ironic then that during the Korean war (and afterward on Korea as in general) the International Socialists denounced BOTH Stalinist and US/Western imperialism and the capitalistic oppression and exploitation of workers under both regimes
nonsense. You are an opportunist who opposes socialism. The working class is was emancipated in the USSR and Stalin was a communist revolutionary who fought reactionary and imperialist forces on the side of the working class. You are not serious about consolidating socialism.
YES, YOU ARE RIGHT - THAT IS WHY SOCIALISM MUST BE INTERNATIONAL - CORPORATIONS AND BANKS CAN TRANSFER CAPITAL AROUND THE WORLD IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE IN ORDER TO EXPLOIT CHEAPER LABOR - WORKERS ARE BOUND BY PASSPORTS AND IMMIGRATION LAWS - CAPITAL IS INTERNATIONAL WHILE LABOR IS STILL BOUND WITHIN NATIONAL BOUNDS.
Actually, Terry is to be commended for his work and devotion to this subject. Having surveyed all the videos on Marx on RUclips the public is barraged with propaganda passed off as genuine Marx. The ones that disable the comments sections are mainly the ones produced by the Ivy League institutions addressing lectures on some of Marx's most critical and important theories and writings. Small as it may be turning off the comments section might be a sign of weakness that an orthodoxy really does not have a monopoly on Marx and fears a challenging of ideas. In which case that in itself is an anti-dialectical action is it not to stifle opinion? The state and civil society are crippled by discrimination in their respective spheres of political life, therefore, people will never be wholly free by political means or wholly revolutionary by protest. Discrimination is the dominant force in both spheres of life. Humanity is forever protesting what it is not rather than moving toward what it can become. In 1843 the working class had very little to lose to take on the role of abolishing both these conditions and freeing humanity including itself in the process as Marx sought to prove it would. The working class of 1843 made an attempt, it failed, another attempt in Russia it succeeded to a great measure. The working class of pre-2007, especially in America could never be expected to be the agent of this change until after 2007, when it lost so much of its wealth and assets that a huge percentage of the working class. The it could have acted as an agent of change to abolish the conditions that entrapped humanity and itself if there were told the mission is not Hillary but more of Sanders would have been a first step. But now they act as a agent of change for the bourgeoisie in the White House. Discrimination in both spheres worsening and a deconstruction of the state. When Marx wrote about discrimination in the state, he also noted discrimination develops in civil society, he observed neither sphere would be a vehicle for emancipation. Working class struggles have not succeeded was a practical question that revolutionary theory had not penetrated the consciousness of the masses enough for the masses to become revolutionary. Other process are occurring like it or not that help this learning experience along but whatever that is, the working class movement is charged with the responsibility of freeing humanity from the object that oppresses humanity is a battle-cry for a better world. Something more than just fighting for higher wages or collective bargaining, the labor movement was christened with a universal calling that has greater appeal than a good job.
The GENUINE real life Marx fu...d up his maidservant , got her pregnant and threw her out. He spawned evil regimes. Socialism is real...... Marx was fake.
@@sonalisarbadhikary2260 I am a small time contractor, barely making ends meet. There's never been a capitalist party anywhere. So who's going to pay me. You know that 42 countries practiced full fledged Marxists/Leninism. AL FAILED. All these countries had TOTAL DICTATORSHIP OF THE PROLETARIAT. The population too fully backed the system. YET ALL FAILED. Closer home India had vast tracts of liberated Communist territory. ALL WERE TOTAL 💩💩💩HOLES.
@@swamivardana9911 first of all correct your knowledge maybe 42 countries have Marxism but only 4 to 5 places it's actively working . In india only Kerala has Marxism and Kerala is the most advance state in India. Marxism is gaining popularity in other areas too . You have no knowledge at all . Wait and see American turning towards socialism. Problem is people like you who don't have any knowledge but full of arrogance. The real a**hole is you the true fraud.
@@swamivardana9911 without China and Bolsheviks no one had full dictatorship of proletariats actually people like you are afraid of socialism because govt can fu** you really. Look at China and Vietnam how they are improving . If someone got successful people like you will be no more.
we didnt choose a conservative govt, no one won the election so two parties joined and made a coalition. The tories are despised even more now. We need socialism more than ever here, the tories are just fascists
Why not nationalize the banks, take them over completely, instead of just bailing them out so they can repeat the same greedy irresponsible behavior? At least if the banks were nationalized, we could perhaps have some public input into how capital is invested to serve socially useful purposes. Are bankers somehow uniquely qualified to serve as the directors of the nation's capital?
because you do not have that power, because the elite has the power, because the elite are capitalists and because the elite are neo-liberal to the core.
I love how Eagleton, an avowed Marxist, makes sure to plug his book for purchase all throughout the lecture - which is of course, a capitalist venture at it's very heart.

on the contrary fascism is a form of socialism.
I was dared by a communist friend to watch this video. I am a conservative... wish me luck in pushing through it.

@Kleopatra apparently marxists should be starving and homeless to avoid being hypocrites? 😂🤦♂️

@cassdotcom How original
tl; dw
You want 1840s economics, you got 'em.
The scientific findings of Marx are still 100% correct today. Learn some basic economic you illiterate.
Marx advocated revolution by bloodshed. Stated time and again in "The Manifesto."
No he doesn't. Read a book you filthy liar.
And what’s your point?
Liberals or Conservative have never shed a drop.
