Hey Dev, I hope it is a mistake and not a misrepresentation, but the socialist meeting is way older than 14 April of 2021. I think it is at least from 2019. I like your content, but this caught me really off guard

[@Xplora213]

There is no misrepresentation. Can these people organise? No. They are too busy falling over trying to establish their control over their group to achieve any cohesion at all. Which is why they are always coopted by dictators - people who forcibly get things done. The weak party loyalists can’t achieve anything.

[@Nathan-jh1ho]

Humans are made to live in small collective units called FAMILIES, or tribes back in pre-agurcultral times. There's a reason once we started having societies, collective like those became impossible. Every society on earth went to drawing property boarders. Attempts to achieved such collectivism always turns into some dystopia. We are not bees, we can't live in a collective society. The greater the population, the greater individualism is required. This is why many socialist/Marxist want to "destroy the family unit". Is because they want the "community" or state to become the new big family for everyone. Which overrides natural forming families and requires such in the formation of this new colltive.

Not that I'd sell probably, the family has been here since 1962, but it's why I'm leery of making fun of anyone who lives with family, I don't know their circumstances.

And that's the main reason the starvation really occurred: the kulaks were the successful farmers, because they were good at it. Like what Zimbabwe figured out in the last fifty years, what South Africa is soon to figure out, if you take that property [farms] from the farmers that are good at farming and hand it to random people without farms, you get starvation. Duh. But that's what communism and socialism really are, that's why they're unemployed living with their parents, 90% of 'em are useless people who believe everyone else is as useless as they are, and that all that's needed is some reappropriation and then everyone will live in harmony; it's like, no: if you take what the successful people have and mismanage it, we all lose out.

Because they see the issues and failures of capitalism (yes it's not perfect). They immediately break in the opposite direction thinking the extreme opposite will solve all of the world's problems. Not realizing it all just makes more of them. They are, quite literally, people seeking a perfected utopia not realizing that it's unachievable. Hence "Not real Marxism/Communism/Socialism." If it failed then it wasn't *really* what they wanted. Which is why when we encounter issues with capitalism or anything ever, we must ensure to acknowledge them instead of pretending they don't exist.

[@JM64]

