Peck ought to consider doing a non fiction film based on The Gulag Archipelago, by Solzhenitsyn. He won the Nobel Peace Prize. It really ties into the policies of Lenin that led to the gulags. The marxist online library is a great resource. Thank you.

“The world feels crazy and ignorant. That’s the worst part.” R. Peck Amen, brother. Amen. This is one of my favorite interviews from this series. Few interruptions. The interviewer asked good questions and then let the director speak to complete his very elaborate and thoughtful responses. It was calming to my mind and required my full attention. Thanks for that. And thanks Mr Peck for the simple idea of having tools to structure the mind. This is helpful to me.

Wow! As an East African, I am inspired by Raoul Peck. You are a philosopher of our time.

[@BryonLetterman]

What does you being from eastern Africa have to do with any of that?

[@CindyMagara]

@@BryonLetterman That Peck grew up in DRC and has shaped the film aesthetic in Africa and beyond.

[@erwinkunze4091]

@@BryonLetterman - Did that answered your moronic question? I though so.

[@tangabiang5282]

@@BryonLetterman It helps him to understand what(s happening in East Africa on the political and economical stages! comparing to what happened in Haiti...and in France when the young Karl Marx was there.

Mr Peck is such a great film maker.

[@aikonym]

Arise ye workers from your slumbers Arise ye prisoners of want For reason in revolt now thunders And at last ends the age of cant. Away with all your superstitions Servile masses arise, arise We’ll change henceforth the old tradition And spurn the dust to win the prize.

[@SagesseNoir]

I saw this movie and liked it very much. I read Marx and numerous other philosophers while I was a student. But I'd not seen prior to Peck's film a movie which focused on men of ideas, and on their ideas, without becoming pedantic and boring.

Sonner or later capitalism will fall, it is only a matter of time. Thanks for your great work Raoul Peck ))

[@princeandrey]

Yes, but do we have the time?

[@grahamt5924]

Why would you want a system that has benefited so many people, to just fall?

That is the problem We as humanity don't have the Time ! Remember Divided by War is the only Tool in the Capitalism Tool Box

[@BryonLetterman]

It's odd that you took part in capitalism to see this movie but at the same time you want capitalism to fall

[@SagesseNoir]

I would like to meet Peck. He's brilliant.

[@cidacosta6182]

Fantastic! "......not to indoctrinate them, but to give them some tools; they'll do the job themselves; they'll go and read a few books, like they did with Baldwin....." So inspiring, so necessary!!

[@chantaln6843]

Excellent interview! Raoul Peck brings a tremendous amount of insights.

[@elliemccarthy3487]

It was only at certain cinemas , it needs to be shown everywhere , in schools, universities, Karl Marx changed the world

[@SThym]

THANK YOU !!!

[@voiceofchina1788]

I just saw this video. It is so wonderful that I spent New Year Eve and the rest 4 days to translate it into Chinese.Unfortunately, I can't contribute the subtitles.

[@tangabiang5282]

THANKS!

35:40 Host: "because the State bailed out the market, it doesn't have any money for communities..." Mr. Peck: "the State is us; we pay taxes..." discussion about the State bailing out financial sectors, upper class after a catastrophe. We pay taxes as homage to our State; yes, it should be help responsible for providing for our general Welfare. To be clear, our federal taxes do not fund federal spending. Those dollars we pay to the IRS are deleted from existence. The real bottleneck is Congress is not being held to their responsibility of writing legislation that sends the $ the Public's way. 44:35 check out Dr. George Lakoff's YT videos on framing, messaging and world view (one with Tavis Smiley comes to mind). 47:10 THANK YOU! I hear you telling me: at all costs maintain Independence of Thought! Very much needed to hear these words in my advocacy work.

I'm going to see the film on may 7th at the cinema.. so I thought I would watch this interview and its really good indeed was well worth watching.

“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary” ― Karl Marx

[@DSimonJones]

I have been trying to watch this film in the UK. Cant find anywhere to download it from....any advice please

[@SagesseNoir]

Do you mean "The Young Karl Marx"? I'm astounded that such a film would not be available in the UK! I and some friends saw it recently in the USA, and I imagined it showed in England and Europe before it got here.

[@turboed1337]

Simon Jones download telegram, i will send it to you

[@tangabiang5282]

When the movie on Rosa Luxemburg? Angela Davis? Stockmichael? Fela Anikulapo Kuti?

[@SagesseNoir]

Did he say that he was introduced to the work of James Baldwin by two gay Black American friends in UK? That's interesting

[@richardhill7050]

The most brilliant aspect of this movie, very intentionally based on this interview, is the portrait of an intellectual culture. Marx had a lot of good ideas, and some very bad ones- I would almost like to see a sequel detailing the disagreement between Marx and Bakunin about the idea of a proletarian dictatorship. But he was only one of a generation of brilliant thinkers who had a rich culture of debate, discussion and analysis. It's that organic, working class intellectual culture we desperately need today, with all its contesting ideologies and internal disputes. We need to educate ourselves and one another.

[@EinarSchlereth]

A very interesting personality. The first two parts of the video where he is explaining his film and the thinking of Marx are excellent. When the discussion starts Raul Peck is exposing his ignorance about Russia, about China, about Gorbatschow etc. He doesn't know that Gorbatschow today is hated in Russia because he was a traitor acting as an instrument of US-imperialism. What he says about Stalin, Trotzky, Mao is the script of the Pentagon, is exactly the shit we learned at our schools and universities. What he says about Putin is bullshit. Without Putin we would already be in the middle of WWIII. China is socialistic with Chinese characteristics because it is the party that is controlling the army not the other way round as in the US. And the big industries and banks are controlled by the Party not by individuals or billionaires. That's a pity.

Marx was a third cousin of the RotSchild on whose payroll he wrote Das Kapital when he was in London

[@echomediastudios]

These hand held mics are a bad idea.

[@nthperson]

As a life-long student of the great political economists, I came to conclude that Marx's analysis is incorrect. He was certainly right to condemn the factory system and the laws that permitted employers to pay subsistence wages or employ children. He was wrong in concluding that "capitalism" had replaced all of the relations of feudalism. The people of almost every society continued to be oppressed by landed elites, many of whom had invested the rents from land into various forms of enterprise attached to which were protections of monopoly and exploitation secured by the police powers of the state. A rough timeline of societal evolution can be run from the Crusades on to the present. The Crusades opened the Mediterranean to widespread commerce, which required hard money and the establishment of banks as intermediaries. Feudalism's relations based on mutual obligation eroded as the lords demanded cash rather than crops as ground rent and taxes. Peasant agriculture gave way to commercial agribusiness and absentee owners hiring managers to raise cattle and sheep. To the longstanding system of agrarian landlordism was added commercial landlordism, to which was added industrial and financial landlordism. The world's societies came to be dominated by rentier elites, owning not just the factories and machines but the land on which all depended.

[@cincinattiwallfixturesemporium]

he didnt conclude that capitalism had replaced all feudal relationships ya dingus. he said that elements of feudal society existed in capitalism as elements of capitalist society would exist in the transition to communism. Lenin compiles all this in The State and Revolution. read a book
