Very useful! The one critique I have is that his explanation of Communism uses the terms "private property" and "personal property" interchangeably, but they are very different. From Wikipedia: "In Marxist theory, private property typically refers to capital or the means of production, while personal property refers to consumer and non-capital goods and services." So under communism, you can still own many of the items we cherish in modern life. Cheers!

@@E.C.GoMusicandMore I'll start with the theory and then analyze your examples. First of all we have to assign definitions to key words. Government (state)- is a monopoly on arbitration in all conflicts, including conflicts with itself. Socialism - a system of public ownership of the means of production, where everything is owned by a society as a whole. Now let's see if we can derive the state (government) from those definitions. We will start with a premise of scarcity. Real world has scarse goods. Another premise will be the needs of the people and their willingness to satisfy them using these scarse means. Again, we leave in the world of scarcity, where goods are limited, but human needs seem to have no limits. If you have scarse means and people chasing them you will inevitably run into conflicts for these means. People will eventually engage in actions, that cannot be both completed in the same time. An example would be a Crusoe and Friday on an island. Crusoe wants to use a stick to spearfish, Friday wants to use a stick to stoke his fire. We have a conflict, these actions cannot be done in the same time. So how do you avoid these conflicts? Using property rights. Private property rights specifically. If we expand this experiment a little bit and say, that Crusoe was the one to find the stick first, then he has the ultimate right to use this stick in a way he wants. Conflict avoided. What if we use the socialist communal ownership idea on this example. Does it help avoid the conflict? In a system of communal ownership the Crusoe and Friday both equally own the stick. This does not mitigate the conflict over its usage, in fact it makes conflict unavoidable, since it allows both people to simultaneously use a single scarce good. How can socialist system mitigate this problem? First, we have to add atleast 1 person to the experiment, otherwise Crusoe and Friday will have to fight it out. Now, when we have 3 people owning everything on an island including a stick we can have a vote over who will get to use the stick. Suppose Friday wins the vote. Crusoe has to be forced to give the stick away. We can get 2 conclusions. 1. Socialist property rights theory does not help us avoid conflicts, in fact it makes them unavoidable. 2. Socialist system requires some entity that will have the power to resolve all conflicts over scarce goods including the conflicts with itself. This entity is also referred to as a *state* or a *government*. Making it democratic does not eliminate the state. This is obvious even by the etymology of words (which in this case also synonymous to their meaning, linking to etymology just illustrates it better) Democracy - rule of the people. Anarchy - no rulers. Anarchy is antidemocratic. Democracy is statist. Since socialism can't offer us anything better than a direct democracy, socialism is statist. I will discuss your historical examples in a follow-up comment.

''Private property'' as mentioned in the video is NOT the house or the car of the worker. It refers to the means of production which you mentioned a second later. Communism isn't advocating for abolition of PERSONAL belongings, Private property refers to who owns the means of production

Correction: This video states that Socialism and Communism works to right the wrong of Capitalism, which is exploitation of the workers and wealth disparity between the rich and the poor. Socialism and Communism both have problems with exploitation of workers and wealth disparity. Both take advantage of their workers by forcing those with higher skilled jobs not being allowed to use their higher skills. The reason for this is simple: why work harder when you will still be paid the same? In Socialism and Communism, there are those who are wealthy and those who are poor. In fact, the disparities between the rich and poor are even greater. Under Capitalism, the main driving force is the concern and welfare for others. This is the driving force. The reason is simple: If you neighbor doesn't like you or your product, they choose to pick a different product. Under Socialism and Capitalism, the choices of goods and services are diminished, due to the government control over means of production. This results in greater dependence on government choices than on your own needs and wants. There is greater freedom in a capitalist system. Finally, even capitalism has its own faults; but when compare to the other choices, it is far superior.

