loved your channel as I'm trying to understand Marxism as it's like I'm reading the Bible and constantly disagreeing as I read on
Brilliant video. We must put a stop to these fascists, render them irrelevant.
If you find yourself disagreeing with Marxism more and more, perhaps you should begin with something less intensive, like Howard Zinn
youre jewish, dont care what you say btw, you have obvious agenda
And I must add, if you feel an affinity for the ideas and subject matter of this video, then you don't disagree with Marxism as much as you may think.
"The socialists are in charge of the White House" is maybe the dumbest thing ever said in the history of humanity.
It’s one of the dumbest things ever said.
A guy in the comments here said if you want a Marxist revolution, start a business and pay everyone equally. So that’s a close second
Also, I wish
According to the American definition of “socialism,” they are correct - that definition being “anything I don’t like.”

I wish the cause of communist liberation was as powerful as these people think.
I say all the time that I wish the Democratic Party was 1/1,000th as radical as these clowns say it is... same thing with the so-called American "left".
man, true
but that's a hallmark of fascist ideology: "the enemy is both strong enough to control the whole world, but weak enough to be confined to the fringes and ultimately snuffed out"
There is also the thing about "cancel culture" which really is just changing social norms.
That people have to fear their word choice and have to be careful what they say as to not offend someone has been a thing since before civilization itself existed.
@elfrjz "Cancel culture" is a buzzword to demonize a very normal process: Social norms.
And yeah different ideologies have different social norms and a group of people bound by ideology will react with disapproval to people who don't share that one. That's been true since we still lived in tribes.
What is unique about conservatists though is that they deny that these are just social norms. They instead call it "cancel culture" to make it seem like it's something that has never existed before and is a threat to everyone.
I really wish so too, mate.

Every president has put power and greed above the well-being of the people, whether democrat or republican.

"Capitalism’s concept of competitive man who seeks only to maximize wealth and power, who subjects himself to market relationships, to exploitation and external authority, is anti-human and intolerable in the deepest sense" - Noam Chomsky
"In the moral calculus of currently prevailing state capitalism, profits and bonuses in the next quarter greatly outweigh concern for the welfare of one’s grandchildren, and since these are institutional maladies, they will not be easy to overcome. While much remains uncertain, we can assure ourselves, with fair confidence, that future generations will not forgive us our silence and apathy." - Noam Chomsky
"A basic principle of modern state capitalism is that costs and risks are socialized to the extent possible, while profit is privatized." - Noam Chomsky
"Under capitalism, we can't have democracy by definition. Capitalism is a system in which the central institutions of society are in principle under autocratic control." - Noam Chomsky
"Capitalism is a system in which the central institutions of society are, in principle, under autocratic control. Thus, a corporation or an industry is, if we were to think of it in political terms, fascist, that is, it has tight control at the top and strict obedience has to be established at every level. [...] Just as I'm opposed to political fascism, I am opposed to economic fascism. I think that until the major institutions of society are under the popular control of participants and communities, it's pointless to talk about democracy." - Noam Chomsky

Both "sides" are essentially the exact same, just with different optics.

