 Welcome to Progressive Discussions and I want to say I want to give a happy belated ishtar pagan Easter happy pagan Easter to all of you people out there that know the truth about these holidays and I'm here with Gary W. Owens sir how are you doing this week pretty good you post not to bed post ishtar and we have a really deep hard hitting topic this week for progressive discussions and we are of course we're streaming live on YouTube and we have the chat window open on the right now I want I noticed before we sink our teeth into the show our piranha teeth I'm or bullshark I noticed on CNN they they have been mentioning that about one-third of the democratic the Democratic Congress is composed of centrist and moderates and mentioning it over and over which is why I choose to say cyanara adios to the Democratic Party I have I do not want any affiliation with them even though they kind of pressure people into choosing either Republican or Democrat in order for you to vote in the primaries otherwise they will if you're an independent you know you can't participate in the primaries you know it's which is not fair but yeah I have no interest in supporting any centrist moderate demon crack and some of them are making it very obvious that they are like what's his last thing but but but a jig or the the the guy with the from South South Bend Indiana mayor that's running for president he's he's he came out he's gay which is which is fine you know and he's he's highly intelligent but he doesn't believe in in a free public universities and health care for all so he's really not a true progressive at all and some of them are making it obvious that they're not right you know that they're they're a centrist is probably most likely like a conservative Republican that is sneaky about it like you were explaining last week they're they're not like in your face obvious with their agendas they they kind of pander to the population you know I feel your pain and all that and but they're they're really corporate whores like like mainstream media most of them are corporate whores because they they'll never tell the public how they really feel or older or they'll never like Chris Cuomo well Chris Cuomo is the only one who will tell off someone like Kelly and Conway but I'm saying a lot of them try to stay neutral because you know the fat cats signed their paychecks right you know so I'm just tired of hearing centrist moderate Democrats because they're just you know like like a flock of parrots of different color feathers there's still parrots right you know they're still controlled by the oligarch puppet strings the puppet masters pulling the strings now Donald Trump has something to say my attorney Rudy Giuliani says it is not illegal to receive a campaign related information from the Russians it is perfectly fine to receive any information from the Russians regarding when a Republican or myself runs yeah that's that's what the penguin from Batman Rudy Giuliani said late recently oh god yeah it's not illegal it's fine to have the Russians help you out okay penguin now it's all you all right so you were right we are gonna be hitting a very hard-hitting discussion in this video this one's gonna be not really as fun as the last few I'm gonna try to make it as fun as I can this one's gonna be like an intro to socialism you know its theory its history and the current material conditions of 2019 as it is here in the United States as well as the rest of the world I mean we're not gonna dive into you know a whole lot of detail it's just gonna be like an intro you know to get you jumpstarted into reading it if you decide I want to read this for myself but we're gonna start on the history aspect because I want to touch on you know my personal history as to what drew me to socialism all right whenever I was 17 years old and a senior in high school that's when I was given the talk by my parents to you know you need to get your act together you need you to start getting your shit together to go out in the real world because you know the way you're acting right now you're not gonna make it in the real world this and the other because I will admit 17 years old I was very lazy my world consisted of wanting to just lay around the house drink pop drink beer smoke weed play the other games watch movies I was really always doing at age 17 so whenever it came time for me to go out to the real world and get a job I was very libertarianist because you know I enjoyed smoking weed I wanted you know marijuana legalization to come to a forefront and the time the libertarians are really about the only ones who were pushing for marijuana legalization and as time progressed you know I started looking at more Marxist ideas you know I got brushed up on when I was you know looking for you know the libertarian ideology before I formally declare myself a libertarian but I was like a left libertarian so I tried taking Marxist ideas and like having like this unique hybrid libertarian socialist philosophy which people try to argue that Marxist-Leninism is libertarian social in which it's really not that's really neither here nor there and what really brought it to the forefront was when everyone kept saying that Barack Obama was a communist he was this that and the other and I'm just like okay I'm gonna put this thing to rest once and for all I'm gonna prove or disprove this either right or wrong because I'm tired of people going back and forth at each other about them calling Barack Obama a communist so I decided okay what is the main work that really brought out to the socialist or communist philosophy and then by research I found the communist manifesto so whenever I read the first line of the communist manifesto there is a specter haunting Europe the specter of communism I said ooh this is a way to grab someone's attention because it makes you want to just read it and think well what is the specter he's really talking about because what is this thing haunting Europe because I knew it was written you know in the 1800s and as I read into it in the first chapter where it talked about you know class struggles and through the ancient times medieval times and now our current time and I'm like okay this is getting interesting but I really don't see how Obama is really pushing class struggle like a socialist or communist really would so as I got more into it and I was reading how you know Marx corresponded for kinds of socialism that we're developing in the 1800s and by the time I was done reading it and I got a good understanding as to what communism really is by the communist manifesto I was like you know what these people are a bunch of fucking idiots and they really honestly think just because Obama is doing this and that you know just doing a few leftist things here and there just to try to you know progress American some regards that's not communism oh he's definitely a corporatist a democrat or or centrist like some like to quote right yeah but out is to you know right but after reading the communist manifesto I I felt empowered because it made me realize that you know libertarianism was a bunch of bullshit is there was that moment I decided you know what I'm ditching libertarianism fuck this I'm going to Marxism and then I started reading other various works by Marx like Das Kapital as well as a few other various works by Marx and then from there I wanted to learn the philosophy behind Marxism you know what really makes Marxist socialism so different from other 18th century or no 19th century ideas about socialism his lifelong friend Frederick Ingalls I know not people really talk about Ingalls but Ingalls is just as important as Marx when it came to the early writings of socialism and communism he wrote a essay called socialism utopian and scientific and from the surface it looks like what Ingalls is trying to say is that our branch or our form of socialism is utopian and scientific no that's not what the essay is about what the essay is about is the distinguishments of the different kinds of socialism but the two specifically were utopian socialism and scientific socialism but what the essay trying to convey was wise scientific scientific socialism was the correct form of socialism to follow and what makes their socialism scientific socialism is they use what is called dialectical materialism to understand things and how to critique things in layman's terms dialectical materialism comes from the Greek word dialectics meaning engaging debate and analyzing it's not really as a debate as in like you know one side is trying to prove their side right and the others wrong it's just like an open exchange of ideas but it requires analyzing of the ideas to see you know is it right is it wrong and also to study contradictions within certain ideas that's the dialectic part now the materialism part you know as I as I talked about in the previous video you know Marx and Ingalls were diehard atheists religion had no kind of input in their philosophies and materialism is also atheistic what materialism does is it looks at things as they really are that's the scientific approach for the dialectical materialism is they just look at things as they are that looking at it through religious aspects their political aspects like the one-sidedness things like that and when you combine the two of dialectical materialism well the dialectic and materialism you get that unique hybrid philosophy dialectical materialism and what dialectical materialism does is it analyzes material conditions from a class perspective you know that was the entire point of Marxism is he wrote about social and communism but he also critiqued