  • Why the fuck does Marx sound Dutch/Swedish?

  • @jjenkov

    3.) Ownership of a commodity that is not a means of production is not exploitative and would be considered possession. People do not share everything under communism. They merely offer up the product of their labor and in return procure their needs and wants from others in association.

  • @jjenkov

    2.) On the contrary, a strong state is required to uphold private property, which is a state sponsored monopoly on the means of production. To maintain private property, force must be maintained against those who attempt to occupy and use the means of production, hence the role of the state.

  • @jjenkov

    1.) Capitalism is not based on voluntary cooperation. Because the means of production are monopolized by a select few through private property, workers are forced under economic duress to participate in the capitalist system. Voluntary cooperation can only occur under socialism (worker control of the means of production).

  • @jjenkov I'm not denying it is. Communism is a utopian dream that has never been achieved and can never be achieved, but the states that have called them self communist essentially had slavery and ignorance.

  • Wherein lies my ignorance?

    The video claims that the "true communism" existed in Paris for a few months. It existed through voluntary cooperation by the people, through democratic decision making. Could it have persisted? Would it not, step by step, had turned into a free market, with private propery rights? --> Capitalism, based on voluntary cooperation? Would people forever just have shared their items? Or, would a strong state have been necessary at that time, to keep the property shared?

  • @jjenkov you are just ignorant as fuck to post such a comment on videos wich represent how Marx would think about the capitalist society and so on. Do you actually watch them or just mute them so you can put out your ignorance, stupidity and frustration in a comment wich is 100 times explained?

  • @SuperSuperfan Is commmunism not equally slavery and ignoance?

  • @SwePw 1936 in spain during the civil war would be one. Or 1917 in ukraine. Although they were more anarchist influenced.

  • @cris750=the moronic order of people that need sex
