@John3285 Western Europe, which has probably the highest standard of living in the world next to the US, Australia, and Canada, is capitalist. Capitalsim is good on paper and reality.
@John3285 Quite right. COmmunism is BEAUTIFUL. Just ask Jesus, or anyone from the 1st Century Christians, the Jewish Essenes or the Israeli Kibbutzim of the early to mid 20th Cenntury. These are some of the only real, viably functioning examples of communism that we know of. All the other forms of so-called 'communism' were actually statist SOCIALISM.... which fucking SUCKS!!
@Countrygent100 Oh, crap, it was a joke. Way to bring my mood down. So now we're having a debate are we? Okay then, Capitalism is also bad, on paper at least and in recessions, depressions, etc. Also, Socialism seems to work well in Europe, particularly post-soviet eastern Europe. You're probably thinking of the Soviet Union, China (which has de-facto abandoned communism), North Korea, and other failed states which I could mention, but I don't want to give you too much ammunition
@John3285 Are you fucking kidding me? It really sucks here. Socialism is a simplest way to bureaucracy, corruption and poverty as we have in eastern Europe. It is the worst economic and social system ever created, way to enslave the whole nation.
@XvallorX That's funny, if you replaced Socialism with capitalism and 'Eastern Europe' with Anywhere else, your sentence still makes sense. What you don't get is that both have good and bad points and both exist everywhere! Scandinavian countries have amongst the highest standard of living, the lowest levels of corruption, etc, of anywhere in the world. You sound like a Fox News viewer! (Also Eastern Europe is still suffering the after effects of Soviet slavery, which sucked)
@John3285 The truth is, the best is a combination of freedom and free market, with some basics social privilege. Socialism have more bad points than pure capitalism thou. We shouldn't forget, every country is different, and socio-economics systems are not working in the same way everywhere. Scandinavian countries created strong community bonds, which eastern European countries dont have. I don't get your response about Fox news - I'm not from USA. Regards.