capitalism and how it was really just a development from the ancient world to feudalism and now our current world of capitalism so that's how we critique things and how we look at things through our eyes when we're analyzing something doesn't matter what it is it like be a religious event it could be like a political event it could be just about anything but we're gonna look at it from that perspective and analyze it that way or climate change like conservatives ignoring the scientists exactly there you go so what are your thoughts on dialectical materialism well with under capitalism they instead of looking at proven hard-hitting facts reality science you know they have their delusional ideologies and they just kind of like make up their own rules and flip flop and and and be you know behave like spin doctors as they go along got I'm well I'm 100% against capitalism from its inception because it has I think in long run always failed the lower 98% exactly it's always been rigged like we were talking about the founding fathers you know you had to be a rich Caucasian landowner to really enjoy the the the fruits of the of the new nation of the young early America the Constitution I mean if you were even throughout the 19th century and early part of the 20th century if you were poor you basically perished so as far as you know dealing with reality materialism and respecting science statistically the proof is totally against capitalism we were talking about upward mobility last week the amount of people that were actually able to increase to raise their standard of living under capitalism you know the sort of rags to riches story that a lot of conservatives like to spout you know he worked his way up from the bottom he was he came to this country penniless and now look at him yeah like my my my late co-hosts used to say under capitalism if you do not get a big break in life from someone important or multiple breaks there there is not going to be any upward mobility without receiving the so-called breaks that is where they come from so yeah I mean socialism communism they they they respect the the reality looking at things materialism right and you know the way out like this is just a stress ball mm-hmm latex or whatever the house made and it's not really Donald Trump's head that's the reality but a conservative uh a corporate suck up would try to make this something real special on an infomercial and get people to part with their hard earned money to buy this crap you know what I mean all right so getting to how the delicate materialism is actually applied you know we talked about how it's applied but how is it really applied using you know the scientific method of scientific socialism so they copied this idea from george wilhelm hegel and what the end result was thesis antithesis synthesis you know that is dialectal materialism at work but how it is specific to scientific socialism is ruling classes and oppressed classes conflict and clash and combine but the end result of what communism is supposed to be is the bourgeoisie and the proletariat clash the end result is a classless society through scientific socialism yeah hey i just thought of something what they okay uh what's the touch upon the little science here they they most governments that i don't know if it's only capitalist uh systems but they look they are very determined to keep uh any extraterrestrial evidence a secret from the population they want religion to thrive because i'm assuming religion controls the population well religion in itself well capitalism in itself as its own religion the dollar is god anybody and everybody will do anything and everything to serve the dollar it's a cult yeah it's yeah yeah the dollar is god and and and they and they convince you that you need to go out and shop at certain times of the year by by the propaganda or bullies bullshit commercials christmas carols christmas movies making people feel guilty if they don't go out and spend money they they may not have and uh i know the whole deal they find jewelry zales of k jeweler's jared i know i know what kind of markup they they make it it's it's a good scam but the woman will make the man feel very guilty if he doesn't shout out you know if he doesn't spend like several grand on a stone that is not investment quality so yeah so there it's a carnival uh it's like it's a huckster like a carnival barker or carnival charles right snake oil exactly so getting back on to how it is applied you know with the thesis antithesis synthesis and ultimately the result of the class of society that is what marx and engels said that socialism is the biggest transitionary period and also a big historical development in terms of human history you know you had early man then you had you know the hunter-gatherers of early man then you have primitive accumulation then you had the ancient world and then feudalism and then socialism and then communism so what socialism is and this was also brushed on with lenin because lenin was a marxist but he took marxism and actually applied it he took it from the book to reality you know people say it looks good on paper but fails in theory but what lenin did was he took it from the paper and actually applied it and guess what it worked so lenin was a marxist but he also contributed on to marxist theory he actually took the ideas of marx and engels and applied them henceforth while we had the first communist country the soviet union but how exactly did lenin have theoretical contributions to marxism to create the philosophy of marxism leninism you know as i was saying he took the ideas and actually applied them in real life and here's the contributions that he contributed he took the ideas to the masses but it was one thing to take the ideas to the masses he actually had to have a government based on these ideas because that's one thing marx and engels really didn't discuss was how a socialist or communist government was supposed to be run so lenin came up with the idea of the single one party system called the communist party and that was the party of the soviet union and what is here on my hoodie the cccp the central committee of the communist party and you know they're elected officials just like you know you were in a representative government and then you have a chairman which is like the president of the communist party because the communist party is really the party of the masses and they have complete control in the country and a lot of people put a lot of you know faith and effort into the communist party as well as the chairman or chairwoman let's not be sexist here a chairwoman there can be a woman elected to a position and a socialist or communist country and he also presented the idea of not only how does the government based on these ideas work he also gave you know how can you really tell if you know they're really not acting to these ideals because that's you know what are you not always get well if it's so good and if the government is corrupt how can you really know if they are acting on the ideas or not and the thing i just say is education read the works yourself i mean governments in the past have relied upon people's stupidity you know people being educated is like the antithesis to their thesis so to say that's probably why um um republicans want to do away with public schools they want to they just want private schools to exist because they they pride they want to privatize absolutely everything so that the mainstream population can't afford private schools so therefore you dumb down the mainstream population and uh they're easier to control right and to put in the nutshell you know how everything is supposed to work Lenin laid this out in his work called the state and revolution you know what is the role of the proletariat and what is the role of these the communist party and what is the role of a socialist or communist government just to put it in layman's terms in you know a simple direct forward way as possible the work itself is really not that extensive i mean it's like six chapters but it's very detailed for it to be a work of what is supposed to be the work of the common man it's really not written in common man language you have to have a really good understanding of the english language and you have to have really good reading comprehension because there are sometimes even when i'm reading these works i'm even having trouble understanding what is they're saying and i have a pretty good i have a pretty good reading comprehension skill and i know the english language pretty well would it be equivalent to reading lawyer lawyer language like like the legal language of lawyers uh it was is it that or is it just very articulate as far as using the king's english and using uh more complex synonyms using more complex synonyms but it's very elaborate and very detailed but the way they present it is if you really have no background or understanding of what it is they're talking about it's not really going to appeal to you and you're really not going to understand it you need a background to understand what it is that they're talking about because if someone were to just pick up you know the communist manifesto or the state and revolution and read it they'll be like what the hell is this someone pull this out of their ass no it like i said it's not going to make any sense but that is how lennon had his biggest confusion to what is you know what a lot of socials and communist practice is marxism lennonism so the his the quick history of the soviet union with lennon so when lennon came into power with the bolshevik revolution he had leon trotsky as his second in