Thank you so much for this. After watching this video + the “Why can’t we imagine life after capitalism?” has changed my views drastically. I’m a 15 year old and I’ve always felt that capitalism was wrong but I’ve been always told that there wasn’t anything other option or it was our human nature to be greedy and I’ve believed that for the longest time. I didn’t like capitalism, but I couldn’t see no other way. Ive always been depressed about this and constantly found myself in trying to wrap my head around this “truth” that I’ve been fed. I’ve always felt like we were at the “end of history”. That the world was just gonna go down in a spiral until we eventually brought a self made rapture onto ourselves. To make myself feel better I told myself that I would just get rich and try to help as many people as I can and attempt to try to show people the dangers of capitalism but that always felt like a crazy dream. I’ve always felt alone with these feelings that we can be so much better than we are. That there’s a different BETTER way, but there was no one around me that felt the same. This video really opened my eyes that we can change our systems to help people instead of damaging them and that there is hope.

There are two bad systems of governance in the wold - Rule by/for the ultra-wealthy and Rule by/fort the ultra-poor... Hyper Capitalism / Corporatism on the one hand and Socialism/Communism on the other.... Socialists are thieves and warpers at all levels, like capitalist marketeers. They believe people should be forced to pay to support The Poor so theft is their core principle. -- Proper Marxists/Commies do not believe in property ownership, instead The Authority owns anything of any value, especially the things that enable individual liberty. Socialists will always label predominantly capitalist but still mixed economies (such as Scandinavia) as Socialist which the vast majority of their citizens finds insulting. They consider themselves liberal capitalist + liberal democratic mixed economies and societies. -- You have to realise The US and UK almost went full-on Communist during the New Deal and WW2 until the 1980s for the UK. The main remnant of UK Socialism is now destroyed by PROGRESSIVE INTERNATIONAL LIBERAL LEFTISM. The NHS became the International Health Service and now we have 2 year waiting lists for major operations, with 100s of 1000s of illegal immigrants housed in hotels and homeless hostels that cost an arm and a leg. -- During WW2 Central Government introduced RATIONING, CONSCRIPTION, NATIONAL SERVICE, NATIONALISATION OF INDUSTRY... Food rationing ended in the middle of the 1950s and state ownership of most industry by 2000... It ended because they were bloated by socialists, thus damaging the economy as a whole, making us uncompetitive, and the state was borrowing a fortune every year propping up failing industries. Standards were getting worse and worse and mass immigration took off so Cheap New Labour became available. Privitisation was the obvious next step. Sink or swim in the OPEN MARKET. -- I thought Libs are supposed to be against Nationalism and for Individual Liberty - so why are US 'liberals' so in love with the control-freak failure of a system that is Socialism / Communism / Fascism - you know, CENTRALLY PLANNED ECONOMY AND SOCIETY? Collectivist, anti-individual ILLIBERAL nonsense.

It's easy to be misled by videos like this.... especially if you are as young as you say you are. Ask yourself this..... is Greed something that is unique to capitalism,or is it a human problem ? Do you think Greed can't exist in any other system?? It absolutely does exist under Socialism/communism if you must know..... All I can really suggest to you is read books. Lots of books!! Don't just be persuaded by one video like this or even my comment if you actually read this. Read books and learn for yourself!!! The more understanding you gain about how things work the more Economics will start to make sense to you. I'd suggest reading Ludwig Von mises, Thomas Sowell, and Hayek. Hell you could even read the Communist Manifesto and the more modern "a people's guide to capitalism" books..... just to get a well rounded compare and contrast view of these ideas. Don't take it from me or anyone..... THINK for yourself and make up your own mind..... please! People like you are the future......don't be so easily brainwashed and misled by content like what's in this video.

@@GoldenRockefeller I think that's because they are less developed so governments reduce minimum or have a low minimum wages in those countries to attract TNCs to come overseas and invest in factories and sweatshops so they can economically develop like seen in China and India. This happens as it is cheaper for those companies to invest overseas rather than having factories their more developed countries hence outsourcing. Evidence for this is there is little employment in the secondary sector(i.e. coal, steel working, and so on) in more developed countries like the US and Uk. I hope this has cleared any uncertainties up and have a nice day. This is a very flawed and simplified view however it is an aspect of the reasons why.

