ideology doesn't mean I need to abandon use of completely usable theories to describe the past. I am not even close to the only historian who has, and not even uncommon.
And to think that the 1960s the time of student demos and the long mach though the institutions was supposed to be about freedom love and peace and to replace the bourgeoisie seems to me to have been a huge mistake
The birds work for the bourgeoisie
I love how 99.99% of the comments are: “the birds work for the bourgeoisie”
the birds work for the bourgeoisie
theyre all robots.
@@StepBackHistory no theyre birds who were tortured and enslaved
The 1st chapter of the Communist Manifesto makes a lot more sense now.
Thank you.
it continues!
+The Cynical Historian 4 more weeks!
good
The birds there whispering
Finally found a good moment to watch this one! I've learned a lot and many things are falling into place.
glad you liked it. I hope the next installment from me next week also satisfies.
Yeah, this is great! I do have a relatively comfortable overview of history, but there are apparently so many connections that I am missing. The more you learn...
The "birds" will get this video taken down
Excellent video! Thanks StepBack :D
Glad you had a good time
Hey mate, new subscriber here, I must say very well done, wish you the best, cheers from Bogotá!
Happy to have you. Hope I entertain :)
Thanks, keep up the good work! if you ever need any help in Latin American or Spanish History, more than glad to help, cheers!

Well, thats a screwup :P sorry.
Would love more on the bourgeois revolutions in South America!
Me too.And more about the success communism socialism brought to North Korea,USSR,Romania,USSR,and Venezuela.Or well...they woulda been sucessful if not for those evil bourgeois European countries and their capitalism.
This is amazing, comrade.

The French and Indian war and the seven years war are the same war. The French and Indian war is just the American name for it.

What are the three intentions of the revolutionary Bourgoeise? Please help me about this. Thank you
They all had 1 intention. To get to the birds to work for them 🐦 🐦
0:51 What the hell kind of revolt-ception is this?
what was the asterisk on freedom of religion for?
freedom of religion in the US seems to only apply to hardcore sects of protestant Christians. At least in practice.
Step Back History was my guess, but I wanted to hear your explanation!
@@StepBackHistory
Not really.
@@StepBackHistory I mean catholics have a pretty hard stronghold.
I'm just like you I'm just like you're just like me you're just like me we both work for the bourgeoisie

I mean he was against monarchies... then became emperor so take from that what you will.
One of his lieutenants had 'death to monarchy' tattooed on his ass and was later made royalty. He didn't refuse.
The birds ARE the bourgeoisie
IF YOU DON'T MENTION KARL MARX DURING THE COMMUNIST REVOLUTION IM GONNA BE MAD! but good video -Omar
If you say his name three times in the mirror he shows up and combs your beard.
So are you mainly working from Eric Hobsbawm?
He's an alright source, but it isn't too different from most (M WORD) interpretations of this period of history.

Pieces not connected.... I guess.... But the internet does that pretty well I'd say. Lack of action if anything.
Not sure if I understood this completely.

now if Canada only followed the lead of US and France...
gfy
5:12 okay, interesting, but why were they called left-wing and right-wing in the first place?
It is based on where they would sit in the estates general
Basically, the parlement, right?
Of sorts. The French would have these meetings once in a blue moon with the three estates. The first being the aristocracy, the second the clergy, and the third literally everyone else. I am not sure how they were picked, but the french revolution began when talks at one of these broke down.

thought left/right came from the English parliament with the leftists side sitting at the left side, ad the rightists at the right site.

how would a Marxist explain that ? i wonder
It'sd cultural theory, any historian who takes themselves seriously after like 1992 has to engage with it.
Just because you are scared of threats to your fragile ideology doesn't mean I need to abandon use of completely usable theories to describe the past. I am not even close to the only historian who has, and not even uncommon.
