Public vs Private | The Historic Definitions of Socialism & Capitalism
Many people do not know the difference between the Public and Private Sectors of Society. This is why oxymoronic terms like "State Capitalism" exist. Well, starting in Ancient Greece and Rome and moving forwards in time, we will show what the Public Sector and Private Sectors of the economy are, how they're defined, and explain what both Capitalism and Socialism are and why they are that as well. These are the actual historic definitions and meanings backed up by the sources listed in the pinned comment, at the beginning of the video, and references will be included at the bottom of the screen.
The script for this history video was 12,523 words. And yes, this is a history video. I am neither National Socialist, Fascist, Marxist Socialist or anything else like that. And as you can tell if you watch this video in full, I am absolutely NOT promoting any of these evil ideologies in the slightest.

History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.
This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made. #history

Ian jedi Dude, the “capitalist” ruling class, only exists because of big government at least in the US. You can tie half the billionaires back to some sort of government official within their family, bill gates grandpa. Or government contracts that gives them an advantage. That is not capitalism that’s state capitalism which in essence means. You guessed it, socialism. They were paid by your tax dollars to get to where they are at. A capitalist won’t have the ability to create armies and use them, but a socialist will. The government won’t save you, and if you spin a revolution to create a new one, you are gonna end up with the same problems, if not worse. The only solution is less government.

I've never watched a more well researched and thought out video on this topic than this one. You made everything so much easier to understand. I love how each word and each definition, you made it a point to break it down, so we're all on the same page, and build it up again back to the main topic. Every other channel would just assume you have the pre requisite to understand some of these academic political and economic terms, however you explained them properly so that a beginner (such as myself) could understand. I also very much appreciate the color coding of the words which also just made things so much easier. All in all, just bravo sir, this presentation was amazing and I'll be sure to watch more of your content.

Public companies defined as state sector is certainly quite eye-opening and I think it can explain some of the ills in today's world. The lack of a single owner who is individually responsible for the company's actions and intends to stay for the long-term essentially means that company's management only cares about short-term gains because each owner is very small and can immediately sell their shares if needed. Not to mention "too big to fail" businesses that are essentially states in themselves which can extract resources from society for their own survival. Unsurprisingly, too big to fail companies are mostly publicly-listed banks, large industrial conglomerates and state-owned businesses which have a vast amount of owners and hence it is "moral" for the state to rescue them.

That is an assumption and you are making a bizarre attempt at mindreading "... you offer no actual rebuttals..." Oh but I did and just because that it is difficult for you to grasp doesn't mean I haven't thoroughly done so in a one paragraph post. The facts are I did with sound logic and objective fact. Just because you don't find your confirmation bias in my statement of facts doesn't mean I didn't factually offer a full rebuttal based in facts. "because you know that would require you to actually look at his sources..." More mindreading and assumptions and I could not only factually say I have looked at his whole video and his sources, but I could also make a strong case that I have read more of his sources than he has because of his poor grasp of these sources and the conclusions that many of them outright refute on their own merit. I could certainly say that I factually understand them better than he does and that I factually surpass his knowledge and understanding of the subject. "... and you might actually change your mind." More assumption masquerading as fact because the argument is an intellectual polished turd with conflicting sources and he cannot factually prove his premises. So NO! "Capitalism is not a government system.." You don't say? Are you assuming again? I never asserted that it was and it was TIK who asserted I would say that in another turd polishing segment. It is an economic system, that as a sum of it's parts, has a government as an obvious component. Do you see the important distinction and key difference? That is why this argument can be refuted so easily because it originates in broken logic and foolish beliefs misrepresented as facts. "...it is an economic practice." No the practice is just a repeated process that is a component and one that is economic in nature. As I have stated already it is an economic system, a sum of it's parts, and conflating distinctly different terms and concepts is as broken as the rest. NOW, my factual rebuttal was in the first post here and you can make your case or rebuttal here and now. Just as I told your buddy TIK and who has not made an appearance despite being called out and asked to refute a single sentence argument. I may not be able to factually back this statement that follows but he seems a lot like a little squirel who is quietly and unceremoniously guarding his nuts by refusing to even defend his extraordinary claim and simply keeps polishing more turds with sources as he posts more multi hour videos using sophistry to mask the deficiency of his work.