command but after lennon died after dealing with all the problems that he had to deal with you know there was the end of world war one and you know there were there was an imperialist invasion from the imperialist powers in europe during world war one into russia and he sent leon trotsky to um try to make peace for amends and eventually he got them to get out of the war but then there was the russian civil war where those who were loyal to the czar were trying to overthrow the new bolshevik government after the bolshevik government over through the provisional government after czar and nicolas stepped down so after he had the whole entire rohr family executed in the late 19 teens um lennon had a few years of you know developing what would eventually become the soviet union and then when he fell ill he had to pick a successor and he originally wanted leon trotsky to be his successor or successor and then joseph stalin made his rank up through the bolsheviks and leon trotsky and stalin hated each other because stalin was more of the alpha radical type of the bolshevik but even though trotsky was a menschewik at first he was like the the moderate voice when he joined over to the bolsheviks he became like the moderate voice and the two just conflicted and clashed so after stalin exiled trotsky trotsky wrote various works when he was in exile and what was the nail in trotsky's coffin was he wrote how stalin and hitler were ultimately going to be in bed even though the work itself is absolute garbage just the fact that he did that was in stalin's mind going to be a big corruptor of what leon worked so hard to build and that's why he got rid of him and to this day people say stalin should not have been the ruler or the chairman of the communist party of the soviet union should have been trotsky if trotsky would have got into power i guarantee you that the soviet union would not have existed because like i said where he was like the the moderate voice of it he was kind of more of the pacifist he wanted to do a transition through the legislative means in other words he was primarily just a social democrat with bolshevik colors on and that's another reason why stalin got rid of him because he didn't have the revolutionary potential but he also corrupted the revolutionary potential okay and then under stalin you know there's this claim of you know stalin is responsible for the deaths of 10 million people and this that and the other and i was talking about how that claim is from the black book of communism and the black book of communism has been debunked so many different times that it's not even funny but the real story of what happened was it was not seven million dead in ukraine because of a famine so the real story behind it was in the 1930s a unusual weather pattern swept through eastern europe and ukraine was very valuable in eastern europe because they had a lot of fertile land and there was mass collectivization going on and the kulaks and landlords during this famine decided to hoard grain and made people starve and they jacked the prices of grain up and stalin and the so he said no you are not going to do this so he sent the men and dealt with them took their farms and collectivized them so people could have food okay how many quakes to 10 million people dead and that's some kind of dictatorial despotism i don't know you tell me well of course i told you the story about my russian friend alex bragging about how prosperous and and and low stress and happy his life was under leonid breshenev living in the ukraine right you know and uh he says don't believe the propaganda the capitalist propaganda that you that has been shut down your throat as well as the the um uh altered history books that i was born to study growing up uh-huh well right and then getting back to stalin yeah so as stalin was the chairman of the communist party of the soviet union in the 1930s you know while america was having the great depression as a country they were developing and in fact stalin took the to russia from a piss poor backward third world nation and turned into a world superpower in less than 20 years i mean can the united states honestly say that it's done that it took the united states much much longer to become a world superpower than 20 years and i hear this argument of oh stalin uses rain of terror use despotism he used this that and the other okay so as getting back what i was telling you before if he overthrew kulaks and landlords who were hoarding grain and making people starve he went in and fixed the problems where people can have food that's dictatorial rain of terror despotism how i don't understand that i mean if you have a leader who is that strong and willing to do that for his own people that's going to empower people to actually oh i don't know work and do stuff but that seems to just like not really comprehend with some people yeah and what what else came to my mind was how rapid uh um tech um science and technology has become in mainland china and they really are advancing at a rapid rate so i mean i'm putting all these facts between the united states mainland china soviet union uh you know uh how happy they are in scandinavia and just collectively uh taking all these facts and um and right and and it just proves uh how uh rigged capitalism is for the top uh two percent and uh how it's a failure for the general population i mean i mean it's it's common sense that the true the true consumers and the true the primary job producers and the backbone of the economy is the middle class lower 98 percent the more money you put back in your pockets the more the economy is stimulated and of course the capitalists can't seem to uh or they they they grasp it they just don't want to grasp to accept it exactly yeah but um so and then the late 1930s when hitler began his conquest of europe stalin signed a non-aggression pact but that's where trotsky really got himself killed and seen as a corruptor of the revolution and any kind of revolutionary potential was just because he signed a non-aggression pact with hitler that somehow means that you know they're going to be in bed somehow yeah even though stalin signed a non-aggression pact with hitler he knew what hitler was ultimately going to do he knew that ultimately he was going to invade the soviet union so yeah that signing of the non-aggression pact was just for just for show it was just and like a gesture a very indie hollow gesture so stalin knew he had a very limited amount of time to get the soviet army built up to get ready for a nazi invasion of the soviet union now even though a lot of russians and other various eastern european countries as well as western european countries died during world war the brunt force of the casualties was from the soviet union had the soviet union not actually stood up to hitler and the nazis and fought them today we'd all be going hi oh hitler so in a lot of ways stalin actually saved the world because the united states really just had a occupying force to deal with because where hitler split his armies that was his biggest mistake i mean military historians and tacticians have gone over this i don't know how many times that was hitler's biggest mistake was splitting his army well the the severity of the russian winter did the same thing to napoleon uh-huh happened today don't feel that they couldn't get the supplies because when the russians are used to their winter uh and you know it helped them out exactly yeah it's like but just because he split his army what he did was when he split his army he split it as an occupying force and an advancing force i mean it's good to have an advancing in an occupying force from a military tactician standpoint but you don't want to split your army exactly 50 50 how you really want to split that is like 10 occupational and 90 advancement you don't split it 50 50 now hitler had not made the mistake because like i was saying we'd all be going high oh hitler today yeah so while there was the campaign on the eastern european front when the nazis and the soviet union were fighting stahl and the communist party were under a lot of pressure because you know they were tasked with defending their country and if they failed then everything was going to be put on them so he had to make sure that you know the russian morality was at an all-time high and that you know they could actually show that the red army is doing good we are doing good we are going to win this war because if we don't we're fucked not only are we going to be fucked out of our governmental jobs our country's going to be fucked because we're not going to have social mechanism we're going to have nazism in our country so whether you want to get it from a self-preservation standpoint the selfish way or seeing the collective good really being at stake the other way you know it it's subjective how you want to look at it is to send the other so at the end of the war the united states and the soviet union met together in berlin and hell there's pictures online you can find of red army troops as well as united states troops you know shaking hands together smoking cigarettes and sharing vodka together as a celebration of hey we defeated the world's greatest threat that's something that they did together in grand the united the soviet union did the most amount of work but still they both had the roles to play and they were happy they both achieved the goal together but then after um the war and then there was the policy of containment that's when you really saw the rise of socialist and communist countries you know malice china came in in 1949 north korea came in in the 1950 came in