What does the OP mean?
LMFAO. Gonna steal this joke
Ironically, we can use a quote by the Frankfurt School/Theodor Adorno to describe the psychology of "cultural marxist" scaremongerers:
"For, while people recognize their dependence and often enough venture the opinion that they are pawns, it is extremely difficult for them to face this dependence unmitigated. Society is made up of those whom it comprises. If the latter would fully admit their dependence on man-made conditions, they would somehow have to blame themselves, would have to recognize not only their impotence but also that they are the cause of this impotence and would have to take responsibilities which today are extremely hard to take. This may be one of the reasons why they like so much to project their dependence upon something else, be it a conspiracy of Wall Street bankers or the constellation of the stars. What drives people into the arms of the various kinds of “prophets of deceit” is not only their sense of dependence and their wish to attribute this dependence to some “higher” and ultimately more justifiable sources, but it is also their wish to reinforce their own dependence, not to have to take matters into their own hands- a wish, true, which is ultimately engendered by the pressure under which they live"
translating Adorno into english has to be the most cursed thing I have seen. It loses all its nuance. American Discourse could really profit from reading german hegel.
@@puttster7939Pretty sure that would count as cruel and unusual punishment.
Older socialist here, and I am increasingly heartened by how young people are waking up to the truth. Your channel is brilliant. Well done.
That's the silver lining to things being as fucked as they currently are.
It's become almost impossible for younger generations to not identify the source of all the bullshit we have to live under (crippling debt, a pervasive mental health crisis, lack of affordable housing, the increasingly high pay walls for education, etc, etc.)
At this point, you'd have to aggressively go out of your way to not recognize what's happening. And, of course, we have the Internet. We've never had barriers to the truth.
I have a lot of hope for my generation (Z,) and I have even more for the ones to come.
This channel is trash. Well done.
What truth are you speaking of? Using leftist tripe and the overused tripe that doesn’t debunk anything? Doesn’t take much to make someone who already thinks like you to believe what you’re telling them is the truth.
Especially when you don’t even understand this conspiracy and the fact it’s plain to see the truths about this conspiracy that pro-Marxists will never see nor admit to in their little universities and safe spaces.
They are New Left or Neo-Marxist. Along the same lines as Herbert Marcuse. It has less to do with 'red scare' and more their allegiance to fairytales.
It's taking It's time, but we all over the world are getting there.
Gen x socialist here, I think if more people understood Marxism, socialism, and capitalism, they would realize they lean way more left.
I remember someone once saying "If you look close enough, nearly every conspiracy theory links back to antisemitism" and it is impressive how accurate that is.
It's not by accident that they also mention the Frankfurt School.
The only things that links back to antisemitism, is all form of socialism, Karl Marx also hated the Jews. There are conspiracy theory that talk about the aliens and the Jews has nothing to do with it.

"Claiming to be the victim when you are in fact the aggressor is not a defense. It is actually part of the crime"
Timothy Snyder
And who is the aggressor? What is your point? The right in the USA is actually invested in protecting the present conditions of life and in particular the rich to be allowed to profit unlimited and unregulated . Hoarding wealth unlimited is all they care. What do you respond to that fact?
Agreed. Someone can’t claim to be “David” when they are the “Goliath.”
@@georgefurman4371 perhaps I was not clear. In the US the agressor is the right, who claims to be attacked by Communism, by transgender and the whole LGBT movement, and basically by every group who defend basic human rights. American Right is the attacker, the one who tries to brainwash and fool people, while claiming all the others are the ones doing that (like saying Leftists want to make kids gay, while they were the ones who tried to make kids straight in the conversion therapy camps)
I was just using the quote to show many aggressors portray themselves as the victim, like spousal abusers, rapists, or Nazi Germany in and pre WW2, or Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union (and throughout part of the last 300 years)

@@user-ze1ej5zb6z what an ignorant statement. First of all, the Soviet Union absolutely DID have homeless people -- millions of them. Secondly, you're not only oversimplifying but you don't have any evidence and you are committing false equivalence (like this channel does). Homelessness rates can vary significantly between different capitalist countries based on their economic policies, social safety nets, and other factors. It's not because of whether they are capitalist or socialist or whatever. Despite its many flaws, there's no denying capitalism has helped spread more innovation and money than any other system.
The biggest problem is that these people are still invited to the public debate, as if they were just "another side of the political spectrum".
It will stay that way until we learn to distinguish reich-wing from right-wing. Which won’t happen until the latter utterly disavows the former.
@@wildfire9280Right wing always means pro hirarchy, pro discrimination of minorities, less rights for normal people and anti democracy.
Spicy take but this is why I would support an organized silencing of public figures. It could be enforced by the government or it could be a more representative body like a media union, but if someone is lying or misrepresenting, if someone is blaming ethnic or religious groups for social problems, that person deserves to have their ability to speak on platforms like television and the internet revoked. Kind of like a terms of service for public speech. I think things like stochastic terrorism needs to be curbed by public policy, and I think it can be done in a fair way.
@@wildfire9280same thing
Lol, if this clown had a serious debate with PSA_Sitch or Dev he'd get annihilated.
Socialism is the right to not suffer and die for corporate greed. Most people can get behind that since most people are the very ones suffering form corporate greed.
but socialism isn’t the solution for the problems that are existing beside the corporate greed, politic should be viewed as a weighing pan, give socialism too much power and you have facism, give democracy too much power and you have imperialism, give marxism too much power and you have communism, there isn‘t one right political position, but as long as you have a moral compass, where everyone is included who prioritizes liberty and good life conditions under a good settled law, you are on the safe side, but always consider, your political ideals aren’t always the right ones, don‘t vote blindly for someone who tells you all the things you want to hear, because that‘s not how political should be, there is always room for improvement but not always a solution for a bigger problem, that needs time and hard work.