Whenever I looked more into WW2 with Communism and Fascism, I’ve always wondered what really made them different as they seemed pretty much the same to me in terms of how they functioned. Learning that they are the same thing but just on different scale is amazing. I’m glad you were able to put this together and confirm what I thought for last few years.

You have been lied to. I could never understand as a kid how a stock market downturn in 1929 could affect the whole world, especially since the market recovered within 6 months and then started a long decline as the government tried to help us more and more. I remember every teacher telling us we get a depression after a war ends, but they could not explain how we were living in a post-war boom in the 50's.In fact according to my teachers "post-war boom" was an oxymoron. The answer is that according to the government metrics on the economy we were in a really really deep depression until 1964, but we did not notice because the drop off in the economy was government spending. Shows you that the government statistics you have seen all your life are a lie, or at least do not measure what they claim to measure.

@35:00 This seems to be a contradiction to your previous statement. You said that big businesses don't count as "private" or "capitalist" and cannot exist on their own because it would be too hard to internally manage them. But then praise Vanderbilt for competing with a state monopoly, thus becoming a big business monopolist himself, which I thought wasn't possible without state help? You also seem to inherently associate all corporations with publically traded ones, even though there are many privately traded large corporations like Koch Industries, IKEA, and Rolex. This seems to fly in the face of your assertion capitalism can only stand for small-scale, local, independently run businesses, and free competition will just naturally prevent large corporations from forming. Unless you are really going to try to say that Koch Industries is a small mom & pop operation. Furthermore, you say that big businesses find it extremely difficult to calculate internal prices efficiently, but is this inefficiency really large enough to hamper net growth of the company, and how does state funding even remedy this? As I've said, there are plenty of large, privately traded corporations that exist and turn a profit. Also, it doesn't really make sense to say that publically traded corporations don't count as capitalist simply because anyone can buy stocks. Sure, ostensibly anyone _can_ buy a share in the company, but ultimately, the *ownership* is still in private hands, and the majority shareholders that hold the actual *power* in the company, the ones who can make all the decisions, are ultimately private individuals. It really seems like you are stretching or restricting what counts as "capitalist" according to what you think is good or not, and relegate every bad outcome of capitalism to "not real capitalism." Is this not the exact same thing as the "not real socialism" argument that you decry from socialists? If, as you say at 59:32, that "left to free-market forces, the central state would collapse," what is stopping the "small private individuals" from banding together and forming unions, thus, by your definition, states? Is a stateless society even possible? As a historian, surely you realize the innate human proclivity to form groups and cooperate? If the state collapsed due to the power of the free market, then who would enforce claims to property or laws? Can there even _be_ laws without a state to enforce them? Would private security and firefighting agencies replace the tax-funded state ones? I'm not sure the Crassus model is something most people would like. This vehement opposition you have to seemingly anything government-related seems a bit counterproductive and not well thought out. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you really seem to define socialism as anytime a government or "state" has control and does something. If this is the case, then by that logic, are not absolute monarchies socialist? Wouold you really argue that monarchies are on the left side of the spectrum? Couldn't you say that socialism has always existed since the dawn of every human civilization? If so, then this seems to be a bit of a muddied definition of socialism and makes it an incredibly non-specific term, which I'm not sure was your intention.

