I started off conservative but kept going further left. I started getting bored with my liberal groups because gradually, unknowingly, I had become communist...Lol I'm not sure what's next.

Oh man! It’s starting to get exciting.

Great video! Watched it with my partner just now. Really keen to see more. This is a really good series.

I fucking love your humoristic approach in explaining these highly complex topics. 😂😂

Thank you so much for your videos! I've always found it hard to understand Marxism and your videos make it fun to learn and understand it! Thank yooouuuu!!! 😍

Well done 👍✅

Great video! Very informative, thank you! :)

thank you so much for doing this i was able to easily understand and continue reading this textbook because of your vid.

This concedes that Use Value is subjective. Does Marx truly do so?

Very good video! Glad to have someone to read along with

I have made my way to the third book of "the capital". Im absolutely aware of the fact that marx addresses complicated and elaborate topics which also require an elaborate language. Complicated is fine. But that's too complicated.

the fetish aspect is very telling .. or opening .. doors in the closet of mind

Thanks

Thank you So Much❤️ Could you do Sraffa’s "Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities "?? ☺️

Great video but the music was a bit loud. Thanks for the info

A simple lack of economics is an astounding trait between Marx and his followers. Get people to act right first and then maybe we can have the libertarian society he wants

Das beautiful babe, reading Das Kapital!

