   I would like a video in which the implementation of all these theories is discussed in the Soviet Russia and in Mao's China, however perfectly or imperfectly, or shape or form.

   "workers of the world, unite" is a bad translation. It should be "workers of every land, unite". Its an important difference because internationalism and nationalism aren't opposed, they actually require one another.

   I still like your teeth. … Part 1 I thought how good your teeth were. Wearing those braces gave your a good mouth. I also like how your mouth works and what you say showing fine thinking.

   If, under capitalism, you work to generate value for someone else, just be that person who hires others but treat them well. Problem solved.

   See, this is so much more digestible without "Proletariat" and "Bourgeoisie" being included in every single sentence, at LEAST once. That's why I stopped reading Communist Manifesto, I was getting way too irritated with reading the same words over and over and over again.

    Marx is wrong in his definition of value. It is not the amount of labor that goes into making something. It is how much someone will want the thing. The amount of labor invested into it is cost. A thing is only worth making, if the value is greater than the cost.

    So economists think the tendency for the profit to fall isn't correct because there are countermeasures to it? It is correct BECAUSE there are countermeasures to it!

    Despite the countermeasures, Mark Glick published the following figures for the long-term rate of profit in the United States:

    1899 – 22 per cent
    
    1914-18 – 18 per cent
    
    1921 – 18 per cent
    
    1929 – 12 per cent
    
    1932 – 2 per cent
    
    1939 – 7 per cent
    
    1945 – 23 per cent
    
    1948 – 17 per cent
    
    1965 – 18 per cent
    
    1983 – 10 per cent

    It still falls, you can counter it all you want, but it's an uncomfortable iron law under capitalism – where production rises, profit falls over time despite fluctuations.

    ​ @Okuyasu the Dumbass wrote to me that ultra violent revolution was great. This is my response:

    How many people are you personally willing to kill? No one takes people's homes, farms, ranches, or businesses without some killing.

    How are you willing to kill for World Revolution? In battle or like the KGB at the Katyn Massacre, a bullet in the back of the head?

    When you kill, I wonder if you kill for Stateless Communism or the Classless Society? Perhaps that will make it easy.

    Unfortunately, you have a terrible example with Marx. He never got blood on his hands. He didn't show up in Paris in 1848 or the Revolt in in 1871. Where was Marx? I suppose hiding out in the British National Library. Had Marx done 1/100th of the violence and terror he recommended, his reputation would be soiled.

    Engels example was worse. Here he was living the prosperous Bourgeoisie life as a Factory owner talking about destroying Religion, the family and Capitalists.

    This class analysis yielded three definite predictions. First, it predicted that the proletariat would both increase as a percentage of the population and become poorer: as capitalist competition progressed, more and more people would be forced to sell their labor; and as the supply of those selling their labor increased, the wages they could demand would necessarily decrease. Second, it predicted that the middle class would decrease to a very small percentage of the population: zero-sum competition means there are winners and losers, and while a few would consistently be winners and thus become rich capitalists, most would lose at some point and be forced into the proletariat. Third, it predicted that the capitalists would also decrease as a percentage of the population: zero-sum competition also applies to competition among the capitalists, generating a few consistent winners in control of everything while the rest would be forced down the economic ladder.

    Yet that was not how it worked out. By the early twentieth century it seemed that all three of the predictions failed to characterize the development of the capitalist countries. The class of manual laborers had both declined as a percentage of the population and become relatively better off. And the middle class had grown substantially both as a percentage of the population and in wealth, as had the upper class.

    Why had the predictions not come to pass? Even more pressing was the practical problem of impatience: If the proletarian masses were the material of revolution, why were they not revolting? The exploitation and alienation had to be there—despite surface appearances—and it had to be being felt by capitalism’s victims, the proletariat. So what was to be done about the decidedly non-revolutionary working class? After decades of waiting hopefully and pouncing on any sign of worker dissatisfaction and unrest, the plain fact was that the proletariat was not going to revolt any time soon.

    why would someone who has no creativity, IQ, work ethics and resources be equated with someone like elon musk? And how are you prevented from using google, Facebook and YouTube (products of capitalism) to promote socialism? anyway you are already in a socialist society for a year now. Everyone is socially equal in misery and poverty so Karl marx can be proud. Not to mention to total government control and bigtech censorship of freedom and total monopoly , so you can be happy that no capitalist mindset that want to be productive and invent something as an alternative to that monopoly is able to do so…

    Marx was right about Capitalism being fundamentally flawed by its nature and falling into Socialism. Socialist policies are regularly bailing out capitalist economies.

    I know this is four years old but a correction: Marx said that the contradictions of capital would result in workers' revolution and the establishment of socialism, not that the safety net would eventually collapse and capitalism would be replaced by socialism (in Marx's view, if the safety net collapsed before workers' revolution, we would have barbarism and not socialism — hence the slogan "Socialism or Barbarism"

    Ah so there's words for this. I used to film weddings for a company that I could not possibly hire myself to film my own wedding, nor could I possibly have a wedding as extravagant as the ones at which I worked (admittedly I didn't want something to expensive but if I were pulled into the trap of aspiring to be another class that capitalism sells us as a usually unrealistic goal then it would've pained me with longing).
