  • Marx speak inglish JAJAJAJAJAJ SHEET STORM!!!!!!!!!!!1111

  • we are the root they eat the fruit

  • @surkhalam I'm not sure your comment and mine are at odds, we both seem to be saying that the work of Darwin and Marx's appreciation of it are not diminished in any way by the way some people (capitalists, racists etc.) corrupted natural selection into social Darwinism. Since I now understand that in your original comment you were making an implicit distinction between Darwin's ideas and "Social Darwinsism", as clarified in your very combative response, I think we were in agreement all along.

  • @surkhalam wow....interesting comment...

  • @surkhalam and nevertheless Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" had a big impact on Marx and Engels to the point that Marx sent a copy of Kapital to Darwin (who apparently never got a chance to read it). So please be careful about using terms like "social Darwinists" as if only capitalists trying to justify exploitation, or imperialists trying to justify racism can claim any affinity with Darwin and his (scientifically) revolutionary writings. Also, we are in fact territorial and aggressive.

  • @castroherman That is not entirely correct. Marx' daughter had was the girlfriend of Darwins son, and one assumes that its that way Kapital found its way to Darwins home. Some also claim that Marx wanted to dedicate Kapital to Darwin, but this is also false. (The letter believed to be from Marx was infact from Georg Aveling, a young biologist.) But it is anyways obviously true that Marx read Darwin and took his main theory to be correct.

  • Marx's insight of human "estrangement" (or "alienation") is the most important concept to come out of his writing. It is also the one that people have the hardest time comprehending, because it's just too "out of the box" or "radical" to be thought worthy of consideration.

    The opposites of human self-estrangement are freedom and authenticity. The point of communism is the freedom of the human being to "become oneself", to develop into a real person - creative and compassionate in soul and deed.

  • haha, did you know that Marx was such a fat lazy slob, that his family starved because he did not want to grow up? "anything is possible" is the kind of thinking that props up soviet dictators

  • @chorizo1337 im sorry about your mind with your thinking that we are all limited...

    anything is possible, it is just a matter of time...

    I cannot!" creates dictatorships... everything is possible creates progress

  • Marxism: A political Basis for scientific poetry

  • In America the top 5% control 95% of the nations wealth. So the remaining 95% of the population get to split 5%. Wow!

  • its actualy the top 1 percent.

  • Yup our lovely capitalist system

  • @plalelal

    Wealth can be produced. Wealth is not a limited resource only to be redistributed.

  • @ForABetterTomorrow

    Providing you own or control the means of production. High entry costs exclude the little guy.

  • @plalelal

    Two hands and one brain come (most of the time) for free.

  • @plalelal And 1% of those own all the things the rest buy and keep the other people in line!

  • @plalelal works in theory but in reality...it becomes tyranny. To bad Charity isn't as prevalent as the fore father's thought it would be. Or even back in Grover Cleveland's day the senate tried appropriating money for farmers who lost their crops but it was swiftly vetoed and sent back with a tongue lashing from Cleveland. As Cleveland predicted people donated to the farmers (10 times what senate appropriated to help them). I don't make much but I am always trying to be charitable

  • @IAmMediocreAtBest as long as a society needs charity it only proves that something is wrong, give me one proof that socialism, REAL socialism, doesnt work in reality, then give me one proof that capitalism does work in reality, then i will believe you...a capitalist societ will always be undemocratic no matter how you try to twist and turn the facts, the only way to TRUE democracy is through socialism

  • @Bolsjevikpirayan Almost every European nation is experiencing a debt crisis. If you can implement socialism with some sort of checks and balances system and a balanced budget requirement it might work out. It just seems like all systems become corrupt... As long as I am free to choose my career, keep 70% of my income, and don't see the people I love suffering I am content (actually I hate seeing anyone suffer but some people do it to themselves(still is sad lol(!)))

  • @plalelal Sorry, it's the top 2%!

  • @plalelal Where'd you get that the statistic out of your ass?

  • @SuperSuperfan Because it is true for the world. ~5% of the world's population owns ~95% of the wealth and natural resources. In the US it is roughly 10% that owns about 60% of all wealth. That gap is growing more rapidly here than any other country on earth.

  • @SuperSuperfan I agree; especially when they get roughly 40% if their annual wealth taxed.

