The both wanted the other Europeans colonies. Japan took what was French, Dutch and British. Had Germany defeated Britain they n doubt would have tried to take British and French colonies. In the end the colonial powers were weaken such that they would face revolutions though out the colonial world. The US cried about losing China. .

The basic job of fascism is to murder the leaders of the industrial working class trade unions and peasants who threaten the private property of the bosses. For this service the fascist demand a price be paid to them by the Bourgeois class. Hitler's unions were company unions. Unions set up under control of the bosses. Capitalist governments like the USA are well known for interfering in unions and strikes by use of injunctions and anti syndicalism laws. The idea behind the company union is the bosses set up a fake union with fake leaders to negotiate a contract.

@gg_rider Roosevelt started the second Red Scare witch hunt in 1940 against the Minneapolis Teamsters and Socialist Workers Party with the first Smith "gag" Act trial. Under orders from Moscow the Stalinist Communist Party joined in supporting FDR during the war becoming the best strike breakers Stalinist ideology could create. Once their German and Japanese Imperialist competition was defeated the US/UK turned on Stalin in the cold war preparing for an Imperialist holy war against communism. The failed objective of the Korean war left the Imperialist world divided on how best to deal with Soviet Union, China and the rest of the workers states.

Maybe it would be best if TIkhistory said what he is instead of trying to prove what others are. Seems to me his theories coincide with the Austrian school of economics.

@TheImperatorKnight No ones has created an industrial society without state control. Capitalism is based in nation states. The need for a state arose with agriculture, the division of labor and the cleavage into classes.. Groups of hunter gathers searching for food don't need to protect the surplus of food created by agriculture on land in a specific place. You can't get rid of the state because the capitalist need it to defend their control of the surplus value of production. Any theory that requires private property is going to require a state. Get rid of private property and you get rid of the requirement for a state but not necessarily the need for a new one. The use of state power was just one of the disagreements that broke out after Lenin's death. .

@turtleboy1188 Its hard to avoid the truth. We are materialist because ideas even religion arise from the material world not the other way around.

The thing left out here is the Right Social Democracy always favored class peace with the employers at all costs both before durring and after the war.

LibertarianGalt You right we communists sell books and newspapers and a surplus is collected and spent but much more voluntary labor that gets no payment goes into making ourselves into a movemnet of the exploited and oppressed. The Bourgeois Professor knows better than to bite the hand that feeds him for without capital he risks the fate of the workers to do the bidding of the bosses without recourse.
3
LibertarianGalt The Libertarian seldom understands how the banker begam creating money out of thin air once he could convince the owners of gold and silver to bank with him fpr safe keeping. Once it became possible to lend out on paper what was in the bank in gold it was only a matter of time before there was more paper money in circulation than gold in the banks. The fraction reserve banking of gold and silver banking paper money was born. More paper money in circulation allows prices to rise because the true value in gold has gone down.

The founding of the Soviet Union resulted in an invasion by 14 Imperialist armies from both sides of the Imperialist war over colonies. The German capitalist chose Hitler. Plan and simple. The enabling act would not have passed without German capitalist Conservative Parties unanamous support. The Communist Deputies were denied their seas and all the Social Democrats voted NO.

The NAZI's no doubt decided to murder their wounded soldiers when they were losing on the Eastern Front to save on the cost of care both immediate and long term.

@badofi There are plenty of Bourgeois scholars who decry the mistakes the bourgeois have made after the fact. Most fail to understand that it is the very economic and exploitative nature of capitalism that drives them into Imperialist wars of world conquest.

@haraldbredsdorff2699 When you can't argue with the man's idea then you launch personal attacks.
2
LibertarianGalt No doubt at best an off hand comment or one being misinterpreted by a bourgeois professor who makes a living selling books to those wanting an explanation for the Russian Revolution and the rise of the communist movemnet without doing any of the reading of the documents. If there is a single thing one can say about Lenin is that over and over he denounced Imperialism as capitalism use of war and slavery of other nations to create a few rich criminals. Lenin who called Imperialism the highest stage of capitalism.
2
LibertarianGalt If Mussolini had waged war against the Italian king uniting the nation around that goal instead of around the goal of enter the war for a peace of the pie being taken by France, Britain and United States. The Imperialist war had broken out and unlike the "Socialist" in name only leaders of Germany and France they had kept to the promise of not entering the war. Yet the Italians did not use this opportunity to advance against the King and the nobility.
2
LibertarianGalt . "They weren't Socialists only in name. Marx wasn't even the first Socialist." Are going to lecture me next on how Christ was a Communist? That comes from the fact that in 1912 the Socialist International announced its parties would not lead the workers into a war with each other. When they did vote for war credits then it was most likely Lenin who began mocking them as Socialist in name only.
2
LibertarianGalt I don't really care about Hegel. Many people have had mystical ideas about some things and good ones about others. After all should I reject Jefferson's ideas on Church and State because he still believed in God? Sure belief in God is mystical but does it make a difference 95% or 99% of the time? See that's you problem you think we are on some kind of crusade to create ideological purity.
2
LibertarianGalt You guys are the real mystics with your belief in free market magic price signalling and the ability to escape labor value in prices.
2
LibertarianGalt Where does the profit come from then?
2
LibertarianGalt After all isn't the cost of labor the cost of the laborer to produce his labor for the next pay period.
2
@arianGalt Doesn't really answer the question because first if the service is illegal one can't legally buy it and not all business create profits all the time and businesses both compete and cooperate in making profits. The person who owns pays a capital gains tax needs only to own a business not run it so obviously you don'r have to offer a service ayt all just own the business to make a profit. What is the biggest business in the world if not the US Gov't if you buy its Treasury bonds your are guaranteed a profit. They talk endlessly about government but the clearly can't do without government or banks public or private. You have to be able to buy his services and he has to be able to hire people to create them. You can quit and work somewhere else and he can fire you and he can hire someone else. You can go on strike and he can close his shop and open it somewhere else. Of course its easier for you to go on strike than it is for him to just close down an auto factory or electric plant or coal mine or railroad. What if they say they can't make profits and close a bunch of businesses all at once. Who can wait longer for a business recovery you or the businessman?
2
@arianGalt If that was true there would be no arrests for corruption since someone is just selling a service others wish to buy. Go into an auto repair shop see if you can buy the service directly from the mechanic. Afterall he provides the service. The joke is go to America everything is for sale. The new immigrant gets off the boat he says I hear everything is for sale they tell him yes would you like to buy the brooklyn bridge or at least part of it?
2
The US President FDR the Democrat wanted war just as Wilson the Democrat did. Both lied about not wanting war. Oil was also part of what began the war with Japan the US refused to sell to Japan. That of course was a decision of the Standard Oil Monopolists despite being broken up into a number of companies. The US was secretly aiding the British sending American Officers who were already fighting with Japan in the Far East.

