Between the discussion about racism (Fishmen Arcs, slave auction, the World Nobels), colonialism (Skypiea, the way Emperor's take over territory, the influence of the World Govt. on the world and its countries), shadow governments, revolutionary movements etc, there is a TON to unpack here and enough material to make hours of videos.

I guess, like so many other things, it comes down to the circumstances surrounding *choice*. Being able to choose whether or not to see a doctor, go out to sea, have food to eat, join the marines or a pirate crew, search for treasure, go on an adventure etc. is not available to everyone on an equal basis, nor do people want the availability of the same choices for the same reason or to the same degree. For instance: Sabo wasn't free to go out to sea, but Luffy was. Sabo was born a noble with access to riches, education and other aristocratic things, which Luffy was not. Luffy's parents were barely involved in his life, while Sabo's parents tried to mould him into a smug aristocrat and he hated them. They had very different starting points which shaped their wants, needs, dreams and aspirations differently, and it gave them different accessibility to and possibilities of choice. This is also reflected in their story, choices, actions and where they are now. Sabo's background is the reason why he's a revolutionary, and not "just a pirate" like Luffy, and Luffy's lack of said background is why he's *not* a revolutionary. This makes me more interested in seeing Dragon's back story. It's going to be a very interesting one. You make good videos! Subscribed! 🏴‍☠️

You are right, it comes down to the circumstances surrounding "choice" as as you said, your background will determine your choice, which is a product of past causes leading up to it.

You’re spot on buddy. I would like to add on this and say there’s also a message of whether people are given the choice to experience in a specific world or abide by an authority. For example, in the world of One Piece, the pirates who attack civilians are depicted so negatively because their choice to live in a safe and secure world of authority is stripped from them and they’re involved in the chaos of piracy without their consent. Another example is that, the people who wish to become pirates are often impeded by the world of authority such as Oden and his conflict with Wano’s isolationist policy. It all comes down to choice and whether people’s choices in life are respected by others.

Actually Luffy is a revolutionary in the real life sense of the word. There's no real different between what he does and what the Revolutionary Army does other than the fact that one of them has a specific moniker and have a large backing by the disenfranchised. Yes, Luffy and Sabo's reasons are different but that doesn't deter from what Luffy is doing. Also, do you think someone like Luffy who purposefully doesn't read the news would even know what the Revolutionary Army is and where to join? Sabo joined because of circumstances around how he was rescued. I doubt if he was rescued, he'd join the Revolutionary Army either.

I think the idea of balance in all things is more idealistic than realistic. I’d rather be more positive than negative. I’d rather make more good decisions than bad decisions. I’d rather have more wealth than less. I’d rather be more hard-working than lazy. Idk the idea of “balance in all things” just doesn’t make sense unless you mean ego death which is not actually balance in all things as opposed to worldly detachment from all things. For instance, how does one balance murder or rape lol. You can’t. Or how does one balance helping an entire country of people get free electricity- without doing something objectively bad and unnecessary in order to bring balance lol. You can’t. Ofc some say it’s perfectly obvious that “balance in all things” isn’t literal. But you’d be shocked how many people do believe that and use that idealism to justify their negative actions without ever stopping to think about how unreasonable that actually is. Especially when contrasted with how does one balance their overly-positive behavior- without doing something objectively stupid and unnecessary. Sorry for the essay lol, I just wanted to share a fallacy that I personally fell for in my younger years and hoping maybe this helps someone who’s yet to make the same realization I made.

Yeah I've really considered that the 2 worlds could coexist. In my opinion Oda hasn't really portrayed it that way (or at least not well) but when you look at it this way it makes sense. Reason I say he hasn't is because when we think of the average pirate we're thinking of someone who steals from innocent people. Even the Straw Hats did this in Skypeia. Even when you look at people like Whitebeard and Shanks you have to ask why do they have bounties like that? Some of the things Luffy has done don't warrant a bounty from a moral standpoint but stuff like destroying Enies Lobby and Impel Down even though Luffy didn't do those things with ill intent yeah they do.

There is no "should" in politics or political theory

Recently, I’ve been reading a lot of philosophy from both Nietzsche and Marx. Nietzsche thinks that focusing on equality will hinder great men from cultivating their talents, thus leading to worse art and culture. As such, any political ideology should focus on cultivating the talents of a few great men. Marx, on the other hand, thinks that giving freedom will cause oppressors to exploit the everyday man. Both of these seem to be sensible ideologies, but they also apparently contradict. I never realized that One Piece actually proposes a solution to this dilemma.

nunnally nun, Nietzsche is a very controversial philosopher. Don’t worry if he leaves a bad taste in your mouth. He leaves a bad taste in the mouth of a lot of people.

