Nice one! It’s critical to understand that Marxism isn’t some outdated theory, but a living and evolving system of analysis and action. Keep up the good work!

I just had the strangest realization. I had a professor who originally taught Base-Superstructure in my Intro to Elementary Education class. She used it to say that we as educators have the opportunity to assist in the changing of the material base of society through our participation in the superstructure... That professor was based af...

Can't lie I'm very familiar with the basics but, it's great to get a refresh every now and again.

I can’t wait for the video of dialectical and historical materialism. People have tried to explain it me multiple times but it still doesn’t click.

One for the algorithm. Remember, we will prevail Comrades!

Excellent, like the rest of this series. If I had one suggestion it would be to clarify on the Marxist usage of "contradiction." But, all in all, I think you're doing a very good job at avoiding or plainly explaining the meanings of archaic jargon.

reminder that you can go ahead and like the video early!

I love how you are able to explain these concepts in the simplest way possible. I feel like there are way too many Breadtube leftists whose videos are too complex and artsy to the point where I sometimes have issues understanding what they're saying even though I have basic understanding of socialism. Hopefully others can follow this example so that their work can appeal to people who aren't familiar with this topic.

Nice job! Those were a lot of topics you were able to cover. I hope people watching who are curious about these marxist terms will look deeper into them. Paul, you're killin' it comrade! ✊🚩👏

[XiaosChannel]

i'm glad i get to learn all these terms again in english after i learned them in school in chinese... although i would say the way you explained it is a bit academic and grandiose, rather than personal and attached to people's everyday life.

Dad Kapital is a big book, podcasts have helped me understand but this is still by far the best simple explanation of socialism thank you!

[FlashpointKing]

Omg I actually got a communist ad before clicking this. What the hell was that! I was so busy laughing I missed it, iv never wanted to rewatch an ad before but how tho 🤣🤣... Great vid Paul as usual. o7

[missZoey]

Love these videos, Comrade. Always useful to re-familarize yourself with the basics.

[TheJayman]

Looking forward to learning about the distinctions between M, ML and MLM.

Insightful video comrade paul! Waiting to learn advance course 201. I hope that come soon. I am a marxist-leninist and student activist in student federation of india (mother party- communist party of india M). Much love and appreciation from india, comrade.

another really great video! super easy to understand and lays a great foundation to learn more from.

So I'm curious... you mentioned very little about democracy in the workplace via unions and co-ops and I was under the impression that that is key to Marxism. This is what I have learned from Professor Wolff and it is key to my understanding of how we can bring down capitalism effectively.
So I'm curious about what your thoughts are on democracy in the work place?

Loving the series!!! 😌 so nice to learn, and something that finally makes sense in the confusing reality of capitalism