  • It's a fantasy that anything is possible, I'd like to be able to sing without sounding like a German Shepherd in pain but it's never gonna happen.

  • that is a physical limitation, like growing wings, don't be stupid

  • Well then, explain how a society like that described by Karl Marx could funtion without currency and a private sector, that's also a physical limitation because it would be impossible for all goods and services to be distributed equally to all. And I doubt the workers would want to work if they got no benefit from working. A few thousand party apparatchiks in an office in Moscow cannot possibly alter the minds and thoughts of 6 billion people to be in line with socialist theory.

  • you obviously have no idea what communism is, read up before you comment

  • Marx is burning in hell

  • no, he has never done anything to deserve to be in hel.

    all he wanted it equality for all, and liberty for everybody. and his theory by the means to achieve it, is in no form oy way sadistic or evil, even take a read.

  • marx is not in hell. the people who mis used his theory are in hell though

  • Quite true quite true

    Stalin every single anti-communist president there ever was and emperor Constantine that religious corrupter of Christianity

  • There is no hell.

  • that is true

  • @ZYKLONBKILLSHITLER Look around, hehe

  • @ZYKLONBKILLSHITLER

    your wrong, capitalism is hell

  • @ZYKLONBKILLSHITLER Yes there is, and we live in it right now.

  • You are a fucking dumbass do your parents know they raised a moron.

    and your so great at spelling

    do"nt you know fucking nazi

  • Y must we consider the well being of other people who do not directly benefit us? Is social responsibility not just an opinion?

  • cause maybe we are more fortunate than them, and we have to be nice to them. and when they are too rich and socialist, they will benfit others.

    socialism is about helping your fellow comrade and not asking for a reward, but your comrade if he is a true socialist will always reward you.

  • Not everyone desires help from his comrade or to help his comrade. If you look at human action objectively we dont "have to " do anything we don't want to. Where some desire to be charitable others desire to be greedy. We will run into problems if we attempt to build a society assuming everyone in it desires to help his fellow man.

  • ppl are nly greedy now, because they find it hard to surrport themselves or there families. and the rich are greedy because they have become accustommed to thier life style.

    i believe people greed is no part of the human nature or apart of the survival instinct.

    i mean think about it, if your friend needed help would you help him.

  • what these fools don't get is that if we were greedy in our early evolutionary history, we wouldn't have survived bc humans would have found it mighty hard to live alone if they were constantly stealing from eachother

  • i agree, now rich are stealing from the poor! why is that alright??

    however i think we need to go through capitalism, to have a succesfull socialist state.

    it's time to swap to socialism.

  • That is what Marx said would or could happen

    and about the rich its because as the rich get richer the poor get poorer and the rich population shrinks while the poor population expands

  • the coutnries who skipped capitalism failedi n their socialism

  • we are capitalist we are ready to be Socialist

    excluding the mindset

  • Works for some countries, doesn't work for others. It worked for Sweden

    One of our provinces (Saskatechewan) elected a Socialist party, everybody hated it.

  • you cant elect a socialist party, its an oxymoron

  • ??? New democratic party of Canada are socialists.....

  • fast reply.. considering your comment was 3 months ago LOL

    but rly there cant be political socialist parties in office, the goal of socialism is to do a revolution not get elected. the ones getting elected only want the cash and are useless scum

  • NDP are social-democrats, if you check history Marxists broke with the SDs of the world a long, long, long time ago. See Karl Kautsky as the leading SD who put forward reform over revolution, and bourgeois democracy over dictatorship as well as socialist market economy solution instead of socialist worker's economy.

  • @ipwnorcs Absolutely - we are a social species. We cannot even be born without others If a woman in childbirth is left alone the chances are that both she and her infant will die. This is in marked contrast to other animal species where females routinely give birth alone. And as it is at the time of birth, so it is throughout life - everywhere there is co-operation, for only it can confer life and well-being on the individual.

    Capitalism is contrary to our fundamental nature as human beings.

  • @Redveg993 great.coment

  • ☭★Marxism☭★

  • All the major ideologies of the world, secular and not are soaked in blood. You cant condemn communism for that alone, were not the only guilty ones.

  • Are you disgusted because he is fat or because that his words echoes such truth that you can't handle it?