Roughly speaking, Marx thought that freedom in markets would lead wealth (and thus power) to conglomerate in the hands of a few wealthy people.

There is something your video is missing. A lot of pirates in One Piece did not choose to be pirates for the sake of freedom. They were just forced to be pirates, because they belonged to societies that were criminalized by the world government. The Sun Pirates, Trafalgar Law himself, Vivi (at some point), King Riku (at some point too), they all had to be against the system, because the system was against them, and it is not that they sought for freedom, but that they were forced to oppose the system in order to survive.

I think he mostly means that he didn't set out with the plan of having this grand political/philosophical message, but the story kind of demanded it of him regardless. The director David Lynch always speaks about remaining true to the "central idea" of any given film/novel/insert-medium-here as the key to creating a cohesive project, and that that central idea basically provides everything for you if you continue to trust it and look deeper into it. I think this is very much what happened to Oda when writing One Piece; he had an idea for an adventure series about pirates going on a romantic voyage in a fantastic and mysterious world, all the themes and philosophy just came from him looking deeper into that idea as the series evolved and grew physically. I don't think it's so well written because he planned it out so thoroughly, but because he sticks to the initial premise and designing principle so strongly and let's everything unravel from there organically (or as organically as something can in a narrative that is doctored by someone).

In Franky's backstory. At the same time when Caeser Gastino invents the ability and throws the same logic that invention in itself is not a crime - Chopper thrashes him saying, If you didn't invent this thing kids would be safe. I like to think it is the opinion of two different Characters and not Oda himself. But it is presented in such absolute way that you cannot ignore it.

Sadly its still a matter of choice on how people will be responsible or accountable in everything they have either in skills or things they used. But for me I'm still against of civilian having access to own a gun like what the quote said "with great power. comes great responsibility" -not all civilian realize the responsibility they have if they use a gun in a wrong way, some of them use its for power tripping. unfortunately theirs also policemen who have rights of accessing a gun yet some of them irresponsibly use it.

One Piece follows an idealistic, somewhat Aristotelian approach to politics. The form of government is not intrinsically important - whether the ruler is one person, a few people, or many. Instead, what matters are the content and actions carried out by the governing body. As long as the government or state aims for the common good, its legitimacy is established. That's why there's no critique of monarchy. As seen in Arabasta and Dressrosa, if a king looks out for his people, there's no reason to undermine his authority. However, if that's not the case and the system is corrupted, serving the well-being of a select group (like the Celestial Dragons) or a tyrant (such as Crocodile or Doflamingo), revolution and subversion are justified.

Enjoyed the video, but I disagree that the pirate ideal is on the 'economic right'. The 'economic right' is a belief in 'might makes right' and winner takes all; it's a belief that private property is valid, should be taken, and then defended. Luffy is competing to be 'the freest man in the world' (his version of Pirate King), but everyone else is competing to rule over all pirates (the acquisition of power and property). The Straw Hats have to fight because they unapologetically pursue freedom, and this inevitably goes against the wishes of those in control (World Gov, Yonkos) or those who wish to be in control (most other pirates). Without the deadly competition between pirates, Zoro can still win any sword duel, Nami can still chart the world, Chopper can be a doctor, Usopp can be a brave adventurer, Robin can learn the true history, Sanji can find the All Blue, Franky can sail his ship around the world, Brook can meet Laboon, Jinbe can have equality on the surface, and Luffy can travel the world freely with his friends. I don't think Oda sees pirates fighting over power as a good thing. He may just see it as an inevitability that some people will try to conquer others and that freedom from such tyranny will always require the pursuers of freedom to fight back against the wrongdoers. I think by the end of the story we will see The Navy switch their role from enforcers of the law to being guardians of the people, and we will see 'pirates' be groups of adventurers inspired to see the world. The Navy will protect the people from obligation and 'peace-main' pirates will protect the people because they will inevitably irk the badguys who want to control them.

I mostly agree with what you said about One Piece’s politics. However, I think you oversimplified the way Oda portrays the politics of land. Land politics is not 100% pro equality and redistribution. In Water 7 the leader is the most succesful businessman the country has. In fishman Island there is a rich people districts, i.e where the starfish guy comes from, and yet their wealth is never put into question. It does seem like on land, Oda generally supports generous governments, but it does not discard monetary hierarchies acquired through business success. I think Oda criticizes obtaining oppressive legal hierarchies a lot more than monetary hierarchies. Saboady focuses on legally treating people as slaves. Ennies lobby focuses on the government having the power to convict someone for knowing how a language. Marineford on being executed just because of association to someone else.