@@Ricardo-cl3vs National socialism isn't a form of Marxist socialism, scholars the world over agree with me, hell some of the very first people in the Nazi's concentration camps were German socialists, Communists, and union members. And there is actually a difference between Socialism and Communism, Socialism is a transitionary state between Capitalism and Communism highlighted by a dictatorship of the proletariat and a subsequent repression of the capitalist class, Communism results when this dictatorship of the proletariat no longer has to defend itself from capitalists or counter-revolution, and the capitalist class distinction is extinct, to make a stateless and classless society. Tldr; Socialism has been acheived, Communism has not. And sure, I'll give it to you the Socialists *technically* killed more people than the Nazi's but let's break that down a bit: It's 100 million MAX right? Well let's see... that includes a few million Nazi's, and deaths from their associated revolutions/civil wars, as well as taking the maximum estimates of all death tolls instead of taking the middle ground which is always the most likely answer... on top of that I'm pretty sure there's something about potential births counting as deaths... after all that you can take about 40 million off of that more or less... and of that 60 million left over half can be attributed to China's famine during the great leap forward... point is the 100 million number is an exaggeration. As for the Nazi's they were responsible for starting the European theatre which means they get to claim responsibility for all the deaths, with a minimum accepted number of 35 million and a maximum of 60 million. I'll follow my own example and take the middle ground, that's 47.5 million deaths assigned to the Nazi's... sure less than the combined total of all socialist nations but keep in mind the time frame this all covers. The Third Reich lasted *12* years. The USSR lasted 69 years (nice), China is going on 74 years, Cuba has 64 years. Even during each nations respective "peak" death rate, the nation that comes closest is China during the great leap forward and even then that was a perfect storm of bullshit that led to that tragedy. As for human rights abuses: Germany's population before WW2: 79 million people USSR's populatiom before WW2: 195 million people China's population before and after WW2: over 500 million people. Need I explain why raw population numbers are not a useful metric? On top of all of this we need to look at the most important thing of all: *motive*, there's no point in analyzing government deaths if we're not going to analyze the cause of these deaths. A court bothers to make distinctions between first, second, third degree murder, manslaughter, and criminal negligence resulting in death or murder... to not apply that same line of thought to the political sphere is pointless, death is not just a numbers game there is morality behind it too. So I think we're both in agreement the Nazi's were blood hungry monsters out for world domination right? Good? Good. Now as I said before about half of the deaths attributed to Socialism come from Chinas famine during the great leap forward, 30-40 million deaths if I recall, with the rest largely being during industrialization efforts which are always dangerous and carry a death toll, especially in the time frame a lot of these revolutions occured, safety standards weren't quite as strict... the famine meanwhile was caused by a perfect storm of events, some natural (including drought in some areas and flooding on others), some lies (local government officials failing to report drops in crop yields for fear of reprecussions), some policy related: perhaps most notably being the four pests campaign which (as the name implies) sought to elimimate 4 of the most prolific pests to be found in China at the time: -Mosquitos which spread malaria -Rats and other rodents that spread disease -Flys... for being annoying more than anything -And sparrows, which ate grain seeds and fruit The policy wasn't inherently bad, and campaigns to reduce the populations of various species have been done throughout human history with minimal negative effects... unfortunately China went overboard with the sparrow hunting, the sharp drop in Sparrow populations meant Locust populations *EXPLODED* which ravaged crops all over China, a good policy turned into a tragedy due to a lack of communication and proper population tracking. As for the Ukranian famine under the USSR it's a similar story of policy with good intentions executed poorly. And there's not much point in analyzing deaths of political opponents since the only useful way to look at that is going by a case-by-case basis. So idk, maybe I'm crazy, but I'd rather have a government with good policy ideas have those ideas be executed poorly than have a government with horrible and cruel policy ideas executed flawlessly. And again, please elaborate on how Socialism is a failure? Under the USSR Russia went from a feudal agrarian society to a space-faring, nuclear-capable, super-power with the second largest economy in the world, on top of leading industrialization efforts across its whole territory. China under Mao *alone* saw its population double and its life expectancy increase by ~20 years on top of a massive industrialization effort, China today is one of the most powerful nations on Earth, nuclear capable, and has its own space program, and the second largest economy on Earth (sounds familiar 🤔) Cuba is one of the better Latin American nations to live in, certainly when compared to the likes of Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico and has a well developed health care system which is quite rare for that part of the globe. Despite the collapse of the USSR (due to many factors, both external and domestic) I'd say socialism has left a solid impression... it clearly gets good results.

27:30 ancient humans did not live in communist communes. Yes, they were transient hunter gatherers, however that has little to do with what Marx proposed, which is a large state entity that redistributes resources to the annomonous plebs from the top. Marx formed a lot of his ideas around "primitive peoples" using information that is now considered widely outdated and racist (Arguably even "colonialist"). Germans had a strange fascination with the "Nobel savage" motif, which is why I don't like reading most German philosophers from the 1800s-early-1900s. The use of the Nobel savage trope doesn't even make sense in communism when you think about how Marx wanted to use automation to advance the worker's interests (Notice how today's communists never talk about that?). A sedentary automated society has no resemblance to a tightly nit hunter gatherer society. Advocates of communism like to claim communism is classless yet the ideology is inherently hierarchical because of its use of state violence. They have the naïve idea that once everyone has their needs met (Whenever that is), the state will just evaporate and the proletariat will assume power... Which would likely just cause a vacuum for capitalism to flourish again. You would not have this in hunter gatherer societies, because everyone in those societies have close bonds due to everyone knowing one another and being related by blood. Hell, even those societies had hierarchies, if not from age than from their roles, such as being a spiritual leader. This was very much the case with indigenous people in north America before colonization, who even had Nations and territories of their own that they competed for. That is the key to their communities, close BLOOD BONDS. These were people who's religious philosophy involved (and to an extent still does involve) ancestor worship. This is why a post-communist society wouldn't be possible (when the state gives up power to the people), because people generally don't have as much of a vested interest in supporting their community when they are surrounded by strangers. A "socialized" society does not function very well when you don't even know your neighbors, this is why communist countries always produce communities that willingly steal and backstab one another. Hilariously enough, I think communist societies would look more like those small rural towns socialists claim to hate so much. A cluster of insular communities that produce their own "means of production" that have established their own weird religious/cult enclaves, similar to Hutterites. That is what "real" communism would look like, just with less patriarchal control.