This will come as a shock to many BUT here is no such thing as “Capitalism”, at least not as a primary social characteristic. The defining characteristics of “Capitalism” (non coercive / free economic and social culture) can not be separated from individual freedom that make a free open and just society possible in the form of the dynamic relationships between freedom of though, belief, opinion, speech, religion, expression, association, political equality, assembly, property rights, and basic human dignity. The term “ capitalism” is by definition an abbreviated reference to the interrelated complexities of a FREEDOM based social culture. The term ‘capitalism” is definitionally dependent on a deeper social reality that is the individual and social FREEDOM that premise the economic relations between free people in a free high trust society. To oppose ‘Capitalism” is to oppose the natural freedoms of all people are entitled to (see UDHR 1948) The term “ CAPITALISM” is simply an invented word to re-frame basic human rights and freedoms as“ economic factors” that should be controlled by a self serving elite. The fact is all FREE SOCIETIES are “ Capitalistic “ Societies and all coercion ( violence) based societies are socialist societies, where a selected “administrative caste” control or own the means of production. This has been the case since the Pharaoh and his “administrative caste” opposed the freedom of the Jews, to todays screwball dictators like Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, and Xi Jinping all of whom have oppressed every expression of freedom , and following the historic precedent of the Pharaoh oppressive to the Jewish people and todays wider Judeo-Christian culture. Many people do not realize that “Capitalism” is a historically recently invented term, invented to veil the destruction of individual freedoms under the banner of freeing people from “capitalism “, the reality being the only way to destroy ‘capitalism” is to destroy individual freedom. Too often the Cultural Leftists that use the term “capitalism” as a pejorative are ignorant of the racist , anti-Semitic discourse the term has long been a critical part of and invented to foster. The use of the term “capitalism” as a pejorative has its roots and contemporary use embedded in an ugly racist anti-Semitism that opposes the Jewish people, religion and hostility towards a wider Judeo-Christian culture. Capitalism is a term invented in the 19th century to control and redirect language , political discourse and the cultural narrative to favour an agenda designed to undermine the new freedoms of the era and justify a return to the old coercion based authoritarianism that historically privileged social control by a narrow elite. The kind of control over the economic and social lives of everyone else, once known as feudalism, but now manifests itself in any coercion based culture that is imposed by a self-serving “administrative caste”. Such feudalism or todays reinvented authoritarian caste systems was and is sadly the historic norm, where a small self serving elite that hides its pattern of coercion behind a King , a thug or ideological “theory” of one kind or another . From the Pharaohs, to the Stalin’s, Pol Pots, Robert Mugabe’s and todays Putin and Xi Jinping countless kings, emperors, ideological and political thugs have cultivated an elite that seeks economic control to further control all aspects of everyone’s life. A free society that respects basic HUMAN RIGHTS (see UDHR 1948) will by virtue of their citizen’s individual freedoms engaged both socially and economically will foster an open, accountable and growing social/cultural/ economic prosperity, prosperity reflected in their social and economic life. Such examples of successful of free societies compared to elite controlled societies abound, from comparing North Korea to South Korea, Twain to China, the (now failed) USSR to America such examples of economically free cultures out performing those deformed by social coercion are easy to find. The term “capitalism” was invented in the 19th century to facilitate the rhetorical framing, cultural diminishment and political attacks on the greater personal, social and economic freedoms that were defining the advent of modernity and modern life for everyone, in particular for the growing freedoms and influence of Jewish communities in Europe. The term ‘capitalism” is an early example of what George Orwell would later call ‘Doublespeak”, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublespeak a word that distorts or reverses the premise it purports to represent. Doublespeak disguises the nature of truth, often for political rationales. The invention of the term ”capitalism” is closely associated with the development of a new political language created to preserve the social control over “others” that a fading feudalism could no longer maintain. The 19th century term ‘Capitalism” was invented to re-frame the development of the cultural, social and economic freedoms that were transforming European life, and displacing the political hierarchies that had dominated life for centuries, and in particular the control and isolation of the Jewish people, and later the Judeo-Christian values that have been incompatible with “political hierarchies of control” since the time of Moses and the Pharaoh. The term ‘Capitalism” like many aspects of ‘Political Doublespeak” it is at best is so ill defined that it is often used with differentiated, even conflicting meanings by the same speaker in the same paragraph or debate. Adam Smith (a real economist) never uses the term “capitalism;” Instead, he uses “commercial society,” a phrase that emphasizes his belief that the economic is only one component of the human condition. For Smith, the market is a non-coercive even ethical mechanism of a higher morality and social support based in Abrahamic Law, (the 10 Commandments), then understood as an aspect of Natural Law and todays Human Rights norms (UDHR 1948). www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights Montesquieu attributed the economic and social and economic freedoms that were transforming Europe to the Jewish, (and later Judeo-Christian) values that had developed out of a long history of European cultural development, starting with the Roman invasion of Israel. The word “Capitalism” was invented as a term to reframe the Judeo-Christian values that are the basis of a successful open free economy and society by the French ( recall the extent of anti-Semitism in 19th century France) socialist Louis Blanc in 1850. The term proved to be useful as a rhetorical devise to undermine the growing economic and cultural freedoms people were enjoying, particularly amongst the Jewish people of Europe (Weber E. 1962). Jewish and Judo-Christian Cultural values that articulate the rights of the individual over the ‘collective tribe” which can be traced back to the 10 Commandments, Abrahamic Law and reflected in todays Human Rights Laws (UDHR 1948). See articles 18, 17, 19, 1, 3, 7, 12, 20- . Basic Human Rights today denigrated by Socialists, Marxist, the Politically Correct and the ideologically Woke. Sadly the term “capitalism” used as a pejorative is associated with a long history of racist anti-Semitism, (a narrative demeaning Jewish and Judeo-Christian values) and the rhetoric that justifies political norms incompatible with Jewish or Judeo-Christian cultural norms, and todays Human Rights norms. An imposed normaliziation of the violation of Abrahamic Law,(10 commandments) and Judeo-Christian values can be understood as a violation of basic human rights UDHR 1948 . To suggest as Cultural Leftists always do that “governments” are exempt from such constraints, is to place “governments” as man made constructs (beliefs) in violation of the first and second commandments that place God above man made beliefs, ideologies and nationalisms ( all pagan belief systems) and once again even more anti-Semitic. The term “Capitalism” has a long and sadly racist subtext in this kind of discourse, a discourse that fosters the spiritual, emotional and temporal imprisonment od otherwise free people. Socialists, Progressives, the Politically Correct, and the Woke, still use the term “Capitalism” to frame a myriad of social, economic, and cultural issues in racist anti-Semitic and Christophobic narratives, the history of which goes back to the master of such anti-Semitic rhetoric Karl Marx. Sadly such nonsense continues today with the Woke racists endlessly critiquing Israel, be it from established anti-Semites like Jermyn Corbyn of the UK Labour Party or the disproportionate critiques of open free societies (societies based in Abrahamic Law and todays UDHR 1948) that derives from the Marxism Dogmatists of the Frankfurt School, a critique that veils a racist anti-Semitic (and Christophobic) agenda. It is an agenda that can be most easily and quickly revealed by reference to basic Human Rights law such as the UDHR 1948. As always deconstructing the racist and anti-Semitic rhetoric of the Woke, Progressives, Socialists and Marxists is always fun … here is a nice example…exposing some early “Doublespeak” and deconstructing how the Racist Karl Marx updated anti-Semitism oldest racism in history with his economic Mumbo-Jumbo, - kzread.info/dash/bejne/pI6ckpOxgrLFgco.html