in 1950 and then you had the soviet satellite states of eastern europe the 1940s and the 1950s and then you had uh cuban vietnam in the 1960s they really saw the united states and capitalism and imperialism really saw that you know i guess at first they might have underestimated it because they really didn't see like how this was really going to play out but they wanted to contain it but the fact that they contained it made it that much worse and this is something that we as marcheslonist malice are still talking about even today is socialism became social imperialistic now it sounds like a contradiction one thing that's supposed to be so against imperialism actually turned imperialistic itself oh so that's like that's the possibility of corruption in the socialist or communist system exactly like like like um the way mainland china has embraced big business and capitalism uh for for the the very wealthy of mainland china that's not to say that you know socialism and communism is inherently flawed it's just that was an unknown unknown that no one saw coming there was no way you really could have analyzed that this was going to happen it just it came out of the blue this was for once we can honestly say there was no way to analyze or really predict that this was actually going to happen because after stalin died in 1953 and khrushchev came into power that's when you saw a lot of social imperialism where the soviet union really helped out a lot of countries but that's when they really became imperialistic themselves to counter the united states imperialism and the u.s allies imperialist so it was like you had a war between capitalist imperialism and socialist and communist imperialism that's what ultimately created the cold war and it became like you know how can we outwit the other one rather than just actually focusing on the ideas because i think i was saying malice china came in in 1949 and whenever mal was in power um early relations with the soviet union was very good but i believe it was sometime in the 50s or 60s i'll have to look on this a little more there was what was called the seno soviet split where mal saw what the soviet union was going to come of and they did not want to have any kind of social democracy corrupt their system of government and then ultimately restore capitalism back into their country because that's what they saw that khrushchev was going to do that's what is known as the seno soviet split so soviet union often went did their own thing and malice china often went did their own thing as well so as time progressed in the soviet union we saw more more social democratic social i'm trying to think of the word i've done lost my train of thought and i can't word on this one we saw more of a transition to social democracy you know there were pushes for alternative media like liberal and conservative media they were trying to undermine you know the socialist revolution the socialist and mindset the single party system because under khrushchev he brought in a lot of american goods into the soviet union that's when we started seeing the selling of like genes um pepsi cola things like that you know he gradually allowed capitalism back into the country through that method and that's what you know malice china saw but as time progressed with malice china mal later on in life became really reactionary that's a turn are you familiar with that term reactionary reactionary is what uh my grandfather used to say about the right wing capitalist there yeah fascists you see were reactionary corporate fascism yeah all right yeah later on in life mal became extremely reactionary and it became very abundantly clear when he wrote malice three worlds and that's this argument that i get a lot about you know malice three worlds as malice three worlds and malice third worldism are like the same work even though they're complete opposites and in fact they contradict each other and when mal died and the gang of four were outed mal in some ways with his malice three worlds set the groundwork for capitalism to be reintroduced back into china in the 1980s because xin zhao ping brought it back in through market reforms and what really laid the groundwork for that was in malice three worlds theory he saw the soviet union as evil but he was going to align with the united states to overthrow the soviet union i mean that's extremely reactionary thinking that completely undermines your entire mindset and your entire revolution you fought so hard to get yeah i got a story to tell you a true true story right you want to get your reaction all right my my ex-wife she's columbian she used to tell me a lot of things uh i mean the columbian government was extremely right wing capitalist and corrupt uh it it it is like uh it will it was the pride and joy of uh of the bush administration you know they were he was very friendly at that time the columbian president what she told me was the civil war against the uh communist guerrillas they they were called the communist guerrillas the fark uh an acronym i guess uh she says that the uh the right wing capitalist established government would um commit acts of uh uh terrorism against its own people and blame the fark for doing it in the media false flag terror operations yeah right right and she would tell me about this happening just to you know uh to make the the people reject the fark the communist guerrillas and um right and then um uh you know like they're it's yeah exactly you hit the nail on the head so that that that's like the very worst uh part of uh right wing propaganda you know to do that to stop a bus of civilians and then machined on them you know the the army the columbian army doing that so they can blame the communist guerrillas for it i'm not surprised because like i said um i know i gave like a brief overview on malish china i'll go i'll go into it more because i kind of like the beginning to the end but i really didn't tell the the middle so what were some good things that really happened under malish china well mal actually got his ideas from stalling not necessarily stallingism there's not really this thing called stallingism it's like this made-up term that people like to throw out as like you know the the corruptor of um marxism leninism and this that and the other it's just like it's a bunch of bullshit so mal was a marxist leninist but when he applied socialism and there actually communism has been achieved before it was actually achieved in some parts of malish china believe it or not he took marxism leninism and he advanced it so to speak he made it much more scientific in the dialect and materialistic way because it required more of the chinese people becoming more involved with the marxist leninist ideology and wanting the people to have more of a creative input onto it so to speak like you know having a much better educational system whether it could be a much more open and freer um ideas for theoretical contributions and it required the mass line so to speak that was what mal created was the mass line right the best of all of the ideas being pushed to the forefront and a lot of great things happened under malish china the population double despite what people want to think mal killed 100 million of his own people okay like i was saying you know the way to double your population is to kill 100 million of it makes total sense okay yeah yeah the population of the population of the country doubled from 400 and some odd million to over 900 and some odd million i mean that's amazing if you really think about it um health care really improved education really improved because if you would have gone back to malish china and see just how educated the chinese people were becoming you'd be extremely extremely amazed so it was one thing mal really pushed for malish china is to really be educated the exact opposite of what china is really doing now in fact china really doesn't want people to really be educated because there is a resurgence of malism in china right now like actual real malism in china not this fake communist party of china that's really just more capitalistic than the united states i'm talking like actual real malism you know the resurgence of malice guerrilla fighters wanting to overthrow the government retake back the country and reinstate malism back into the country and the government is suppressing it like that so if china is really communist why would they be suppressing something like that in fact they probably embracing it shouldn't they they want they want all those uh massive amounts of drones and lemmings to work those all the outsourced american jobs for for corporate america that's over there you know and then and now i hear they try they try and they're trying to outsource to bangladesh because they work for less but it's you know greed i mean for mainland for for chinese companies to want to outsource to bangladesh that makes them no no better than corporate america yeah but i was also telling you you know they really mal really wanted people to be educated but he also wanted people to be armed that's why for them to say that you know mal took guns well why would he want people to be armed if he was trying to take away guns that's like that is so idiotic that's like selling your vehicle for gas money that's just how idiotic of a statement or a claim that really is well because in in rural areas you would not believe just how armed the chinese people were because you had the chinese red guard you had the chinese people's army things like that ensuring that the chinese people were really armed i mean that's the biggest thing about a socialist country is making sure