​@@MrMorjPlease make a new video on this topic. I want to see your more recent understanding.

"Earning money is never put on a pedestal in OnePiece" *Namiying Intensifies*

Morj is on fire! This is a topic i hoped a one piece youtuber would discuss.

Wow. This video was really good. Always thought about the hypocrisy in one piece about power. Although I would argue that its not much about land VS pirates. Its about innocence VS sinners. Pirates will happily fight mountain bandits. Luffy easily decides to fight the Yakozuna, without knowing if he was good or bad. Luffy does not care about good or evil. Its whether you are on his side or not. Take a shot at his friend and even if its justified, luffy will attack back. Time and time again, Oda has shown that luffy is not a hero and thus not an ideal character. He is just the main character whose journey we follow. Unlike dragon, luffy's goal is not to make the world a better place. He just wants to do what he wants. His goals normally do align with greater good but it was never his intention. Just like in fishmen island, he does not care if the island burns down if he can save his nakama. Similarly, in Impel down, he does not care that so many prisoners who have actually committed crimes, like Crocodile, will run free. He only cares about Ace. And I really appreciate your these types of videos, but I would have to disagree that Oda is trying to tell us the greatest form of government. Oda is simply telling us the best way to live is through freedom. However, it has its consequences. There are a lot of injustices in the world and everyone has their own form of justice for it. The world will be a better place if those with good values rise to the top and will be shitty if those with bad values rise to the top, regardless of any system. Dragon, Blackbeard, and luffy all are going against the WG but all for different reasons. Dragon hopes to create a better or should I say, fairer world. Blackbeard wants the power of WG while Luffy is against WG simply because they are in his way. Although since politics is involved, what do you think Dragon's plan is after he topples the WG. I always find that Dragon and Luffy will eventually have conflicting world views. A society cannot be safe where its citizens are totally free and similarly, a society cannot be free if its citizens are totally safe. A person like luffy who will chase freedom will always be a problem to a just society(especially since there will also be bad people seeking freedom like blackbeard). I have no idea how Oda will come even close to giving us a satisfying conclusion society wise as there are multiple contradictory lifestyles that Oda embraces in One piece.

But i agree and i really can’t imagine how he will pull of these aspects of the story

I think the dichotomy of "innocence vs sinners" is a false one. It's more of warmhearted people that create good wherever they go vs people that are blinded by tyranny vs chaotic people. We see it in the Revolutionary Army vs Sakazuki vs Blackbeard respectively. I'll let you choose which one's which but it should be obvious.

Morj has been spoiling us lately :)

Holy crap, I'm always on the verge of tears watching your videos; they're only getting better. Not to mention, this further solidifies Vivi's choice to stay behind for her country, but also has this underlying theme that she can be a Strawhat and a friend despite conflicting ideoligies. This opens up an entire other world of One Piece, thank you so much.

For the topic at hand, this was a surprisingly and more so refreshingly objective video. Great job Morj. Only thing I'd nitpick is to be fair you aren't really allowed to be a pirate in OP either, and the lifestyle puts you at odds with the government. Theoretically, you could also embark on a pirating life in the real world with all its freedoms and dangers, though the real world is structured far differently for you to have a chance at succeeding.

thinking the world goverment is comparable to how the goverment is portrayed in 1984 is pretty ridiculous and makes me think you've read neither. 1984 is also specifically about the soviets and not marxism. the world goverment in one piece are a lot more comparable to to characticures of crooked leaders under feudalism or capital owners under capitlism. the celestial dragons aren't depicted as some sort of the all seeing, heavy handed dictatorship the way the soviets are depicted in 1984. they're moreso just depicted as people who profit off others peoples labour, make laws that specifically effect people they want and use military and law enforcement to protect their own interest all while being in the shadows. also considering the serie's support for unions, anti privatization messages, the insane amount of class conflict and odas blatant support of the cuban revolution I don't really think it's far off to say the series has marxist themes.

Great video as usual! So many interesting angles I never thought of, even the main idea of the contrast between the sea and the land for political systems. The idea that you live in the free world of pirates by choice reminds me of a lot of the early arcs' themes about what being a pirate means. About how being a pirate means being willing to put your life on the line, since in that world there's no authority to take care of you. About accepting notoriety instead of trying to run away from it. The story even has Buggy near the start to specifically make the point that it's not about pillaging the citizens of the land.

