The best part of this video is your making clear Marx' essential differences with Hegel over the rôle of the State: Hegel's Idealist view of the State -- and the obligation of individuals to acquiesce to its 'enlightened rule' (much as today's de facto 'democratic' dictators in the NATO West now see themselves) vs. Marx' simply postulation of a state which emanates out of real, concrete human relations of reciprocity. Kudos.
Hello my friend,been off the radar as I had a little bit of a cerebral stroke and have lost my rhs vision which for a photographer is quite life changing but in fact can still use a camera properly so my world hasn't caved in.
Loving your stuff my mega deep thinking lady but try sort out the wind noise by protecting the microphone on the video,some kind of wind breaker is needed and then you can be heard so much better over the Dutch elements,lol!

Sorry to hear that :( , but if your world hasn't caved in, you just have to bear the inconveniences the stroke has brought you. Do the therapy or whatever else is necessary, and it will become better.
Thanks for the advice. My voice can be heard, but the wind noise is irritating. I'll try stereopor or something.
Excellent; great; marvelous. If Marx had a channel on YT that would be a wonderful thing indeed :-P I couldn't possibly begin to express how much I enjoyed listening to this. Your voice tones relax me, your intelligence comforts and enthralls me.
And here I was, supposing that my droning voice on a non-fashionable, not entertaining subject, will put off some people from watching this. Well, it will, but the good thing is, that some people will see behind my inability to easily make jokes and will consider my important points. I considered especially the point about censorship relevant.
You might like "The Theory of Revolution in Young Marx" by Michael Lowy which looks at Marx's early political development. It's pretty dense. Another book you'd probably like is "Marx and Engels: Their Contribution to the Democratic Breakthrough" by August Nimtz which examines the practical revolutionary work they did - organizations they were involved with in the 1848 revolution, the founding of the 1st International, etc.
Marx and Engels were very much envolved in revolutionary work. Marx had a lot of criticism for the anarchists, for the ideas about utopia and communism of the early revolutionaries. He also was essential for the founding of the First International.
Thanks for this Rosita - it seems to me that the poetic instinct always illuminates the greatest thinkers & writers. Its is a pity their followers often betray their deepest insights.
Marx's insights were definitely betrayed - I mean not understood, altered to requirements. The term Marxism was used by people for ideologies, that had next to nothing to do with Marx himself.
@lordofutub I'd suggest "Marx for Beginners" by Rius, "How Marxism Works" by Chris Harman, and "The Meaning of Marxism" by Paul D'amato. All great introductions (depending on what you pick up, Marx can be pretty dense).
Unfortunately, while the two largest communist countries on our planet used Marx's rhetoric they didn't carry through with the promises implied by that rhetoric. Both the Soviet Union and China used censorship quite heavily. The Chinese were remarkably successful with it; today most Chinese citizens don't seem to know much about the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.
@zarkoff45 You're right, but i wonder how the system would have faired with some minor changes in economics and being devoid of censorship. Because i can't say many people are really satisfied with the kapitalist life whe're leading.
I think some level of capitalism is a necessary evil. The mistakes Mao and Stalin made with their command economies are going to be inevitable. The only way to keep those mistakes from happening is capitalism. I just think that capitalism has to be managed so that it doesn't get out of hand with monopolies, exploited workers and all its other evils.
@zarkoff45 And is the work of the young Marx so uninteresting to you that you wish to dismiss it without knowing about it and rush to putting moral judgements on the term "Marxists" and the millions of people who have valued that term differently.
Can we restrict our discussion to the discursive field that Rosalita has opened?
@zarkoff45 The 1989 protests were the closest thing to socialism China has seen since the 1926-1927 revolution. Workers joined the students and so did the soldiers, forcing the CCCP to bring soldiers in from the provinces to crush the demonstrations. There's something like 40,000 unauthorized protests per year there!
The thought of the difference between Marx's opinion about censorship and how censorship was used in the so called Marxist, socialist countries was on my mind all the time. We will mentioned that in the criticism of the different variations of Marxism.
Wow the press and media are free to enslave us, thanks

You'll have to specify what changes in economics and what effect do you think lack of censorship would have had in the previous socialist countries.