Capitalism works us as hard as we may be urged to work, and when we no longer can, makes us feel worthless for it. It keeps us looking towards tomorrow, next week- when we only ever live right here, and right now. Life speeds by and so do we. But hey, whilst you're still here, take a walk outside. Look at the trees, the blades of grass, flowers and sky, and just soak it all in. In my opinion, that, precisely, is what life is all about. Just experiencing the nature of experience, feeling the feeling that is "you"-ness. You are all you could ever be, naturally(as the world has, is, did play out in this instance, with these conditions globally and locally), or you'd be someone else.

In my country, Brazil, after the resign of the right-wing President Jânio Quadros in 1961, his left-wing vice-president João Goulart, known as Jango, took office (in those times president and vice-president were elected separately). Jango started what he called "Basic Reforms": giving the illiterate the right to vote, fighting illiteracy, promoting redistribution of the land and housing for all. The people loved him, even in the State of São Paulo, where his party always lost the elections. His government was overthrown by a CIA-supported military coup, and Brazil entered a 21-year-long dictatorship. He died in exile.

As an ex-walmart employee, I can confirm that we do indeed throw out mountains of food every day. One time I asked why we don't donate what we don't sell and a manager said to me, "why should we take the loss by giving away sellable goods?"I was than told to go back to business school and get back to work.

probably a silly 'solution' (it only helps partially) the government can provide is just taxing the hell out of thrown out stuff. probably already happens, but more tax is just a bigger incentive to donate the food to food banks etc. here in the netherlands it recently became popular to price things at ridiculously low prices (10 - 30% of the original price) if it was only good for one more day. Every evening when that stuff gets refilled and every morning when the store opens there is just a group of people checking out what cheap products they can use. usually everything is gone before noon. just seeing how much food wouldve been thrown out every single day only for all of it to be sold to people that dont have much to spend or given away to food banks (what is past due date, leftovers from the previous thing i talked about, but is edible doesnt get thrown away) is really nice. btw, the hassle to be in time to buy stuff at a reduced price and the fact that it is all close to due date makes it inconvenient for richer people to profit off of this. as inconvenience is the biggest enemy of the comfortable, the people who struggle financially will actually benefit from this.

You know what a representative of the food industry said? - the risk of food containing glass is too high. Less than 0.0001% of food contains glass. - way more food is thrown out in households, not in the industry. So what? Every single bit of solving food and feeding the poor helps. What kinda logic is that?

As a trucker who drove refrigerated goods, I saw this abandoning of produce in almost every state, at every port, at every store house. I was able to "reclaim" a few crates here and there and I spread them amongst my brothers and sisters at truck stops. It happens everywhere, and it is truly horrible. I still have nightmares and PTSD from the things I saw them do to live stock as well. Inhumane is the least offensive of the words I can use to describe the horror that is the meat industry. And don't get me wrong, I'm a country boy, I love me some meat. But I started doing research on where it came and how it was treated. but now jobless, unable to get on disability, and with no way to work, I settle for what food I'm given. I come from a military family, and we all know all too well; America thrives on war. America thrives on the suffering of the innocent, and the death of the freedoms of all people, even it's own. America needs a war every 20 years minimum to sustain itself. And at the rate our politicians are going the next one could very well be a civil war. Welcome all to the age of the civil-cold war. Karma in America is dead; I've fed the poor and desperate, treated them as proper people while I prospered. At almost every stop as a trucker there where homeless. I gave out MREs, Space blankets, socks, razers, soap, and clean water to them. I don't care who you are, what religion, color, race, gender, I count you all as brother and sister. We are all in this together, and I'm frightened for us all. Be safe out there. And be more well than I. In these times, it is best to do as America has always done, offer one hand in friendship and peace, and arm the other to keep the peace from those who are no friend. I am worried for our once great nation.

