Love your content! Thanks for the ones about philosophers including Socrates, Machiavelli, Nietzsche and of course, this one Marx, they're are awesome!! Do more, please! Suggestion: Kaloyan of Bulgaria Keep up the good work!

I can’t wait to watch! My philosophy professor in college had been given Demerol for a migraine, not realizing it’s a “drug-drug” & taught Day 1 of Marx, well totally lit. She said so many hilarious things that professors don’t usually say bluntly, and it really made Marx so much more interesting. She wasn’t terribly impressed, she’s one of those ethical theory weirdo psychos who actually like to read Haberman & Arendt… but it really opened my eyes to the moment in time and the dangers of “end justifies the means” thinking when you implement an idea. And the fact that Marx would have greatly benefited from being born AFTER the birth of psychology. Holy delulu, Batman! Brilliant but not sure he ever met any earthlings lol.

[@loblollypine8223]

Lol. My polisci prof doesn't even need drugs to be totally deranged. He started swearing at some students who were late

[@Seekersofwisdom-dq9wc]

That’s such a wild and memorable story! Your professor sounds like a character-what a way to kick off Marx! 😂 I love the point about Marx benefiting from psychology; understanding human behavior might’ve added a whole new layer to his theories. And yes, the dangers of “ends justify the means” thinking are definitely worth pondering when exploring his ideas. Also, props to anyone diving into Habermas and Arendt-that's some deep philosophical territory!

“Workers of the world unite; you have nothing to lose but your chains” - Karl Marx When I think of a man who’s ideals stand for the people, I think of no better then Karl Marx. He helped form the framework to free us from the shackles of capitalism. Many horrible men are remembered quite fondly, yet many of my fellow workers think Marx created poor people or hated individuality…… If they only knew how good the capitalist propaganda was fooling these people he wanted to help free.

[@tylercopeland7427]

Free from capitalism to be enslaved by one party controlled totalitarianism i can see why people are drawn in but his ideas have also been clearly proven to be ineffective in reality

[@DorotheaAntonio]

Many judge Marx by the events of the 20th century. Oddly he's not judged by the events in the century he actually lived in. The 19th century is long forgotten.

We have not moved past Marxism because we have not moved past the labor relations that have created it. Marx hit the nail on the head and the contradictions of capitalism he spoke about can be seen mounting in real time.

[@fabiodeoliveiraribeiro1602]

One aspect little explored by Karl Marx’s biographers and completely absent here (and elsewhere too) was the possible influence of English Protestant radicals on Marx’s work. These political theological groups that were crushed by Cromwell defended popular sovereignty and equal natural rights (Levellers), common ownership of things (the proposal of the Diggers; the Levellers opposed common ownership, except in cases of mutual agreement of the property owners), the cult of pleasure and the use of violence as a political tool (Ranters). The Levellers, Diggers and Ranters who wrote pamphlets used two metaphors present in Marx’s work: the world turned upside down and violence as the midwife of history. The use of the same metaphors does not seem to me to be a coincidence, because Marx lived in England and certainly must have had some kind of contact with pamphlets from these defenders of common property during the English Revolution that occurred in the mid-17th century. Was Marx a late secular radical Protestant?

[@MikeLiteraus]

Those groups were just building upon earlier proto communist pre protestant group in the Hussite movement known as the Taborites.

[@maynardwayward12]

Stalin revised a lot of what Marx and Engels wrote, to instill this idea that the Bolsheviks inherently represented socialism. It's where we got the idea that "communism is the government doing stuff," once the United States also agreed that the USSR was communist. But Marx and Engels never said that the government could bring about socialism. And certainly not through taxation and social programs. Their idea of the ultimate ideal society was more or less ruled by democratic trade unions.

[@DigitalFire5000]

You mean Lenin. Stalin just lived longer to carry out Leninism. Lenin is the real black spot on the left that corrupted Marx's ideas.

[@jamesh8654]

Have you ever seen how inefficient a trade union is? There’s a reason why the mafia used union for extortion.

[@montananerd8244]

Thanks for giving the historical context - once I learned that Germany is younger than the US, I realized I contextualize European history really badly & need to refresh myself constantly. The principalities had a whole long history of their own in the territory that was not holy, Roman or an empire…

[@t5kcannon1]

A nation called Germany is younger than the US, but the people in the former have older regional cultural traditions, allegiances and particular loyalties.