@taylorholmes9329

Жыл бұрын

Wow. Basically wrong on every level. Neither Socialism nor Communism disallow higher skilled labor from pursuing those jobs. Cuba, arguably the most communist country, is internationally recognized for its healthcare force; 8.2 doctors per thousand people, 3x the amount in the US and with a lower mortality rate amongst its citizens. The reason for this is simple: the government spends a quarter of its budget on healthcare and another quarter on education. Despite not being paid much more than the average citizen, people are still entering the field of healthcare. Why work harder when you will be paid the same? Well, (and get this it may seem radical but) they actually *enjoy their work and helping people*. Woah. In Socialism, there are those who are wealthy and those who are middle-class because their basic necessities like food, shelter, and healthcare are provided by the government. In Communism (which has never been achieved) the class divide between wealthy and poor is abolished along with currency and private ownership of industry. Wealth inequality is greater in more capitalist countries and this is an actual fact. Do your own research. The US is ranked #4 in wealth inequality, just ahead of Brazil. Compared to countries with the least inequality: Norway, Denmark, Finland, & Sweden, all countries with robust social welfare programs. Europe’s lower inequality levels are mainly explained by a more equal distribution of pretax incomes rather than by more equalizing taxes and transfer systems. Under Capitalism, the main driving force is the maximization of profit and the accumulation of wealth. People want to be rewarded for their ingenuity, investments, and economic risks undertaken. The reasoning is simple: humans are self serving by nature but as long as everyone seeks the fulfillment of their own self interest, the material needs of the whole society will be met. Like, literally read The Wealth of Nations. "Under Socialism and Communism, the choices of goods and services are diminished, due to the government control over means of production." What do you mean by choices? "This results in greater dependence on government choices than on your own needs and wants." As opposed to dependence on the supply and demand of the market which can not be easily redressed for public grievances? "There is greater freedom in a capitalist system." Maybe for a few people who have made it to the top. The rest of us have to grind regardless. ah yes the "freedom" to work for low wages here rather than there. everything is on the individual and there's no way to tackle systemic issues such as wealth disparity or worker exploitation. Read up on the history of the US in the early 20th century. This is why socialist principles, like the "weekend" the "8 hour work day" and the "40 hour work week" became standardized. At least, in developed countries. Never mind the Global South... Purely capitalist countries based solely on the free market have never functioned as for the general welfare; it's kind of antithetical. The same can be said of purely socialist countries. That's why most developed countries have a mix of both, and the countries that have less wealth inequality and greater emphasis on social welfare have leaned more towards *surprise* Socialism.

In a properly run Capitalist society taxes are kept low and regulations kept reasonable to prevent that situation, in the current situation attempts to mix two apposed systems(between the misguided trying to help and the power hungry trying to phase in a more centralised system) have caused taxes and regulations to go out of hand.

what oversimplified drivel: socialism means little more than an attempt to achieve material equality through the imposition of high taxes on the wealthy to fund massive, mandatory welfare programs within a capitalist system. the major economic systems are in order of their historical emergence are: feudalism vs distributism vs capitalism vs collectivism vs corporatism. Syndicalism (worker-owned and run co-ops or syndicates) was developed later as a compliment to distributism and extends its central idea of widely dispersed ownership of productive properties to co-ops like schools, hospitals, mines and factories.

You are correct in a far right wing economy being capitalist but far right wing capitalism is literally fascism/ nazism hence the nazis being responsible for the term privatization and fascists defended private property (to be distinguished from personal property like your home, computer, toothbrush, etc.) vehemently.

This is wrong and misleading. It’s as simple as this.. Having ownership over the modes of production is the point of all of this. The modes of production are things like the land, the factory’s, the workplace, the state etc, things used as control and things used to produce things are the modes of production. Capitalist want individuals to hold total control and power over the modes of production privately. Socialist want no private ownership instead they want all members involved to hold democratic power over the modes of production, for example- workers owning the work place together democratically as a team would be socialist. A community owning the land together is socialist, the people owning the state democratically is socialist. Etc etc socialism is pure democracy over the modes of production by the members who are involved directly with it. It does not mean state owns things, the people do. Communism is a step out of socialism where it democracy over all modes of production is accepted as a norm and the state/ government can be abolished, class can be abolished, and private property can be abolished. Private property is not you’re car or you’re tooth brush, private property is property used to generate wealth off someone else. If the society is communist then everything the people produce is to be shared among the people. It’s a collective society where everyone works towards the betterment of society it’s self freely, the advancement of humanity would lie solely in the hands of the people and community’s themselves.