@@alphaomega1351 I'm aware. I had a friend who has a SEVERELY autistic son. He might as well have Down's Syndrome with his level of cognitive ability. And he still said to me, "No one deserves anything." It's like these people don't think about the consequences of what they believe. So if he doesn't save up enough money to pay someone enough to take care of his child after he's gone then his disabled child should die on the street? How lovely.
@@ronnyscheidt9011 I don't see how not having homeless, not having hungry, having livable wages for everyone, universal healthcare so people literally don't die over fear from a doctor bill (I know someone who actually died because she was too scared to go to the hospital because of the cost), free education for all, strong unions, improved infrastructure, not let things like whether we make strides towards combating climate change be reliant on whether it's profitable or not, can't be a solution to most of our problems.
@Rest323 though weirdy if left on its own for long enough, "detroit" occurs.
Its almost like capitalism relies on governments to allow for its functionality as the very nature of money needs a government to create and support banks just for it not to be seen as worthless monopoly money.

This sounds like something that would get posted on r/shitliberalsSay
From a French perspective, in the US you have two right wing parties : Democrats (right wing) and Republican (even more right wing). Also funny, both parties bear a name that does not mean anything, at all. What does it mean to be a "democrat" ? What does it mean to be a "republican" ? Those terms are so vague, many french thinkers refuse to use them, as they are "incantatory terms", you can use to not say anything at all most of the time.
Politics in the US seems drowned in vague undefined terms nobody understands, but people feel strongly about. To me the only VALID analysis of society is the Marxist one, it's the one that makes people understand where they're interests really lie, material interests. The real enemies are exploitative corporations, not black people coming to France for a better life fleeing their sinking ship of a country. Making us work so much for such small salaries, when the boss makes 10 times more than you for the only reason that he can steal so he will.
"...not black people coming to France for a better life fleeing their sinking ship of a country."
Like they are called "reactionary" for a reason. A reaction to a genuine socialist system threatening their interests, coming with a quasi-theory mimicking Marxism except actually supporting the capitalist status quo.
In England, the current Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, was giving a talk at a far-right thinktank event in 2019. In the speech she said that the Conservative Party "are engaged in a battle against cultural Marxism". After the speech, she was asked by a journalist if she stands by the term "Cultural Marxism" considering it's far-right connotations and how it's used as a dog-whistle for Jewish people. Braverman's answer was "Yes, I do believe we are in a battle against a cultural Marxism, as I said.". Essentially admitting that she was using it as a term against Jewish people. It's insane how quickly anti-Semitism has been so normalised by Conservatives in the UK but absolutely no one seems to care.
When I started making history videos 4 years ago, I was a hardcore anti-Marxist.
Then, I actually read some Marx. Turned out he made many valid points.
Happy to say that I stand corrected.
Marx was rarely wrong when it comes to capitalism,
One might say you did some….thinking 🥁
Me too but I feel like I'm reading a Bible/Quran, as I read through I'm constantly disagreeing
You read a book that contradicted your viewpoint and actually changed your views based on it???
Top Marx for you!
Marx's prescriptions for capitalism are not great but understandable coming from someone born in 1818 but his critiques of capitalism are accurate and timeless.
The fact that there is a significant amount of people that strongly believe in this asinine, self-contradictary and destructive rethoric is making me lose my faith in humanity. Hopefully this video manages to open some eyes
The folks who would vote for far-right parties, are the first ones who get "man-handled", if such extreme parties are in power!