The "Che" or Che Guevara (Real name was Ernesto Guevara) was not Bolivian but Argentinian. He Did died in Bolivia in a atempt to start a revolucion there. He also helped Castro to take over Cuba. The word "Che" is an Argentinian exprecion similar to "dude" which is why he was nicknamed with it. Please like this to inform all people of this fack.
Karl, lenin, Mao are actually out of touch with the people they claimed to represent. Typical liars politicians! Don't be fooled! Communists, capitalists, republicans, socialists, all politicians are the same!
But Marx was at least no politician, but a epistemologist (hope it's the right term - English is not my mother tongue ;-)), philosopher and more sociologist than a political scientist. But like many highly intelligent, brillant man he was self-opinionated and bossy. Nevertheless I guess as a theoretician he was not as narcissistic and egotistical as Lenin or Mao.
@Anubis2705 Mao was a great actor and narcissistic liar. Chinese people are still fooled or pretending to be fooled by Mao. Mao does not even believe in communism, It was just the politically correct thing to do during that time when 90% of china is peasantry.
Did I spoke about Mao? I said, that MARX was NOT as narcissistic and egotistical as Lenin or Mao, because he was a theoretican and not a politician. Marx was bossy and self-opinionated and defintely not a person anybody would like to share a longer periode of time with, but nevertheless he didn't do what he did because he wanted to be adored like Mao or even worse Stalin.
Chairman Mao was a great fan of Monty Python and came over here from China to do this sketch. He was only away from there for about four days but the Chinese people thought he had defected to Ireland and become a priest. He was called Chairman Mao because one of his hobbies was making chairs.
@TheCraziestFox I'm personally not into slogans on t-shirts, however you are welcome to have as many heroes as you wish, lol. You shouldn't get irritated at people having different political views to yourself as it's a complete waste of time. Cheer up! (:o)
What does my having different political views have to do with your choice of heroes? I was merely pointing out that where mr.Guevara stepped grass stopped growing, but his face is highly marketable. At least snoopy didnt die at the hands of his supposed followers... I have a beagle, however, so allow me to say, they are horrible creatures (I adore snoopy, though. He's the exception to prove the rule.).
Besides, how can I watch any monty python video and not be cheerful?
Guess which video just got added to my Favorites list? The writers for M.P. were zany and incredibly clever. Who else but them would even dream of having 4 communist famous figures on a game show, then throw English football questions at them??? They should have made the final question for Karl, "Which comedy troupe made a movie in which several of its most famous scenes involved 'Bring Out Your Dead,' 'The Black Knight,' and 'The Bridge of Death'???" And "Dennis, the poitical peasant."
a monty python skit turns into a seething mass of insults? yep, that's youtube. BTW i'm a lefty and i still find this funny- learn to have a laugh and ignore the trolls
I don't get it, what's the point of this - is it to make fun that they don't know anything about fotball whilst all being well educated upper-class communists?
@9toonarmy9 Well, you are a nice prick aren't you. What about you stop that immature behaviour, or do you enjoy lumbering around with that giant E-penis. All I did was asking - nicely - if someone could explain it for me. Now Shoo begon troll!
@MjolnerBane Yes and no, the joke is that they are all great thinkers and the only questions they get are silly sport or pop quiz questions, something that they of cause know nothing of. Except for Mao that was a fan of Jerry Lewis, hope that clearify.
I have to ask this question as it's confused me for a while and there may be a brit or two on youtube what might be able to clear it up for me.
Are/Were Monty Python left wing, right wing or are they independent/ libertarian? I know they aren't all the same most likely. It's just that they have quite a few sketches mocking communism and socialism, yet Cleese(that i know of) is famous for supporting the near socialist left.
The German BND is the renamed 3rd Reich GESTAPO.The BND had organized the delegate Scheuermann of our county to visit or home.To allow him to personally experience how my brother and our parents had been tortured.The BND continued to torture my brother.He was assassinated on July 11th2009.Half a year after the assassination of my brother the CDU delegate Mappus from our district town Pforzheim was made prime minister of the German land of Baden Würtemberg
That wasn't at all fair — the host departed from the topic Mr. Marx had chosen. And besides, Mr. Mao had the lead after answering the Jerry Lee Lewis question on challenge.
1 Billion humans are permanently, severely undernourished. So long humans, workers, employees can not commonly own and control over what happens with their surplus production and their generated profits, democracy not only outside the economy but also IN the Workplace, 3 Billion humans that earn less than $2 a day will keep on being extorted by capitalism.
Democratize the economy, Workers Control over Production!☭
If you are against socialism you have no clue what it is.
@MrPromiscuousBlisc Another thumbs up for fab comment, MrProm!! Hey, noprofitmaxi, socialism/communism have been tried in many nations {USSR, China, N Korea, Indonesia briefly, Venezuela, Vietnam }, and their track record on personal freedom and economic growth, particularly at the consumer level, is ABOMINABLE!!! Here is an example from North Korea; something like 70% of their GDP is spent on their military, while national rate of blindness is 18%, 4 times the world avg.
@noprofitmaximierung "If you are against socialism you have no clue what it is" Yup that sounds like a nice rational democratic argument to me. Just pat the ignorant proletariats on the head and patronisingly tell them they 'really don't understand' and you know better. True equality at its Zenith. Then when the mass murder starts tell everyone its for thier own good so nobody realises you a megalomanic dictator.
@MrRazorblade999 Why don't you think this is funny? Communist leaders and ideologues being asked game show questions about English football? It's great satire!!
