Haven't gotten a chance to sit down and watch this final installment yet, but I offer this sacrificial comment to the algorithm gods that they may boost your glorious videos!
God, that chart at 3:05 is so frustrating, I've seen that same argument so many times. So many anti socialists just hate the way capitalism works, they just call it socialism.
The best term (a word in a narrower, more specific meaning) is one that reflects the reality in our minds the best. there is no need for many words to reflect the same phenomenon as well as it's fallacious to use the same word for different phenomena. And that's what makes TIK's (check out the first 30 minutes of public vs private) or other "free" market supporters hilarious - the presuppositions for all their systems of thought are umbrella terms that have no concrete reflection in the reality - free, freedom, voluntary trade, dictatorship, totalitarian, left vs right (one that Marxists unfortunately still use for some stupid reason), etc
Ugh...that putz is the worst. I used to have a comment on his "What is National Socialism?" video with several hundred likes, stuffing all his BS right back up where it came from...then the comment disappeared. Scratch a liberal, etc.
I've experienced this often at work. "I'm tired of being controlled by the rich... I'm sick of the owner's stupid ideas that never work, I wish we (workers) controlled things... I'm tired of rent being so high... We need to have healthcare and medicine not based on profit..." Etc. Then they claim it's socialism and we need more capitalism. Some of it is the Dunning-Krueger Effect, and it becomes cemented in through confirmation bias... Among other things.
Very appropriate to current times. Woman, gender, life, freedom, law, inflation and recession to name but a few words also suffering a bout of identity crisis.
The Tyranny of Words by Stuart Chase George Orwell mentioned Chase in an essay about politics. Chase was a member of FDR's "brain trust" and wrote the book A New Deal.
How is the ground fundamentally rock? Explain to me how this pebble in my hand could have supported a planet 5783 years ago. Maybe you should specify which tribe you are referring to 12,000 years ago... What language did they speak? What was their political system? How do you expect a specific answer to such a vague query?
Dude really I hope you read that. Im extremely smart. Like up to moon and back kind of smart. But can you if you say something like diametrically opposed what that word even means? I always have to google the words while watching your videos. Diametrically opposed was an easy exanple. Im not and english native speaker...(ironically speaking it better than a lot of americans) but i just guess some words are really hard to grasp. Can you write the definition like that somewhere in the video? Like *this means... *diametrical opposed means: ... whatever. Thanks. I know to you intellectual higher people I may sound stupid or whatever. But I want to actually understand the video and not just act like I understand while I dont have any clue at all. Einstein said you only truly understand something if you can explain it to a 5 year old. And thats it. I want to understand it that far. And this change would make it easier for me thank you in advance.
@@noname-sg6qx When you're talking to extremists, you always have to pay attention to two things: What they say, and what that means. This video is what they say, what it MEANS is: "If you say or think things I don't like or agree with, I'm going to dress up in a black uniform, put on a mask, and seek to hurt you through violence."
i think its important to remember that words don't have [intrinsic] meaning, they have usages, and usages change over space, time, context, etc.

Hello paul, I am a big fan of your content!
@@yoavpekelman7000 That's very kind of you to say, Yoav!
@@Marxism_Today no problem dude
Hey, its Marxist Paul! How are you, Comrade?

Ah, yes.
The classic move of describing capitalism and calling it socialism :,)
I was shocked to see you have so few views, considering the quality of your videos. I have no doubt your channel will explode. I'm happy I found it.

Really useful set of episodes - thanks for making these!!

Language has some corruption, but mostly it's an incredible tool that people get to use to cooperate together! :)
I bought the Lecercle book based on last video. Can't wait.
Great video. Can you elaborate on the “good slogans are correct slogans” bit?
Yeah that's covered in the "A Philosophy of Language" video we did a couple weeks ago!
always nice to see a new video from this channel
Damn yall output has been amazing 👏 😍

Deus Ex Algorithmus, have my comment as sacrifice and please bless us this one instance.
Awesome content!
Nice video mate
How is language fundamentally political? Explain to me how the word "grass" would have been political to a hunter gatherer tribe 12,000 years ago.
How is the ground fundamentally rock? Explain to me how this pebble in my hand could have supported a planet 5783 years ago.

Could be used as a fantastic justification for dictating speech and forcing people to change the way they speak.
This video is too short. I only watch 30+ minute video essays by liberals. Disliked!
Algorithm needs sacriface btw good video

And eat broccoli
The problem with philosophy. No one person agrees on everything.
Seven minutes and twenty three seconds to explain why it's okay murder someone with a bike-lock if they trigger you.
lmao, wym
