  • omg, I was just thinking, as I clicked this clip, that I should watch monthy python later on, and then I realized that this was monthy python!

  • Makeup jobs are outstanding in this sketch. The people really look like the people.

  • Jones expressions as Marx are just priceless.

  • Did he say "cuban guerrilla leader" or "cuban gorilla leader"?

  • Che Guevara was not Cuban, was Argentinian...

  • "With the scores all equal now..." Ha, ha! Great dig at communism there.

  • see complete edition of this particular film here from a+v+a+t+z.net remove +

  • OMG The head was so funny it was like a tortoise

  • I'm only putting this on here for my concerns on my mum after all I'm her Son I don't care what this You Tube belongs to I'm just passing my concerns on if anyone care to listen out there instead of for profit and policies lots do it for. I've got problems such as Asthma and a TRACHEOTOMY and I'm still allowed a Comptuer and my own place. Wasn't meant to be anything funny about it.

  • Why isn't my Mum allowed a Computer in her Care Home? I've seen a Computer in her Care Staff Office and their allowed one yet my Mum may have to ask permission and they say no even post box is locked up with a lock she can't get to her own post cause staff put pad lock on letter box she treated like a kid and prisonair in her own care home. It's very unfair treatement. 

  • Can anybody tell me the name of the song at the beginning of the world forum part? Not sprach zathura, but the one when the globe goes into that little thingy.

  • @dodadue89 Theme to Space Odessey: 2001, I think.

  • @GaleanoOfElCano Thats right

  • Marx wouldn't have wanted the lounge suite anyway. He would just cut it up and distribute it amongst the poor.

  • @joshaf26 nah.. marx was german still and wouldnt turn down a good product of human hands

  • Seriously, who wants to start a political rant about communism on a monty python video? Truth is, by Marx's definition, we've never had true communism in this world. The penultimate revolution would be when the government abdicates its power and people simply live as one commune with resources distributed as needed. Seeing as socialist govt.s never willingly give up their power, that probably will never happen.

  • @deadcrowes19 Well said! This sketch is much more about hypocrisy than communism, anyway.

  • Only thing is you left out the part where Marx is making out with Che Guevara XD No really. That's the best part.

  • I know he did. But if you look at modern western society, then you see the proletariat hasn't been growing and getting poorer. It's shrunken in fact!

  • OMG this is hilarious. I heard John Philip Souza's "Liberty Bell March" which is the "Monty Python" theme, on a classical music station, so immediately came on YouTube to see a Python video. Masterfully done as usual. These guys were - and are- geniuses.

  • I used to be a communist back in the good loe day when the world was young (last year), but now im over it...this vid is great!!! love it!!! lol=)

  • My goodness you people are far too silly. Just laugh you jackasses!

  • Although perhaps unpopular, Marx was undoubtably one of the greatest political theorists of all time, And to discriminate against him simply because he had a different idea on how to live is xenophobia.

  • Marx's ideas may work in theory, but they have caused a lot of suffering in practice.

  • You can't blame a thinker for others who use their theory as justification for bullshit, like Stalinism

  • I don't blame Marx. He would have been disgusted by communism. His ideas don't work in the real world.

  • They didn't work in theory. He misinterpreted his admittedly brilliant historigography, to confuse the slow ending of of state control over society and capital, with the rise of absolute state controk over society and capitalism, which is called communism. All true left wings seek capitalism.

  • Can you explain what you mean when you say all true left wings seek capitalism?

  • Okay, I'll send you a message, it'll be a bit long.

  • They don't work in theory anymore, I think. His ideas were based on the 19th century society, with a small elite and a huge proletariat. This is hopelessly out dated

  • @Giel1987 You are right, just that the proletariat is now the majority of the third world. Outdated, but not update-able.

  • Yea.....or he could be unpopular because he caused the suffering of countless people.

    How funny that you want to have a serious discussion about Karl Marx after seeing a Monty Python skit. Python made this skit for people like you. Lighten up and laugh!

  • lol, i love monty python

  • im not a communist, but i did a report on Karl Marx and i think he was brilliant in many ways, but that was just to hilarious.

  • Too bad. No lounge suite for Karl Marx.

  • Lol lenin looks just like my grandpa

  • I know somone that kind of looks like Stalin.

  • The playing Lenin looks like Szarkosy with a beard

  • That guy they got to play Mao Tse Tung earily looks like the real Mao Tse Tung!!

  • o-o

    I don't think he looks like Mao Zedong.

  • Communists were never known for their sense of humour; crikey I spent 12 years in a socialist/communist party and most of them almost had hernias over Little Britain trying to figure out if it was "okay to laugh". I mean shit a brick Mick!

  • Im a communist and I think this is hilarious!

  • @trotskyist88 Haha me too! :3

  • It's got ideas behind it.

  • Que?

  • Actually, its really funny. My brother plays soccer and his trainer is British. Guess who he played for? The Wolverhampton Wanderers....who beat Leicester 3-1. But the trainer wasn't a Python fan....sob sob

  • Actually, its british you fucker.

  • Hey, your mom was totally boring...and i crapped on her.

  • mature