@@lukehelmore3146 I support socialism and communism both. I support both groups and all the factions and political groups of these ideas. The theory’s and methods to achieve it are a struggle forsure and the main reasons there so many different socialist/ communist groups. They often argue about how to achieve a socialism/ communism without being crushed by imperial powers. I enjoy listening to the back and forth debating that takes place between all the different groups like the anarchist, the democratic socialist, the authoritarian socialist the syndicalist, the Leninist, Maoist etc All of them wanna achieve the same goal in the end of cooperative and collective ownership of the people, for the people. But to create this system of human unity and workers solidarity its a real challenge for the reasons I’ll name below.. For one it’s obvious those in elitist positions of powers are not friendly to the idea of allowing such movements room to grow. For this very reason every attempt of workers mobilizing In solidarity not just in america but around the entire globe is almost always met with state oppression or violence from the capitalist state who protect the interests of the elitist class. In more large scale efforts to create the conditions that allow socialism or communism room to grow naturally they are always met with harsh economic sanctions and embargo’s ment to cripple and starve whole nations, or there met with foreign military invasions, coup attempts, assassinations, foreign meddling, manipulation, counter terrorism etc etc there’s always a big plot from elites nations to knee cap and destroy the effort. So coming at it from a democratic point of view the movement faces many challenges, a big one is propaganda used to divert the masses of people away from the subject or confuse everyone on the topic in general, although many European nations have had great grassroot success in creating socialist dominated city’s and towns that are almost completely worker owned/ democratically cooperatively run by the community’s and workers themselves, there are also often met with many obstacles, one being there government’s are always in favor of capitalist domination over cooperative dominance and they write laws and pass bills that target unions or workerplace democracy’s. Europe is still home to many grassroots socialist success story’s though. As for the rest of the world, Democracy is just not really an option for the 3rd world, there governments are extremely corrupted from all angles by foreign investors and monopoly capitalist of richer nations who aim to maintain control and dominance over global markets and major supply chains, some of there ties run back into the colonial era when capitalist established this global network through death, plunder and slavery. Other more recent developments were made through imperialist and fascist action. simply put they just pay desperate thugs good money to kill and scare people who organize and structure worker movements. Revolution seems like the 3rd worlds best option to escape the imperial strangle. They forsure have the hardest mountain to climb to escape capitalism and establish Socialism.

Missed out alot there on capitalism didn't you lol Hope you're enjoying you tube. ^_-V

It looks good on paper that's all

I would love to see a video where someone would compare these ideologies with fascism included. From my understanding if we were to view purely the economic aspects of it, it would be very similar to socialism as outputs of the country would be focused to achieve national goals, with controls over pricing production and allocation of resources. though from my understanding socialism de-emphasizes profits in ways that may be more discouraging from participants. I want to know more about these things and the stigma regarding certain ideologies and everyone using that word is many different ways makes it incredibly difficult to get a simple overview of what the word fascism really means since everyone bring up their own biases regarding it or try and explain it with very complicated perspectives and esoteric words. I refuse to be one of those people who uses the word merely as a label without knowing what it means, such thinking breeds discord between communities and only helps radicalize each other.

Actually, it's quite the opposite. Fascism is a form of capitalism. Capitalists under fascist regimes did very well. They almost owned workers, could force them work any hours, for minimal salary, prohibit to leave and oblige to buy the company's products - using "the nation's interest" as a false argument. They even encouraged their governments to start the expansion and conquer foreign countries to seize foreign markets. Fascism is widely considered as the highest stage of capitalism. Some people confuse socialism with fascism because Hitler and his party called themselves National Socialist German Workers' Party. But they had nothing to do with socialism and people of labour. At that time in Europe socialism was such a popular idea, that almost everybody called himself a socialist, because otherwise you couldn't gain any support from common people. So there is indeed a need to include fascism into the comparison to defuse the confusion.

​@@eugeneproff5404 I appreciate your insights into the economic aspects of fascism and its historical context. However, my initial inquiry wasn't influenced by the name 'Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei.' but rather just my interpretation of the systems themselves. I was interested in understanding the economic structures of the different ideologies and how they compare. I do sense a certain perspective in your response, and I wonder if it might be influenced by a particular view on capitalism. I'd be happy to hear what you have to say, however I would appreciate if you mellowed down your overarching statements when doing so.

socialism is good when the government is trustworthy, specifically with capitalist elements or backwards.

