  1. I always ask this question, "what motivates you to become a construction worker now in today's economy"? Someone might say, it's a good paying job that keeps a roof over my head. You say, "homeless was made illegal during Lenin's rule and housing was guaranteed as a right to citizens." They respond that they could not get a better job because they couldn't afford college. You point out that the USSR paid people to go learn particular trades that were in high demand at the time. Construction is always in high demand btw. Ultimately, no one does things directly for money. Not even rich people. For them it's about power and control. Money is merely a means to an end. For t working class, money is merely a means of subsistence.

  2. This is such a good video. As a conservative who's very intrigued and willing to try out socialist economic policies/actions, this was a great explanation.

  12.  @superdog797  emigration out of the Soviet Union didn't occur until the 1920s. That was because many dissenters had left and brought back counter revolutionary allies that would commit acts of terror, including trying to assassinate Lenin in front of his apartment. The other reason was for brain drain. They didn't allow much immigration either. Only pockets of time did they allow mass numbers. This is a policy I personally wish the US and most other western powers would emulate. My aunt and uncle were born in the 1950s, after the fall of the Soviet Union they left due to how horrible things became during the period of "openness", they moved to the US and continued to move around the country because they didn't enjoy anywhere they went until finally settling in rural Pennsylvania. They died in 2014. As for me, I'm not ideologically driven. I don't care about ideology or it's consistency or logical consistency. I don't want to copy-paste the Soviet Union (which is hard to do as different periods had vastly different policies) nor do most people who have nostalgia for it agree with literally every aspect. But that's irrelevant. The overall governing structure and economy was greater than it is now. Reuters did a big study in 2018 about it. Im a socialist for 1 reason and 1 reason only. I believe Capitalism is woefully inefficient, wasteful and encourages isolation and meaninglessness. Socialism gives workers power and creates a better sense of community.

  19. The market pushes things on people as well. Most of the time consumption habit's are based on technology and goods that corporations create and advertise in hopes people will buy. But things that are necessary aren't considered. Things that people need, like healthcare, energy, homes. The profit motive doesn't care.

  20. That opening is horrifying. I do not want to hear mohammadean chants in a video about the French Revolution, where a bunch of commoners rebelled against a corrupt and quite frankly evil religious order. All of Europe should rebel against their mohammadean occupiers.

  21. I criticize the Marxist-Leninist model because of it's party focus. The vanguard of "enlightened" proletarians on behalf of the working masses will always lead to corruption, unnecessary bureaucracy and a sociological distance from the majority of the people.

  26.  @superdog797  capitalism demands alienation and exploitation to function. Isolation comes inherently with that. You can choose to "leave it up for debate" but it really isn't. The debate has been settled long ago. And I don't necessarily agree that we should prohibit people from leaving their country for travel. But the USSR regularly, like almost every weekend, has airports and trains open for citizens to use to travel to other parts of it's vast territory. So the idea that they could not go anywhere isn't exactly true.

  31. I imagine people aren't criticizing the Soviet Union right now because this video isn't about the Soviet Union, which has been defunct for 30 years. This is America, today. And it needs our help if we want it to be great. The first step to recovery is recognizing that you've got a problem.

  32.  @BenjaminWalburn  a group of typically educated working class people lead the revolution on behalf of the working class. That's the vanguard.

  33.  @eliserss9179  that's my point actually. If we had political parties that debated about what social policies would exist for their city or state then I'd not have a problem. I don't think progressive ideology should be prohibited if a particular voting block advocates for it. But I think it is a degenerate and abhorrent way to live life. So do the majority of people throughout history. But regardless, I want conservative cities and states to exist the same way progressive ones do: sovereign and able to collectively decide the fate of their own communities. Too many Right wing conservatives as well as progressive leftists want the same policies federally. No. It's not supposed to be like that. Inclusivity is not diversity. You want diversity? Go to Little Italy, China Town, Caribbean St. Don't force the differing cultures to share physical space.

  34. The IMF (and global capital itself) is the most destructive forces on earth that erodes national sovereignty and hurts local cultures, not to mention it undermines popular demographics all for the sake of "diversity". "If you wish to destroy a people's identity, sever their roots".