that people are armed not taking away guns in fact anything they give guns to the people right but as i was you know talking about the seno-soviet split and then how mal became more reactionary later on in life and how it led the groundwork for capitalism to be reinstalled in the 1980s it really ultimately affected the the one country that really had the greatest revolutionary potential north korea i know we talked about the truth no no you put it in the last video the truth about north korea i mean kim il sung nowadays should be right up there with the great contributors of socialist and communist theory along with marx angles lennon and mal i mean he still today still has socialism in his country and he well i just say north korea still has socialism in their country and they still are keeping the united states at bay despite the fact they've been sanctioned and isolated from the rest of the world mean to me that just goes show you that you know that has the greatest revolutionary potential don't you think i mean they've they've withstood the test of time and um as i was telling you about north korean how really we should be we as socialist and communist should really be praising them and really looking at them is and like i said they've withstood the test of time you know they've not become reactionary they've not become you know capitalistic in any regard they've stood up to the united states and imperialism as well as any kind of u.s allies and any kind of imperialism out of anybody i mean hell even to this day they are still keeping china and russia out of their country yeah and um you know they're breathing down japan's neck too probably more than and anyone else but the last segment of the show we should talk about the sudden surge in popularity of socialism today how material conditions how it's being embraced by more people more americans than ever before um i mean i've seen things like this but i i don't really know if america is really ready for socialism i mean they may talk that they're ready for socialism but i don't think they're really ready for a revolution to really overthrow capitalism overthrow the government and install a new government i really don't think america is really ready to do that yeah because because many of the democrat candidates are are loosely using the word progressive but they're really not progressive exactly can't be progressive if you're if you're a centrist democrat or martin democrat some there's no way that you're a true progressive so they're they're using it i guess as a way of pandering to the lower 98 percent from votes to the minority to the to the poor college kids women you know it's a pandering tactic but if they're if they're in reality moderate centrist they're not true progressives right like and i'm glad you brought this up because i know we've talked about this in previous videos because like i was saying i don't think america really has the revolutionary potential at this moment that's obviously that they never will have revolutionary potential at this moment but just as it sits right now they're at this point we're at this point to where it's just like you know people realize that the system does not work for them but they're at the same time too afraid to really step up and do what is necessary to really make a system that works for them i.e socialism yeah it's just a peaceful hipster bonnie to dinosaur protests i love you you love me it's going to do absolutely nothing and this is what we're getting from today's uh progressives or progressive democrats the our the our revolution independence we're getting all this hipster crap where they feel that if they they pick it and you know and and and chant and uh you know arm in arm hand in hand you know like uh no that's not gonna do a damn thing i guess exactly yeah the forces of evil they don't play fair like that they don't make nice nice exactly so like i was saying it's not that america does not have revolutionary potential they just don't have it at this moment because like i was saying they're they're complacent to a certain extent it's like where they realize now that the system does not work for them and is never going to work for them at the wall that's been pulled over the rise is now gone they're like in this conundrum it's like do we really want to keep the system and just perpetuate this bullshit or do we step up and do what is necessary to actually you know make a system that works for us being overthrowing the one that we have there's very like a legislative i'm talking like actually rising up and taking the government back but it is very proactive progressives there's very few true progressives but and there's even less proactive ones uh because i'm running this ad to get people to join us on uh meetup.com nothing i i placed it on twitter nothing people are sycophants they are spineless sycophants is what they are and also there are polyanists that stick their head into sand like an ostrich that just uh you know they're ultra liberals that are desperately want everyone to like them approve of them love them and they don't want to offend anyone heaven forbid they should be offensive to someone i can't get anybody except you and i nobody wants to step to the plate and put their mug you know uh put their voice put their face on a live stream show and say i am a progressive activist and i am pissed off at our system it doesn't work for the average mainstream american i want to do something about it you know i'm part of this i'm part of this you know nobody's stepping up they're all sycophants most exactly yeah but we're in the world would there really be the greatest revolutionary potential right now the biggest part of the world that has the biggest revolutionary potential is the third world because you know people are always talking about oh the failures of socialism well what has really capitalism succeeded where has it really set out to do the mission that it said it was set out to do well hey i mentioned columbia south america there's virtually no middle class or not much of one it's you got the poor you got the wealthy and that's how it is in the philippines and that's how it is in prop most likely every third world country today exactly and that's a fidel kastro quote by the way is yet they want to talk about the failures of socialism this on the other world where's the success of capitalism really been nowhere because if capitalism was truly successful you would have a prosperous 1950s eisenhower middle class exactly which is probably the best decade in united states history with oh by the way with the high tax rate on the rich i think it was like 91 percent exactly so it's just like you know we don't have that here in the united states but the third world because the third world really gets the boot of capitalism you know they really get the boot heels of capitalism you know what mean you were talking about people are going to be like what the fuck are you talking about you know we're not oppressed we're not poor i mean yeah granted we are oppressed in poor here in the united states granted isn't as bad as the third world no because that's really where do you think we get our benefits and where we get a higher standard of living from the exploitation of the third world hey there's a lot there's a lot of middle class people that today in america that are lucky enough to still have their jobs that are this close from being practically in the poor house and getting their mortgage foreclose so it can happen it can happen to all these people that are online bragging you know waving the american flag yeah yanky doodle dandy are look we're the best we're the best god bless america yeah right until you get laid off that that was what neoliberalism really was about was they wanted to export jobs out of the united states because you know the bourgeoisie really did not want to pay the american workers the way they really need and should have been paid so like we know what fuck you we'll just go elsewhere we'll go to these third world countries where they're more appreciative to have jobs and the third world embraced it and now they are paying the price for what they've embraced well conservative capitalists always say they're lucky to have a job at all i'm telling you but the girl the girl i i live with in the 1980s her mother was very well the only only company in uh many all over long island and her her employees were underpaid uh nothing new there and that's her comment you know they're lucky to still have a job they should be thankful they got a job oh really okay all right so which means i don't give a damn if they can't make ends meet and uh yeah and that's what they they're exploiting those people in third world countries when they outsource and what i would do is you know even though a lot of people say uh even some democrats tell me oh no tariffs are bad they're back no they're not you want to be a greedy prick and you want to outsource american jobs okay when you bring those products back to off the cargo ships to the us ports we're going to tear up the hell out of you exactly i mean to be honest it should not have happened because i want everyone to have a job okay because this is where i stand on it i'm not really a first worldist but i'm not really a i'm not a first worldist but i'm not really a third worldist i really like to consider myself like you know i want everyone to have jobs i want everyone to have education i want everyone to have health care i want everyone to live under socialism i want the whole world to be socialist because living have a living wage you have a living wage actually have a good