So, was Marx against markets or just against capitalism? I don't necessarily think markets or free markets are a bad thing, but capitalism (private ownership of the means of production) is an detrimental thing to the biosphere and social atmosphere.
@DesecrateConformity For Marx free markets and wage labor go hand in hand. A free market means that the buying and selling of commodities apportions labor between different tasks. This is only possible if labor itself becomes a commodity called wage labor. Wage Labor is only possible if the working class doesn't own the means of production. This, in turn, requires private property, states, and violence.
we now live in a world of information overload, when people are inundated by too much information they cannot process all of it and they often simply shut down and ignore everything...both bad and good
I really hope you find the time to continue this series. You have an unique style and I'm sure that will attract more people to the real stuff. This is the stuff youtube needs.

You mentioned elsewhere that you needed help with production. I'm able to assist, but can't find your email address. Could you post it?

I think you are using the right approach to studying Marx and a serious one without taking shortcuts. Can't wait to see your other videos.