It's never too late to learn, like I did when I stumbled upon this.
After 40 years and a degree in political philosophy, you just turned my conceptual understanding of capitalism on its head. If big business is part of the state, albeit a different type or aspect of what we traditionall call 'the state', advocating capitalism is really about freedom for the broad base of society: individuals and small business, the private sector. Perhaps building a co-operative is now more capitalist than a proprietary company because it's less hierarchical in its power structure, and its objective is not to go public (not to mention Zombie companies) but to distribute profits among those that created the value. Which, following capitalism, would be actual value, not a financial hoax as more and more often associated with big business (again: zombie companies).
This is, in my opinion, the greatest and most important video on the internet.
"the holocaust is when no free markets" sounds so stupid on the surface, but it's actually incredibly based and true. Great vid, TIK. You are doing God's work.
The notion that capitalism is anti big corporations and anti-monopoly is absurdly ahistorical and not how business works. Every small businessman naturally seeks to monopolize his market and squeeze out all competiton. This would still happen even without any state involvment. And in fact, historically, it has taken the state to bust such monopolistic practices. If you actually study anything about how business and venture capital works, every venture captialist is looking to invest in a company that has monopoly potential. Companies like Facebook, Google, Microsoft, etc started out a small businesses and all became monopolies, not because of the state, but due to capitalism and free market forces. And the only reason these companies don't own your children is because the state has the size and power to stop them. If there was no strong state, all these corporations would hire private militaries and use them to enslave everyone else and monopolize the market even further until no free markets remained at all. The reason Facebook doesn't own nuclear weapons and tanks is because the state stops them. Don't forget that! This video presents a badly twisted, biased, and ahistorcial notion of capitalism, blaming all the evils of capitalism on socialism. Socialism has its evils, but that doesn't absolve the evils of capitalism. Small businesses are NOT motivated to feed hungry people, they are motivated to maximize profit and monopolize markets, making markets frozen and not free. If capitalists were truly motivated to feed hungry people, there would be no hungry people. Be careful listening to this guy. He sounds intelligent at first but if you actually understand history and business, this is a joke. Big business, especially in America, is pure capitalism, not socialism. In general, dividing society into capitalist/socialist, private/public, is a childishly oversimplified frame of how things works. Society had always been a complex mix of public and private agendas. Neither side of this distinction is good or bad. It's the balance which is crucial. Btw, given how broadly this guy defines "socialism", every society in human history was socialism, from the Greeks till today. You know you definition of things is twisted when not a single society on Earth fits your definition of "capitalism". This is the same mistake that socialists make when they claim that "real" socialism hasn't been tried. Well, likewise, "real" capitalism hasn't been tried because it would lead to Facebook owning nuclear weapons and enslaving your children in coal mines. As impractical as real socialism is, real capitalism is even less practical, which is why it doesn't exist. There has never been such a thing as a free market. All markets have alway been manipulated by state and non-state actors for personal gain. Because obviously. That's what all business boils down to: biased market manipulation in your favor.

"When you say Socialism you exclude workers co-operatives and the British Co-operative Wholesale Society?" Is two-girls one-cup real socialism?

You can tell it's a bad way of running a business, otherwise all businesses would be running it that way, which they don't, and those that didn't would struggle to compete. In reality, "cooperatives" are inefficient and unfair, which is why they struggle to retain their managers and employees. If it's a large corporation which classifies itself as a cooperative, but has shareholders, then that's part of the public sector. If then all of society was a "cooperative" (aka, Corporatism) then that would be socialism (either Fascist or Marxist, depending on if it's a cooperative on the national level, or a cooperative on the international level). "When you say Capitalism you exclude big bs and bivg government " Yes, since Capitalism is Private Sector control of the economy, and corporations and governments are Public Sector entities.

Because to have a monopoly you need to form a cartel, a syndicate a corporation (all public entities), that lobbies the state to cut off competition or try to make it almost impossible for newcomers to enter and undercut them with a better, cheaper product or service. It is a despicable thing and if a private company would ever try that you can just pick the private individual and investigate or punish him. Public companies have no fear of that (also the risk is shared with the public), and they put politicians in power to prevent or minimize this risk.
@marcofogli4317

just to clarify monopolies is different from a dominant position: one is exclusive control, the other is the most successful on the market (the market finds their product or services as the most beneficial and rewards that by choosing them over the competition). A monopoly can be one company or a cartel (tobacco, alcohol in some countries are an example) of several companies (either openly or just with a shared agenda pretending to compete to avoid anti monopoly regulations), in this case you have no choice, you must consume from the cartel or resign completely from benefiting from the product or service: they take your choices away. Most monopolies are actually covert cartels because corporations control indirectly many different companies so when they are accused of monopolistic behavior they can get away with it with only neglectable damages and maintain the monopolistic cartel alive (several computer software, media, internet, telephone, credit corporations use this strategy). I think monopolies and corporations in general are a dirty evil thing.

@@TheImperatorKnightFinding out that Nazism exploited socialist socialist ideology more than anything else. I don't understand how by pure ideology one cannot distinguish ideologues like Gramsci from ideologues like Stalin or Hitler. By the way, the so-called "libertarian socialism" is a term used in political science. More than opening your eyes you have simply started repeating what every liberal says. In doubt, since we like to associate without any distinction socialism to Hitler (And no, doing public works and nationalizing and creating social groups and having a "workers" party does not mean being a Marxist, at best it is a heavy form of revisionism),I advise everyone to read "counter-history of liberalism" by domenico losurdo.