@night6724 Hitler built a movement of political thugs based in a demoralized middle class suffering under the impact of Germany's defeat, war veterans and criminals. The capitalist turned to him with the fear of a coming socialist revolution being unstoppable. He would of course extract a heavy price for services rendered. But his promises of a Greater Germany. a thousand year Reich and a role for the national socialist employer was the much more attractive of the three alternatives.
2
So what is this suppose to prove besides Hitler being a liar about his own history? Plenty of people have changed their politics. Including one of the founders of the modern American Conservative movement Professor James Burnham a one time supporter of Leon Trotsky. Notice that the ideas that seperate them are not discussed but instead who belonged to which group. So when you get down to it British Nationalism Like the White Man's burden and America's Social Darwinism is really closer to Hitlers National Socialism. Afterall the NAZI defense at Nuremberg was they had taken their racial laws from America. Anglo American culture is full of racism in defense of Imperialism. And it biggest defeat has been inflicted upon it by Marxist revolutions. A defeat for the nationalism of the capitalist nations by the oppressed colonial nations was one of the unintended results of world war two. The Sun would now set on the British Empire.

The problem that many don't understand is that once you get to the place where you have banks. Banks create money. Now if you don't believe me you need to listen to Milton Friedman when you pass money back and forth between banks you create money privately. You can play a game by yourself on paper to see how this works the banks asset value will rise because because they can count the same deposits more than once if the beginning loaning money back and forth to each other all without ever violating the requirement to keep a reserve on deposit. As long as the money can be just numbers on paper not actual gold or silver you can't get away from this problem. People don't want to carry gold and silver around to buy and sell everything which is how banks came into being. They had to tell people that their money was insured against loss to get back the trust in banks. They also had to create the central bank because of this. How do you have a capitalism without money and banks? Why do you think so many banks failed durring the great depression? They use to issue private money durring the great depression. Why is this possible? Because you only keep a fractional amount of the total on deposit. Now you have the German and Japanese Central Banks having zero interest rates. The problem is that most people suspect something fishy about banks but don't really understand how capitalism involves both the circulation of money and the creation of capital. You think you can just easily assign prices with a market and forget that when you put money into a market it becomes possible to create more money and thereby change all the prices. That's why in a real socialist country not only are they internationalist in out look they try and get away from commodity production the production of commodities for money. This is why in Cuba people appear to be living much better than their salaries would imply.
2
Benedict Arnold was an American revolutionary general until he became a traitor. Huber Matos was a Comandante in the Cuban revolution until he became a traitor. Assuming this is true what exactly does Hitler being a one time communist prove?
2
The reason for calling Amazon a Public company is it shares are publicly traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange. Since it is publicly traded it comes under the rules of the Security and Exchanges commission whach was set up as part of the New Deal to save capitalism and return "faith" in "honest" markets. According to your definition of socialism the United States was probably more Socialist than the Soviet Union in 1929 before the stock mrket crash. Everyone was conned into put every extra dime into the stock market.

