absolutely. For example, this channel feels pro and caring, while Plastic Pills feels like they are just mocking everything and also the Wilhelm scream they use is annoying as fuck.
@@AudioPervert1 Uhhhh, there's a lot more than the Manifesto of the Communist Party in 1848 to communism lol, that's just a pamphlet..... but good for you you can blow a lot of hot air with big words - have you considered writing fiction?
Within this past year Marx and Engel´s work has enlightened me. It´s truly the greatest analyse of modern human relations in history. No liberal, realist or any other form of theory even comes close. At university i naturally learn the world through the liberal doctrine, the marxist doctrine on the other hand crushes liberal theory.
@@lepidoptera9337 please explain to me what about historical dialectics, material dialectics, Marxian economics and more is absolutely wrong. I've been studying multiple disciplines and political theoricians at university for years and as I stated Marx for me is by far the most accurate and well detailed analysis of the world. His theory explains modern phenomena perfectly while liberalism, conservative liberalism and other theories give wishy-washy nonsense. Please explain your understanding of these complex analyses and offer your preferred theoricians
@@lepidoptera9337 the prediction of when communism would come into action is exactly that, a prediction. No man can predict the future or the events to come. A slight event could set off a landslide. However through their dialectics they said that capitalism cannot exist forever and its internal antagonisms will eventually bring it's demise. You clearly haven't read anything on Marxist theory because this is such a small inconvenient thing to base your entire statement that nothing they said was correct. Many modern economists use theories Marx and Engels came up with because it was correct however the teaching that Marx came up with it is often left out. I recommend. You do some actual reading on the topic before denouncing the entire thing. Also the rise of fascism is exactly within their dialectics. For every revolutionary movement there is a fascist movement that exists to try and stop it. A great line zizek has mentioned is that in every fascist regime you see the ruins of a potential revolution. Fascism doesn't rises by itself, it is a reaction to the end point of capitalist antagonisms
@@galvezledoux154 Marx was inspired by Adam Smith! That's because Marx was building off of earlier economists who were trying to solve the same problem that Marx was eventually able to: the problem of where profit comes from in a capitalist society. So, Marx necessarily was familiar with and inspired by these economists. Also, Wealth of Nations gets quoted a lot by conservative thinktanks. But if you actually read it, it's quite liberal. Funny how bourgeois intellectuals never seem to actually read the things they revere most of the time...
@@jadekavanah9312 interesting , what are your thoughts of communism and capitalism just being hidden hegelian dialectics both being made by Freemasons as part of this "final revolution" aka Globalim that aldous huxley speaks of ? And how Marx wrote basically the same things that Adam Waiushaup wrote about in his illuminati doctrines ? Also that Marx was am agent of Wall Street
Ian: "First, let's clear up a big misunderstanding concerning this theory" Video: *Jordan Peterson appears* Me (thinking): OH HELL NO NOT THIS BULLSHIT AGAIN
Capitalism, I,e, the for profit algorithm, rejects the dialectic criticism as it threatens the accruement of wealth. It’s tough enough to exist in this platform.
Side note to dig into that phenomenon that occurs with practically everyone, check out deconstruction and Derrida. The spoken and the written word, though from the same mind, inevitably have different attitudes, which most often effects how the communication will be received.
Well Engels said it himself that Marx is the genius one, without Engels, Marx would've still been able to do these things. And he himself is happily be an instrument for Marx. What a humble man!
This is indeed one of the best explanatory works of Socialism and Marxism. Engels was a real talent in this regard, he also translated much of his work in different languages since he was able to speak a ton of them
Thank you for this, I’ve been struggling with dialectical materialism ever since becoming a baby leftist and this really pushed my understand forward. Great work!
Absolutely amazing summary. I am about to read Socialism: Utopian and Scientific and thought I'd catch up on youtube first. You've done a great job. The visuals were very well made. Keep it up.
I’ve recently gone on a Degrowth journey. I’m starting to see Socialism, the green movement, Mark Fisher’s philosophy and Degrowth as a means of saving our planet and society from capitalism and form into the broad movement the left and/or progressive people need. Our world is dying and it isn’t our fault. We need change. We need a movement that can save us. Thank you for your work ❤
Great video! I've been using your videos before and after I read the text to make sure I understand what was said, it's easily to lose track of conclusions I reached at the beginning but forgot by the end.
I love watching your videos. I've had such a much better understanding of the works I'm interested in by watching your work. You give a great groundwork for all these concepts!
It's interesting that capitalism "resets" itself every 5 years in terms of minor resets and major resets ... but we come to perceive this as a normal phenomenon without alternatives ...
Such a great video to explain marxism to beginners! I only wish you put a little more emphasis on overdetermination rather than a purely class oriented analysis, albeit I understand it’s not too relevant to Engel’s specific work but rather marxism as a mode of analysis altogether.
I enjoyed this video. I have questions, though: 1. What exactly would a modern work environment look like -- say an office -- where the workers controlled mode of production? 2. What would America look like without Private organizations?
1. An example would be how Unions actually function right now. People within the hierarchy of control are not given permanent control over a position like current managers/CEOs. A union manager on one job could be a worker on the next, or the foreman, or the cleaner. This is decided on democratically by the collective of workers. 2. No clue
So basically the more you know about the history of european philosophy and the french revolution, the easier it is to comprehend this book's intentions...But a great summary you represented
Reason is more at the heart of the enlightenment period. Comte was the main french philosopher I'd say that may have impacted Marx and Engels. And then Hegel for dialectics (German).
I just discovered u today, but I’ve only had Philosophy 101 & same with sociology & psychology. I need a good basic overall book about, well, like what’s the difference between Marxism & fascism, etc. I don’t need an entire book about each ism, but want to know more than just a paragraph or two. Can you help with a suggestion for an introduction book? I am subscribed now & have always been interested in philosophy, soc., & psych. I am having trouble finding an overall general book & would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much.🤔