  • They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin

    "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

    Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Stephens Smith, 13 November 1787

  • FYI Us Marxists don't give a shit what dumb Americans think. We are above you.

  • you are not above anyone and never ever will be

  • You make me laugh American your empire is gone we are above and superior to dummy's like you now is the time of the communist epoch capital is collapsing,

    Tiocfaidh ár lá

  • only in your dreams dipshit. there has never been a succesfull communist country and never will be. they just Kill anyone that disagrees.

    fucking idiot

  • Fuck you idiot, you just caught the good end of the capitalist timeline, if this was back in the day and the capitalist system fucked you up you would whine like a little bitch too

  • No it didn't it stripped CONTINENTS of their recourses and left South Americans, and Africans hungry your making shit up to legitimize your point

  • You did not answer the question? which day

    I make nothing up marxist always have to kill and murder to forece their insane view on others. PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS TAKE FREEDOM OVER MARXISM ANYDAY ANYTIME, THERE FOR YOU HAVE TO IMPOSE MARXISM ONLY THE ELITE AND MORONS LIKE YOU ACCEPT IT.

  • only a total brainless moron with no actual education would go and run his mouth about something he has no idea about what your talking about. Karl Mar was a genius and to this day his ideals still give people hope.

  • stick to smoking the weed you brain dead fool.

  • Hey,hey,hey dude, I smoke weed and am extremely smart, I completely agree with you gismotech on everything else though ☭

  • not everyone that smokes weed is an idiot

    but punkxrock is a total fool

  • lol, alright man as long as you keep on goin around starting arguments on youtube about shit you have no idea about.

    peace out

  • far more than you ever will fool

    your an idiot at best

  • Oh? you mean like how the cuban people fought for communism against the bay of pigs coup? or how the Nicaraguan sandinistas fought imperialist-funded contras?Those very same contras, funded by Reagan, that were infamous for rape, torture, summary executions, and indiscriminate killing of civilians.

    See: El salvador, Guatemala, Venezuela, Vietnam.

    And saying that marxism is somehow different from freedom just displays complete ignorance.

  • And you're going to defend the American massacre of My Lai? Or how the capitalists ordered the dropped napalm and Agent Orange all over the country and killed over 4 million Vietnamese people?

  • 4 million??? you are an idiot at best

    get your head out of your asshole

  • wtf, capitalism feeds the world, but it's not feeding it enoguh. still 70% of ppl are hungry. under socialism all will be fed.

    marxist don't kill people!? wtf and the views aren't insane, marism is a view of compassion for you fellow men.

    marxism =fairness capitalism=unfairness.

    oi and capitalism feeds ppl only to make profit, NPO's feed the starving people, they are marxist and they are great ppl. they just believe that they are not corrupted so they can help ppl better

  • hahaha that's really egalitarian of you.

  • that is dangerous...a true marxist would think we all equal...they are just ignorant of their own slavery

  • A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.

    Thomas Jefferson

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Thomas Jefferson

  • What freedom do you think you have American. Your freedom is slavery and you don't realize it, you are a victim of propaganda, we will free you whether you like it or not.

  • Marx and Marxists are Tyrants who must all die if they try and force Socialism on us and steal our Liberty. Liberty and Freedom will not be safe for long as long as Marxists exist because they believe it their right to force Marxism on everyone for their own good. I say individuals choose for themselves, and equality of Liberty in it's purest form protecting each individual from the Tyranny of the masses is what is good and rightous. Once Marxists get power, they destroy all Freedom.

  • fuck marxism and all other western ideologies and fallacies..

  • Sure. Economic Freedom has failed. It is because of government creatures (Fannie, Freddie, Fed Reserve) that we are in the place we are today. We abandoned capitalism with FDR's New Deal.

  • Libertarians are the worst brand of rightist. Their idea of freedom is the market. A market for freedom means that only those who can afford it are truly free. Libertarians are the new ultra-right hidden in the alluring prose of democracy. But it is a democracy few can afford. It is the libertarian camp that wants all of our public assets destroyed, they are the radical privatizers who carry on the Neocon mantra while denying it. Those who believe govt doesnt work have no reason to be in it.

  • Oh please, please, post the entire play. I also enjoy your after play comments, you have a excellent grasp of the concepts. Thank you so much, keep it up.