Whats wrong with the price calculation theory is that the prices are not natural with capitalist trade and production. The real value of labor is in both labor time and the quality of the labor. After all what is the cost of labor but the cost of the worker to reproduce his labor for a given time period. The ability to centralize has both advantages and disadvantages. With capitalist pricing each capitalist if he is not part of a cartel to begin with calculates his price based upon labor time if his profit if not held up artificially it tends to fall towards the cost of production. If you believe US Steel ups and lowers it prices like Gas Stations to the producers of finished goods but instead the sets prices in contracts for a given time period I don't know what to say. Ford was at one time almost a complete vertical monopoly. Starting with Ford Iron ore shipped on Great Lakes Ford vessels to the Massive Furnaces of River Rouge. Hitler was also an admirer of Fordism.
2
I can create a corporation for business purposes for about $20 in any state of the union. Now if I want to raise capital from a stock exchange I must contract with the exchange to be listed and then come under the rules of the federal SEC. So the corporation is privately owned. Only a very select few corporations receive national charters from Congress. The number of shares you own usually determines the number of votes you cast in elections for officers. The trade union is seperate from the federal gov. or state with the exception that they want the federal gov. or state to certify them as the bargaining representative for which a secret ballot election is petitioned for and granted. .Should the workers which to decertify an election or change certification an election can be held. Since trade unions came about differently in Britain I don't know how you join or don't join one.
2
He also forgets that the US also had fascist monuments and so did Spain. Their was even an anti comintern. Henry Ford wrote "The International Jew" and Hitler translated it into German. The idea of the fascist movements was to crush the trade unions and replace them with company union set ups. As Trotsky said. "Fascism would have a Russian name had the Bolsheviks not taken power in the October revolution." The only way to halt the rise of fascism is with the socialist revolution not to rely upon the capitalist and their state. Fascism always hides in the background until the workers begin to move into struggle. Then the fascists despite whatever their ideology is come out to attack the workers and their leaders to shut down the political space working people need to discuss ideas. The ruling class only turns to fascism as the last alternative to save themselves from socialist revolution. The very first thing Hitler did after taking power was to murder purge his party with the night of the long knives. Hitler was able to pass the enabling act after having been appointed Chancellor of Germany by President General Hindenburg with the support of the capitalist parties.

@Outlier999 Speak for yourself. I HATE the lottery!!! I was born into the working class but I also understand Marx, Lenin, Trotsky and Castro and enough math to win the actuaries award and attend MIT. Marx and Engels were the founders of the communist movement not a new Doctrine with its holy priests but the history of a class the proletariat of victories and defeats in the struggle with the other most important class in the modern world the Capitalist.

@johnburns4017 Who was then?

@purplefood1 It was a a war among the Imperialist thieves and to defeat the Soviet Union.

@BenjaminEaster-b8b You just can't talk about anything without crying about your money can you?

The Fascist in Italy are like the Brits because they are Monarchists.

@heroesytumbas His desire to create a Greater German Empire based upon a finance capitalism of a new German type. It was supposed to last for a thousand years. Instead American Imperialism won the war and its rule is crumbling in less than a eighty years,
1
@heroesytumbas Mark Twain founded the American Anti Imperialist league in 1901 before Lenin wrote Imperialism the Highest Stage of Capitalism in 1916 based upon the work of the English Economist Hobbs. Republican McKinley made The American Republic an Imperialist nation with the Spanish American war taking over Spain's colonies and denying the Cuban people their right to national independence until the 1959 revolution lead by Fidel Castro and the 26th Of July movement. You aren't entitled to your own facts. The first world war was one to redivided the world among the Advanced capitalist Imperialist powers. It signaled the end of capitalism progressive era and the rise of the reactionary one. Hitler's plan "Mein Kampf" is what it is. A diatribe about the how the Superior German people were denied their rightful place by Jews, Communists, the French and Anglo Saxons. In 1945 the Era of Imperialist capitalist fascism ended with the defeat of NAZI Germany, Fascist Italy, Vichy France and Imperial Japan.

@die1mayer What does Hitler do for an encore after he conquers everything right up to the border with India? He was leading a thousand year Reich of superman. Hitler is just going to let a small group of people on an Island and the French whom he hated control their own Empires? The European ruling classes ALL hated and feared the Soviet Union because when the Revolution in Germany failed Lenin and the Bolsheviks turned towards freedom for the colonial peoples. The held the 1920 Congress of the Peoples of the East and were sponsoring Communist Parties among nations that never had a Social Democratic Party like China. He had declared war on Imperialism itself.
1
@primmakinsofis614 It shows what had already been prdeicted by Marx and Lenin. That the capitalist would enter into such acute competition for markets and resource that they would go to war.
1
@hq3473 Capitalism always needs new markets and resources to exploit. Like the US the Japaneses were late getting into the game so to speak but when they did they went all out in their area of the world. They would go to war with the CZAR in 1905 and defeat the Russian Navy.
1
@ralphbernhard1757 I can't disagree. The US however didn't count on losing China to the Chinese.
1
Of course Brittain was rich because its colonies were poor. It lost it's colonies after the war. Now it's in an economic crisis despite being one of the first countries to adopt capitalism.

Thomas Sowell is just a disciple of Milton Friedman he even sits in his Chair at Stanford University. His book Basic Economics is what you would call a hymn to capitalism and Free Markets. At the end of the day the only thing he proves is how foolish he is. His big claim to fame is his claim to have been a marxist who saw the light You can call him a marist if you want to voulgaris Marx's teachings. Go ahead chuck the labor theory of value in the trash for one so stupid only an intellectual could think it up. Trade can be beneficial to both parties and big risk can result in big rewards. Wow what Genius Sowell is!!!! I might want to trade something I don't need for something I do and some else might have something they don't need that I do. Big Risk can produce Big rewards. Anyone with a brain knows you usually want risk as little as possible to get the biggest rewards. Fidel says he risked the whole revolution to win the battle with South Africa in Angola. Well that was certain a big risk and it produced a big reward the defeat of the invincible white man in South Africa. What did the big banks and capitalist do when the crisis of 2008 hit? Did they reject the use of the central bank for waiting for everything to naturally reset? Like Friedman postulate for the fix after the Great Depression? No the headed straight to Washington for a bailout. The only thing Friedmans ideas in the old Soviet Union produced was a deep economic crisis which is why the Chinese didn't put everything up for sale like the neoliberals told them to.