Excelent achievement on behalf of your content, really this one is one of your best and topic's pioneer content I've found so far. 5⭐!!
When I was a child, my teacher told me that I would not be allowed to join the communist youth organization until I start behaving like a good boy. That never happened but at least I have these videos to finish my indoctrination now.
I just finished this portion of Marxist Classics volume one. I appreciate your further elaboration of the idea expressed in the book! Very helpful, keep up the good work!
While Marx and Engles didn't come out and say the totality is w/in the class struggle , they got pretty damn close in the Maifesto. Either way, Engles deserves far more recognition than Marx. It's nice to see him get some credit.
What about this quote? “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guildmaster and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, that each time ended, either in the revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.”
Law of the instrument is quite a powerful heuristic though. It's very difficult to understand 'being' in the middle of many surplus tensions. Being openminded, to change the contemplative ideas into a material and social reality.
Well they have a lot to be said to do and the best to do this in a way for them for a good reason and the other way for the other side of their lives is a general problem that they c and are you to be in to the previous one of our own lives in a very different way?
Man, the Engels end quote about how communities won’t stand for very long to be exploited by such a small collection of capitalists, sad, when I see so many talk about wealth and how we might soon have man-made trillionaires, and then just have no connection with Marx or any sort of political economy. It’s just another day in America, robber baron gilded age 2.0. Anyways, really great video and content. Explained these ideas nicely when I’ve been struggling to get my head around it.
I wrote this poem about 15 years ago, inspired by this work and events taking place at the time.

Yes. Isn't that obvious? I have a house, I don't pay rent. I am therefore in a position to study, to get a good job, to explore the world and life and be active in my community, because my basic existential needs are met. If I had the constant existential pressure of being a month away from homelessness, I wouldn't be able to focus on either myself or others - stress isn't good for focus and growth.
In dialectics, rather than lockean metaphysics, the mystery of superposition, a cat being both dead and alive and particles being in multiple states until measured, is no mystery at all. It's a natural fact of matter that is not either state. If used deeper in physics, dialectical materialism is likely to shine light on many quantum mysteries.
In Plato: the republic. Socrates argues the good and bad of justice. wealth has attached itself to justice and that is where you lose the good, only the bad is left as a solution. Wealth being attached to justice is never true justice. The moral frame work of life is not incentivized by wealth.
I'm reminded of the line from "The Third Man": "You know what the fellow said - in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace - and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock." I would add that without capitalism, there would be no civilization. Marxism is great on paper, worthless in practice. Fast forward to 1989--enough said.
...so, civilisation didn't exist before like 4 centuries ago?! Or are you just shortening the famously racist "The US is the only civilised country in the world" bullshit?

I have always had trouble understanding dialectical materialism, but this really puts it into an understandable perspective for me.
Stalin's "Dialectical and Historical Materialism" is also great for that, it was how I came to most fully grasp the concept

Class struggles always existed. That is the point.
Anyone know the name of the guy speaking? He sounds just like James Lindsey.