I live in Louisiana, in Alexandria, which is arguably one of the poorest cities in the poorest state. Let me give you some perspective, we are at the bottom of all the good lists and the top of all the bad, the minimum wage is 7.50 an hour, and the sales tax here is 9.5 percent. As a right to work state you can be fired for essentially no reason, and unions are nearly non existent. We have the 9th highest homicide rate per Capita , and are in the top one percentile of violent crime per Capita. The lowest rates of education the highest for heart disease and obesity, we have the highest incarceration rate per Capita in the state, and country, and therefore the entire world. It's firmly republican and southern Baptist, with a lot of fundamentalism, Christian nationalism, and white supremacy. Yet this used to be the land of Huey P. Long, share our wealth , every man a king. I see this place as probably one of the most antagonistic towards socialism and the international ideals of Marx and Engels, but also one of the places that need it the most ... I'm slowly trying to change attitudes here, I agitate, and educate , and organize. But brothers and sisters it is an uphill Battle. That's why I enjoy videos like this, to remind me why we fight, and to polish up my dialectics, and gain new perspectives. I am glad I found this channel. Solidarity my friends. ✊

When I was a kid, Louisiana was actually a power in national politics and fairly rich, with a working state government, and I remember when the Right-to-Work issue came up on a statewide referendum back in the 70s. The anti-RTW campaign came up with a telling slogan: "Right-to-Work FOR LESS". Naturally the voters didn't listen. Right-to-Work passed and from that moment the state started going downhill. Louisiana is now a Third World petro republic run by clowns, represented in Washington by clowns, a joke nationally, polluted and impoverished, and just about at the bottom of every social and economic metric. New Orleans is the only reason people from the outside world even come to this rinky-dink state and gets fucked over in Baton Rouge at every opportunity. Louisiana elected the anti-Long, Booby Swindle, as governor, who proceeded to wreck or privatise (same thing, really) the state health care and public university systems as far as possible. Now it's getting set to elect some idiot Trumpslave as governor and is already embracing Red State fascism.

There's 2 beliefs: 1. You take care of me and Ill take care of you - Socialism, 2. Ill take care of me for you, and you take care of you for me - Capitalism. Where people say "why cant we choose to take care about one another." is usually when they choose not to take care of themselves and depend on someone else to take care of them. That's not compassion. The real challenge is 'care' can mean different things. Do we let the individual choose how much or little they should have OR do we let the government tell us how much or little we should have. If you look at Cuba, they care very little for their people. They limit how much food you are allowed to buy (assuming you have the money.) In Cuba It's illegal to kill and eat your own cow. It's illegal to sell things to make money. Why? Because the government has already decided the care you deserve. Their leader recently said, "All you need is lemonade." You don't need food, running water or electricity... just lemonade. Of course the government officials sit high and mighty with everything they want and need. They are allowed 4 eggs per person per month, a few cups of rice, and 1lb of chicken (which you still have to pay for). Why? Because THE GOVERNMENT is taking care of you and they determine what you should have. They have free health care, but no medications and no pain killers and only the doctors that cannot flee stay. They will let you die in the street. They will let you starve to death. If you own something, they take it. Start a business that's profitable? They take it and make you an employee. The homeless people in America are better off than the vast majority of people living in Cuba today. When the people revolted a few months ago, they were shot in the street by the government. The people have no guns to overturn the government so they are forced to starve. The government controlled the narrative and shut down the internet. The protesters were murdered, and the government called anyone that told the truth a liar. If a citizen pushed back too hard, them and their family disappeared. Greed doesn't go away in a socialist society. We get to pick. Greed in the hands of corporations where we can at least vote with our $ - Capitalism, Or greed in the hands of the government with all the guns - Socialism. The only people who possibly believe in socialism are the ones who have never seen it and believe the theories over the reality.

In the 70s and 80s, our US-sponsored dictatorship's sole purpose was to "end the communist threat" that is, to disappear, torture and rape anyone having socialist thoughts. The IMF loaned huge amounts of money to the dictators, indebting all of us for generations to come. I hope people from the US gain consciousness so we can all start making a better future.

Not just hard work, also risky work. As taking a risk is a part of capatilism, you willing to use an oppurtunity to improve your wealth. Not in manipulation, most of time you are thrown in a garbage can whent that happens, sadly the law doesn't really care if your filthy rich, so being rich is more of a Backul plan sadly. Still you can't just get there with just exploitation as not every person is going take your shit, capatilism encourges you to support those who support you. You are viable for your decision in what you want, if you're not given what you want you gotta go and find it. The problem Socialism has is trying to determine what everyone wants at the moment they need it, leading to terrible control, then becoming a hierachy when a certain person is given power. Its mainly it just doesn't work by basic human function, people are self driven to help, themselves and others. So in a sense the Money is collaborate effort to gain what you want, at the cost of time and effort. You have to be valuable to earn money, just as Buisness need to be valuable to workers and customers to earn sustainable income.