I can agree with the fundamental position of private ownership being efficient through functioning prices, and I'm really glad you brought up the increasing similarity between increasingly larger companies and states. However, from a philosophical standpoint, and outside the additional reliance on price, a small and large company are fundamentally the same in that they are internally authoritarian. The market as a whole may avoid totalitarian control through choice and competition and so I can come to terms with this as a whole, but every business is otherwise it's own unit dictatorship. I find that this presents a danger much the same as the socialist state. If companies are able to naturally grow to their current sizes absent of the influence of the state, then any element of the private sector may become public as the company effectively assumes the role of THE state. You say that companies naturally collapse to smaller forms due to the inefficiencies of central planning, but there are other competing factors, such as mass markets, or the simplicity of interacting with fewer suppliers and buyers, or even chance, that will favour larger corporate structures that may propel them to the scale of overriding the government. While I certainly agree that the government certainly has abused it's power to create or maintain monopolies in the past, it may at least in theory serve as a protector from such companies with ambitions of attaining power. Do you think the presence of a state placed under obligations and limitations is necessary to prevent an economically-elected unaccountable dictatorship? For example many tech companies have free reign right now due to them occupying an entirely new market. As such they've become extremely powerful and abuse their power with harsh penalties, selective application of their rules, and ideological and partisan activism. Even though some of these companies received public funding in the past, they're certainly serving the private sector right now aren't they? As such I can't help but see a need for and welcome regulation restricting them. Alternatively consumers may simply choose not to use these services, or use alternatives from competition, but many simply do not or can not, and as such it becomes similar to a tyranny of the majority, wherein the majority is whatever proportion of people supporting the company that it takes to keep it afloat, except that it needn't even be a majority. And then these companies can remove their competition (eg. Parler) not through the government state, but through pressuring other companies. As you put it, they become the state; the state of the internet.

"the idea of totally unrestricted free market capitalism being the solution to all problems is equally stupid." I never said it was the solution to all problems. I said it was better than socialism and communism, especially for the workers. "here's the simple fact that with limited space and resources, a growth based economy cannot be sustained indefinitely." So you need to make the best of the limited resources you have. This is what capitalism does many times better than socialism. Also, a capitalism economy corrects itself all the time. The boom bust cycle though is a central-banking / fractional reserve banking / government exasperated problem (thus a public sector problem), not a problem with capitalism. I explained this in the video.

While I don't consider IP to be tangible property and hence not legitimately protected under natural law, an individual should be able to retain ideas they keep secret. Once shared you can always claim to be the original author and substantiate that claim for the purpose of recognition and business, but cannot claim monopoly. Using Cody's example, you could freely expose any blatant plagiarism but have no legal recourse. I believe this keeps a much freer and fairer market place where reputation is more important than what patents you hold.

