Errors in this video: 1. Marxism isn’t a system of government. It’s a systems theory about how modes of production change and replace one another as history progresses. 2. Marxism isn’t a normative statement that “equality is good”. He wasn’t famous because he believed people should be equal. Marxism is famous because, by using the perspective of classes competing over scarce resources (ruling class vs working class), you are able to understand why modes of production continually replace one another as technology develops. For instance, industrialization led to the rise in power of capitalists, making the power of the feudal ruling class obsolete, leading to multiple revolutions as power changed hands and a new system arose.

Just a thing or two about Engels: "Engels served in the Prussian army for about a year, studied artillery there, new combat tactics improved by Napoleon, thought and wrote a lot about catapults, buckshot, bayonet attack, various models of rifles and incendiary shells. His colleagues called him the "philosopher-bombardier". In the spring of 1849, an uprising broke out in the Rhineland. Upon learning about this, Engels immediately set off there, got to Solingen and began there to frantically agitate the workers to take up arms and power. The very next day he had a detachment of four hundred agitated proletarians, leading whom he advanced to Elberfeld. There, first of all, the proletarians, singing German spring songs, opened the prison and dispersed the magistrate, cursing the past. Now the rebellious workers respectfully called Engels "general". But the newly elected leadership of the city consisted mainly of moderate Democrats and cautious socialists, and not of such loose communists as Engels. Therefore, it was decided to entrust him with protecting the city from counter-revolutionary forces, mining bridges, barricading roads, digging trenches and all that, and keeping this charismatic fellow away from real power. And so, on Sunday morning, he rushes around the outskirts of the city, explaining to the rebels that the whole fortification is to hell here, that the city will not withstand the assault of government troops, that here it is necessary to dig up, and here, on the contrary, let the sappers bury barrels of gunpowder. He enthusiastically gestures, showing the people's sappers what to do, and suddenly hears a familiar voice behind him: "My son Friedrich! Is it you and what are you doing here?". The fact is that at that time they did not communicate with their father at all. Engels doesn't even know if his father is in town or not. A disappointed father cursed his son a couple of years ago for the fact that his son was carried away by dangerous leftist ideas, got involved with Marx, joined the extremists, engaged in preparing a people's revolution instead of inheriting his father's business, improving it, increasing profits and all that. When the uprising began, Engels Sr., a man respected by everyone here, decided that so far there was no danger for him in all this, continued his business, did not change his habits, and so he goes to the Lutheran church on Sunday and sees from afar how some crazy charismatic, whom the fucking rabble calls "the people's general", commands everyone here, mines everything here and shows everyone the necessary height of the barricade on the bridge. Looking closer, he is amazed: "But this is my 28-year-old son, Friedrich!". Well, Engels tells him, standing on the barricade and counting the rifles: "Dad, you go from here in a good way, okay? We have a revolution here, in case you didn't understand! Here all the trenches are incorrectly dug, and we are fighting against the imperial government from day to day, not up to you now. Family is not important and is generally conditioned by the form of ownership. And we have fewer rifles than I was promised!". And the father answers him in the sense that: "My boy, you're sick! You played too much and messed with the wrong ones. I know everyone on your Committee, and I'll talk to you tomorrow so that you're not here, because I don't want you to be shot in the head right in front of my eyes, for me it will be a blow!" That's when they parted. Dad went to church, and the son continued to steer the fortification and count weapons. The next day, the city Committee informed Engels in mild, polite, but insistent terms that his continued presence in the city was undesirable because he was overreacting in every sense, provoking and confusing many here with his God-fighting communism. Well, the people's general thought, if there is no place in this city for two such different Engels (elite and counter-elite), we will spread our revolution further. With the people loyal to him, he leaves the city and joins the detachment of the communist Willich. In June, fighting with the government army begins. In addition to planning military operations and all sorts of sorties, Engels likes to go on reconnaissance himself, and if the rebels have to retreat, he always joins the shooters who remain on the battlefield to the last to cover the withdrawal of the main forces with fire. This causes delight among ordinary soldiers of the revolution. After a month and a half of shooting, the uprising was finally suppressed. His and Willich's squad was the last one who did not lay down their arms and eventually left for Swiss territory. Immediately after the failure of the revolution, already in Lausanne, Engels receives from his father a certain amount and a polite reminder that it is never too late to settle down and come to his senses. Instead, Friedrich is writing a great work answering why the revolution failed, what should be taken into account and how to act next time. Both in France and in Germany, an arrest warrant is ready for him. He gets to Genoa and, hiding from the police, boards a British schooner there in order to reach London in five weeks, where Marx is already waiting for him. In this sea month, he writes a treatise on navigation, sketching everything that is not clear from the words. Well, in London he already reconciles with his father, gets a job in the Manchester office of the family firm, helps Marx with money, writes articles on military affairs for the American encyclopedia, everyone knows that. And Willich also ended up in London, but there was nothing for him to live there, because he defiantly refused his nobility as a sign of support for the people's revolution. Then he learned to carpenter, became friends with Engels, challenged Marx to a duel, moved to the United States, where he rose to major general during the Civil War. Engels wrote that Willich "professes something like communist Islam." But this is a completely different story." This man is my hero