@@nightwitchsara Hi , thank you for your question. Well one can only judge what Karl Marx may or may not have believed from his writings, which of course in his case may not be as big a help as with more coherent writer . But from the erratic ramblings he left behind we know he was at best a confused individual , and one suffering from a host of emotional health issues , not least of which was his out right racism , a racism that would define his overall writings ... here are some actual quotes from this sad fellow.... The following Karl Marx QUOTES reveal his racist philosophy( and mental health issues) . “The Jewish n(word) Lassalle who, I’m glad to say, is leaving at the end of this week, has happily lost another 5,000 talers in an ill-judged speculation. The chap would sooner throw money down the drain than lend it to a ‘friend,’ even though his interest and capital were guaranteed. … It is now quite plain to me-as the shape of his head and the way his hair grows also testify-that he is descended from the negroes who accompanied Moses’ flight from Egypt (unless his mother or paternal grandmother interbred with a n(word)). Now, this blend of Jewishness and Germanness, on the one hand, and basic negroid stock, on the other, must inevitably give rise to a peculiar product. The fellow’s importunity is also n(word)-like.” Karl Marx, “Marx to Friedrich Engels in Manchester,” 1862 Tremaux “proved that the common Negro type is the degenerate form of a much higher one … a very significant advance over Darwin.” Karl Marx, letter to Friedrich Engels, August 7, 1866 “Without slavery, North America, the most progressive of countries, would be transformed into a patriarchal country. Wipe out North America from the map of the world and you will have anarchy- the complete decay of modern commerce and civilization. Abolish slavery and you will have wiped America off the map of nations.” Karl Marx, “The Poverty of Philosophy,” 1847 “Take Amsterdam, for instance, a city harboring many of the worst descendants of the Jews whom Ferdinand and Isabella drove out of Spain and who, after lingering a while in Portugal, were driven out of there too and eventually found a place of retreat in Holland. … Here and there and everywhere that a little capital courts investment, there is ever one of these little Jews ready to make a little suggestion or place a little bit of a loan. The smartest highwayman in the Abruzzi is not better posted about the locale of the hard cash in a traveler’s valise or pocket than these little Jews about any loose capital in the hands of a trader … These small Jewish agents draw their supplies from the big Jewish houses … and practice great ostensible devotion to the religion of their race.” Karl Marx, “The Russian Loan,” 1856 “What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money. … Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man-and turns them into commodities. … The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange. … The chimerical nationality of the Jew is the nationality of the merchant, of the man of money in general.” Karl Marx, “On the Jewish Question,” 1844 “This splendid territory [the Balkans] has the misfortune to be inhabited by a conglomerate of different races and nationalities, of which it is hard to say which is the least fit for progress and civilization. Slavonians, Greeks, Wallachians, Arnauts, twelve millions of men, are all held in submission by one million of Turks, and up to a recent period, it appeared doubtful whether, of all these different races, the Turks were not the most competent to hold the supremacy which, in such a mixed population, could not but accrue to one of these nationalities.” Karl Marx, “The Russian Menace to Europe,” 1853 “Thus we find every tyrant backed by a Jew, as is every Pope by a Jesuit. In truth, the cravings of oppressors would be hopeless, and the practicability of war out of the question, if there were not an army of Jesuits to smother thought and a handful of Jews to ransack pockets. … The fact that 1,855 years ago Christ drove the Jewish money-changers out of the temple, and that the money-changers of our age, enlisted on the side of tyranny, happen again to be Jews is perhaps no more than a historic coincidence.” Karl Marx, “The Russian Loan,” 1856 “The expulsion of a Leper people from Egypt, at the head of whom was an Egyptian priest named Moses. Lazarus, the leper, is also the basic type of the Jew.” Karl Marx, letter to Friedrich Engels, May 10, 1861 “Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were fantasy-mongers, that the Israelites were idolators … that the tribe of Simeon (exiled under Saul) had moved to Mecca where they built a heathenish temple and worshipped stones.” Karl Marx, letter to Engels, June 16, 1864 “Indian society has no history at all, at least no known history. What we shall call its history is but the history of the successive invaders who founded their empires on the passive basis of that unresisting and unchanging society.” Karl Marx, New York Daily Tribune, August 8, 1853 “Russia is a name usurped by the Muscovites. They are not Slavs, do not belong at all to the Indo-German race, but are des intrus [intruders], who must again he hurled back beyond the Dnieper, etc.” Karl Marx, letter to Friedrich Engels, June 24, 1865 All the best my friend

But what is the freedom, that capitalism creates? I need to go to work, to pay for my bills. Also, for example, art requires much more production time, and may have less use value for people, meaning I wouldn't have money and really do what I want, if art is my strong interest. I don't see this as "freedom". Yes, I can make decisions, but, they are predetermined or at least very restricted by capitalist system. So, it's not a freedom. The other question is how to really achieve freedom, and I don't think we need "run and kill capitalism", no, we need to think for long term, and try our best controling and making capitalism at least less bad in short term.
