    @@adventuresnorthwest3643 The problems of the USSR had to do with its competition with the United States. Their influence globally was drastically smaller than that of the US and was not founded on exploitation, so they simply couldn't compete. But they weren't left much choice as the US saw the success of the anti-bourgeoisie principle as an existential threat to its own credibility, hence needed to make the USSR fail by any means necessary. Ignoring the embargo's, propaganda and other aggressive anti-communist campaigns of the US, the USSR had to juggle its resources in both military and public welfare, all while rebuilding its economy from the globally unprecedented devastation WW2 had caused due to being the main theater of war unlike the rather uninvolved US. To do this most of its income had to come from the state capitalism, which created a dependency on the very system and corruption it paradoxically sought to abolish. It was the confounding public discontent after Afghanistan sunk it into an economic depression that the USSR collapsed. So ironically(not really), the downfall of the USSR had to do with its capitalist remnants that the US ensured to stay in place. It was not socialism, but the lack thereof that condemned it to economic collapse. In fact in every area were the USSR was socialized, which is to say public facilities(transport, healthcare, education), housing and essential needs, it was far superior to the United States.

    Stalinism as an ideology doesn't properly exist; in fact Stalin himself was not a "Stalinist," but a Marxist-Leninist. Stalinism simply refers to the policies enacted by Stalin, but he wasn't following his own separate ideology when forming or enacting those policies, he was simply following Marxist-Leninist thought

    Can you please point out where Marx prescribed dictatorship? If you can't, then you can't call Stalin a "marxist" - spoileralert: You can't. Two giant propaganda-machines have upheld the notion that the USSR was a communistic endeavour: The sovjets - in order to gain legitimacy within, and the US - to scare the world. Neither of them were right.

IT'S A PURE SCAM! THE SOCIALISM GIVES MORE POWER TO THE GOVERNMENT. THE COMMUNISM TAKES POWER AWAY FROM THE POWERFUL BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES IN CORPORATIONS. THEN THE GOVERNMENT SWOOPS IN AND TAKES IT. CORPORATIONS AND RICH COMPANIES ARE BAD BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO BE RULED BY A GOVERNMENT THEY ARE HORRIBLE. THESE CORPORATIONS DON'T OWN YOU, WHEN GOVERNMENTS TAKE OVER THEY OWN YOU. IN AMERICA IT'S PRETTY BAD FOR THE POOR AND LOWER CLASSES, BUT THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T JUST COME AND TAKE EVERYTHING YOU WANT UNLESS YOU BORROWED MONEY AND DIDN'T PAY BACK. A CAPITALIST DEMOCRACY + SOCIALISM, AND A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING REPUBLIC, WITH NO CORRUPTION IS THE ULTIMATE SYSTEM.

    saying that wanting equality is being envious is extremely shallow. Capitalism wants to sell the idea that anybody can be crazy rich if they work hard enough, but these are all fairy tales. To climb the social ladder is nearly impossible for many and most of the time is based on luck. of course elon musk had it easier, his father was rich ti begin with, so his son could study and invest on the empire he has today. but what if he was born in a poor village of Ethiopia? we would have never heard of him. or what if he worked in a sweatshop? do you think that "with enough hard work" he would be where he is today? Plus it is very simplistic to think that poor people are poor because they put themselves in that situation, that is just not true. "work harder and maybe you will have it better" do you think that those kids digging for gold and silicon 14h a day for maybe 2 dollars a day is not working hard? and the ceo who is making them work is probably working harder, right?