@@MrMorj At least from just seeing the end result, I don't think you even really needed to worry. Or you did a good job of making it reasonable. It just fits well enough to make sense to anyone, since it starts from themes I think most people recognize (freedom, the world government being bad) but gets extended into more specific ideas if you look closer. I personally never realized that Drum Island is saying something about healthcare availability, but once pointed out it's obvious in a way where I don't think you can even call it biased. And I think it's overall agreeable to people because it's showing a contrast of two systems with their benefits and drawbacks rather than focusing on one being perfect. And yeah, not sure if I mentioned it before in any of our conversations but I love how East Blue helps define what a good pirate is through the contrast between Luffy and the villains. Like how Don Krieg shows you need to rely on your personal strength instead of weapons or numbers. Or how basically all of them until Arlong don't care about their crews.

I believe you are extremely biased on the idea of Democracy. In real life, most kings were selected at first (except for those who came to power through conquest, they were only selected in their first land), it's only their descendants that haven't been chosen.

Democracy is by definition incompatible with a society where everyone is equal and lives in harmony. The literal definition of democracy is "A system in which the minority is dominated by the majority." You can debate whether this is preferable to alternatives (Monarchy, Oligrachy, , various forms of anarchy, etc.) but it's just inaccurate to depict democracy as a peaceful utopia.

Minor spoiler; according to chapter 1011, even Big Mom believes in the separation of land and sea, and the basic decency pirates must uphold to innocent people who have nothing to do with them.

Showing us different ideologies through various characters and letting us know whether those ideologies are right or wrong or neither is what oda is doing. I'm positive that he doesn't have extreme views and accepts almost every view(sensible ones - which in itself is subjective) in moderation. He may be letting us know that even though we have different ideologies we can coexist and find happiness if we don't believe/act in the extremes. This is just my perspective.

24:00 Oda does not only depict pirates who plunder the people's security as evil. He also portrays the act of chaining down the freedom of a common man in the name of security as disingenuous. A flip side to what Morj mentioned is also depicted, and is done so quite often in the story of One Piece. Thought would be worth mentioning.

Mad underrated video. One of my absolute favourites from Morj 🙌

I think one of the key elements about Oda's writing, as well as frankly most fiction, is its focus in individuals rather than systems and social structures. A lot of fiction really focuses on "great man history" of larger than life characters shaping the world around them. Their personal agency, ability and power allowing them to compete with other individuals of similar capability for the fate of the world. It is primarily these grand individuals who impact and shape good or bad systems based on their own motives and ideals. This in contrast to the real world where, different kinds of core systems and structures give birth to and promote different kinds of individuals whom echoes the system they exist in to positions of power and influence. And grand social change rarely comes primarily from specific individuals as much as it comes from entire social movements. In OP's case, this primarily manifest itself in the idea that its not the system of piracy or world government that is fundamentally broken (as in it fundamentally promotes and generates exactly the kind of bad behaviours and people we see portrayed), but rather the fact that too many powerful individuals are "bad" currently. And if other grand and powerful individuals that are "good" remove them/out compete them, the systems will in turn become "good".

This was a really well put together video, and I want to thank you for introducing the political compass to this discussion, as most other political videos about OP seem to not be seated in actual political knowledge. However, I'm a bit confused about why you never discussed anything in the libleft section. It is, after all, the synthesis of the things that One Piece is saying are good (democratically elected government, providing resources to everyone, also freedom and the removal of class hierarchies) and the antithesis to the things that OP is saying are bad. I understand that you wanted to address the 2 worlds idea, and while I do think that this is what Oda is saying currently exists in the OP world, I do not necessarily think that these worlds will remain separate and exclusive by the end of the story. Rather, I think there will be a sort unified version of the two. Even if you don't believe that though, it would be nice to hear you discuss the possibility of what combining those two worlds would mean for the One Piece world. I would be interested to hear you discuss it in a later video. I'll be making my own video about it soon as well, if you'd like to hear another perspective before addressing it.

I really like your interpretation of the politics in one piece, but I'd like to add one thing. By having those two options: the left/ authoritarian land and the right/ liberal sea, it is crucial to always start at the land and than decide to go to the sea. The savety on the land gives you the chance to grow and decide to take more risk on your live and then set sail. This is another reason why people, who where successful on the sea give back to the land. They pay for the save infrastructure that let them grow and so contribute to the society as a whole.

I appreciate the consistency Mr. Morj!

Just became a patron, I truly appreciate you and your videos!

Ironic that Oda, the preacher of freedom and adventure, spent a huge portion of his life being sedentary, drawing this manga. It's his embodiment of his passion, joy, and calling. Everyone's got their own calling that's just as fulfilling for them as it is for someone like Luffy going out to sea.

Mr. Morj is the master analyst of One Piece, and Arthur is the master lore keeper of One Piece
