Communist Manifesto Summary With Quotes

[@MattRyniker]

Thanks for watching, guys! Check out the followup video: "Was Jesus a Communist?" here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZC8iaSDh9dkb5Y

[@PACgroups]

Um, Jesus was not a "Communist". There was no such thing until the "Chosen Ones" via Marx invented it.

[@faith4today]

Absolutely not. Jesus never called for the violent overthrow of any social or political system by his followers.

Private property is the means of production. Your home your car your shit is not private property it is personal property.

[@baileymccracken1365]

Abolition is in the dialectical sense, it is the negation of the old to form the new, it is not the total annihilation of the old. This is expressed often by leftists such as engels' famous "abolish state as state", when marx says "abolish private property", he is speaking of the conceptual framework of private property, not to burn down factories and live in an "equal agrarian society". Again, this is the transformation of what was into what is, this process of becoming is integral to understanding marx.

[@DogsOnAcid]

Hegel is hard to understand and this was one of Marx's problems in the way he wrote his ideas. They are very difficult to understand without knowledge on philosophy and it's inaccessible to most workers. Maybe that's why the idea of the Vanguard is regarded by Leninists as so important.

So you want the government to control all media and use armies to enforce labor. You also misunderstand capitalism. It is not a system of exploitation, it is one of mutual self interest. The basis of capitalism is agreement.

This is the first video that I watched from you. I'm from Mexico, but let me tell you that I had always been fascinated with this kind of subjects and intrigue with Marxism. I consider myself a liberal, but that doesn't mean I cannot learn from other ideas. However, I believe that every single man needs to be critical with Marxism and analyze it deeply.

Thank you for this detailed analysis. I'm working on an essay on the relationship between communist China's reforms in the 1980s and Karl Marx's vision in the manifesto, and this video cleared up some major problems I had with the literature.

[@DogsOnAcid]

The manifesto is a political pamphlet, not a detailed analysis of capitalism. It became outdated shortly after publication and what wasn't outdated was a VERY short summary of Marxist analysis of society.

I do remember learning an interpretation about Marx’s views on bourgeois marriage and the way it was described is that marriage was seen as a way to further your wealth and keep money in the family/build more of it, as opposed to a genuine union of love and family. Marx wanted to do away with that kind of monetary transactional system of marriage that the bourgeois class would engage in.

there are still some aspects of the marxist envision of communism that i think everyone agrees on today, such as the abolition of child labor. Even something like a graduated income tax is a very supported idea in many countries.

@@penisbutthole1720 Marx is one greatest European philosophers ever and Marxism is still influencing philosophers. Even thought postmodernists are trying to create new theoretical models to analyze society's structures, his influence will always stay. He's not the father of social sciences for nothing.

if you are poor or disadvantaged or jealous of wealthy/rich/aristocratic then it is natural tp favour a more equitable system, and this is where socialist parties such as communist parties can come to power - hence why poor countries often favour this system particularly if a strong leader - as we have seen in the past

The bourgeois state was issued by the bourgeois class; which defends itself with its judiciary ,police and armies against the proletariat and against other bourgeois state .In other words , the bourgeoisie can only maintain the exploitation of the proletariat with suppression ,so working class could free itself only from the bourgeois suppression with violence. Bitter lesson should be learnt by the Chilean defied by the counter revolution lad by Pinochet with the aid American imperialism, and history is littered with bloody massacres let counter revolutionary bourgeoisie !

He forgot to include the 50 million murders.

[@jerryjones9683]

Um u mean 80 million murdered, and i those were the proletariates. Gotta cull the herd when the there’s not enough bread. Let’s not forget the 20 thousand children who died in work camps after the first year , quarter of a million kids dead by the third year. Marx, Stalin and Lenin lived like the bourgeoisie, while everyone else were sent to work camps to die. Marx, Stalin, Lenin oh and Trotsky all liars . I know this might come as a shock but politicians lie

[@PACgroups]

The United States was the first with the so-called "Civil War", with almost a million murders. All Planks of the Communist Manifesto and much of its dogma had been progressively installed into the US the past 150 years. What people are seeing now is the further installation of socialist totalitarianism via Marxist ideals.

I am against the exploitation of factors under capitalism, however I am not in favour communist manifesto too. Basically Communist manifesto talks about equality in all for however It doesn't deals with basic human nature like greed, jealousy, lust, ethics, sense of belonging, hard work, competitiveness etc tec. How would a human work harder if everyone including his lazy neighbour is earning the same amount of money. Such society will never progress where it's people are content and have no zeal to progress. Karl Marx had never mention the interaction of people and factor of production in such a idealist society..Such idealist society would be a great class for college professor and students ( hence we have seen lot of communism revolts from students and professor ) but talk to an average working class guy. He wants only few things - own house, good name and money in comparison to his neighbor& society, good food and future which can't be achieved in a communist society.

[@nikhil-pd8cv]

Matt, why the hell are you giving Karl Marx so much benefit of doubt? Why are you set out to prove that The Communist Manifesto is not very shitty after all?

[@MattRyniker]

Truth is, many feel his ideas fail when implemented either poorly or by 'bad' people. I give the benefit of the doubt for the person so that I argue against his ideas without ad hominem logic. I agree with your basic assessment, but wanted it to be a fair criticism. See my other videos in this series for my critiques. Thanks!

I think you should read "The Naked Communist". You are giving Marx more credit than he deserves. I can't help but notice you have 665 subscribers right now. I will not be the 666th.

[@erintullius]

I have to wonder if your own personal opinions have shifted given the current political climate. While I do agree that many take Marx's comments at face value without understanding the nuanced language of the time, the fact that Marx's ideas are being used in a literal fashion by many is a dangerous proposition. As a small example, you stated you didn't think Marx meant he wanted to see actual destruction and violence, but that is in fact, what we are seeing. Additionally, I find it very interesting that the modern day bourgeoise consists of billionaire figures who claim to be fighting for the proletariat all while lining their pockets. Even more interesting that this fact goes largely ignored by the left. In short, whether or not Marx meant his Manifesto to be taken literally isn't really the point as it's much more about the interpretation by those promoting the ideals in modern day.

[@LAFC.]

i dont believe he said that the manifest does not call to violence but rather that it doesn't call to senseless violence, it only calls for violence against the bourgeoisie should they refuse to aid the proletariat. And you also mentioned that this book goes largely ignored by the left but i have to disagree. Most leftists DO read this book, the people who dismiss this book are liberals and conservatives. Lastly to answer your last sentence, yes Marx DID mean for this manifesto to be taken literally. It is very direct in that.

[@grumpfrog8602]

Communists don't advocate violence for the fun of it. But it is acknowledged that every revolutionary point throughout history where transition from one ruling class to another comes from violence. If you were in france or america in the 18th century, would you tell them not to seek revolutionary options? It is understood that no ruling class goes quietly. I mean, if you reject the concept that there IS a ruling class, which I don't understand personally, but if you reject that concept then yeah, revolution does seem unnecessary.