@thefrenchareharlequins2743 Basicly its propaganda since he can't even define economics. it'a little more than a collection of cherry picked facts meant to make himself look like a genius for collecting them. .
1
@thefrenchareharlequins2743 What makes you think resources are scarce to begin with? Afterall hasn't humanity always found new ways to use what nature has already provided? The idea of scarcity is one promoted by the bourgeois as the twin excuse for its privileges' and poverty. Capitalism with its world money economy is something new in human history. In a matter of a few generations we have gone from crossing the oceans to landing on the moon. He insults you intelligence when he uses Babe Ruth as an example of exploitation and the janitor as someone who isn't because he can find another job and Ruth has only the skill of being a ball player. He quotes Milton Friedman when he insults John Lewis as the greatest oil salesman. Lewis lead the CIO industrial union movement which organized the basic industries of American capitalism. Lewis was a working miner with a 10 th grade education. Yet Lewis had the ear of Presidents and Congress.

@benheisen2135 Those are the kind of people who will join a fascist movement. Because ideology is not what is behind Fascism but the crisis of capitalism.
1
He begins with a number of problems and assumptions which are questionable in themselves first is that some ideologies are evil well isn't that a Christian idea? Some ideas are wrong and if start with the wrong ideas you will end up with an unforeseen result. Hitler spends his time arguing about racial superiority of the German people. Now today that idea is rejected as trash but when Hitler was doing so it was an idea quite prevalent among the capitalist ruling classes in America and Britain also. The British had an Empire that the colonial peoples had no votes in and the United States was a society where "Jim Crow" racism was law. The Western allies had imposed onerous terms upon Germany after the first world war demanding they be paid the cost of the war. These were the ruling capitalist classes of France, Britain and America speaking demanding Germany pay including with their milk cows. If the Weimar Republic proved anything it is that capitalism in one country does not work. It was too late in history for that Germany needed an Empire like Britain. France or the US or it would have to become part of the Soviet Union.
1
The greed of the ruling capitalist ruling classes is what drove the first of the second world war. Churchill presided over the end of the British Empire and the shift to America as the worlds capitalism Imperial investors Empire.

@kaliyuga14surfer88 Something like Che Guevara who told the drunken Bolivian Army Sargent Shoot Coward you only going to kill a man. Or the Rosenberg's who refused to give up names or confess before their execution.

@novakjovanovic7715 Being born bourgeoisie was NOT a crime in the early Soviet Union. Any Rand received both her university and advanced study under the Bolshevik governmnet.
1
Hitler was a Republican also. All the Social Democrats who were allowed to take their seats in the Reichstag vote against passing the enabling act that gave Hitler dictatorial power and none of the Communists were allowed to vote because Paul von Hindenburg the President of Germany issued the Reichstag Fire Act. This despite a famous trial were the Communist Party leaders were found "Not Guilty." Industrialist and former Chancellor the aristocrat von Papen were behind making Hitler Chancellor of Germany. Hitler would never have come to power without the machinations of the Industrialists and von Papen.
1
When Italy entered world war one it entered on the side of the British Monarchy and Democratic Imperialists, the Russian Czar. the French Democratic Imperialist as did the American Imperialists. Those who remained Internationalist were Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg, Eugene Debs, Leon Trotsky Karl Liebknecht to name a few. Debs was put into prison by Wilson (D) who promised to stay out of the war. Debs got a million votes for President from prison. British Labor Party voted for war. Fascism what it is and how to fight is a book by Trotsky. .
1
@liubei3058 The idea of left and right came from the French Revolution when to make vote counting easier the Monarchist sat on the Right while the Republicans sat on the left. They were called Right Social Democrats because they favored their own Bourgeois class in the first Imperialist world war to redivide the worlds spoils among the Imperialist nations. Lenin like Eugene Debs opposed his own ruling classes war for profits. Democrat Wilson had Socialist Debs sent to prison for violation of the Espionage Act. Lenin also wrote about Left wing communism where some groups make more radical proposals to the workers mass movement without any hope of achieving the proposal at that particular time.
1
Socialism and history are NOT created by definitions in a dictionary. Since the meanings of words always change over time. Rather it is the result of the modern working class coming to power over the capitalist class on a world scale in the modern world since that hasn't happened yet we don't know exactly what t will look like.
1
Where do Marx or Lenin promote this idea of a superior race? The idea of building Socialism in one country was only theorize by Bukharin in 1928 and rejected by Trotsky with Lenin being already dead. Hitler came to power in 1933 with help of President General Hindenburg and the Conservative Capitalist parties. The Communist and Social Democtats represented the industrial workers while the Nazi found followers among the middles class being pauperised by the capitalist system. Stalin's basis was in a rising group of privileged officials while Hitler's Party was created to save the same social class of people being crushed between capital and labor. This is why you see so many similarities between the two. The Russian Oct revolution began with votes first among the bolshevik leaders then the St Petersburg Soviets. All power to the Soviets was the Bolshevik slogan. Hitler's was give me the power of dictatorship from the Reichstag after the fire denying all the communist and some Social Democrats their seats. Hitler tried and failed to get a conviction of the Communist leaders for the fire. Hitler got only votes of the capitalist parties for him and for his dictatorship. He came to power based upon thuggery, lies and deceit. Despite all the talk of free markets you see that the capitalist world adopted Keynes ideas. The only difference between Keynes and the neoliberals is how much should be left in private hands and how much should be managed by the state in the interest of other investors like those who own the central banks national debt. Stalin and his leading gangsters did not see the real threat that Hitler and fascism posed. Stalin was hoping to find liberal allies to save him and his regime. He feared the Spanish revolution and Trotsky more than Hitler. Instead the Stalinist originally thought Hitler was just leading another group of opportunistic politicians. They called the Social Democrats Social Fascists. Now the word fascist has become little more than a swear word.