"For the first time in our history, Americans have to be fearful of what they say"
Women who were hanged at the Salem witch trials in the 1690s for not being able to justify having a seizure: "💀"
We can technically give them a pass for that since America didn't exist until 1776, but even then there are plenty of examples. I'm pretty sure African-Americans had to be fearful of what they said during slavery and Jim Crow. Japanese-Americans had to be fearful of what they said during the Second World War. People in general had to be fearful of what they said during McCarthyism. So there's plenty of examples of times when Americans have to be fearful of what they said in the past. Free speech might be a constitutional right, but the American government has a shady record with those rights.
@@masterofdeath5648 Ever notice how all of these most infamous examples are always primarily driven by the conservative “traditions” of the era (they often aren’t all that traditional)?
Americans have been made to fear speaking out for as long as it's been a country. Abolitionists were the targets of mobs and state sanctioned violence for trying to end the practice of slavery. The FBI had Black leaders assassinated, like Fred Hampton, for suggesting the establishment of a multi-racial class coalition that renounced capitalism. Farm workers in the 1960s went on hunger strikes to try and secure better wages and safer work conditions through unionizing and faced violent opposition from the state of California. There was the McCarthy era in which dissidents in Hollywood and the media were hounded by government officials for being supposed Communists, and put to trial when they wouldn't rat out their colleagues. Lenny Bruce was arrested multiple times for using swear words in his stand up comedy sets. LGBTQ social events and shows were illegal and subject to routine police brutality. Those are all examples of state-mandated suppression of free speech. Not that one dude's assertion that public criticism due to his personal bigoted or racist comments online constitute an abridging of his First Amendment rights.
Great callout. That statement alone by Lind during that diatribe is so laughably horsesh1t he should’ve been removed from the room.
@@masterofdeath5648they get no pass for that because witch trials were just another name for murdering women who didn’t comply.. that behavior wasn’t limited to the witch trials. When women were not burned at the stake anymore they were still hung, beaten, locked away in asylums and nunneries, beaten to death by their husbands. Definitely no pass on the oppression of women

I fear having political discussion with anyone these days as a Marxist. Even without explicitly saying "I am a Marxist" saying things like owning your own labor labels me as an other and see a lot of backlash from coworkers and random people for even having that opinion by itself, almost losing my job and attacked on social media. It's a scary time with these attacks from the right as now they all seem extreme as well.
It isn't as bad in Canada I am part of a labor union at my work.
Idk who ya talkin to or where but this sounds very libshit. To "apolitical" and people who arent doomers but also arent with their head in the sand most of the marxist ideas, with a but of non-scary paint, resonate because its a human centered ideology. It demands a world of human interest, not that of capital. In conclusion, liberalism is when freehdum and individuality and the more freehdum and individuality the more people start sounding the exact same.

The way you explain these topics in an easy to understand and an easily verifiable way whilst presenting evidence helps open up a whole once closed-off group of people to the realities of the capitalist system whilst presenting a positive alternative backed with the facts behind it whilst also demolishing anti-socialist/communist propaganda peddled by right wing conservatives/fascists.

Wow. If you’d have told me four months ago that I would not only understand, but completely agree with Socialism and would fight for Left leaning beliefs, I would have believed you an insane “dirty communist.” But here we are, and here I am, a changed man.
I'm finding out that apparently I've been some kind of Marxist since I was a kid. Hey, "they" taught me that fairness(equality?) is a core value for instance. Why the huge gap between our supposed principles and the opposition to wanting the equality we're supposed to value? Can't make sense of it.

Your daily reminder that Jordan Peterson used to talk about "Cultural Marxism" until people started pointing out where the term came from. Around then, he suddenly switched to "postmodern neomarxists" seamlessly. Curious, that.
Do people not have a right to correct themselves if they are shown the error? Or were you born perfect?
@@Hadoken.that’s not the issue. Peterson is a paid propagandist made to look grassroots when he is astroturf provided a script by the Heritage foundation, PragerU, Wilks foundation etc.
The PragerU connection os also key because he is trying to make a bogeyman that isn’t Jews. Now it’s Frenchmen. Trying to steer away from anti-Semeticism.
One of the biggest engines behind social justice historically in the USA has been Social Gospel Christianity. If they point this out many Christians will likely agree with Social Gospel and many extremely conservative Christians actually do like the Baptists who originated it.

They will likely vote right conservative but many aren’t fooled.
And Biden Thirdway Democrats also have propaganda. But the fact that the right propaganda is directly linked to Nazi is sick.
There is nothing wrong with correcting yourself if you made a mistake. But that's not what Peterson did. His fearmongering stayed exactly the same, he just substituted a Nazi slogan for a nonsense phrase (Marxism is a modernist philosophy with a grand narrative of history, post modernism explicitly rejects grand historical narratives) while the rest of the conspiracy theory stayed the same. Now, do I think Jordan Peterson is a Nazi? In the sense of wishing death upon Jews, no, not really. But he all the traits that would have made a 1930s German eager to accept the Nazis.