Capitalism is NOT limited just to small ma and pa stores and it will apply to big corporations as well. Because in the end, profit is a major goal in any liberal, capitalist, free market economy. You an have a small ma and pa store... but if it doesn't sell anything... it can and will go under. They still have to make a profit in order to keep the business running. That doesn't change, regardless of the size or scale of the company in question. Saying that a large corporation isn't Capitalist because is large or has a larger group that supports it is like trying to argue that a Lutheran isn't Christian because they have some differences of theology from Catholics. For in the end, while many of the specific actions and functions in a large company may be different than a small ma and pa store, they're still having to respond to fluctuations in the market based on price, supply, and demand. Back in the late 80s to early 90s America used to have a relatively thriving comic market. All the major companies were doing well in Marvel, DC, and some others. They sold well and capitalized on that boom. In this, you had a fair number of stores that opened up that sold comics and sold them exclusively. You could go to any gas station or grocery store and their magazine section would also likely include some comics as part of their selection. Flashforward to today though... those companies are vanishing. The demand for comics has gone down, and while Marvel and DC are still highly popular... they're about the only ones that have really survived and much of this has been more due to going digital with regard to their comics and diversifying into movies... particularly with the MCU. About the only place where you can reliably buy physical copies (outside of a direct subscription) of comics today are in major bookstores... and many of them are beginning to close out to both electronic books and mail order companies like Amazon. If this continues... I'd think that eventually, the only way to read comics will be on a computer PDF file, saving on paper, and that most of the money that companies like Marvel and DC make will be through movies. Which shows that despite being big companies, they're still having to respond to changes in the market and the law of supply and demand... If being big made them some form of "Socialism," Marvel and DC would just show up at random teenager's door with a gun in one hand, a paper comic in the other and saying, "buy this, or else." In this, big companies can be just as capitalistic as ma and pa stores. The exact methods may differ, but their core responsibility in responding to the market is the same. And then highlights the issue where large companies like Walmart in America have put lots of small businesses in America out of business because the small businesses couldn't compete with Walmart's prices... And now Amazon seems to be doing that to Walmart in the latest episode of "as the market turns." And a "free market" does NOT prevent monopolies from forming. Things like greed can be a very human condition. That isn't something that is attributable to only one group. Which means if the market is free and devoid of any interference there is every bit the potential that someone who is greedy can come in and work within it to ultimately build his own monopoly to the point where his business has either outspent or undercut its competition. Now, this may fundamentally change the nature of the market in question... and thus the market isn't "free" once the monopoly is established, but without someone saying that you can't try to crush your opposition at all costs... that means that a "free market" is inherently vulnerable to that very possibility. And thus why during America's Progressive Era there are various anti-trust laws that were passed that were designed to protect competition within the economy. Thus essentially trying to preserve what makes Capitalism work, competition. Those anti-trust laws wouldn't be on the books if a "free market" was invulnerable to monopolies... Though... the interpretation of these laws are often mixed. In 1915 the Federal League, following interference from the Major Leagues (American and National League) folded as a business. The last gasp of the league was to sue Major League Baseball under the charge that MLB was in violation of Federal Anti-Trust laws. The case was decided in 1922 and the end ruling was that the law that the Federal League had sued on the basis of did not apply to Major League Baseball. See: supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/259/200/ Does this make MLB "Socialist" because its free of competition? Most of the owners would probably disagree and the ruling probably wouldn't be an endorsement of Socialism, either. It's more representative that we are all human and some times humans will make mistakes and errors in judgement or have different interpretations of specific issues... Because capitalism is not small ma and pa stores. And the political spectrum should not be mapped on what one's economics are.

Capitalism as an economic system has proven highly successful, largely due to its flexibility. TIK, though, has talked about it as though it were some perfect system with no flaws in it. That is impossible, as like many things man has made... it has its flaws in it. The issue of greed is one of those potential flaws, regardless of whether or not the market is completely free or not. Just as things like greed would also be a flaw for things related to government corruption. Because greed is in and of itself a very human flaw. Thus its something that transcends all things. Now one can argue that for the most part things like competition and the inherent flexibility of the capitalist economic system have helped combat those that are greedy from manipulating the system, but that still doesn't mean that the potential flaw isn't there regardless. And one cannot understand the whole of a concept without understanding both its potential strengths and weaknesses. Thus neither can one fully defend the same concept without understanding how a system's strengths overcome its weaknesses.

@@rikhoogendam7560 - On the small level agree. Often because at the smaller levels, that's where the flexibility and competition that's built into the Capitalist system is naturally stronger. But that doesn't necessarily mean that once things become "bigger" that they suddenly become "not-capitalism." The specific system for the company becomes more complex, yes, as more is needed to manage the larger company. And often the individual "in charge" of the company still has a fair amount of control over it and makes money from it. The point where a major company becomes "socialized" would be when the government directly takes ownership of it. And I'm sure that will happen with some specific businesses from time to time, but not with EVERY business. And that's where things can become complicated.