LibertarianGalt Professor James Burnham left the Communist (Trotskyist) movement to become a conservative. Some wars are worth the fight like the one which defeated the slavocracy in the American Civil War. Which crushed slavery with a mighting blow creating a South more radical than the North for a short period of time. The Republicans betrayed Blacks and the Radical Republican governments in the South to Democratic Party violence with the compromise of 1877. The Franco Prussian war was launched by Emperor Napoleon the III. Marx must of realised just as Lenin did that a capitalist government with socialist ministers waging a war of plunder deserves no support or peace. Afterall in 1871 the Paris Commune was declared. The third Republic which you find so "peachie keen" would crush the Commune and continue French Imperial colonialism. Or the one which is being waged by the Jews against Hamas. Hams is a capitalist NAZI like Party of thugs and Jew haters making themselves rich off of UN Aid and sympathy for refugees that they care less about. It and its billionaire leaders and thugs deserve what the get. If they want peace then they can give up their hostages and surrender their criminala for trial and renounce their plans for the final solution of the Jews. . We called the Vietnam Peace movemnet the antiwar movement because we were for the Victory of the Vietnamese people over the Imperialist Power of the capitalist United States. The same reason we favor the Victory of Ukraine over Putin despite his hypocrisy about wanting to recreate the Soviet Union under Stalin since he clearly blames Lenin for Ukraine in the first place.
1
LibertarianGalt What's your point because you aren't the first to cite Galt (John Galt) someone who invents a perpetual motion machine. Maybe you should add it to you denial of the value of human labor including intellectual labor in creating value. If the object of the bank is to place more capital into circulation than why would you want to collect it back as interest? After all isn't that what the German and Japanese are doing now with the zero interest rates? The last time I checked the first and second law of thermodynamics remain unbroken. Meaning John Galt's machine is unbuildable.
1
LibertarianGalt You didn't answer my question. Where does the profit of the businessman/corporation come from?
1
@arianGalt I might be the British merchant who buys opium from India and sells it in China now do you think the Chinese Emperor has the right to tell me to stop my opium sales? The British crown fought wars to sell Opium in China. Now do you why the Chinese hate the British Merchant and call him an Imperialist? Why all this free market we just giving customer what they want is a big bunch of bullshit for other people.

@JorgeCruz-mi5gc Its capitalism creation of us the industrial working class that makes socialism possible. We are the people who work together to create everything. My father flew in a tin can over the South Pacific durring world war two. The capitalist era has been coming to an end since World war one. Jews like the Chinese have a culture that goes back thousands of years. Communism is internationalist in nature. Even though Hitler died after Lenin he lost the battle to create a new fascist Empire and instead the colonial people would make a break from Western Imperialism following world war two. Lenin vowed to tear Imperialism limb from limb and that's what happened with a United Nations of over two hundred sovereign nations. Its been about 80 years since the end of WW2. The American capitalist no longer have the economic power and military might to maintain the Imperialist Empire that followed the British Empire which saw its set set in 1945. American Imperialist power is financial the most parasitic of all capital. .

Hitler was elected the same way the King of England is. He was never elected to any post in the German government rather he was appointed Chancellor of Germany by Persident General Hindenburg. His party never had a majority in the Reichstag either.

Have your neoliberal friends explained why the wages of goods producing workers stopped following productivity for workers in the US starting in 1973. Or the declining use of Industrial capacity beginning with the first date of statistics in 1968? What was the problem not enough neoliberal policy liberating markets? You can find those stats at the US Federal Reserve St Lewis. Northeaster Railroads had to be bailed out with ConnRail and then sold back for song and dance to the productive and profitable boss who cut jobs and wages. A crew size went from 5 to 2 or 3 in fifty years. Longer trains with the BNSF nicknamed the Better Not Start a Family RailRoad. Biden with his Emergency board and a vote by Congress to prevent a strike.

@johnwolf2829 Not necessarily it more than likely would have only created chaos. Long term goal of the NAZI's was to murder all the Jews in the Ukraine and give the farmland to ethnic Germans. However the Army and the SS did not necessarily see eye on how to administer occupied territory.