I just think the part that is the the topper in this one is he gets Karl marx to say a struggle between the classes is a Political Struggle. And then Karl Marx is like what did I just say? Its Genius.
How do comments on this COMEDY sketch end up with the conspiracy theorists, neo-cons, creationists and holocaust denyers so often found on YouTube blathering on about ideologies?
The concept of Karl Marx trying to win a lounge suite by answering questions on political theory show how inspired the Python team could be.
@sorryibrokethetrees The writing was inspired - putting 4 communists into a quiz show with Karl Marx trying to win a lounge suite. I wouldn't take this as an ideology.
@9toonarmy9 Lighten up? You see a reason to lighten up? And what do ya mean one of the only times.. everybody uses other media than just TV, EVERYBODY knows about Marx and his theories, well in central Europe they do, I don't know what cultural void you live in...
@sorryibrokethetrees Thanks for confirming that nutters (white supremacists, creationists, neo-Cons, holocaust deniers etc) are never far away on YouTube.
Anyway, to make it simple for you. 1. This is comedy 2. It doesn't offend in terms of gender, race or anything else that I can see 3. If you want political debate & ideological discussion - go to other channels.
@195ashes Yes. You are probably right there. What was OK 40 years would not be acceptable now. I guess that's true of a few Python sketches but at least they didn't reach the depths of 70s shockers like 'Mind Your Language', 'Love thy Neighbour' and, maybe, Benny Hill.
@9toonarmy9 I find your inclusion of 'Creationists' along with Holocaust deniers and white supremecists rather telling. Apparently this religious ideology is just as repugnant to your mind as genocidal racism. Tell me how many people have been murdered by creationists? How many concentration camps do they run? How often to they call for the mass murder of minority groups?
@medievalgirl002 Please, don't go down this path! with a name that include "Medieval" you should NOT make claims that reglious ideology is not homicidal!
@9toonarmy9 You may be surprised to learn that Hilter's ideas had thier origins in something known as social Darwinism, the application of natural selection to human society by Killing off the disabled people, the mentally ill, the Jews the Gypsies etc to allow the stronger and superior Ayrans to survive. Ringing any bells? The racist interpretation of Darwin's ideas have caused more harm to the human race and more deaths then a few American creationst fundamentalists.
@9toonarmy9 In case my comments result in a tirade of abuse, and I expect them too, especially from those will nor head a word spoken against Charles Darwin to whom the usual rule that 'nobody is perfect' does not seen to apply I will explain them better. I beleive once you start to label anyone as evil, unintelligent or inferior on the basis of thier beliefs or ideology you are essentially doing the same as those 'racists' and 'bigots', and are no better then them.
@medievalgirl002 My original comment was that this is a comedy sketch & that the pages & pages of arguments that accompany this video were kind of missing the point.
With comedy people either like it (or they don't) or get it (or they don't).
As for lumping conspiracy theorists, neo-cons, creationists & holocaust denyers together its not because I am comparing their ideologies or beliefs but because they are never far away on YouTube. Here, dear lady, you have proved my point.
@sorryibrokethetrees I meant that the writing was inspired - the notion of putting 4 communists into a quiz show with Karl Marx trying to win a lounge suite. I wouldn't take this as an ideology.
@ImTheChopo tecnically they got it right, since che was fighting for the bolivian guerrilla, he could be referred to as 'the bolivian guerrilla leader'.
@MrMountainFace Great comment!! reminds me of skit on album "Bert and I." Two friends/farmers are talking. One just heard speech about virtues of socialism,and how if one person owns 2 of something, he should give one to his neighbor. "Do you mean to tell me, Eben, if you had two tractors, you'd give me one?" "Ayah, Enoch, if I had two tractors, I'd give you one." "What if you had two bulls, Eben, would you give me one?" ...."DAMN YOU, Enoch, you know I've got two bulls!!"
I am highly interested in communism, I find this hilarious! Keep your politics out of comedy and your comedy out of your politics, also laugh at everything.
if you dont stop the stupid political comments on a ponty python sketch, you will leave empty handed, we will cut off your hands because you have stupid hands.
@hihellohowareyou1000 At least I work hard for my money, oh and your " yeah wells" are as bad as your " I'm a dang ol idiot liberal that wants to destroy this dand ol country, I tell you what." Socialist ass kisser.
What is going on here? Why are we arguing communism, socialism, and other politics? This is Monty Python. We are here to be entertained. So as John Cleese might say. Just shut up and enjoy the fucking sketch.
You can hear the useful idiots cheering in the presentation of each of these monsters, specially for Che Guevara. You had to go through the hell the Russians and the Chinese went through, first of all, and second, you need to know who K.Marx and V.I.Lenin really were(hidden truths). Unfortunately there are still people believing in such rubbish(Communism, Marxism).
@mirarostodo dude, try and respect the beliefs of others, you may not agree with the ideas, but calling people 'idiots' is a little ott, plus, you're making yourself seem a wee bit of a dick, which i'm sure you're not, just enjoy the comedy :) x
@hihellohowareyou1000 Yeah well the the goddamn commies had their form of socialism turn into communism,as much as the nazi's form of socialism turned into facism. dick nose.
@hihellohowareyou1000 Read these facts then; "We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler. He said that on May 1, 1927. You need another fact check.
@hihellohowareyou1000 Yes like Stalin, you might support wars when you're calling them 3rd world solidarity, you might support redistribution of wealth, you might think that your ideology is smart and all others need to be banned, you might support politics and egalitarianism and equality and you might support democracy (Obama) or dictatorship of the proletariat (Stalin) but You? Stalin? Obama? Nooooo! "you stupid christian redneck Hihellohowru is progressive, is smart, is new, is cool", tool!