@@TheImperatorKnight Social ownership of the means of production has never meant state ownership and control. Worker cooperatives for example are controlled by the workers working there and thus are socially owned (by a social body, as in the definition of public ownership en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_ownership ), but in no way the state owns these companies. You make up your own definition of public ownership in the video, but that is not the actually used and accepted one, as in the Oxford dictionary, and thus holds no value. The state is not the only social instance that can control things, you know? Companies can be democratically owned and managed, which is a socialist concept, as it involves no private ownership. The left/right split, that originates from the french revolution and is the most common left/right split actually had authoritarians sitting on the right and liberals sitting on the left, as it was not a economically free/unfree split. It was a split between people believing in the values of the enlightenment and the ones that don't. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left%E2%80%93right_political_spectrum All our modern Politics can not be put into a one-dimensional model, you are delusional, if you really think so. Not even the two-dimensional model is enough, Politics will never fit on a simple diagram. Economics is just a part of politics, it should never constitute the biggest part of an ideology, as it is just a way to distribute resources, but you make it your whole ideology. Economically free/unfree does not mean socially free/unfree. Free market economies produce huge monopolies and these companies can buy competition with the riches of whole nations. We can observe this in the US, compared to most european countries it is very economically free and it produced the biggest monopolies in the world. Companies influence US politics with huge amounts of money (bribery is also a thing), is this really democratic? I don't think so The reality is that many people do not have the freedom to just quit their job, when they are exploited, as their social and economical status makes them dependent and all this just because they were born into a poor family. All the rights that protect these people come from socialist ideas. Capitalists care for the riches and will only give the worker an amount of money that makes him happy enough to not rebel in large quantities. Companies are aiming for the largest profit and constantly underbid each other when it comes to payment of workers. Why did the average efficiency of a worker increase by 80 percent over the last 20 years, but the wages stayed the same (www.epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/)? Because profit counts and without state protection the wages would have probably even went down. The average living standard in countries with bigger social policies (Denmark, Norway, Sweden...) is higher than in more free market economies (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Human_Development_Index I know it is not a perfect index, but better than nothing), which also shows the effectiveness of social policies and that free markets do not mean free people.

About Jesus: the teachings as they stand in the new testament came from somewhere. They did not come up from a vacum, but rather in the oldest Jewish law. As it stands in the bible, that law clearly states that the indiviual was responsible for their own actions - in a fashion. For example, it stated that a parent could not be punished for their childerns crimes. And vice versa - a child could not be punished for its parents crime. That said, it was a largley tribal society. But the Jews were fairly odd for the time, and stood out like a sour thumb for the Romans and Greeks.

@@QuizmasterLaw By no means. "Read your bible" is a particularly bad argument, since "the bible" only reflects the christianity that emerged later. There was no bible in 70 AD. Even the NT books mostly hadn't been composed, let alone written yet (Mark writes in response to 70; Luke and Matthew evolve on it later). There's some question to what extent Paul's earlier writings reflect the Jesus cult, or a separate branch, as Acts does clearly hint at. We further know that there were other versions of the gospels. A few other gospels are preserved; alternatives to the main gospels existed, but are only known from church fathers writing against them. We further see that the fundamental story changes as the gospels are written. Under Paul, Jesus' life is irrelevant, he becomes divine through martyrdom. Under Mark, he is adopted by god with his baptism. To Matthew and Luke, Jesus' divinity follows Graeco-Roman tradition of being literally god's child. And to John, Jesus pre-existed and incarnated. What Jesus actually said or believed is in some question. He probably started as a preacher following the (at the time far more famous) Baptist, ended up believing himself Messiah ("Christ", "anointed", to become king of the Jews) and executed for trying to start a rebellion. We may trust some sayings are authentic; we know some are not (because they rely on the Greek language they were written in, and don't work in Aramaic that Jesus spoke). We know the gospel writers told a story, not history; and that some stories are meant as examples - parables in their own right - not as histories. But as for your claim: it would seem even from the scripture that Jesus did not reject legalism. Indeed he outright endorses it and doubles down on it ("not a yod or tittle"), consistently denouncing the pharisees for not following the law well enough, though at times injecting some pragmatism ("sabbath was made for man"). This would fit with his probable Essene background. He mainly rebelled against the Judaic "church" and its lust for power, but was religiously more strict than they, although also with some theological disputes. Probably the most famous story for anti-legalism, of the adulteress - aside from being a later addition - is actually very legalistic. By Judaic law, the man she slept with should also have been indicted. Hence Jesus can tell them that, yes, she should be executed - but they themselves broke the law, and thus they can't punish her as it's a mistrial by prosecutorial wrongdoing. That's exactly what a lawyer would point out.

This perfectly encapsulate my issue with the left-right political spectrum. I always found it difficult to believe that communism and fascism are direct opposites when they accomplish the same thing. This is why, they are essecially the same, just with different heiarchies and reasons.
48:00 re "Soil" Also worth noting that in Das Kapital, Marx has a malthusian streak, speaking about soil degredation leading to mass starvation, and hence leading to a socialist overthrow. Of course, Marx never understood that if soil degredation occured, this would create a market incentive to to create good soil, leading to innovation and investment.

Surely Anarcho-capitilism can't be a good thing? Like state healthcare, infrastructure, welfare, pension, emergency services and education are pretty important in modern day systems. Right now we are having terrible bushfires in Australia, and if we had no public emergency services, who would be helping all the people losing their homes? Would they have to hire a bushfire service to come help? Would be great to hear your thoughts on the rights of humans, and what you think the best balance of public and private control would be!