Who was responsible for the first world war? A Serbian national Anarchist killed Austria Hungry's Archduke Ferdinand. The Austrians declare war and go into push the Serbs. The French promise to help the Sobs with independence. Then all the secret treaties bring in the rest of the capitalist world who have made agreements to carve up each other. Wilson the Democratic promises to stray out to get elected.

@bomberharris1943 Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism. It took the destruction of most of the induvial world before nuclear weapons used on Japan signaled a temporary long pause in the matter. Now your seeing a rerun of the early 20th century. Instead of a declining British Empire vs Germany a declining American Empire is on full display. A fear of China now grips the capitalist world.

Getting "Owned" one this guy is not shy about is being an "owner" I guess he thinks if he accumulates enough knowledge that will make him rich alone and make the accumulation of capital unnecessary.

To drive profits his way the capitalist must always seek to cut the labor time needed to produce but since the market is limited then he finds that his invested capital has risen while the labor time which is the source of the profit has gone down as does the skill since he replaces higher paid skilled labor with machines and unskilled labor first because the price sinks toward the cost of production than his rate of profit must also decline. This is how they become too big to fail and need bailouts. The capitalist created the central bank and then central bank generated inflation to try and solve this problem which as no solution other than the end of finance capitalism the most parasitic of all capitalisms. They can not help create all kinds of problems by placing bets on stock and all kinds of financial products which are nothing more than fictitious capital tha has the problem of collapse in value caused by the undeling crisis of overproduction of commodities for markets that have no additional buyers. In order to save themselves from competition they have developed the most horrible labor savings measure of war like the nuclear weapons, drone bombers and the guided missiles.

What is a species. The members of a species can all reproduce successfully with each other. Dogs are an example of humans breeding animals for specific traits. The idea of Darwin of natural selection is that the origin of the species come from nature doing the natural selection instead of us doing the breeding. So a crop like corn was grown by native American people and it is one which can't reproduce without human intervention in planting. It is theorized that ancient people bred it from a grain like plant. The idea of divergence of species is that groups of the same species get isolated from each other and the "magic" of natural selection occurs. This is theorised to play out in human skin color because a dark skin is less susceptible to skin cancer from the sun while a light skin can produce more vitamin D. The key thing that make the human different than the animals is we use fire to cook which helps digestion and allows for a more varied diet. We have a voice box to make sounds for communication. We are social animals who live in groups. Our hands our shaped by the need to labor. Our bodies are made from long periods of physical activity with sweat glands to cool allows us to cool off instead of overheating which we can use our advantage when a group of hunters chase a wild animal around until it becomes overheated.. What did a group of hunter gatherers do afterwards in their spare time? They created culture from which all science art math and even religion springs. Agriculture the deliberate raising of animals and plants for human use creates a suplus and the beginning of human civilization. It's not scarce resources that plague us because when have we not found more ways to use what we already have? Rather it's the uneven distribution and control over the productive forces.

@-jammy4123 It historical FACT regardless of how good I can spell. Hitler put them in the concentration camps while big business flourished. Hitlers party was a party of strike breakers. That's why the capitalist loved Hitler. He cost them money where as a revolution would have cost them their property. Plus he was going to get back at the French and British capitalist after he created a German Empire to the East. Marx ends the communist manefesto with workers of the world unite not Germans build an Empire. Listen to the video instead of just commenting.

@sonsvensson2652 Sure it flourished and the plan was to create a Great German Empire like the French and British had. Of course if you believe imperialism as the way things need to be done than you'll love Hitler and capitalism. Hitler lost to the Soviet Union and the Democratic Imperialists. Now the CCP is shepparding a new capitalism in China which is taking the first steps to be a new Imperialist power like the United States and the Democratic Imperialist United States capitalists insist they are better just as the British insisted their Imperialism was better than the German one.

Hitler did quite frankly believe he could make NAZI Germany into a thousand year Reich as an Empire like the British American one. Part of his racial theory was that Britain and America were Germanic. But nevertheless his theory told him that the best Germans had left for America so he was unsure how he could defeat America and still believe in his racial theories. Maybe if he hadn't condemned Relativity as "Jewish Science" and the British surrendered after the atom bombing of London he could have reversed the Soviet offensive or turned them into a radioactive wasteland.

@oscartang4587u3 Capitalism and the capitalist system is based in nation states. Marx makes clear that the proletariat has no nation unlike the capitalist. So Hitler and Mussolini belong with those who seek to form a superior nation state not with Marxist internationalist. Much of this confusion arises out of Bukaran's and Stalin's retreat from Marxism and the Theory of Socialism in one country adopted by the Comintern at its 6th conference in 1928. This was countered by Trotsky's draft criticism of that program.

@Oldkekistani That's nice! Now what happens when you run into someone who doesn't share your beliefs? Because free association implies forced association and voluntary exchange also implies some exchanges are involuntary. See you wouldn't need to put in the modifier if you just believed in association and exchange. That's why things are said to be at least dialectical having two sides. Lets say you sitting on a bench and someone comes by and sits next to you. Is that not free association? but was it a voluntary exchange? Does it now make a difference who owns the bench? You the other person or an unknown third party? What if you get up and leave who's bench is it then? In fact the benches location and your relationship to the other person play a big role in a simple act of sitting on a bench in whether it is considered socially acceptable for the person to sit next to you on the bench in the first place.

