“Accumulation of wealth at one pole is at the same time accumulation of misery, agony of toil, slavery, ignorance, brutality, mental delegation, at the opposite pole”
Karl Marx

[BobJohnson]

Thank you. I believe I have come a little closer to understanding Marx

[entorwellian]

Going to be honest: I think most of us can relate to Marx when he procrastinated on his assignment to go out drinking, did a rush job on the day before it was due, and manage to pull it off with a good review.

Stalin revised a lot of what Marx and Engels wrote, to instill this idea that the Bolsheviks inherently represented socialism. It's where we got the idea that "communism is the government doing stuff, " once the United States also agreed that the USSR was communist. But Marx and Engels never said that the government could bring about socialism. And certainly not through taxation and social programs. Their idea of the ultimate ideal society was more or less ruled by democratic trade unions.

We have not moved past Marxism because we have not moved past the labor relations that have created it. Marx hit the nail on the head and the contradictions of capitalism he spoke about can be seen mounting in real time.

Make videos about Lenin and Ho Chi Minh too

51:32 They're attempting to push that in America. But it's becoming a challenge since everyone is NOT on board.

I can’t wait to watch! My philosophy professor in college had been given Demerol for a migraine, not realizing it’s a “drug-drug” & taught Day 1 of Marx, well totally lit. She said so many hilarious things that professors don’t usually say bluntly, and it really made Marx so much more interesting. She wasn’t terribly impressed, she’s one of those ethical theory weirdo psychos who actually like to read Haberman & Arendt… but it really opened my eyes to the moment in time and the dangers of “end justifies the means” thinking when you implement an idea. And the fact that Marx would have greatly benefited from being born AFTER the birth of psychology. Holy delulu, Batman! Brilliant but not sure he ever met any earthlings lol.

The greatest political philosopher of all time, hands down. Respect!

[davideaston]

Thanks - well presented; subscribed! This guy ... so important, but so vilified. Like everything, I suppose, it's about trying to find a happy median. 😎

Would have liked to hear more about Engels

... "People with private property, which has often been built up over generations, seldom consent to surrendering the fruits of their labor willingly". This accumulation did not occur through the "fruits of their own labor" but through exploitation of slaves, peasants and workers and their labor. The rich do not work, others work for them. They just accumulate the fruits of other people's labor or the surplus value, which you forgot to mention, intentionally it seems....
