Reform and Revolution 1815-1848: Crash Course European History #25

  • In the aftermath of the revolutions and upheaval in 18th and early 19th century Europe, there was a hunger for reform across the continent. Reformers like Robert Owen, Charles Fourier, and Auguste Comte proposed radical new ideas, and at the same time, regular people began to stand up and ask for greater equality, and a louder voice in how they were governed. Results were mixed, but a lot of the ideas that emerged during this time are still echoing in our world today.

      Well, yeah. A lot of people at the time thought of Napoleon as the future of republicanism - and why wouldn't you, with him returning from military success (minus Egypt) to come stabilize a faltering, compromised Directorate - but Simon Bolivar specifically recounted being in Paris at the time of the coronation of the new Emperor and wrote about his disgust at the betrayal of Republican values. He was not totally a Napoleon booster, giving his later life an air of irony, not wish fulfillment.

    The "opiate of the masses" quotation about religion wasn't *necessarily* Marx calling it a bad thing. He was saying that religion was essentially a coping mechanism for how awful life was for the working class. The full text is:
    "Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people."
    Of course, like pain-killers such as opium, over-reliance on it while avoiding any sort of correction to the situation is indeed a bad thing, and he does go on to say that as well.

      @CommandoDude I wouldn't say that "medicine" really covers Marx' intent. Medicine implies a cure, it is often the means to defeat the illness. That's not what religion is for Marx. It's a means to numb the pain and plaster over it, a superficial pain killer, not a way to really deal with the problem.

  • @redflags6583
    @redflags6583 4 года назад +72

    It was Engels who differentiated between the utopian socialism of Owen, Saint-Simon, and Fourier and their scientific socialism based on Hegel and Feuerbach; the chief difference of which was the application of Hegel's idea of dialectics with Feuerbach's materialism to Marx's analysis of political economy, thus leading to what we understand as core to Marxism - the idea of class struggle shaping all societies.
    As for Marx and religion, Marx did say religion was the opium of the masses. But he also said that it was the "sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions." Literally right before he said it was the opium of the masses. Marx didn't hate religion. He understood it as necessary relief to an oppressed proletariat, while at the same time noting it as a tool of the bourgeoisie to maintain the superstructure.

    • @redflags6583
      @redflags6583 4 года назад +17

      @@stardust86x Marx looked at religion through a historical materialist perspective. Now, admittedly, there is a lot more about how _Marxists_ look at religion than how _Marx_ looks at religion.
      For Marx, religion was both positive and negative. It was a way for people to cope with the unbearable weight of the world. It gave support through spiritual guidance. But he also saw religion as affected by social and economic conditions, and, like other institutions, was being used by the ruling class to maintain their dominance.
      Marxists after Marx have expounded on the role of religion in society. Historical materialism dictates that religion, and religious institutions, evolve based on the control of the means of production by one class. In feudal Europe, the Catholic Church held supreme sway because of its temporal control of land, as well as its theology being beneficial to the ruling monarchy.. The Divine Right of Kings derives from Catholicism, for example. Teachings such as "blessed are the poor" instill meekness and a fatalistic viewpoint in the people, teaching them to accept their lot in life.
      Today, Marxists have differing views on religion. Some people follow the example of Lenin, Mao, and most leaders of socialist states and disavow religion as a tool of the bourgeois. Some people, like Christian liberation theologists, disagree. Marx and Engels themselves, in the Communist Manifesto, say that nothing is easier than to give Christianity a socialist tinge. In liberation theology, religion and materialism aren't mutually exclusive. They see the problem as the religious institution. A socialist religious institution would be one that serves the people and not the ruling class.
      Well this is way longer than any RUclips comment has a right to be. But I hope this helps!

    “At the time”? (7:50) As a Brit (and as a Mancunian - resident of Manchester - with a huge passion for the history of my city), I can tell you that we are still dealing with both the hold of large landowners on our parliament today.
    Why do you think the House of Lords still exists as an unelected house, and how even the commons is dominated by aristocratic or pro-aristocratic forces.
    And as a minor point, it wasn’t the police who fired.
    The police didn’t exist yet at the time of Peterloo.
    It was the troops.
    Also, the reason it was called “The Peterloo Massacre” is to do with Waterloo, but it’s because the Prime Minister at the time was the duke of Wellington - the self same hero of Waterloo.
    I really think that should have been mentioned quickly to give context to what went on.