  35.  @Dutcheh  but he's not doing it for money itself. That's the point nimrod. The money motive is to acquire other things. Things like housing, food, clothes. Much of which was provided already by the State. Leaving clothing, movies, luxury items etc for peoples enjoyment.

  36.  @Dutcheh  considering he's not rich and doesn't own the means of production, correct, he's not doing it for power. As I already laid out.

  42. This is something the Left needs to understand. The majority of the working class are conservative by nature. Supporting local farming, being in fraternities (aka unions and cooperatives, creating self sufficient communities where everyone works in trades or sells goods in the communal main street market... These are all conservative beliefs. And it's predicated on discipline, family, duty, honor, gender roles and restraint from indulgence. Too many leftists today celebrate behaviors that go completely against the beliefs of the working class. The majority of liberals are white collar, tech gurus who have university degrees. The majority of the working class went to trade school, barely passed high school and work for their local store or their families farm. Those people are largely conservative. Conservatives are also more likely to own firearms, have the mental not to mention physical acumen for necessary violence and are steadfast in defending their land and country. All great revolutions were led by patriotic movements for national sovereignty. Stalin spent a lot of time focused on what makes a nation and why it was important. We need to reread and remember why that was. The cosmopolitan Left which embraces internationalism will always neglect the differences of varying people's with varying circumstances and conditions. If the Left cannot win over conservatives, they have no hope of ever winning at all. Conservatives build and maintain this nation, most nations in fact. They are the blue collar working man. They are the industrial and agricultural proletarians. Without them, even if the revolution succeeded, maintaining that new socialist nation would fail.

  44.  @user-tr9rw7ne8x  so wait a a minute, you think recognizing differences between people, as well the two sexes is oppressive? That's your fault for being naive and idealistic. Also, yes, life is short. So don't waste it pursuing meaningless hook-ups, refusing to have kids and rejecting the very family that brought you into this world to begin with.

  47. The reason more people left Russia after the overthrow of the czar was because one, the czar didnt permit emigration out of the country. And two, the population grew once the Soviet Government took hold. Also they had access to planes whereas before planes were magical devices no one in Russia had seen. The US ambassador wasn't ignorant or indifferent to the "situation". The situation didn't exist and it was created by pro American media to convince other Americans that they only reason their neighbors would stay was if they were forced to. Turns out, they chose to stay and did so happily. My aunt and her husband are a great example. They died in 2014 but they moved to the US after the Soviet Union fell. To this day the majority of Russian citizens as well many many citizens from former satellite states say they wish the USSR would return. The majority leading that charge aren't younger people, but older ones who actually lived under "communist" rule.

  48. Well, North Korea is a highly stratified, impoverished nation that prohibits people to own a company, including worker co-ops. So yeah, it's pretty likely defectors who actually manage to escape would have bad things to say. Their "elections" are not free nor fair. They are effectively a neo-monarchist state. Also, you can't voluntarily leave North Korea. You get sent back if found by most countries except for The US, South Korea and parts of China. Universities are objectively reeducation centers. Up until 50 years ago the Left would have agreed. And forcing others to use someone's preferred pronouns is compelled speech to control language and social cohesiveness from above. It's not real.

  54. ​ @ICanlearnToLoveMyself and to socialists, making a chair would be a need as everyone needs to sit down. The profit motive aka the ability to make money off of consumers who have exchangeable currency given to them by owners of capital, would cease to be a factor in this instance. The material available to make a chair is socially owned and used according to need. Like a neighbor you know making a chair for you and not expecting money in return, only on a mass scale. Ppl produce what is needed/demanded based on what is realistically possible. And what it realistically possible grows as technology advances and coordination improves to meet said demand/need more easily.
    2
  55.  @ICanlearnToLoveMyself  you seem to make a lot of presumptions. Not one of which has shown to have any validity. It's an undeniable truth and an objective fact that we are limited in what we can produce based on the labor available, the necessary time to participate and the breadth of resources at our disposal. The sale may be subjective in comparison to other companies extracting their own resources in their area with their ability to do so but the objective ability to do must be taken into consideration. The more difficult it is to extract, the fewer ppl who can extract it, the more expensive it'll be. That's not subjective because it's entirely dependent on objectively existing limitations.