Thank you so much for covering this. Here in Australia, the exact same thing has been happening since the late 60s. Different terminology but the same agenda. It's especially noticeable this year because we are finally having a referendum to include our First Nations people in the constitution and a Voice in parliament. The tactics utilised by the far-right on this topic, remind me of the Mont Pelerin Society and the Chicago school of economics. Coincidence?
I'm guessing not. All of the actual elite are part of the same small groups. OxBridge and the Ivy League being two examples.
I’ve always wondered why, if New Zealand successfully incorporated the same political integration of its indigenous people, neighboring Australia hasn’t done the same. And now that I’m considering it again, I’m wondering why more Americans and Canadians haven’t been emboldened to pursue the same with tribal governments when (at least in the U.S) they’re roughly on par with state governments.
Of course, I’m inclined to believe genocidal racism and the unwillingness to exorcise it may have played just a little part of that.
How’d that lockup go over there? Did you enjoy being told you can’t go somewhere? Do you enjoy being controlled?
You say that conservatives dont face cenxorship and that its “free speech to say im racist” but if i go on tv and say that blm was used for terrorism im a racist and i get my life thrown away and harrassed my whole life.
At least once a week, I see a bumper sticker that says, "Socialism: When you make it, and they take it".
And every time I do, I think, "Didn't you misspell 'Billionaires'"?
Also, could just be "Capitalism: When you make it, and they take the majority of the wealth." But when people are in their bubbles, they seek confirmation bias and double down on their ignorance. It isn't until they are willing to actually read, research and look outside the box that they might learn and change their mind. Not everyone is going to be able to do that, but I applaud those who do.

Religion is a massive part of this. Whether someone is spoon-fed its doctrines or willingly accepts a religion at some point in their life: it becomes a core tenet and anchor in their life.
Whatever else religion may be, it's an anchor to the people who live by it. Thus, insulting the religion is akin to insulting their very worldview and by extension, the life they lead.

The modern US and really the modern "West" was completely shaped by the Cold War, which was preceeded by and overlapped with a century of Red Scares (that openly violated the constitution).
Capitalism "won" after a half-century of genocidal anti-communist policy by the US government, built on a foundation of constant overt misinformation, disinformation & some of the most evil acts committed in the 20th century post-WWII; coups, assassinations, occupations, massacres, carpet bombings, propped-up military governments, narco-states, gangsters, fascist dictators; policy aimed at completely wiping out states that dared to institute egalitarian policies instead of turning over their resources and wealth to global capital managed by the West, with US military & intelligence as its attack dogs.
No matter how "radical" that description sounds, it is absolutely the true story of the second half of the 20th century and US policy up to at least the 1990s, although it has never stopped following the same basic pattern of wholesale misinformation, attempted labor & resource theft in the name of global capital, & military aggression against any nation that seeks to chart its own path, especially a more egalitarian path. Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump or Biden would all call even a duly elected foreign leader a dictator that needs to be removed, then unflinchingly install an unelected dictator or powerless puppet state whose only role is to pillage the country & facilitate massive corruption managed by the pentagon, with bottomless unquestioned funding from the US congress.

I went gradually from the right to the left in my focus largely only thanks to your content, but this video sealed my reruitment right there, it was chilling to the bone, I wish more people could open theur eyes, especially those who are just ideologically imprisoned, this goes beyond a political party. What is going on here is largely down to the psychology within great many people in this world who feel like their enslaving culture is natural, who think patriarchy is a natural way of life, no it is not, and never was based on nurmous studies, it was imposed upon nature as a man-made order and rule, not a way of life within mother nature which can be seen in indigenous tribes which were communist and largely matriarchal, they had no patriarchal system, that's why they were so much in touch with mother nature as a feminine force, patriarchy tried to oppress it instead. This is just one example of many, all the fears of being indoctrinated, notice by what ideology, the one that is freeing us from patriarchy, tradition and culture back into nature and individual self expression as mother nature has intended instead of the patriarchal system, again, where is that bogeyman, what these elite politicians want you to fear, WEF, transhumanism, and all that overblown conspiracy stuff? Those are all capitalists, they are not fighting them, why is Hillary Clinton not in jail, why dont they attack WEF or all that stuff, somehow it is only sold to you as a threat while they are attacking anything that threatens tradition and patriarchy in the meantime, curious isn't it, while they are distrating you with conspiracy theories all along, but not doing ANYfreaking thing about them whatsoever, they just attack minorities, very interesting. How the hell people could be so asleep at this point, it boggles my mind, I used to be a huge conspiracy theorist till the last year, I have even voted for Trump once, I still believe there is something shady about vaccines, but Big Pharma are not attacked, everything goes as it used to, only minorities are being attacked...like what is going on?