    I know that the "zar" pronunciatino of "tsar" is entrenched in English, but I'm Russian and so I hate it. Would love it if you switch to "tsar" - you know with an actual /ts/ sound, which is why it's romanized with a (when not romanized in the more confusing "czar" way).

    • @Ellestra
      @Ellestra 4 года назад

      I think the "zar" thing comes from the time they used to write it "tzar" as Germans do use "tz" for the sound and that English doesn't really have the "c" sound that Slavic languages use but they could at least try to pronounce the "ts" as written. The "t" is there for a reason.

      Humor often is a last resort at making counter plea.
      And you must know from history (and basic math) that gunning a minority automatically has more populous support or lack of opposition at least.
      Which reminds us that it is not only about getting more people educated, while others stay in poverty and ignorance.
      But about educating the majority of society enough for keeping themselves and their children that way (preferably not by exploiting others across the border or overseas).
      So clearly there would be enough people to oppose this and getting them expelled is not ideal solution cause they have money outside too and surely would get more support afterwards.
      Anyway, any progressive person knows that it is just laughable. We all strive to live in world without discrimination, violence and poverty. Let all pray to Almighty Investor cause we clearly have no means to achieve it without him, whoever he might be.

    12:05 I think that quote gets really misconstrued. Obviously Marx was not a fan of religion or of repressive religious institutions but I think that quiq doesn't do his thoughts on the matter. The entire quote comes from an introduction to a manuscript he wrote on Hegel's Philosophy of Right and it is as follows "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the Opium of the people." Which is a lot more nuanced of a take than just the last sentence. Also I can't say this definitively but people also viewed opium differently then. It was used as a medicine. Heck opiates still are. Lots of people back then got addicted to opium and it ruined their lives too but I think that adds another layer to it all.

    To anyone who enjoyed this video, I highly recommend the Revolutions podcast by Mike Duncan. He covers many of the revolutions, in painstaking detail, that this video was only able to gloss over in the most frustratingly incomplete way. Honestly, in a lot of ways this video feels like joined summaries of several dozen Revolutions episodes.
    The guy is on spotify, and again, HIGHLY recommended!
    That said, the video is also great, and I understand it serves a different purpose than Mike's in-depth analysis.

    Last week you refered to the low countries while the industrial revolution was mainly in Belgium (first rail line on the continent and other inventions including the dynamo) while the Netherlands joined rather late.
    And now you didn't even mention Belgian independence.

    I'm surprised there wasn't any discussion of the Liberal wars in Portugal or the 1st Carlist war in Spain since it provides a good example of a country experiencing widespread and rapid change as a result of some of the forces discussed in the video such as greater literacy. Yet at the same time as everything changed in Spanish society, so too did little fundamental change as well.

    At that time in the 1830’s O’Connell was instead agitating for home rule.

    • @JRenardLeatherCo
      @JRenardLeatherCo 4 года назад

      @transylvanian if economics is a science. an economy (even a Political one) is a THING that is studied to determine the effects of the choices made regarding the resources that have alternative uses.

      please explain how an economy is science, but the study of that economy, is a religion. please don't waste my time with a response if you won't do so. i'm willing to be proven wrong, but i'm not willing to jump around on topics with no answers being given.

      ​@transylvanian an economy is still i THING to be studied, despite you putting "political" in front of it. "political" is an adjective, "economy" is the noun it describes. BUT, "religion" is the noun YOU literally said an "economy" IS. you need to look up the meanings of words (and, apparently, their proper grammatical uses) long before i do.
      lastly, Marx was not an economist, and his economic theories have literally never lead to a thriving economy. quit while you're behind. please stop discrediting yourself, and quit replying. i'm done with this conversation, but by all means, feel free to get the last word.

    Slight correction - 1890's peterloo massacre wasnt by the police but by the military. The police force wouldn't be established until a couple years later.
    The massacre influenced the decision for british police to be equipped with trunchions instead of guns, and for their uniform to be blue instead of red to distance the police from the military in the eyes of the public. Its a minor detail but yh.