[@b-chroniumproductions3177]

Many of the things that communists claim to hate so much actually exhibit some of the ideal characteristics of a "real communist society". For another example: the traditional family, who shares the food etc. In fact, it's probably WHY communists hate these things so much - they stand in their way, and they must be replaced by the state.

They'll end up a bunch of filthy hippies digging in the dirt out in the middle of nowhere and no one will care. As I understand it, there are already places like that in the US. That's the beauty of capitalism - it allows for people to do that sort of thing. Personally, I'm hoping it goes the distance with the lulz and in twenty years we get a documentary about the lone psycho in the dried out husk of his commune, spending his days in smeared joker facepaint, yelling at the empty shacks as if he was still making youtube videos.

We've seen similar stuff before and usually the guys who lead these 'communes' treat their males peers like serfs and their female peers like concubines. I wonder how this will turn out if those two roles are reveresed.

For a "trained Marxist" she has a real hard time with the basic Marxist proscription on property ownership and wealth accumulation by either individuals *or* familial groups.

Marx is perfect for these race hustlers, though. Like I've always said, if you actually read the Communist Manifesto it sounds more like a hate speech than a political tract. Hell, if memory serves, at one point Marx even accuses the bourgeois of "stealing our women."

It's so easy to confuse the Marxian claim that the bourgeoise is 'stealing' and the National Socialist claim that the Jew is 'stealing', that it's no surprise that they are basically the same thing.

Human natural organism has 4 chambered heart (there are some development disorders, but they are rare), but most people learn about it only in school. The problem is not in this knowledge contradiction, but in the fact that this "natural" social order was never achieved despite many attempts (although I know one Marxist who claimed that the red khmers achieved it, but he became an anti-communist and thinks that the next socio-economic formation will be more antagonistic than capitalism, not less, and with more inequality and hierarchies, plus communism is a reactionary ideology).

@@Fighter600 Capitalism is also an errant mass of contradictions. The difference is at least Communists actually *try* to fix said contradictions. Mao even wrote an essay called "on contradcition". Of course transitioning from a Capitalist economy to a socialist one is going to be rough, any major economic transition is. Hell, look back to the end of Feudalism and the beginning of Capitalism in the Industrial Revolution; easily one of humanities lowest moments, kids working in mines and factories, labor rights and safety are shit if not non-existent, you shit in a bucket and dump it into the streets, everyone's sick and miserable.

George Orwell was a hardcore socialist revolutionist. What happens to, what I would call, true believer, because political ideologies are largely beliefs, is they get shafted by real politicians who understand and know how the game works, and leverage that for personal gain. Orwell fought in the Spanish Civil War but the Republicans, including himself, were busy fighting Stalinists instead. Many of the champagne socialists are using buzz words to make themselves feel better, or to make use to foolish youngster to deepen their pocket or get elected. They are safe because in a stable, rational country, leftist coups can be easily dispersed by rational people. If a real or political leftist take power, it would play out like French and Russian revolution. The French revolutionist began to purge everyone, and the first thing Lenin and Mao did when they have some power is to purge other leftists. These people are only safe, because there are people who defend the nation against the left.