  56. Mortgage/rental assistance, Investment in building housing, limit ownership of residential property to two properties, revoking mandatory minimum parking laws, enforce wages to be tied to productivity by law, fight for labor unions, enforce immigration laws strictly, forbid foreign ownership of land, institute a land value tax, a single layer healthcare system, nationalize the pharmaceutical industry and; universal basic income. Oh an acquisition tax which minimizes merges and business acquisitions. This is a society I wanna live in.

  58.  @eliserss9179  I am talking specifically about social conservatism. I advocate for a socially conservative society and an economy that supports it. Capitalism in my view is antithetical to socially conservative values as it prioritizes greed, lust, envy, sloth and gluttony.

  60. Dude. Youtube will not allow me to comment! This will be the fourth time now I've had to try and type this. Integration is not a two way street. I repeat NOT. That immigrant/refugee came here. Is employed here, lives here, drives on the roads we paid for here, gets his/her food here. They integrate to our way of life. The burden is on them, not us. You have no right to force yourself into another country and demand it bend over backwards for you. Get on board or get out of rhe way.

  61.  @TheYolo20  I agree that the government should provide immigrants which have been accepted, language courses, history classes and the values prevalent in that particular country. But some can't assimilate. Their values and their their cultural/ethnic background simply won't allow it. As for Capitalism benefiting from immigration, it's a key reason that immigration should be highly restricted. But even in socialist society, displacement, division, taking of jobs, lack of housing, etc with still be a problem. Immigrants have almost never been a net benefit to local populations throughout history. That's simply a fact. People can visit and travel to other countries and experience other cultures. But long term? Stay put. We have settled our respective territories and they should not be infringed. Also I vehemently disagree with your belief that a community cannot claim land for themselves and exclude others. I'm opposed to private ownership of land. Not communal. And no, I don't mean "Global community" as there is no such thing as a "global community" no matter how much internationalist idealists claim otherwise. I think telling people that they and their cultural history don't have a right to particular place/region of land is disgusting. To force yourself into them is colonialism, gentrification and displacement. Do so at your own risk.

  62. The West is collapsing too, and doing so far more quickly thanks to anti labor, pro deregulated, international capitalism along with it's lack of coherent social identity and destructive values focused on rugged Individualism and progressive sexual views.

  70. Why do all the socialists have girl names? Wtf. The ethnically homogeneous is pretty accurate though. Name a successful multicultural society. I'll wait. Edit: give a man a fish he feeds himself for a day. Teach a man to fish he'll never go hungry. Ok, but who owns the lake that people get their fish from? A private individual who demands payment for you to fish on his "property"? Who will teach you to fish so you can have the skills to do so? Oh you gotta pay an arm and a leg to gain those skills? Woops. Now that you spent so much money learning how to fish are you able to have access to the resources necessary to do so? Bait, net, pole, boat, nearby water source etc. No? Well then you wasted all that time and money for nothing. Not to mention not everyone shows fish for themselves. Labor specification exists for a reason. Not everyone can be a fisherman. Not everyone can be a shoemaker. Not everyone can be a city planner. There will be diversity of skills and knowledge. It's necessary for an interdependent and cooperative society. What Durkheim referred to as "organic solidarity".

  71. Human nature absolutely exists outside cultural norms. If anything, human nature inspires certain cultural norms. But thats just it... Humans are a social species. Don't you think that might put some validity to the "social" in the "ism"? Why conservatives (of which i tend to agree with more than progressives) can't make that same connection im not sure. "Bureaucratic collectivism" is absolutely a factor is the collapse of the Soviet Union. The state becoming essentially a series of self stifling capitalist enterprises led to its collapse. Along with the foreign demand of military spending to keep up globally. Then there is the political corruption which led to worker revolts.