    A Revolutionary Fox lmao the Frankfurt school didn't even exist in Marx's time. In 1880 Marx was assisting French socialists in writing the program for the Worker's party of France. Marx did help the party in writing the program but had some serious disagreements with them. Marx had issues with demanding better work conditions and wages from the bourgeoisie. This is where the quote comes into proper context. Marx wanted to destroy the idea that if demanding such reforms from the capitalists is believed to be mainstream Marxism, then he is not a Marxist. "Cultural Marxism" academically speaking, is defined by 3 groups of neo-marxist theorists (labelled The Frankfurt School's 'Cultural Marxism', The Birmingham School's 'British Cultural Marxism', and E.P. Thompson's 'Thompsonian Cultural Marxism') - all of whom critiqued aspects of "mass culture". The Frankfurt School started it all by describing The Culture Industry. Adorno writes things like this in his critique of The Culture Industry: "The dependence of the most powerful broadcasting company on the electrical industry, or of the motion picture industry on the banks, is characteristic of the whole sphere, whose individual branches are themselves economically interwoven." They were the first thinkers to realize there was a 'corporate media' which pushed it's own corporate values and agenda. Adorno says things like: "The Culture Industry not so much adapts to the reactions of its customers as it counterfeits them." The Frankfurt School didn't like pop-culture at all, the Culture Industry Wikipedia page says "Adorno and Horkheimer especially perceived mass-produced culture as dangerous to the more technically and intellectually difficult high arts" - so they believed pop-culture was a risk to Western Civilization. The Birmingham School came after The Frankfurt School and quite liked British Working Class culture. The founders of The Birmingham School were WW2 vets, and their complaints focused on the 'cultural drift' away from the strong, local, community based cultures which they loved, and towards a more bland globalized culture (a process they called "massification"). Other theorists such as Max Horkheimer (of The Frankfurt School) rallied against the application of science without morality. He called this "instrumental reason" and took the Kantian moral position that reason without morality could cause nightmares (such as the application of science during the Holocaust). The Frankfurt School were big against the Holocaust, and contributed to the Nuremberg Trial - which later led to the creation of modern medical ethics boards. This has all somehow been misconstrued as their attack on Western Civilization - even though The Frankfurt School were specifically trying to protect the arts from pop-culture. Later Frankfurt School theorists such as Jurgen Habermas, and Nancy Fraser have specifically critiqued things like Post-Modern relativism and even Identity Politics. The term "Cultural Marxism" has since become a right wing misrepresentation of the (left wing) Frankfurt School. It's now tied into the theory they were "International Jewish Communists" trying to "Destroy American Academia and Hollywood". You can judge whether that's true for yourself.

    There is a Natural law, popularly known as the 80/20 principle. It's a natural law because till now it has always manifested itself in all fields of Reality. And one of the fields is Economics. The minority of the population will always hold the Majority of wealth and the Majority will always own the minority of wealth. Carl Marx observed this in all Capitalistic economies and created a system he thought would avoid this major flaw. And Marxism did just that. No longer did the 20%(or less) own 80% of wealth. Now, only 1% owned almost everything. In short, a state will always be divided into a small number of rich and a large number of poor. Why? It's a natural law. How? I don't know.

Not all of them are equally effective to pruduce goods and services. For example a man with higher interpersonal intelligence is good at understanding and interacting with people. So he has a better potential to create an industry than a man with higher philosopical intelligence. Now it will be very stupid and unjust to forcefully bring them at a similar economic class. The person who can produce more for the society will earn more that's the right thing to do. And many brilliant person will remain poor just because their intelligence is not able to generate that much for others. And wealth is nothing but cumulative income of multiple generations. Wealth didn’t come from sky. One valid arguement is that why people should inherit the total property of their parents. Its true that incompetent people get lucky this way without having any real ability. This is the thing i don’t understand. Should a person have wealth which he could not earn otherwise?

    If you incur the risk you should get the benefit. If a company were to go bankrupt the CEO has to pay the downside and pay off all the debt he incurred while the worker is just out of a job. If you work in a factory with a lot of machines and gadgets the owner had to buy the gadgets with his money to make your labor more productive so that the production of said product can be done faster.

    I’m skeptical when people assert that practical examples of socialism/communism in the real world aren’t valid forms. You could just as easily conclude that the faults of capitalism aren’t actually conceptual, but rather due to poor utilization of the system in recent years. One thing that I don’t think many people understand is it’s one thing to conceptualize a system among economic philosophers, but it’s a completely different thing to implement that system in the real world. Human nature and the nature of human societies isn’t something that we can always account for when conceptualizing these systems, and with past evidences of what this video asserts were pseudo-communist countries, it’s not clear to many people that communism produces its promised effects. Even if we were to implement an overwhelmingly socialist or communist system in the USA, I’m not sold on the idea that it will just work out better than it has throughout history.

Governments came under pressure to do something about it - to create a ‘fix’ for capital. So they attacked unions and gutted labour laws in order to drive the cost of wages down, and they privatised public assets that had previously been off limits to capital - mines, railways, energy, water, healthcare, telecommunications and so on - creating lucrative opportunities for private investors.