I once believed the same story that market based ecosystem is inherently bad. Then started to read more about the alternatives. This video also failed to mention that communism doesn't work on large scale effectively. It only works as an idea. Without logical human game-theory. Sooner or later power concentrates in communism and makes it slow and unable to be effective. End game is that this centralized top-down government starts to fear their own citizens and see them as an enemy and concentrates too much effort to make sure they stay in power. Capitalism is far from optimal but personal incentives and self-regulation are better tools at the bigger scale than small villages.

And how it all ended? The U.S.A staged a coup, imprisoned him, spread propaganda that caused the death of the communist party, and installed the vice president, who instead of working for the people, caused suffering. Indonesia seemed like it was the Soviet Union just without the communism. Students were kidnapped and killed for speaking out against the government, military officers were blamed for things they didn't do, and people suffered.

@CRISTIAN TEARE The USSR was counterrevolutionary and one of the first things Lenin did when he got into power was weaken and eventually destroy the organic worker council and trade union movements that had excelled at worker self-determination and workplace democracy, and in place insert extreme centralization, long after the period of war-communism was over. We will never forget Kronstadt and and what the bolsheviks did to destroy it. I recommend reading The Bolsheviks and Workers' Control: The State and Counter-Revolution by Maurice Brinton, it's free on marxists.org. the Bolsheviks actively destroyed organic socialist movements, sowing the seeds for sectarianism: "the syndicalist deviation leads to the fall of the dictatorship of the proletariat" - Lenin. And on top of this, I would not even consider all Lenin's ideas genuine Marxist. His concept of Vanguardism is much more Blanquist than Marxist. Starting with What Is To Be Done? (1902) Lenin said: “the history of all countries shows that the working class, exclusively by its own efforts, is able to develop only trade union consciousness.” This directly contradicts Marx & Engels' views that the revolution can only be done through the working classes directly, not toward some elite group of people. To speak of the proletariat as ignorant people who need to be forcefully led is one of the most anti-Marxist views one can have: “When the International was formed we expressly formulated the battle cry: The emancipation of the working classes must be conquered by the working classes themselves. We cannot, therefore, co-operate with people who openly state that the workers are too uneducated to emancipate themselves and must be freed from above by philanthropic big bourgeois and petty bourgeois” - Marx & Engels, to the leaders of the SDP By 1923, even Lenin saw that what had come of the soviet union was nothing more than the czarism that the workers had fought so hard to overthrow, only with a red-colored flair. “I am, it seems, strongly guilty before the workers of Russia,” is how he started his last speech, of the bureaucratic system that formed and would soon strengthen with Stalin's grasp of power. As Anarcho-communist Peter Kropotkin said: "Unhappily, this effort has been made in Russia under a strongly centralized party dictatorship. This effort was made in the same way as the extremely centralized and Jacobin endeavor of Babeuf. I owe it to you to say frankly that, according to my view, this effort to build a communist republic on the basis of a strongly centralized state communism under the iron law of party dictatorship is bound to end in failure. We are learning to know in Russia how not to introduce communism, even with a people tired of the old regime and opposing no active resistance to the experiments of the new rulers." And another anarcho-communist Alexander Berkman, whom originally fell in love with the Russian revolution so much he came to visit Russia and witness the sight, but after going through Kronstadt and all that the Bolsheviks did, left with the words: "Gray are the passing days. One by one the embers of hope have died out. Terror and despotism have crushed the life born in October. The slogans of the Revolution are foresworn, its ideals stifled in the blood of the people. The breath of yesterday is dooming millions to death; the shadow of today hangs like a black pall over the country. Dictatorship is trampling the masses under foot. The Revolution is dead; its spirit cries in the wilderness. High time the truth about the Bolsheviki were told. The whited sepulcher must be unmasked, the clay feet of the fetish beguiling the international proletariat to fatal will o’ the wisps exposed. The Bolshevik myth must be destroyed. I have decided to leave, Russia. " Socialism will never be ushered top-down, it must be brought out directly by the people.

Not quite, but close enough to make your point. Morales was not permitted to run for re-election, but the political party that he led supported his primary economic policy minister who won the last election. So the Party of Morales is returned to power, even though he is not the President.

