Excellent. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

This is all very well and good Mr. Morrin, but have you considered iPhone vuvuzwayler Greg Orbell's Animal Crossing and 1963 no food evil diccktaters bazijillgorilliion dead? Haha gommies destroyed with fax and logick.

Feudalism is when some watery tart lobs a sword at you and then you king

i am v e r y excited for this series because i do actually have a lot of questions

[houseboundhuman]

I have a very basic knowledge of communism and have been wanting for a long time to learn more but anything I've found that explains it is to complex or wordy for my cognitive disabilities to keep up with. But this is perfect, short and easy to understand and remember.

Really looking forward to watching this series, it honestly feels like the video series I've been waiting for!

This is so helpful! I'm gonna share with as many people as I can. Thanks Paul, I know this kind of video format takes time and comes with it's fair share of headaches.. But after even just this first episode, I can tell you it's worth it! Comrade, I'm proud of ya!

"What opposition has not been accused of communist by his opponents in power? What opposition, in turn, has not launched its opponents of the right or left the epithet naughty communist?"

-The Communist Manifesto (1848)
It looks like some things never changes when it comes to people using "communist" as a bad, empty word.

[mitchellbrecht]

very good explanation, especially for stages of material development! Looking forward to the series comrade!

Thank you mr Morrin for enlightening me about communism! It doesn’t sound too bad after all. Shared to my friends and now they’re communists too!

I’m unsure about communism. I grew up in a conservative household and was a “conservative” for a while but currently consider myself some sort of leftist though I’m unsure what I specifically believe. I feel like I’ve been told so much that communism is when the government does stuff and my mother grew up extremely poor in the USSR. Communism and socialism kind of make sense to me, but I constantly feel like I’m somehow being lied to by people on the left because of the way I was raised. I can’t tell if I’m being paranoid or sensible. Overall I’m just a bit confused but I’m doing research currently and I’m subscribing to you.

[lepannean]

well done - I'm excited for the rest of the series! I already have a few people in mind for whom this series should be a big help!

[carlos_herrera]

Excellent intro, looking forward to the series.

[non-standardproletarian]

Aw c'mon, Paul: Socialism = when gov't does stuff. Communism = when gov't does everything!!! ;) Great video. Looking forward to some short vids to point folks who wanna learn.

[sihplak]

[samanthaeldredge]

Great work Paul! I’m excited to see the whole series!

[luke]

[McHobotheBobo]