Antonio Francesco Gramsci 22 January 1891 - 27 April 1937) was an Italian Marxist philosopher, journalist, linguist, writer, and politician. He wrote on philosophy, political theory, sociology, history, and linguistics. He was a founding member and one-time leader of the Italian Communist Party. He wrote about Marxist theory, critical theory, and educational theory associated with his name, such as: Cultural hegemony as a means of maintaining and legitimising the capitalist state...Gramsci suggested that it maintained control not just through violence and political and economic coercion but also through ideology. In line with Gramsci's theories of cultural hegemony, he argued that capitalist power needed to be challenged by building a counter-hegemony. By this, he meant that, as part of the war of position, the organic intellectuals and others within the working-class, need to develop alternative values and an alternative ideology in contrast to bourgeois ideology...According to American socialist magazine Jacobin, Gramsci "is one of the most cited Italian authors - certainly the most cited Italian Marxist ever - and one of the most celebrated Marxist philosophers of the twentieth century.", adding that the Prison Notebooks "allowed his unorthodox Marxism to spread worldwide.
Gramsci's thought emanates from the organised political left but has also become an important figure in current academic discussions within cultural studies and critical theory.

This is what I saw my mother and other members of my family doing. I have since understood that there is a difference between using your conservative faith as a means to help and love people and weaponizing your conservative views to control people. I have also grown to understand the difference between individual beliefs in Capitalism and corporate beliefs in Capitalism. When I say corporate beliefs, I mean the collective whole. I am neurodivergent, ADHD and on the Autism Spectrum. I grew up under insane amounts of bigetry, economically and socially, simply because I was different. I have now changed my political views. I now consider myself socialist and progressive. I realize now that is what I always believed in but I did not know it at the time. I cannot in good conciense support as system that hates and destroys people just because they are different because I would be persecuting myself. I consider myself now to be a Christian Socialist. Why? Because God is love and supporting and helping people is what Christ did and if you look at the ministry of Christ and the early church it is very Comunist and Socialist. My heart is that we all must band together, lock arms in solidarity and work to make this world the beautiful world that it can be where no one is persecuted by any means just for being different. To me, real Christianity is taking chains off of people and setting them free in every sense of the word. I have come to believe that the beauty of Christ has been and is being muddled and destroyed by people who would use the message of love as a means to enslave.