All the three came from the same people. You know them and don't ask me please.

Capitalism also has never been truly achieved, but at least it's theory allows for individual freedoms and liberties all forms of Collectivism inherently curtail dramatically. All forms of Collectivism predicate themselves on the expectation of altruism from an all too powerful government, which is foolish at best. Government is the problem, laissez-faire is the solution.

Capitalism is a concept as we know it only 300 years old! Attempt at socialism and communism happened only 120 years ago ! And the form of this system was pushed back! Only good old fashioned capitalism is hanging around stubbornly. You must take into account that 150 years ago only 75% of population on Earth did know how to read or write , no radio no television only religion kept them in line. Not one system survived, all were replaced and improved on, and changes arise from necessity and humanity’s collective ability to demand change

Well i am a proud socialist

Socialism and communism why do people from the USA still talk about this? Capitalism is for sure economically the best system anyway. But everything can be improved. I am European like many here I live in a country that adds social aspects to it. Important here is that besides the free market we choose freely and democratically that there is a high-quality health care, education that does not put us in debt for years, justice that is affordable and focuses on rehabilitating our prisoners who receive psychological guidance and training. Life imprisonment is the heaviest penalty and not the death penalty. Because we never want to have on our conscience that we as a society want to kill that one innocent among the 99 others who deserve it. The height of a civilization you see how people care/ treath the weakest and witch respect the people have for animal rights. Free to go and free to talk about everything. Critical because our next chalenge is our energy, transport and innovation to become as green as possible. Those challenges are inportent. Not systems who are dead or not by us in the west. It almost kept alive as a kind of enemy . Than it is not necessary to give people those certain social elements which have proven their usefulness and which one could consider as an insurance for much less crime and more well-being.Think politicians who are sponsored by industry and wall street are not really independent. Just like with us, there is still a lot of work to do.

My thought is that you forgot to mention how capitalism fights against the wrongs of communism and socialism. First you straight up didn’t mention that communist states never became fully communist because it’s impossible. And then didn’t point out that this didn’t stop the maniacs in charge from trying to make it happen anyway and literally killing more in the 20th century than the fascists. If you are trying to educate people I think it is pretty dishonest to not point out that communists were the most awful and murderous people of the 20th century, and considering the fascists murdered six million Jews that is a crazy amount of murder and oppression to gloss over. You also fail to point out that socialist systems are inherently authoritarian as they make everyone dependent on the the central authority of the government. With no private ownership everyone is working for state co., and if you do something state co doesn’t like then you are out of a job. You also fail to point out the advantage of capitalism is market pricing. The monopolies of socialist systems lead to deformations of price as there is no practical way to set realistic prices without an open market.

You forgot to explain fascism ?

In my opinion Socialism is best where social hierarchy and classes do not affect the country , furthermore the government divides their citizens equally. It has both economic and political views , adding on 'collective ownership of the means of production ' showing that the government is not the only one in control , but as already told legal production and distrubution is taken by the government. As shown the government are really considerate about their citizens they offer food and health supplies , as well as choosing the best prices for their people.

You confuse personal and private property. Communism doesn't seek to abolish personal property. (Something which I saw someone already commented on.) Also Communism may be said to be in opposition to liberal democracies, but not democracy as a whole. It's misleading to illustrate it as being in opposition to Democracy. A communist party also doesn't mean a communist state. Cuba, CCCP (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), and China are socialist states, led by a communist party. In China they have a consultative democracy, in Cuba they just had a referendum on the family code. I realize it's a 2 minute video, but its reductive nature perpetuates tropes that are used to antagonize entire other ways of life.

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry this video seemed misleading and needs some correction. I wasn't aware of the difference between Personal Property and Private Property under Marxist theory.

Under communism, "personal property" doesn't exist. Under that system, if somebody needs your toothbrush or one of your lungs more than you, that person has the right to take it from you, just because they NEED it more. "From each one according to their ability, to each one according to their NEED."