@5haNe5eb_71 First because no one has really been able prove it's not possible. I can tell you that John Galt's free energy machine is impossible according to the current knowledge but does what does that say about the rest of the thinkers ideas or will some prove the first and second laws of thermodynamics wrong?? They talk about it being a failure but then when they have to come up with a reason why well they don't really come up with a valid one because they are often doing the same things only in a different manner. So they talk about the failure of central planning until even their scholars realize they are doing the same thing with central bank controls on all these so called independent banks. Or the talk about over regulation until someone asks about how which you prevent insurance fraud without government or some kind of oversight on private insurance companies. They talk about censorship by state media being bad until they start doing it themselves. They talked about victory in the cold war and now they are talking about having a new cold war against China and Russia. If the rich western capitalist nations had not gone to war in 1914 the would not have had the Soviet Union and 70 years of communism as one of the results. The capitalist of all nations have to deal with trade unions, Cuba and communists. So they still face class struggle and because they are in the worst economic crisis since the great depression along with wars raging between Ukraine and Russia and between the Jews and Islamic terrorism its not "a peaceful" capitalist world.

@5haNe5eb_71 Because the capitalism of the pre World War One is gone. The ability of the Imperialist Investors Capitalist Empires to make war on the small nations is much more limited. Industrial workers in the advanced capitalist countries in the west belong to trade unions. The Era of Fascism that followed the Russian Revolution was defeated. The class struggle keeps breaking out. Modrn industry only creates more workers on a world wide basis while the numbers of all other class keeps going down in proportion.

@ad3198 That's not true since the workers are never allowed to see the accounting books. Even Republican Senator Ron Paul complains about never being able to audit the Federal Reserve that the banking industry circles the wagons to prevent that from happening. The workings of capitalist exploitation have to be kept secret from the population to prevent the questioning of all the waste and privilege going to those at the top. You obviously don't understand how money is created by the banks with capitalism. Because the only way for capitalist to justify their profits you have to believe value is disconnected from labor and labor time. That's tiks problem in the end they can't explain how it can be disconnected. That's why they need to mystify the source of the profit. Anything to convince you that money just falls from the sky in a just manor in their favor.

@curiousmind111 That is exactly why the capitalist farm those things out with government, nonprofit's and foundations to limit expenses and maximize profits to shift cost to the working class, farmers and small businessmen. Investments that can't produce quick profits need to by shouldered by the investor and borrower of last result the US Gov't. This way the losses can be socialised and the profits privatised. When the big company and financial system ends up a reversal of value caused by using profits to bid up fictitious values in contracts way over value then a financial crisis inevitable occurs. They all come from the problem of trying to pay for the past with present. Prices for industrial production would inevitable decline as technology cuts labor time without inflating the money supply.

Karl Marx calls for the abolition of private property the property used to exploit others. So that is why there was no stock market in the Soviet Union and other workers states. A trade union is one man one vote. A company is one share of ownership one vote.

@NoNameNoWhere You know that tankie slur came back to bite on the British Social Democracy when Tony "the big mouth" Blair's "New Labour Party" was released from its trade union cointrol. Blair joined the Imperialist Bush in the NATO tank wars that followed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

@NoNameNoWhere Henry Ford accepted a NAZI medal before the outbreak of war and Hitler translated and reprinted "The International Jew" from Ford's Dearborn Independent disrupted at Ford dealerships. Malcolm X gave old Adolf credit for providing the necessary target practice for Black Americans seeking freedom.

@NoNameNoWhere You lick the arse of Social Democracy. The Culturally Superior Brits began the "Tankie" thing applying it to anyone who opposed Imperialism's attacks upon the Soviet bloc countries after the crushing of the 1968 Prague Spring by Soviet tanks. The Soviet Union imploded in 1989 and since than the Brits "New Labour" became the "new tankie". The Stalinist carried out the final betrayal of the Soviet Union when in 1993 Yeltsin's elite troops blasted a hole in the Supreme Soviet building. Yeltsin quickly called Bill Clinton to get Western Democracy's seal of approval.

@schizoid7734 Basic they are all thugs organized to defend capitalism.

@eratorKnight Sure it is. So what caused the crisis of 2008? Was anyones arm twisted to set those prices? I hear the faint cry of the neoliberal Sowell that if only people paid their mortgage contacts and government had not underwritten such bad risks. Well when you've got both sides of the equation in your favor what could possible go wrong? Bush was on a campaign to create an ownership society. So the neoliberals were totally in charge. They were riding high in the saddle and could believe the profits they were making until suddenly everything went in the opposite direction. This whole problem was supposedly solved with the derivative allowing profits to be made regardless of the direction the market took. They had hired the best math and physics genius money could teach at he elite universities to solve the banking problem. . .At the end the the day they passed the "No Banker Left Behind Act." under Obama who swooped just in time to save the bosses. That's is really what destroyed the Republican Party allowing Trump to enter the fray. Originally Sowell hoped Trump would get elected because he be easier to Impeach. Trump is anything but a neoliberal ideologue nor is he a fasicts.