standard of life yeah like norway pays people eight hundred dollars a month just to be a citizen from what i understand but we're not going to do it like that through like a universal basic income and we've talked about that and the uh markets community as well i don't like it i mean it's a great idea but i don't really like it it wouldn't really work in a capitalistic system a socialist system maybe question mark but i don't know i've not really put a whole lot of time into everything about that but anyway getting back to the third world that's where all the exploitation is going on but the third world is starting to rise up and rebel against the first world and they're also starting to step up and rebel against the united states our allies and imperialism as well as neoliberalism because while though it was something that they embraced at first they saw exactly what they embraced and they regret it but now they want to fix their mistake and the united states imperialism capitalism and its allies are just saying no we're not having this because if i went to a third world country where they are really being exploited by capitalism what mean you are talking about it is going to register like that like that like that like that and it'll be like preaching to the choir now here in the united states in the first world i mean there are people here in the first world that embrace it but it's few and far between it's like uh when is a wild animal most dangerous when it has absolutely nothing to lose and you corner it exactly people are gonna the breaking point you know the straw that broke the camel's back and uh and uh uh granted this is what republicans are telling people in central america oh wow they should revolt against their corrupt system yes they should uh if someone is arming them and you know and helping them out uh i mean Juan Guaidó in venezuela is a right wing nationalist backed by the united states yeah i'm glad that nicolas medoro i'm glad nicolas medoro and the venezuelan government have investigated him and have charged him and have taken necessary actions against him but i think ultimately i don't think they've done enough i mean not being allowed to run in a government position for 15 years and not throwing him in prison or executing him for an extreme subterfuge of government i mean he one white o should be made an example of now what happened in brazil i used to see a lot of um posts on twitter about the election that they had in brazil uh a while ago um who who who got elected i mean what type of politician uh i really don't pay a whole lot of attention to brazil because nothing really comes out of it it seems like right now they're just it's kind of irrelevant oh okay yeah whereas the us of course has an interest in venezuela because of big oil uh brazil is just one big party party town party country basically uh yeah yeah they they don't there's no in other words there's no uh a significant natural resource coming out of brazil so it's right yeah but came back to nicholas medoro and venezuela to be honest they should get one guido in prison and execute him make him an example of that foreigners are not going to come into our country try to overthrow us and expect nothing bad to happen because that is definitely what i would do if i were nicholas medoro i'd bring socialism in its entirety we'd have a socialist revolution kick opaque out nationalize everything make everything of for and buy our people and then ramp up our military and make any kind of foreign interventionist examples of so is this why the venezuelan population uh are starving there's a lot lack of food yes because the united states is committing terroristic acts against the against venezuela like in mcdonald's saying you know anytime socialism succeeds the united states and capitalism and imperialism cannot stand to see the success the success of socialism because it completely undermines them it's like the antithesis to their thesis so their synthesis get rid of the problem if they're gonna do it by any means necessarily they're gonna do it through starvation they're gonna do it through terroristic acts they're gonna do it through any means necessary to show oh hey look socialism's failing but we're the culprits of it now get get uh bringing us up into the present i i noticed i i i made a comment on twitter twitter to um alexandria ocasio-cortez's remark about a debate she had with a right-wing republican imbecile and uh well she didn't use the word she she tried to have a fair debate with him and of course you really can't it always ends up bad and someone posted a comment calling him a name which was appropriate and she says you know like in in her own words you know now now you know let us debate but not debates and my comment was respect is to be earned right if the if the person is an asshole or and or idiot asshole combination or greedy corrupt prick uh then you there they don't they're not entitled to respect and a fair debate because they will not debate fairly with you based on facts so if let's say um aoc is throwing facts at in a debate or let's say there's a town hall meeting and and and she's being factual and the other person is avoiding certain subjects like it could be anything it could be scientific evidence of climate change blah blah blah go global warming and you're getting bullshit but in return the network is not entitled to the respect in a fair debate so this is what these getting back to the ultra liberal uh better you know that are so desperate not to offend anyone and to be liked by everybody you know what one of the flaws of many of these democrats today that you know i don't want them to think that if you're a true progressive that you're you're you're a pussy to in the layman's terms well the the put it into a different perspective like if you're going to go about that route i mean trump actually had the greatest potential to really you know get the american people riled up but he did it in all the wrong ways i mean it was good that he got the american people riled up but he did it in all the wrong ways he brought out the bad in people like he brought out the racism he brought out the sexism he brought out the bigotry he brought out the hatred the intolerance aside the other and it's just that was potential but he just he failed to do it i mean it could happen it it could happen to you let's say let's say some media network says hey i saw this gary w owens we dig where he's coming from we're going to invite him on to debate somebody debate somebody let's say it's over global warming oh the polls are the polls are melting blah blah blah and then you get somebody saying you know that it's all lies and you know some big oil suck up is is like uh acting like a real numbskull trying to debate you i mean it's going to come to a point where you're you're going to get so frustrated yeah you're going to say to you so i can't debate this this this jerk off you know i mean i i gotta get tough with him you know now if you don't get tough with him they start talking over you they start like raising their voice and drowning you out that's what these ultra right wing uh corporate horror capitalists do they like right like kelly and kelly and kanth way kelly and kanth way does that when she's on CNN all the time oh i know the uh the liberals and the nannies and the pussies are going to say oh you're sexy cuz you called a woman who's a cunt she's got a mouth like julia roberts it's really big you know and she's and she's yapping louder and louder and she's cutting off chris qualmo boom boom boom boom boom and then he has to start get he gets irate and then she gets worse more obnoxious and you know in reality you know she's um she's like a huckabee sanders there somebody has a glass eye she's not in bread somebody else with somebody i don't i don't know but i honestly i probably would never come on mainstream media just because of the fact of i would not get any kind of accurate reporting on what it is that i said you know they would take little tidbits of what i say and make me look like a fucking idiot and just discredit me because anytime that does not anytime someone that comes on they don't tow any kind of liberal or mainstream well liberal or conservative mainstream agendas or lines what have you they'll either shut them down or they'll make them look like the biggest fucking idiots through video editing to completely discredit them that's why i will never go on fox i will never go on CNN or MSNBC oh they'll definitely uh censor you and and and uh oh that oh i can't say rachel mato's is a big corporate oh god rachel mato stick this black thorn chile where the sun don't shine i will go into this now rachel mato is like that onion that really just makes me want to cry not because of all of the editors that get released from the onion as you're cutting it's like it she's like the onion that really makes me want to cry because it's so damn smelly and so damn ugly it's like how can something be so stinky and smelly and ugly uh that's horrible she's a drama queen and she uh 2016 she she sure her jism was flowing that hillary won the nomination and then it wasn't burning and in crude well we don't have any censorship on our show so i can say jism but anyway jismatic yeah is it dices well i'm i guess well i mean we got about 12 minutes so i guess this last part we'll just what was talking about you know random material conditions it could just be about anywhere we'll just we'll talk about different things about what's going on throughout the rest of the world oh science remember you told me the first science official heart yeah it came out of the