   Software requires labour to create and maintain and the hardware to run on – which requires labour to create and maintain and the energy.

   Karl Marx wants the Kingdom of God, but without God. This is why religion and communism can’t work together and why communism fails.

   Hopefully we'll get a newer, updated video on information, "intellectual property", the free software and right-to-repair movements, and Marxist economics. This is one of the most interesting topics to me

   The fact billionaires exist alongside the homeless in our world means capitalism is a failed experiment. Society can no longer be structured around the exchange of money.

   5:00 watching this after the recent announcement of the recession in the uk is kind of ironic

   I wonder how the capabilities of modern AI (and even more so their potential) would be interpreted within Marxist theory.

   40,000 year old system of “gender oppression”.

   echoing the bourgeois propaganda, masking reality with a thin veneer.

   Wow. Industry doesn't produce what people need. It produces what people want enough to pay for them.
   NOTE: Machines ware down. That's why they figure in depreciation into their cost.

   NOTE: If people can't pay for the products, who will buy them?

   NOTE: Industry has been busily working toward a prevention of ownership among purchasers, translating into a prevention of repair.

   NOTE: Corporations have moved to the realm of multinational where they have no state allegiance, which, I expect, is the problem that has grown over time where no company has any allegiance to society.

   While Marx has been claiming Capitalism will devolve into Socialism, it seems more apt to reduce to Fascism, and, eventual collapse, while another states will move into dominance while fascism spreads itself too thinly to sustain itself.

   Capitalism promotes its wealthy and gnaws at the lower classes till the desperation moves them to rise up, prompting the wealthy to promote a joint venture to protect themselves with Fascism.

   I'm having a hard time imagining a different scenario at this time. I suppose there are still other venues to pursue. ONce the industries pursued debt in pursuit of profits and accumulated capital. Then they forced the working class into debt to maintain a lifestyle. I guess they could put themselves into debt along with the working class. Then there would be truly no other venue to chase. When it goes down, it will be because of default and war I guess.

    I'm rather disappointed that you never touched upon dialectical materialism in this series, considering how foundational it is to Marxist philosophy and how difficult it is to understand. I'd love to know whether you think it's a valid method of analysis, and what you think the next big contradiction would be, should the contradiction between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie be resolved. Or if it can be predicted at all.

    Watching this in March of 2023 it's interesting to now know the 'invisible hand of the Market' is no longer invisible in the USA while it gives us the finger.

    I think what most marxist did not understand in the early 1900s is that elections can be bought with money. Governments bail out capitalist and the bankers because they themselves are dependent on capitalist money to get elected. In America today the capitalist not only own the means of production, they also own the political system that keep it in place. The need to produce the machines that powers our economy has also lead to a technological revolution in the west. It created millions of well paid jobs in the tech sector. These well paid white collar workers aint gonna ready bite the hand that feed them. Inadvertently these tech workers now own the means of production which is knowledge (without engineers or programmers the capitalist have nothing, that is why they are paid well).

    Hey Abigail, on the off chance you'll read this, the storify links are no longer working and I'd really like to read your thoughts on Project Zero, are these articles available elsewhere?

    @thephilosophytube Now do a month of (Henry) George, Marx's contemporary, and come to see just how mad Marx was due to undervaluing the importance of land/nature as an input to production. Georgism holds the key to a majority of the worlds economic and social problems, and you could help spread the knowledge of this fundamental topic that has been purposefully pushed out of academia. If you haven't yet, spend some thoughtful time with Progress & Poverty (1879), or at least check out gameofrent and wealthandwant for a primer.

    Rewatching this series and this episode is super relevant to today. We are so close to a recession, another crash and with zero left to cut. But somehow we will see capitalism limp on I'm sure…

    Instead of assigning people to mandatory jobs at crops we should just do the same thing with the "zero value" software thing. Let's see how that goes.

    Anyone know of any potential bills to abolish the copyright system we’ve got right now? It’s pissed me off for years and I’m losing my mind realizing it’s getting even worse.