@TheImperatorKnight Maybe that what the salesman and retail workers think because they see no direct connection between what the do and the prices on the shelve. But you go ask a tradermen or a production worker they know that time at work is connected to pay. Everything tells us what we do is important in some way.

@TheImperatorKnight If that was true than economic crisis would not occur nor would the bosses make such a stink over labor time.

Well Tik now you've got the problem of De Lorenzo from the Misses Institute giving a talk on inflation where he talks about the FED opperting like a Soviet Central Planner. My only question is this if you get rid of all the central planners how many Indians do you want to hire to watch for those price signals.

The German capitalists turned to the NAZI's as a way to save themeselves from a workers revolution where the workers took control of Industry unlike the NAZI who were handed control of the capitalist state by the big capitalist bosses and President General Hindenburg. .

@soulcapitalist6204 The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Working Men of All Countries, Unite! From the end of the Communist Manifesto. Nothing about a superior Germanic Race like Hitler. In fact Marx mocks the True "German" Socialism. "While this “True” Socialism thus served the government as a weapon for fighting the German bourgeoisie, it, at the same time, directly represented a reactionary interest, the interest of German Philistines. In Germany, the petty-bourgeois class, a relic of the sixteenth century, and since then constantly cropping up again under the various forms, is the real social basis of the existing state of things. " From the Communist Manifesto. It was in fact not the working class but the German middle class who were Hitler's base. A class being driven into a frenzy by the economic crisis of German capitalism caused in part by the Treaty of Versailles imposed upon them. It is common knowledge that "Henry Ford was an anti semite who published "The International Jew" and that the only American mentioned favorable in Mein Kampf is Henry Ford who also received a NAZI medal just before war broke out.

@RS-xx5md Why don't just become a worker yourself if its such a good racket? The only risk Warren Buffett takes is paper cuts from reading the Wall Street journal while rail workers and the communities risk their lives in disasters like East Palestine, Ohio that are the result of maximization of boss profit above all else. Why don't you just take all your knowledge and blast off in an Elon Musk rocket for an asteroid and don't come beck.

@js290 It is capitalism with its demands for profits from wage labor that has destroyed the meaning of work for the human being. Because Fukuoka's ideas pose no real threat to the bosses profit system his theories were well received by the middle class fools at the New York Review who long for a heroic revolutionary who could both save their middle class privileges provided by capitalism without waging a serious class struggle. He and his ideas are being forgotten as I write. One half of the human population lives in cities not on farms of any size. Modern agriculture makes that possible along with the creation of the working class from which all human culture springs..

@Jack-xy4fy That is nothing but unadulterated horseshit. First because Marxists are materialists and second Marx has already taken on "German" or "True Socialism" in the Manifesto as reactionary socialism. Hitler wasn't thinking up anything philosophically new except to those who are ignorant to the history of the class struggle and ideas. Opposition to the workers class struggle in favor of a bourgeois nation's racial struggle is exactly what makes Hitlerism the exact opposite of Marxism. You make as much sense as telling someone to stop using salt because it contains chlorine which is a poisonous gas.

@soulcapitalist6204 In the manifesto Marx specifically groups feudal socialism and German socialism under the heading of Reactionary Socialism. Look up the definition of reactionary if you don't understand the word.

@AdamantLightLP The scarcity on this planet is a totally bogus idea since it also implies plentiful. So for you to say our planet is dominated by scarcity you would have to know something about the other planets. In fact life is abundant on our planet unlike the other planets we have knowledge of. We have continually found new and better ways of using what we have on the planet. Scarcity is just an excuse for the capitalist exploitation of both nature and man.

@soulcapitalist6204 Capitalism got some of its original capital from the slave trade so therefore capitalism is African slavery because the King of England owned shares in the Royal Africa company. Does that make for Soul Capitalism? That is exactly the same kind of word game "frame job" being played by the Anglo Saxon maker of the video. If you take the time to actually read the Communist Manifesto which is a only a few pages. Under the heading chapter 3 Communist and Socialist literature you find 1 Reactionary Socialism A.Feudal Socialism , B Petty Bourgeois Socialism C. German or True Socialism 2. Conservative or Bourgeois Socialism 3. Critical-Utopian Socialism and Communism. "Marx never confronted nor was heard of by actual economists, ever." LMAO Das Kapital Volume one was written by Marx. Volume two and three were assembled by Engles. Obviously you haven't read that at all. Most of Marx and Engels writings are available on line to read free of charge at Marxist Internet Archive. Two other works on economics are: Wage Labor and Capital and Value, Price and Profit.

@coonhound_pharaoh Obviously your just repeating insults. Marx is available reading at Marxist Internet Archive.

@Jack-xy4fy Marx's works were bsnned by the NAZI's and burned in fires. His writings and views on Jews are for the most part confined to "On the Jewish Question" concerning religion, human emancipation and the secular state. The communist Manifesto does not even mention Jews. Hitler's ranting against Jews reflects the over representation of Ethnic Jews in the Communist Leadership of the Russian Revolution and Bolshevik Party. Trotsky was a Jew and only second to Lenin being the Commissar of Military and Naval Affairs. The Counter revolution pictured him as a Devil with horns and a Star of David on his chest.