soviet union yeah a space program program with yeah the space stations uh hey you know i mean they didn't do so bad uh china has a space program uh that is uh pretty damn good that the u.s media never talks about right but another interesting fact for socially this huge failure see you want an interesting fun fact north korea has a satellite in space south korea does not really yeah we never hear a year about on mainstream american news networks granted their space program is in its infancy stage but hell i mean that's still pretty impressive for them to say that you know north korea is so poor they're so dictatorial and despotic that they could barely be their own barely feed their own people but yet they've got a fucking satellite in space i mean if they were really that bad off would they really have a satellite in space no you know what i should do i the the mainland chinese news network is on uh they have many videos on youtube i should find the video showing their space station and their shuttle and you know and mainland china's up there we don't hear a word about any of the not even the north north korean satellite from american mainstream it got its way into the news media um i think it was like 2014 or 2015 i believe there was a big scare about them launching a satellite into space but yet it really just turned out to be nothing all they did was just send a satellite into space show hey we've got advancement in our space program i mean it wasn't to create some new cold war or to have star wars where reagan comes back from the grave we engage in star wars and this that and the other just that's all it was an advancement in their space program yeah oh by the way lasers work much better in a vacuum of outer space so that that's yeah but anyway um uh we can talk about north korea for a little bit because yeah right now this is i want to really talk about what goes on with them because like i was saying we as socialists and communists should really be praising north korean because they're like the last real stronghold of any kind of socialist or communist remnants that's not this liberal social democratic bullshit and i do want to kind of clarify what i was talking about earlier i meant to say democratic or social democracy with aspects of socialism in venezuela i mean they can't even stand to see any kind of socialism come out in any kind of successful amount because they just they can't stand it because it completely undermines them but that's really neither you know i just want to just clarify that so coming out of what's coming out of north korea um they're not going to be giving up their nuclear weapons no matter what they try to negotiate or what trump has to negotiate with them they're not going to give up their nuclear weapons it's not going to happen he should just scrap this because it's not going to happen they're not going to give up that submarine with the 25 foot sail that's capable of firing vertically missiles they ain't giving it they're not giving that one up um they actually even though they've destroyed some nuclear testing sites they're still building up their nuclear arsenal because well although they now have nuclear weapons and any kind of nuclear weapon is a deterrent from anyone coming in invading your country is good it's a great thing to bring to the table as a negotiation tactic because it says hey recognize us as legitimate country or if you try to invade us to try to show hey we're not a legitimate country we will deal with you with nuclear weapons that is why they will not give it up yeah and i will also say this now um kim jong-un has in some ways played trump like a fiddle because he sees just how idiotic trump really is and even to a certain extent he played obama i mean that's one good thing about kim jong-un is he's very smart he's very educated and you cannot pull the wool over his eyes you pull any bullshit he is going to call you out on it he probably was was hysterical about uh donald trump's comment about the love letters between them and we have a love affair uh some crap you remember when trump was talking about when he you know uh it was a while back i think it was last year well and also to put into perspective kim jong-un is he's not really a dove but he's not really a war hawk he's like right in the middle he could go either way he wants peace but he's not afraid to go to war yeah anybody his sister's very pretty by the way anyway um yeah so um that's what makes him so good at negotiating is he he likes to have the dove or he likes to have the olive branch and he likes to have the arrows in both hands pointing at you saying you have two choices you could pick peace or you can pick the olive branch i'm not afraid to pick either or i can pick either or at a moment's notice it relies upon you my decision relies upon your decision yeah i mean jenice rodman was in the country and he visited kim jong-un they watched basketball because north koreans love basketball so when denis ramen went over he was talking about his conversation he had with kim jong-un and kim jong-un said i don't want to go to war i really honestly do not because i know it's going to cost time it's going to cost money and it's going to cost my people's lives but i will do it if i have to he said i want to make amends with the united states i want to make peace with the united states i want to reunite our country if that means we remain two separate countries but still we just have one flag of korea well the best thing the united states uh and china can do is you know uh offer ways to help the north korean economy you know to to improve the standards of living of their people they are that's what i was talking about in my previous video is that's why even though china and russia are imperialistic they're not going to go in and overthrow the government because they have vested interests in the country because i mean even though north korea has sanctions against them you know china and russia even still today are helping them out they're kind of undermining the sanctions that have been placed against the country right so it's like yeah north korea will gain their independence but they better be damn good and ready and have everything all their teas crossed all their eyes dotted to try to kick out russia and china they will get to a point to where they can do that because like i was saying kim jong-un is really coming back to juche and he really wants the country to become independent to where they can be 100 self-reliable they'll have to rely upon china or russia anymore oh by the way how is capitalism treating south korea uh as a whole yeah i'm glad you talk about that because in south korea there is a lot of sentiment at kim jong-un and it's not negative in fact if anything it's positive and the reason why he is getting so much popularity in the south is you know kim il-sung had his own little following and had his own certain amount of people in south korea that liked him kim jong-il had his own but not really as much but what has really made him popular kim jong-un popular in the south is he's willing to sit down with the south korean president moon ji-in to reunite korea and also in the korean war because south koreans are tired of living under the threat of invasion from the north and they're just thinking well hell if that means kicking the united states out and ending the korean war to fix this problem then that's a sacrifice we are willing to make because the american troops and capitalism that's in south korea the american troops are treating south korean people like shit they don't adhere to their laws whatsoever south korea doesn't need united states any longer nah well they don't need them any longer but that's what's fueling the fire is how the united states troops are treating the south korean people like they'll go in to soul or they'll do this then the other and they'll get into trouble and they think they're above the law oh like like they were doing in the middle east uh uh you know just like like raping women and doing all kinds of uh vile things when yeah how else is capitalism treated south korea i mean it treated south korea good for a while but like i was saying you know where capitalism has developed so much and how the bourgeoisie have become so complacent themselves as well as the proletariat that they just become so rich in their power so entrenched that really who's out there to stop them i mean south korea is starting to become despotic their standard of living is going down their jobs are going down their economy is starting to go down it's just it's gonna be bad now what i don't like is uh with communist countries is they're they're they don't have free open worldwide internet access you know like china like my friend shanghai china says if i if i go to hong kong i have open free worldwide internet access but not in shanghai or you know uh of course taiwan does but you know mainland china does not you know and i guess north korea is the same way i mean i this has been reported on and they must have some kind of outside knowledge of what's going on outside their borders they must have some degree of free access to internet or television because i was saying you know there's this claim that they're so isolated from the rest of the world but then yet how would if they really were in the so isolated of a bubble how would they really know that kim jong-un is having summits with donald trump and the united states and north korea are trying to come to some kind of peace agreement yeah you mentioned that last week actually so it's just like i call bullshit i mean they it's probably not i mean hell even