Maybe try to look past the propaganda as it's much messed up as the democrats are (like bringing back racially segregated school bills)
The left in the US often make the mistake of claiming "the powerful elites don't exist" which make them look extremely stupid.
I mean there aren’t any left wing ones
I think educating Candace on neo liberism and ACTUAL socialism, workplace democracy and democracy in OUR, not the 1%'s economy would be huge
This video is amazing! You really hit the right tone in how to communicate historical and cultural context without sounding paternalistic, which i think makes is very effective in informing the people who need to hear this most! Excellent work 🤍
in france "cultural marxism" is called "islamo-gauchisme" litteraly islamo leftism, the exact same termenology used by nazis
How is it possible for islamo leftism to exist if we are more conservative than the average american Republican,
In Germany this is pulled to, but because of German history they can’t get away with the same lies because people read Marx and the DDR. But they tried.
It is fascinating to me to see Wagenknecht form coalition with part of the AFD because part of the AFD is from former DDR.
I actually challenged someone on the narrative, and pointed out that Habermas was Frankfurt school, he said oh he was my professor, I liked him very much. LOL
I am US citizen, but ethnic German and lived in Germany.
"It comes from a school called the Franklin school"
I actually laughed out loud
"that comes out of Berlin" 😁
Guys, don't laugh at him, he clearly isn't aware that Germany is a country and not just Berlin. I swear the more radical conservatives tend to struggle with geography, maybe it's some sort of sickness.
This is the internet, don't get offended.
@@Solstice261 It's not sickness. It's plain stupidity.
Another way to say “Cultural Marxism” or “Communism” is …. “We don’t have a platform that appeals to enough voters to win elections.”
Exactly.
Second Thought: thanks for being there.
"...freed from the Christian religion" sounds like a good thing to me.
Yes, to me as well. But, Gramsci NEVER actually said or wrote that. That was made up by the conspiracionists.
Many people in the Soviet Union were Orthodox Christians or Muslims, even when it was suppressed. I don't see why you would abolish religion anyway.
I personally don't believe that religions should be abolished. Although, I do think their influence over public policy should be diminished, if not even rejected.
@@zeratultemplar6604 Religion causes a lot of dogmatic problems.
Republican's love fluid talking points that their base can decide on their own what it means so its more personal. They just throw words out there knowing their people won't know or care what it actually means and because its person to person one persons idea is just as right as the completely different idea the person next to them have of the exact same thing. There strength is that they don't have to know or understand anything to change what they don't like or told not to like.
@@elfrjz because the majority are conservatives/corporate democrats. A lot of their goals are to make sure the left can't go to the left but going a little to the right is fine
@@elfrjz but don’t you think that’s a more republican problem than a democratic problem?
@@ronnyscheidt9011no, both of the aisles are tribal fools
@@elfrjz Aren't better? At all?
I'm trying to look past the propaganda talking points, both sides do like a strawman arguement
the worst part of all these type of reactionist behaviour towards new "movements" and "conspiracies" is their acceptance and insistence that the current status quo is not worst and has more problems
bruh your video got an ad put on it that attempts to teach people about the "horrors of socialism"
Where the truth is found they need to double down on brainwashing, thats why trolls come in in the first place, they know it triggers them when their lust for power, fear and control are questioned and challenged.
If you asked any Conservatives What Marxism, Socialism, or Woke means, they don't have a clue.
@@coopsnz1True, SoCalism is full of trash capitalist rhetoric, Socialism is what WE need
@@coopsnz1 want to put some dressing on that word salad?
I wouldn't go on strawman arguement route, it only feeds the divide and instead of hearing each other out. That's like 5 point deduction in debate competition
I believe DeSantis defined woke as “the belief in systemic injustice and the need to address it”. So they actually know perfectly what it is. They just violently fight it
@@lucasmurphy740One of his Lawyers defined it. Destupid just says Woke over & over like a broken record.
It seems like something Jordan Petersen and Ben Shapiro would like.
@@elfrjz the dragon of chaos and the matriarchal void of darkness. His actual words
Please continue to make videos like this. It's important to combat-fascism and anti-communism. Anyone who's reading this and is right-wing, please remember that American socialists are Americans. I love our country, and I want *all* Americans to be better off.
I agree.
After watching it, I stand even more firmly with the right. 👍🏻
Amazing video!!! Your work is invaluable dude!
It is crazy how many racists there is in usa… dang…
20 years ago, I was a boss, we learn that a high wage make happy workers, and more profit…. It is true.
Yes, I’m Danish.
Well the racists are starting to multiply in Europe too, more far right groups and parties are popping up
@@GalacticNovaOverlord but a President of a country that wanna be the #1 in the world, is not a great look. Like china’s blind prez. or Putin that live in a mental 1950 soviet world. Yes, in germany nazi’s are out again - but it is no where near what is happening in usa.
What has wages do with racism. You people are something else.
@@meeraj-4774☣️BJP Nazi Detected ☣️
"Comes from the Franklin school, out of Berlin"
Bro can't even get his own propaganda right
I know you tend to gloss over these comments but what you're doing for giving access to left wing/socialist content is immeasurable. I know RUclips is where we get our "slop" to chew on but whilst I'm a member of the the UKs socialist party, its VITAL that I keep updated with more info and topics. Please keep this work going because you're doing a fantastic job!
Thanks for the 'gist' to start out. Now I feel comfortable listening to the whole thing.
I'm about to go work a firefighter convention in the middle of Missouri. I expect to see at least a little anti-communism on display, for no reason.