[@josephwait7384]

The list of European countries which exist today older than the USA is very small. Just counting the land held between the HRE and the Ottoman empire... Italy unification...I'm not sure if any slavic country is older than the USA except Russia. Not in a currently identifiable form. And that's not even considering just the changes of government. If you count the number of european countries that have had the same type of government since before the USA came to exist.... What would that equal? 1? 2? It's kind of crazy to think about. Because "EUROPE IS OLD AND USA IS YOUNG AND A BABY" which has it's truth...just not in actual country/government where we're the old man of the 'western' world.

[@Benmeglei1]

A profile of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, particularly through his work The Gulag Archipelago, should be presented as a mandatory follow-up to any program on Karl Marx. This would provide viewers with essential insights into the potential consequences of such doctrines in practice. “The line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.” A.S.

Ah so you value workers' opinions on matters of work and the working class. I agree, how about workers own the means of production then? Or are you only against non-laborers when they're upper middle class authors and philosophers, and not the non-laboring capital class that owns all the means of production?

Okay literally all well educated people of the time were wealthy. That’s how education worked at that point. This isn’t the dunk you think it is bro.

The same could be said of the Holy Bible. Marx criticized the times he lived in. He even said that communism couldn't be established in non-capitalist countries because they hadn't gone through the stages. Only when societies were fully industrial capitalist are they ready for the next stage: communism.

1. Almighty Allah is pre-eternal and post-eternal, He is the First and the Last. Neither in His essence, nor in His attributes, nor in His actions, has He in any way any equal, peer, like, or match, or anything similar, resembling, or analogous to Him. (The Words) 2. Yes, if there is anything astonishing in the world, it is such denial. For the endless aspects of order and instances of wisdom in the beings in the universe testify to His existence and Unity, so that even the most profoundly ignorant can understand what blindness and ignorance it is not to see or not to recognize Him. (The Thirtieth Flash) 3. It is as easy for the Lord of Glory to create a spring as it is to create a flower. But if creation were ascribed to causality, then the creation of a single flower would be as difficult as that of a whole spring. For Allah it is as easy to resurrect and gather all men as it is to resurrect and gather one man. (The Words) 4. Man has not been left to graze at will, with a halter loosely tied around his neck; on the contrary, the forms of all his deeds are recorded and registered, and the results of all his acts are preserved for the day when he shall be called to account. (The Words) 5. Come, look carefully at the inscriptions of this vast palace, look at all the adornments of the town, see the ordering of this whole land, and reflect on all the works of art in this world! (The Words) 6. In its entirety the universe is a supreme proof; it declares Allah’s glory and unity with both its manifest and its unseen tongues. Yes, it recites the unity of the Most Merciful in resounding voice, saying: THERE IS NO GOD BUT HE! (The Words) 7. Since the universe exists and cannot be denied, observable truths like wisdom, grace, mercy, beauty, order, balance, and adornment, which are like the colours, embellishments, lights, rays, arts, lives, and bonds of the universe, can in no w ay be denied. (The Flashes) 8. It is impossible for this beautiful world not have an owner; similarly, it is impossible for its owner not to inform people about Himself and not to describe Himself. (Mesnevi-i Nuriye) 9. Work for Allah's sake, meet with others for Allah's sake, labour for Allah's sake; act within the sphere of ‘For Allah, for Allah's sake, on account of Allah.' Then all the moments of your life will become like years. (The Flashes) 10. The universe is a tree. Elements are its branches. Plants are its leaves. Animals are its flowers. Human beings are its fruits. The most enlightening, luminous, the best, the most generous, honorable and pleasant fruit of the universe is Hazrat Muhammad, the Master of the Prophets and Apostles, the Imam of Muttaqis and the beloved of the Lord of the Realms. Verses from the Quran 1. "O men! Call to mind the grace of Allah unto you! is there a creator, other than Allah, to give you sustenance from heaven or earth? There is no god but He: how then are ye deluded away from the Truth?" (Surah Fatir Verse 3) 2. "Your Allah is One Allah; there is no Allah save Him, the Beneficent, the Merciful." (Surah Baqarah ayat 163) 3. "O humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may ˹get to˺ know one another. Surely the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you. Allah is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware." (Surah al hujurat 13) Some sayings of the Messenger of Allah, Prophet Muhammad 1. "Allah doesn't look at your appearance nor your wealth, but rather He looks at your hearts and your deeds." 2. "The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hands the people are safe." 3. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever says I am satisfied with Allah as my Lord, Islam for my religion and Muhammed as my prophet will have earned paradise.” Good KZbin channels that I recommend to learn about Islam. please watch 1.
