"To be a normal person is to accept a certain kind of discipline convenient to Capitalist mode of production" 👌👌👌

Your knowledge is tremendous and I am very grateful for your efforts. You have encouraged me to dive into Capital again. Thank you.

Wow this series has helped me better comprehend Das Kapital so much. The book is so dense and complicated haha

[mattmacintosh]

first of all thank you so much and good work! some of the things you mentioned are not in the chapter. or is it just me? can't find the part about when the hour and minute were invented, nor much of much of what you mentioned about medieval times and colonial societies, nor the power struggles of the bourgeoisie and the landed aristocracy during 1820. is it possible you brought this information from somewhere else?

[saramir]

Thank you, short and informative, great work

[ssingh]

Thankyou so much sir
You explained this topic wonderfully 💯

[Shatbat]

The thing you said about the struggle between the landed aristocracy and the new industrialists was very interesting, but I don't remember reading about it at all in this chapter. Are we readijg different versions of the book? Is it extra context you are giving that isn't in the book? Did I somehow skip it?

John Maynard Keynes was talking about a 15-hour work week for grandchildren back in the 1930s. We are creating unnecessary work and waste with planned obsolescence.

"Some would argue the struggle over the working day continues to this day" No shit, Sherlock

What date was this karl marx chapter written

[aslisedef]

your videos are great but please cut down the volume of the background music! it is annoyingly distracting while focusing on the intellectual content

[gonzogil]

Would the presenter agree that the more surplus value they accumulate, and the more power they have to purchase elections the less agency, and input they have in deciding the fate of millions? I think Marx would call this ideology. If he would not call that it would be ideology nevertheless.

4:39 "Workers are replaceable" yes, and so are business owners aka capitalists.

[Pglarsen]

2:23 This is a very exact description of the tyrants Stalin, Lenin and the rest of the ilk... not of a typical capitalist.
