Great video man! Super interesting! A couple of things that I wanna say though 1. "Ivan Bat'ko" as you called him was actually called "Bat'ko Ivan". Bat'ko in Ukrainian means uncle or grandfather (can't remember for sure lol), and was used as a term of respect. A good example of this is that followers of Nestor Makhno would refer to him as "Bat'ko Makhno". 2. I'm not 100% sure of this, but I believe "Gulyai-Polye" is the Russian name; and in Ukrainian it's known as Hulaipole (pronounced the same but with a soft 'h' instead of the g as this does not exist in Ukrainian) 3. His prison sentence was originally meant to be death! He got it changed down to 'only' life and hard labour, however was freed due to the revolution!

But you're still placing people with capital above those who don't. Capitalism needs workers, and a worker is inevitably beneath the employer in such an instance. I like the idea of keeping a market system around, but how do you see yourself as an anarchists with that power differential?

There is no real discernable difference between localized oppression and nationalized oppression. Monopolization of vital resources is immoral, regardless of the form it takes.

@@JohnBrownsArmory "But you're still placing people with capital above those who don't" I believe that we are all equals as human kind. "Capitalism needs workers, and a worker is inevitably beneath the employer in such an instance." Not always. Everybody works to someone, and are free to be an employer too. "how do you see yourself as an anarchist with that power differential?" All interactions must be voluntary for an anoarcho-capitalist, if not, it is tirany. The coercitive state itself is a tirany. Thank you very much for your reply, brother. Obrigado! 🇧🇷

@@marcoskehl Not everyone can be an employer. You must first have capital. And given that one person has enough capital to hire, and one must sell his labor to survive, the consequences are not equal. . One goes hungry, the other doesn't get to make more profit. Also one gets to set the value of the others labor which again is hierarchical.

The problem with anarchist is that having strong organization is against their basic tenants.

[@HistoryHustle]

True.

[@lumpenproletarier9584]

Being against hierarchy doesn't mean being against organisation.

[@mikefay5698]

@@lumpenproletarier9584 Yes but it could then become a hierarchy. In the Kingdom of the blind the one eyed is King!

The problem Is you actually don't know what are you talking about nor you read about anarchy or actually any libertarian socialists in general ,i Guess Is Better centralizing the power,surerly worked out good.

[@answerman9933]

@@green_crow-b9v All power will eventually centralize, whether by consent or brute force.

Ugh, you could've learned to pronounce "Makhno" better. In standard ways to romanize Russian and Ukrainian, "kh" represents essentially an "h"-like sound, if a bit harsher one. It doesn't sound like "k" in that the air keeps flowing without being interrupted by the hard "k", so if it feels difficult, rather go with "h" as in "yahoo", not "yakoo".

[@HistoryHustle]

Ok. I understand.

[@hrn4757]

@@HistoryHustle Cool. I can't help it, these things just hurt my ears lol. And btw, the stress is on the last syllable in this case, i.e. 'makh-NO'. Also, come to think of it, if you happen to speak a little *Spanish*, the "kh" sound is quite similar to the Spanish 'j'.

Ukrainian Nationalist state ? are you working for RT ?

[@HistoryHustle]

Nope, it was named as such. Its other name was the Ukrainian People's Republic. Both were in use.