the most curious thing about marxism is the only countries which went communist on their own were feudal and agrarian. where there was only a upper and lower class rather than a middle.
@Robb19772 жыл бұрын
Well, marx didn't really envision a working middle class. He states in the manifesto that all of history humanity had been divided by class, and now (mid 19th century) that there were only two classes. The emergence of a middle class was not expected for marx, and it happened due to some reforms within nations and companies that gave the workers rights. This was also at a time when countries were flagrantly nationalist and proud of it, so companies wouldn't just go to a new nation with cheaper labor to drive prices down and profits up (as they do now). The reason "communism" starts in so many agrarian or underdeveloped nations is because those places are the ones with stark class divides: land owners and laborers. Marx formed all his metaphors and examples around industrial labor, because he hated the captains of industry, but they were (even if unwillingly) the reason the middle class formed. Industrial society effectively solved the issue addresses by marx. However the opposite is true of farmers, who's lives are a bad harvest away from losing everything, or going into debt with the banks. If a factory fails, it's assets are sold to other factories, and it dissolves. If a farm fails, it's bought by the rich but the farmers stay. That's why communist strikes in industry are usually resolved by unions or reform, but agrarian societies end up rebelling.

@@Robb1977huh. This is really darn interesting to me, I never even made the connection!

Because it's easier to paint him as a malicious psychopath than actually address his critiques of Capitalism. You'll notice none of the Marx haters explain *why* Marx didn't like Capitalism, just that Communism was bad. To directly address that question is to expose yourself to Marx's most powerful arguments. This is why he has posthumously been turned into a cheerleader for the Soviet Union rather than a critic of Capitalism. They don't want people to understand labor exploitation, the origin of profit, and the role of imperialism.

To everyone saying this should be shown to kids in school, I have some bad news for ya. I was a social studies teacher and I can tell you for a fact that not only will most kids find this boring and pay it no attention, but the kids who do won't understand a thing. Kids' comprehension skills are horrible nowadays. I swear I try to explain the same concept five different ways and they'll just look at me like I grew two heads. I quit teaching because not only are kids straight up abusive to their teachers, but it also feels like I'm accomplishing as much with my life as I would be if I were talking to a bunch of rocks. I tried showing a bunch of different educational videos to kids that the comments sections seemed to suggest kids would like, but it seems that they only like them because they aren't being required to watch it for school. The same thing they would learn about on their own they refuse to learn about in school. I don't know what makes them so stubborn about it, either. I guess it's because at home there's no accompanying worksheet or open-ended question to answer, but that's how you demonstrate you learned something. It's one thing to watch this video and enjoy it, but can you then explain in your own words what Marxism is? That's what I need to see as the teacher.

Take into consideration that Histeria! was designed to meet the standards for educational programming set by the FCC. The fact that this is a Capitalist State approved, fictitious depiction of Karl Marx warrants at least some skepticism. For example; the cartoon presents Marxism as being “a new form of government,” and through song, that Marx was proposing Bolshevik Communism which didn’t exist for another 50 years. Marxism, as presented at the was the summary of Marx’s critical analysis of the exploitative hierarchy of Capitalism. I’m not advocating for any economic system, just saying that you shouldn’t take everything you see on TV at face value.

I feel like I had an out-of-body experience. Some fun, additional educational points: -Marx and Engels never saw a *hammer and sickle* like that. Though now practically synonymous with Communism, the hammer and sickle as a symbol was only invented in Russia after WW1. -*Whoever claimed Communism was about equality? Certainly not Marx!* Two perfectly equal individuals would be the same individual. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need," and all that; nothing about equality of outcomes. Part of this widespread misconception may originate with the conflation in Western countries of capitalistic welfare and social spending with socialism so that people assume the focus of Marx and Engels was reducing unfairness at the point of exchange.