@@dinamosflams Is it really a dictatorship if the people continue to vote for the guy year after year? Was it dictatorship for FDR to win 4 elections in a row? I go back and forth on term limits, but it's pretty clear that they were implemented in the US to prevent socialist candidates from getting into office and then remaining so popular due to their economic policies that they never lose. Evo Morales might have done some rule-bending to run for more terms than he was technically allowed, but the guy was also winning supermajority votes in every election he participated in. He was, and remains, overwhelmingly popular. I'm not necessarily convinced that arbitrary term limits should be imposed on the democratic will of the people.

I remember when I studied Sociology in Sixth Form and we learnt about Socialism and I was so confused as to why the teacher was making out like it was bad when in reality...it benefited him! The more I learn about socialism and the more I become aware of the economy of my country (The UK) and having experience working for large corporations that don't care about you, I've come to the conclusion we can't continue with capitalism. For me, it's personal because it's pretty impossible to move out and find my own home unless I want all of my money to go to bills which as a result will leave me stuck in the mud for life.

Because the ideals of socialism cannot be successfully established by governments ruled and financed by those with the most money. The ideals of socialism work best when people apply them in their personal lives. Even things like "healthcare for all" quickly devolve into a non functional system that doesn't care about the individual. I say this as someone living in a mostly left wing-centrist driven country. There's some good things, but not as amazing as they are painted once you actually have them in place.

It's paradoxical in a way. If there were truly no rules and you wanted to keep it that way, you'd have to establish a rule saying that it's gonna stay that way. It's like that "this sentence is false" brain-teaser thing. Or the other way to look at it is that the entirety of human history is "free market," in the sense that governments and laws are just things people have mostly agreed to. They're not exactly on the same level as natural laws-- I mean, try staging a coup against gravity. So people are free to set up governments, give them authority to create laws, and hold the capitalists accountable to them. There's nothing saying it absolutely has to be that way, or any other way, for that matter. This just how a bunch of individual people's actions have added up. Very similar to the way that supply-and-demand sets a market price.

@@frigginjerk not sure where you were going with the high-concept analogies, but the ideal "free market" in economics mostly refers to "no barriers to entry", "perfect competition", "perfect information", and a bunch of rather unrealistic philosophical theories. in practice, every market has some barriers to entry, some far more substantial than others. there is practically no such thing as perfect competition or perfect information, and indeed, most profits come from abusing one's advantage in competition or information. even supply/demand curves almost never meet at a "natural" price point. on the other hand, economic theory isn't meant to reflect reality in exact terms, but to provide concepts and frameworks with which to better understand how economics works. that however, does not preclude economic conservatives from preaching catchphrases like "regulations hurt the economy" or "corporate rights", which are neither true nor reasonable. sidebar, i think what you mean by "free market" is probably 'social contract' - of which, the rules pertaining to the economy are one such example. social contracts are also a theoretical concept that does not involve actual lawyers drawing up contracts; yet when certain social contracts are institutionally formalised (say, in a constitution or legal bill), then an authority can be formed to enforce the terms of that 'social contract' - which by then would be called 'law'. in short, social contracts are informal agreements between groups of people that help maintain a certain standard of expectation, thus avoiding outright chaos. the 'free market' is one type of social contract.

An america that embraces at least some of the tenets of marxism would be a nation that didnt destroy the lives of innocent people the world over, it would be a nation that cared for its own, that addressed the material concerns of the many over the greedy demands of the few. - Just take a look at Venezuela and see what a good job socialism did at taking care of it's people.

So much so that the Marxist narrative has caused people to commit some of the worst atrocities in the last 100 years to redistribute wealth.

I think it's also important though to learn from the failures of socialism. I would say one of the biggest of the Soviet Union (Beyond the police state and autocratic rule but that's obvious) is the anti-religious rethoric. It made them a lot of enemies in other countries especially America and the association of socialism with an attack on Christianity is still here. However socialism and Christianity are not incompatible, they actually compliment each other. What the Soviets should have done is channel Orthodox Christianity and make it central to socialism itself. Of course impliment religious freedom but also frame it as a moral right and moral duty to provide for your fellow man like Jesus wanted you to. It's why China is being so succesful as they don't hold on to socialism's flaws out of dogma but actually change it according to their needs. Capitalism in the 19th century was very different from today and socialism needs to evolve as well. We need to keep in mind that the biggest thing are the core values, the actual specifics can and should change depending on the situation.