Here is an example from North Korea; something like 70% of their GDP is spent on their military, while national rate of blindness is 18%, 4 times the world avg.

@noprofitmaximierung "If you are against socialism you have no clue what it is" Yup that sounds like a nice rational democratic argument to me. Just pat the ignorant proletariats on the head and patronisingly tell them they 'really don't understand' and you know better. True equality at its Zenith. Then when the mass murder starts tell everyone its for thier own good so nobody realises you a megalomanic dictator.

How do comments on this COMEDY sketch end up with the conspiracy theorists, neo-cons, creationists and holocaust denyers so often found on YouTube blathering on about ideologies?
The concept of Karl Marx trying to win a lounge suite by answering questions on political theory show how inspired the Python team could be.

@sorryibrokethetrees Thanks for confirming that nutters (white supremacists, creationists, neo-Cons, holocaust deniers etc) are never far away on YouTube.
Anyway, to make it simple for you. 1. This is comedy 2. It doesn't offend in terms of gender, race or anything else that I can see 3. If you want political debate & ideological discussion - go to other channels.
Otherwise I go with @MegaInfeKtion says.

@195ashes Yes. You are probably right there. What was OK 40 years would not be acceptable now. I guess that's true of a few Python sketches but at least they didn't reach the depths of 70s shockers like 'Mind Your Language', 'Love thy Neighbour' and, maybe, Benny Hill.
9toonarmy9 1 month ago
@9toonarmy9 I find your inclusion of 'Creationists' along with Holocaust deniers and white supremecists rather telling. Apparently this religious ideology is just as repugnant to your mind as genocidal racism. Tell me how many people have been murdered by creationists? How many concentration camps do they run? How often to they call for the mass murder of minority groups?

@9toonarmy9 You may be surprised to learn that Hilter's ideas had thier origins in something known as social Darwinism, the application of natural selection to human society by Killing off the disabled people, the mentally ill, the Jews the Gypsies etc to allow the stronger and superior Ayrans to survive. Ringing any bells? The racist interpretation of Darwin's ideas have caused more harm to the human race and more deaths then a few American creationst fundamentalists.

@9toonarmy9 In case my comments result in a tirade of abuse, and I expect them too, especially from those will nor head a word spoken against Charles Darwin to whom the usual rule that 'nobody is perfect' does not seen to apply I will explain them better. I beleive once you start to label anyone as evil, unintelligent or inferior on the basis of thier beliefs or ideology you are essentially doing the same as those 'racists' and 'bigots', and are no better then them.

@medievalgirl002 My original comment was that this is a comedy sketch & that the pages & pages of arguments that accompany this video were kind of missing the point.
With comedy people either like it (or they don't) or get it (or they don't).
As for lumping conspiracy theorists, neo-cons, creationists & holocaust denyers together its not because I am comparing their ideologies or beliefs but because they are never far away on YouTube. Here, dear lady, you have proved my point.