You see, fire is red. So is Commie blood.
Public employees hating public mindedness. Seems legit.
Being from southwest Missouri, yeah, you almost 100% will
@@wrestler375 man, the mustaches at this thing are insane. You've never seen so many dudes who'd rather be cops.
How was it?
It says a lot about the fascist right that they are constantly coming up with new words for “enemy”
6:41, No, that's not what conservatives think at all. No one but serious narcissists think that. If you say something (perceived as) racist in current year, in any public forum, your career has a high chance of getting terminated there and then. Likewise, credence is automatically lent, increasingly, to people we acknowledge as "marginalized", because we want to sympathize with them; but this in turn leads to "ordinary" "white males" and so on to being trusted less, and the "marginalized" being conversely treated with more favor than they should. The problems are drawn from radicalized pseudo-progressivism, which has its roots in ordinary progressivism. I imagine conservatives feel threatened by the thought of being bullied by invincible minorities who can do no wrong brandishing the labels of bigotry and -isms against them. In the same breath these people often identify with various progressive movements. So it's no wonder people are scared of this. They are not, however, as shallow as this point makes them seem.
With the prevalence of conservative media - the newspapers and TV - even centrist viewpoints can be presented as extreme left
Nah, Centrists are hated by both sides, because we don't swear allegiance to either sides dogmatic ideology.
That's not an accident. Most right wing media in the US, techies of format or optics, is owned by a literal handful of people. They get to craft whatever narrative they want, and through sheer repetition across all forms of media it becomes the new norm for entirely too many people.
"Conservative" media 😭😭
I am a senior citizen who recently suffered a knee sprain that was so bad I could hardly walk....I live on social security and supplement this with a job in retail that pays slightly better than the state's minimum wage...I ended up in the emergency room, was x-rayed and given a pair of crutches....and of course, told to take aspirin and rest as much as possible...total cost: $1900.00. Thanks to Medicare and a bit of help from the state, I was left with a bill slightly more than $200.00. So, to all those conservatives who are opposed to 'social programs as socialism' I say...screw you.
cool vid! have you made any vids or anything about the difference between 'racism' and 'prejudice'? like, a lot of people can get confused about individual prejudice and when prejudices get folded ann synthesized into bureaucracy and processes and become manmade-environment-based prejudice? feels like one of the common misdirects/misunderstandings of conservatives is conflating environmental and personal prejudices and treating them the same or just not making any distinction, or like just saying "they dont actually want to fix environmental prejudice they want to attack YOU for personal prejudice! you ahve to stop them!" in order to get people to defend environmental biases/old system from any revisiting/updates/patches that would remove exploits that the 'people in power because of those exploits' would want to keep around
ended up rambling but yeah keep up the good work!!
America doesn't even know what socialism is, never mind Marxism.
20:25 it’s ironic that they always say that feelings doesn’t matter, yet everything they say and use rely so heavily on feelings.
They say “facts don’t care about your feelings” but their whole business model is built on “feelings don’t care about your facts”
After reading Marx I instantly became a cultural Marxist because I distinctly remember Marx asking for a disjointed capitalist hell scape to become our current day reality and I love it. Every waking second of it.
Me too. I am secretly a blood sucking jewish vampire who loves George Soros. Couldn't be happier
Dude
Would groups like the Amish(omitting the religious aspect, opiate of the people and everything )be considered socialist?
@@DoctorNERO616
No, because the Amish would be self sufficient and would not depend on socialist collectives and institutions. Marxists hate those people more than they hate fascists.
@@DoctorNERO616
if they dont have private property but all work and share ghings together by measure of work they invest.
There are few videos that could be described as life changing, this one is definitely one of those, I went gradually in my focus from the right to the left thanks to your content, but this one definitely sealed the deal in my recruitment. All this comes down to the psychology within great many of people with regards to patriarchal system and their beliefs trying to defend it because they are convinced it is a natural way of life, no it is not, and never was, there's been numerous studies done on this, patriarchy has been imposed upon mother nature through man-made order and rules, it goes against the matriarchal system within indigenous tribes who had basically their own true version of communism or socialism as they were in touch with mother nature as a feminine force, which patriarchy oppressed for centuries. What do these elitist politicians want you to fear and defend, what kind of a system, what ideology is seen as threat in their own eyes? The one that is freeing you from this patriarchal system, and bringing you back to mother nature that honors each and everyone's free self expression, where the individual goes on top in value over any religion or belief system. They are selling you conspiracy theories in the meantime as a distraction while they are attacking anything that threatens this system, tradition and culture, why Hillary Clinton is not locked up, why WEF, AI or trans-humanism is not attacked, because they are all capitalists, they all work together, why is it always just spread around as a threat while the only attacks happen to minorities and deviations from norm. It boggles my mind how could people be so asleep at this point, and I voted for Trump once, I was a huge conspiracy theorist myself until the last year. They want you to fear the dark, destruction and chaos so you could give them more authoritarian power to rule over you. True freedom sits beyond the duality where the dark is transcended altogether so they could not use it to hijack your emotions to support them again.
I enjoy listening to your viewpoint. Thank you for creating content!