Longtime fan, exceptional work TIK. Thank you for your deep, well sourced discussions. They're extremely valuable to me.
This is an amazing video and I'm really grateful for how much knowledge and insight is shared. Question though: I understand why corporations should be considered public if they are sustained by regulation and state intervention, but I don't understand why being publicly traded would necessarily make a company "public." Isn't the stock market and the corporation - assuming an actually free market - merely many individuals making individual free decisions? And a company that loses money for a long time, can still be an investment. Perhaps an entrepreneur building a giant, massively complex interconnected theme park, who loses money for many many years while it is in development before becoming massively successful (or not). Perhaps the point is just that in reality it is almost always the case that large corporations are in fact surviving off of regulation and handouts? Would love to hear more on this! Thanks

1:34:53 This is just the "mud pie" interpretation of the Labor Theory of Value. I want better Libertarian critiques but this is not it. The "Socially necessary labour time" was added by Marx to Adam Smith's conceptualization which makes the "mud pie" interpretation invalid. Socially Necessary Labor being the composite labor necessary to do something at average levels of productivity. So using a shovel to move 5 tons of dirt is unnecessary and far below average compared to using a landscaping machine. Same for taking 5 hours to do a task that on average takes 1 hour if you factor in the environment. As for finding a diamond you'll have lucked out since you got it done under the average amount of work that needs to be sustained to get one and can now undercut other sellers as much as you want since you skipped all the labor sustaining. This is also why prices go down(or profits go up) as industries manage to find new ways to cut costs. Marx also stated that value comes from nature so that can also cover the diamond findings as valuable. Even without the labor theory of value i think they can still substantially prop up with their law of falling profits instead.

@@TheImperatorKnight The deffinitions are the same, in the case of Socialism, it is social/democratic control over the means of production, thats it, nothing else ! Lenin called the system he ceated "State Capitalism" a consept he took from the wartime economies of the great powers during the 1.st. world war. That system was not Socialist, but I suspect it was intended as a placeholder system until the revolution happend in German(never happend), or Soviet Russia itself had changed into an industrial nation, and could transition into a Socialist system(never happend either at least the transition). Instead they ended up with a undemocratic system without social control over the means of production, and run by a small group, and later under Stalin only one man ! Not Socialism by any definition !

@@TheImperatorKnight You have certainly changed definitions, as you have accused others of doing even using nonsense terms such as "marxist syndicalism" - syndicalism is not a marxist idealogy. Take the definition of socialism. You note that there were theories of socialism before marx, but the fact you don't point out these theories either oppose the state or effectively leave it unchanged. You chose to interpret quotes from Marx and Engels for the viewers, instead of letting them interpret them themselves, because it's quite clear to anyway who reads them properly you have massively misinterpreted them. Seeing as you think capitalism is 'anti state' (ridiculous claim), why dont you ask the first capitalists, the assyrian merchants, how their stateless capitalism worked out. You even tried to claim that companies on the stock market were public and therefore socialist. These public LIMITED companies allow members of the public to buy in to private partial ownership. They do not own the means of production. They own shares in (limited) parts of the private companies made available to the public. In this example; There are limitations on public peoples ownership (can only buy the portion of the company available to the public) To own, payment is required The individuals influence is lesser than that of others So in other words, not equal, common ownership. You also fail to recognise the distinction between a public service and a public enterprise. A public enterprise is simply a partly or fully nationalised company. It operates in the free market and is not administered by the government. Therefore it cannot be subject to the public. Socialism is about changing the relations between individuals and the wider economy to prevent exploitation and conflicts within society. Marxism is an example which argues that socialism must be conducted via the state. Many prior and forms do not insist on this measure. This is not to say Marxism is wrong to do so, but that state control does not define socialism. For some examples, see fourierism or anarcho syndicalism

He's not naive, he's lying. A monarchy is a "corporation sole", it's structure, by design, is to have a human interchange the previous human. 'the king us dead, long live the (next) king' is the expression which defines this. Socialism will always have a state, you don't have socialism without statists, and the purpose of a statist is to rule over another. Without the state interfering with all aspects of the individual, then you allow individualism. If you allow it, you threaten the state, thus the state will always exist, to perpetuate itself. Just look at bureaucracy's as a case in point
I still like your history videos but increasingly find your political videos don't follow the same level of self scrutnisation. You use dictionary definitions to try to prove real world outcomes, that isn't how it works.