our internet access is not 100 free so really it's just like it's a apples to oranges comparison oh i there's lots of uh there's all kinds of uh censorship uh with the american internet i mean i mean every time uh one time i got a warning from facebook uh concerning facebook messenger you know about uh the nature of my conversation and you know i i think i i sent him a message back i said my my private conversations are really none of your business you know it's not like i'm doing it publicly i'm doing it privately and and you know they i get a a warning about the facebook community standards which is hypocritical as hell because they spam the hell out of you including your private facebook messenger uh um conversations you'll you'll now find spam because of uh mister the control free geek with the with the hawk nose you know he's hey that's capitalism for you the last the last thing we'll talk about yeah about how um you know capitalism has not really treated something really good for this last week i mean it did as a front to show the failures of socialism but now that you know all that's just gone by the wayside they really just honestly care less anymore if che grovara were still alive i think he probably would have moved north korea because it's like the last real remnants of any kind of socialism left like real hardline marxist lennonist socialism or communism left in this world and where they've now gone away from saun gone their military first policy now back to juce their country is doing great despite what other people want to say thing believe what have you they're doing great i mean there's this thing that they say that you can't have a cell phone in north korea yeah people own cell phones in the country you say they can't own computers they own computers in the country so you can't own a car there's people in the country that own cars it's just what they say about this country it's just it's not true it's really just not true and it can be easily disproved but getting back to che grovara che grovara was probably one of the greatest marxist lennonist revolutionaries ever to walk the face of the earth because this is what i really have great respect for with che grovara me and some ways came from the bourgeois intelligentsia to a certain regard he was born in argentina you know he wasn't really all that educated at first nor was he really all that well i mean he was very very poor but when he went through the education system at that time it was the bourgeois intelligentsia he went through latin america and saw how latin americans really were living and he did not want to see people in latin america living that way so when he was developing his developing his own revolutionary ideology and he paired up with fidel castro and there was the cuban revolution then there was the um bay of pigs and after the bay of pigs che grovara and fidel castro had a huge falling out here was their fallout after the bay of pigs fidel castro just wanted to leave things as is well che grovara was of the complete opposite but he did not want to leave things as is he said because of the united states coming in and trying to overthrow our revolution we are to nuke the united states he was ready to launch he was ready to get the soviet union back in here with the nukes to nuke the united states he was going to really deal with the problem once and for all because he saw the united states failed at overthrowing their revolution after kicking out their puppet government so he said you know what kick them while they're down let's hit them while they're down was that was that nakita khrushchev uh at jfk during that period okay okay but fidel castro said no i am not going along with this so in a nutshell che grovara said you know what fuck you you fucking pussy ass bitch i'm gonna go outside this country i'm gonna start other revolutions that are gonna have more potential than this and who are going to eventually invade the united states and overthrow it so he left cuba he started different revolutions throughout various countries he did in latin america he did in africa but he the united states just kind of ignored him until he really got personal with the united states and he got more personal with the united states than anybody else in the world ever did when he got to bolivia and was going to have the bolivian revolution at the time in bolivia there were there was a lot of rampant um drug production in the country there was drug lords and things like that and that's how a lot of the bolivian people survived was because of drugs and why do you know coca leaves that grow well in bolivia i think yeah it was like different kinds of drugs to my knowledge it was you know drug dealing down in bolivia well che grovara had this idea of okay the united states has this war on drugs at home but yet they're having no problem accepting money from drug lords outside the united states to fuel the drug war so i'm gonna get really personal with them it don't really cost him his life but he said i'm gonna get really personal with him so he rallied up the bolivian people and there was gonna be a bolivian revolution and the first thing that we're going to do kick out anything drug related out of the country that really pissed off the united states so the united states sent in the cia and they cornered che grovara and they had their guns drawn and we're getting ready to kill him and his famous last words he said i know you have come here to kill me so go ahead and shoot me coward you're only going to kill a man and he was shot over six times point blank point blank and uh he didn't have any um military personnel around him at the time obviously right but that's why i have great respect for him because he really was like the alpha of the alphas of socialists and communists if he was willing to nuke the united states and go to war with the united states and overthrow imperialism and capitalism once and for all when other countries were kind of too complacent to do it you gotta have respect for that and for him to say go ahead shoot me you're only gonna just kill a man so go ahead and shoot me coward you think that's why the u.s is still in afghanistan because of the taliban uh opium production of the taliban yeah but if you go to bolivia today you will see um posters of chevrolet i mean i've got a chevrolet poster over here on my wall his t-shirts are very popular i'll tell you that i see them all the time yeah but they're like they're only just looking at him as like a symbol of rebellion they're just taking it at that face value is just he's just this symbol of rebellion without actually really knowing what the rebellion really is that's why i get so pissed off about people wearing it is they they see the symbol of rebellion but they really don't know what the rebellion really is it's like when college kids uh uh were camping out during the occupy wall street fiasco and there were intense partying you know like a bunch of hippies and uh you know they they they found as an excuse to party and hang out at social gathering you know they i bet a lot of them really didn't grasp the the importance of occupy wall street but then again they did not have a good strong leader like we talked about last week you know that's a similar thing you know jacob art you know the t-shirts is a sign of rebellion like you said but they they do not know the full history of him and what he was about and then when the right wingers say this guy was an evil despotic dictator who killed hundreds of thousands of people you college liberal artard i'm like no no he was not this despotic dictator that killed thousands of people right hey reminds me of the the the recent tricky dick documentary where richard nixon says uh i have to we have to pull out of vietnam we have to pull out of vietnam then he changed his mind and then and then the college students really got pissed and you know with the protesting and then you had the big uh you had the violence against the college student protesting and everything i mean vietnam was like you know a another attempt to try to contain communism but just it didn't work so the last thing i promise will wrap this up because my t-ball practice here in a little bit so what really caused the collapse of socialism and communism throughout the world it wasn't because of some inherent flaw with the system granted social imperialism had its role to play but really what ultimately undermined the collapse of the evil empire as they like to call it i gotta say nothing to do with the inherent flaws of the system social imperialism even had its role it's not capitalism really caused socialism to be well it basically just caused it to collapse it it undermined it by first it was social democracy with khrushchev and bresnev and then liberalism the sealer of the deal with grobachev and that's how it only just fell it got undermined it chipped away and then overthrown by capitalism that's why i keep saying you cannot have social democracy and expect it to work that is why social democracy is so antagonistical to real socialism because i gotta say there's no real revolutionary potential to not only keep revolutionary potential and to actually throw capitalism out of your country it's just it's not going to happen right absolutely you know what thank you gary w owens for another heavy hard hitting blockbuster show and every show kind of outdoes the one before it we did discuss some new topics and we did a little a lot of rehashing of the week before reviewing of the week before but you have a good time and a little bit all right personal engagement there and we'll talk all right bye bye bye
