I would also like to recommend "Why Socialism?" by Einstein, "the Principles of Communism" by Engels, and "Blackshirts and Reds" by Parenti. The former two are short and easy reads and great introductions, the latter is a longer work that goes into dispelling some of the historical myths about the former Socialist experiments.

I once again urge y'all to familiarize with Dr. Wolff work if you're still interested in Marx's ideas and want to know more. He is knowledgeable and has this gift to explain topics of his expertise with awesome ease and humor. Me personally started studying Marx with him and never found anyone else who explains these ideas to newbies, and people who didn't (somehow) heard about Marx, better. Stuff what Dr. Wolff is talking about is very eye-opening, especially in broad daylight of propaganda and simple naivness of people in our very interesting times.

I lump Dr. Wolff together with Noam Chomsky, and Michael Parenti as intellectuals who are incredibly useful for critiquing the USA's sociological, political, and economic hegemony. I must read and listen to much more of their content, but the three combined offer lifetimes worth of very useful content.

@@psychoboo955 It will require institutional power, or at least that institutions do not intervene in the transition. The causes for intense authoritarianism is complex and multi-faceted, and one aspect that cannot be overlooked is societal history, which applies for both russia and china. No country is innately resistant to authoritarianism but the exact shape of that beast will differ in accordance with a whole host a variables. A strong government that is not authoritarian in the manner of stalin/mao is absolutely possible as a base attribute is about the extreme consolidation of power into a single office, it is only this that causes President to equal King, where pre-existing laws do not matter, only the will of the king does.

But they are just contradictions that will go away according to the Marxist theory. Capitalist realism is fundamentally opposed to human nature, because as humans we are always changing and reorganizing ourselves to best suit our needs and interests. Commercialization of anti-capitalist thinking works the same way, ultimately the producers and consumers of this market rely on the same system of commerce that they are purporting to criticize. These contradictions will eventually go away when the workers become conscious of them, causing the workers to organize to overthrow the old system and replace it with one that doesn’t allow for them to happen in the first place.

​@@keenban Can't speak for the commentator obviously, but the idea of a unipolar world with a hegemonic empire is historically simplistic at best and not convincing with specific regard to China's RL development and global strategy. And with regard to Ukraine, Wolff simplifies the war in a way that fits in the declining empire narrative, besides not crediting the fact that it is also part of another (USSR/Russia) declining empire's narrative, it is obviously a corollary of other contingent developments, which aren't intentionally lead by US politics and its hegemonic ambitions. The fact that the Ukraine case is now exploited to some extent to weaken a geo-strategic enemy doesn't mean it's causally a necessary result of that interest, which is however what Wolff and other big talkers of geopolitics claim.

I think that Prof. missed a crucial moment. Past socioeconomical systems fell not just because exploited masses had enough of it, but because each system inevitably gave birth to a revolutionary economic force inside that built a new more progressive system. E.g. for a long time in history traders remained traders, until they amassed enough wealth and power to realise as a capitalist class. And feudal system of course were suppressing and restricting the emerging capitalist class. But the fall was inevitable because capitalism was economically superior. Same thing with a system to supplant capitalism: it must emerge from within and be economically superior for the masses to support it through a revolution.

The notion of hegelian dialectics is not about finding contradiction in one being (in einem Sein/ perceived objekt) or one state of being. It is about either negation in said thing through the perception of a broader field of attributes or finding contradiction and developement in dynamics and historical movement. (this obviously is a narrowed down recollection of dialectics and especially the phenomenology) These Metaphysics were being made materialist through dialectic materialism by marx. What Dr. Wolf describes rather seems to be some form of Derridas Binaries.

I can't recall how many times Dr Wolff used the term "contradiction" in this talk. There is merit in exploring Yrjö Engeströms work that makes contradictions a principal driver in learning about and improving problematic situations though Change Laboratories.

Contradictions are inherent to Hegelian and Marxist dialectical theories.

i think the problem with this is that no one wants to make big picture decisions about their workplace. if you wait tables at a restraunt, im sure the last thing you want to be doing is coming in early to talk about how to spend the business marketing budget and franchise oppurtunities. not to mention what if we hire someone new? then we have to split the revenue even further than what it already was, and what if not everyone agrees with who to hire

Idk if this is exactly what he said but sport players themselves aren’t bought and sold it’s one team buying out the contract of a player of another team in order to offer them a contract for their own team. The player is not obligated to play for the team “buying” them. If a players contract runs out they are considered a “free agent” because it no longer costs any money to buy out their contract since it has run out. They are not however slaves which are owned as property and obligated by force to work for someone.