This is a message I got from a confused human on Twitter today: "Yes, using capital to buy shares of a company is the exact opposite of capitalism. It disturbs me that you can vote" He or she doesn't understand public ownership. Another tweet said "That isn't what public ownership means. What you are describing is private ownership. If you buy a house, it's private property. If you buy a timeshare, it's still private property just owned by multiple entities. If you don't want to be mocked, do the bare minimum research" This is what I see when I try to educate people. I cannot even imagine TIK's frustration at trying to help, but people are showing that they may be beyond help.

The term "Liberal" used to mean for Liberty - meaning the Right. However, the socialists started appropriating the terms. First they took the term "scientific", even though the ideology comes before the truth. Then they took the term "democracy", even though the individual has no power under the boot of a socialist society. Then they took the term "Liberal", even though slaves of the group-state cannot be free. So I am still a Liberal. I'm a Classic British Liberal.

Real capitalism is just as utopian as real communism. Real world has physical limitations, people have also psychological limitations. Ultimately a non-utopian world does need regulatory control in one way or another. Sooner or later monopolies will spoil your cool little capitalistic system.

@@suddenuprising There is another way in which TIKs extremely bias and uncritical perspective is harmful. In the beginning, when the nazis were a small populist movement of patriots and nationalists, they intermixed - personally and ideologically - with the political left. Later when they rose to power those elements were mostly rejected, people were kicked out or murdered. I fear that people who condition themselves to the dogma that nazis were just a different kind of communist, can never learn the details of what led us to the horrors of nazi ideology. A fairly free and progressive society (for the time) turned into a totalitarian nightmare in less than a generation. The sociological aspects of this rapid transformation and the historical background of it is a lesson we paid for dearly - literally with over 100 million lives. Flushing this lesson down the toilet of ideology is so horrible...
I've been reading history my whole life, and the contributions you made in this video are amazing, honestly I'm astonished by the level of detail in this video Thanks for the great content
Think this video is much better than the one you did were you explained capitalism using a small factory as an example. I understand why you simplified it so much but by doing so I think it was rather easy to critisize it, like "yes, any model works until you put it into real world". I really enjoy your channel, keep up the good work!
I cant believe I lasted through the whole video, but I'm glad I did, well done again. You do an amazing job at presenting the history, both ancient and recent, and current economic situation that most countries are in and the problems with it - especially regarding socialism or inefficient large public companies which exist in capital economies. My question is - what can be done about it? It's not a rethorical question, I actually would like you to present videos on solutions because I think you are an incredibly smart and well researched person. Some people may think "easy, vote for the more private-friendly/encouraging party", but as far as I can understand it, in the US at least, Democrats are "for the state" and Republicans are more "pro-business" which generally highly favors large businesses which are public anyway. Another important question, what do you see should be the role of the state, if any at all? Again, you mention the problem (inefficiency) but not the solution, and I would be very interested to know your views on it. Especially when it comes to healthcare, education, public works, etc. Regarding healthcare, it seems to me that given two options (a) state-governed healthcare provider vs (b) large publicly-funded inefficient insurance companies the choices are both bad. Also, what to do with families with kids with high special needs that require high levels of care? I dont pose these questions to troll, really just hope to have a discussion and to know your views.
Hello TIK, i enjoy watching your videos, as many others i too am grateful for these videos, truly taught me more history than any history book in school, with an actual explanation for the statements said. You make excellent videos, and i wish to see more like these, unbiased, truthful, academic viewpoints presented in a comprehensible video. All the best from Slovakia. Also if i may, i have a question regarding what you stated about the 'private' schooling system, i also happen to be working at school which is classified as private. We as a school receive some money in taxes as do other state schools meaning from your definition that this is a state school, but we also get tuition fees paid directly by the parents of the children attending, private individuals, therefore it is also privately funded. The school which is regarded in our state as a company which provides education, and yes the education is to some degree dictated by the curriculum given by the state. So i need to ask if the school is funded both by private sector, the parents and also the state through taxation and some state grants, if such an institution is a private institution or a state one, and also to add the school is owned by two private individuals, the founder and her husband. Thank you very much for your videos and also your reply if possible.
