Tysm for this!! My shitty online class, which I paid for 2000 dollars, wasnt able to teach this effectively. And now i can finally start on my paper thanks to this!!!

Looking at some of these comments, it sadly appears the working class isn't conscious of itself yet. We still defend our exploiters. Unfortunately, it appears ubiquitous equality is still billions of years away. Yikes.

2:00 that is a historical misconception that the Egyptian workers who made the pyramids were treated as slaves the opposite was kinda true as in they were treated as respected members of society, had good wages and some were even buried next to the pyramids

Edit: turns out both slaves and respected architects worked on that pyramids thanks aishah for pointing it out

Classes are naturally symbiotic. The construction worker needs the employer, the real estate agent, the tax payer and the official. The baker needs his customers, poor and wealthy alike, and he needs the policeman, the construction worker, the cab driver, the city planner, the road layer and the garbage picker. The factory worker needs the engineer, the employer, the distributor of goods, the truck driver, the owners of logistics companies, shop owners, economists, advertisers, marketers, developers, researchers, doctors, machinists etcetera. So are genders and their innate differences. Complementary. Not conflicting.

How is it "greed" if you want to keep what you earned, but not "greed" to want what someone else earned?

[AnoNymous-dhsv]

the true source of the problem, is inheritance. see what is common between the pharaohs and the princes and the nepotism of today.

Assuming that most of the people on this thread are communist/socialist, I wanted to ask you guys why you believe such economic systems would yield success in modern society, especially considering the perilous nature of past and present socialist/communist societies. (States that follow the Nordic Model are not considered to be socialist/communist FYI.)

Me: *seing comments about thanking because they are now avaleble to do their asaigments
My brain: You are not ready to watch this.
Me: How about I do anyway?

Personally I have no opinion on them, as I am apolitical. But I personally believe that they did not *intend* to cause harm via communism, they actually meant to help. And 1800s capitalism was basically unregulated (look at gilded age USA) and far more brutal and cruel than modern day capitalism. Modern capitalists see their workers as less slaves and more as actual human beings, and they don’t do child labor/ not paying decent wages or wages at all (in some gilded age cases, mostly against children and women. The child labor in gilded age USA was truly horrific.) I wonder if, had old capitalism been far less brutal, would they have written the communist manifesto? I do believe hat they were trying to help, and simply misguided, but I don’t know though.

☆☆ta muốn ghi bé bi (hứa minh tuấn-sinh 1994) dạy ta mọi ý hay ở đây và định hướng cho ta đánh ngươi; còn ý nào dở là do ngươi gài và khiển.
¤¤ta hình dung sự ngu si của kẻ ác k có điểm dừng. Nếu sự hình dung của ta có quá đà thì ta mong NGÀI cho ta biết sự thật; chứ ta k xin lỗi ngươi đâu. Ngươi giết người đến cứu ngươi bằng cách cướp ngục, trước khi người ấy đem ngươi ra khỏi ngục. Vì vậy ngươi tiếp tục ở trong ngục dù k muốn. Ngươi chờ người đó mang ngươi đến nơi an toàn, rồi mới giết có được k? Ngươi ngu đến mức độ này sao? Kẻ ác này dù là vì mình cũng k thể khôn ngoan.

In the explanation of how the capitalist made $30 to the labours $10 they left out how taxes, utilities, insurance, and other expenses are covered by the owner not the laborers. Sure the owner makes more they also have more expenses to cover.

liberalism and capitalism is very different....

I think it is interesting when people attack billionaires like Bezos as an example of injustice. He came from the lower class (economically) and educated himself, then left a great paying job to risk everything to start Amazon. 99% of the population is too scared to take those types of chances in life. Bezos should be a mentor to people rather than a villain. His is a story of success. By all means, go and do something similar and maybe you will reap the benefits. Also, be ready to fall on your face because that is more likely to happen. Life is a challenge and when you fail, you should learn from it and keep moving forward.

Profits being exploitation of the working class is a joke. Its the profits that allows owners to buy tools, build workshops, pay the light bill and reward themselves with a wage and also investors a wage. Without the incentive to make a profit? Nothing happens. Why would you go through the risk and headache of opening a business if you would never make a profit? Workers who save their money can also choose to invest in businesses. Where the train leaves the tracks with capitalism is when government favors one business over another. Thats called crony capitalism.... Bail outs and regulations that favor you over the competition. Its almost as wrong as almost. The more totalitarian the regime the more corrupt it becomes. A perfect world is a free market society where most everyone works for themselves. How hard you work and how smart you run your business determines how successful you are. No government bail outs if your not successful. The best and the brightest reap their just rewards while giving others inspiration and drive to work towards the same goal. Instead of a society like Communism in which there is no the government owns everything. Your place of employment, your apartment flat, your car, your fridge, etc. Your only incentive is to NOT make the government angry and send you off to a slave labor camp in Siberia. Today Chinese citizens must win a government lottery in order to apply for a drivers license....

The life of a Wolf may scare a Dog who is chained to its masters porch. There are no guarantees out there in the wilderness....no master to scratch your tummy or put food in your bowl. But I say this with complete conviction that even a Wolf that only lives a short life? Truly lived! And the Chained Dog who lives to a ripe old age? Never truly lived!

Resist the chain and collar that governments try to place around your neck! Live free or die!

I could not retain any of that.... my bullshit meters were going off

Works only when all humans are perfect, you still have to deal with the unwilling to contribute to the collective like most of the NPCs today.

Communists are worse than Nazi's. Marx and Engels were so wrong and paved the way for some of worst atrocities in human history. Marx was a racist too. They had no proper understanding of human behavior and how humans interact. Their teachings are anything but science. They expected all the poor people to rise up against the rich but that never happened. It's not happening now either. Capitalism has resulted in the level of global poverty dropping by over half in the last 20 years and starvation reducing similarly. Once communist China adopted Capital markets they brought millions out of poverty there. Proper Capitalism, even corrupt Capitalism, has been beneficial for the vast majority of humans.