  72. That is one of the reasons it can never happen internationally. Not anytime soon. Either that or religious socialism must become popular again. We must also ensure Marxism and loyalty to the Party doesn't become a religion itself as had happened in the past.

  74.  @user-tr9rw7ne8x  I'm not an egalitarian. Equality is a myth and doesn't exist. We aren't the same. Not only are men and women not at all the same but men themselves aren't equal either. We have different strengths, weaknesses, values, worth, dedication, predilections and proficiencies. Not only that but I refuse to take anyone seriously who claims to be a socialist and fight for such an abstract notion like equality or freedom. These are ideas. I don't care about ideas. I care about truths, material conditions and what is or isn't functional. That's all. Freedom is not only a lie, it doesn't exist. Freedom to do what? Freedom from what? What are we talking about here? Freedom to exploit? Freedom to be irresponsible? Freedom to turn our back on our family, our community, our work? We have obligations, duties and roles we must all fulfill. Some of us are gearheads, others are planners, some are caretakers, others are electricians. Some smarter than others. Some more willing than others. Some people are harder working than others. Some are more lazy and manipulative than others. When people have too much free time on their hands they do dumb shit. We need purpose and meaning in life. Gender roles among other things like work and family supply that.
    2
  75.  @user-tr9rw7ne8x  they aren't harmful. They are necessary. And the idea that gender doesn't have a major influence on our actions, proclivities and interests is such a braindead take I don't even know how to respond to such ignorance. When you advocate for feminism or it's associated beliefs you are destroying the family whether intentionally or otherwise. Family is the bedrock of society and social planning, not individuals. You seem to focus on the freedom of the individual. I don't care about that. That's what I'm saying. You find it oppressive to be in a monogamous relationship where two people have different but equally important roles. I don't, as i recognize it for what it is, a superior way to exist and live. Many women are putting off kids until they are too old or are likely to have birth defects. More and more put their careers first. This is bad as it doesn't contribute to the functionality of the family dynamic. The more people hookup the less they are mentally capable of being satisfied in a relationship and relied on not to screw it up. The vast majority of divorces are initiated by women. You think that's not a problem?

  85. Technically, a minority of Muslim individuals are or support terrorism. Comparatively however, Islam is responsible for more terrorist attacks globally than any other religion. White people make up 69% of the U.S population and make up 65% of the terrorist acts, typically by individuals acting alone. Yet 13% are committed by middle eastern immigrants, typically not acting alone. The MEI population in America is less than 1% yet it constitutes 13% of terrorist acts. That's disproportionately high, Hakim. Ironically, I sympathize with Islamic values because it is rather conservative and so am I.

And without government capitalists can't exist because who will recognize or grant anyone's right to private property? Then it will a market of all against all where the "strongest" aka those with the greatest ability to protect what is theirs, will rule. They will rule until an angry mob reacts to said concentration of wealth or those angry mob members get defeated and now there is no more consumer base and no more labor.

Though it obviously should be a criminal offense to be homosexual or bisexual. I just find it disgusting and perverted. As for xenophobic, that's merely the fear of others. You're damn right I'm afraid of others. Anyone who isn't is a naive fool who wants to undermine their own nationality and culture while simultaneously eroding their own labor power.

  102. @isimperialist  is human desire subjective? To a point. Is the quantifiable value of a good subjective? Absolutely not. It doesn't matter how much I personally value something, if I can't afford it I can't have it. If I (like all humans) need food we produce food to serve the community so they can continue participating in said community. The cost is entirely objective and dependent on factors like labor and scarcity of said available food. You can have a desire for something all you want but without labor its nots getting done. Thereby, making the value of labor the single most important facet of production.
    1
  103. @isimperialist  i am not confusing anything. I've already addressed this point in another community discussion. You can't subjectively value any commodity (say food for example) without taking into account the objective labor time socially necessary to produce said commodity. Without labor no commodity can be exchanged and therefore cannot have exchange value. Also, if there is more of something which can be more easily produced it will typically (though not universally) result in lower prices. This itself is a statement of objectivity. Ppl do not desire food. They require it. It's a human need. The subjective value of food comes in the dish itself and how long it takes to prepare and now difficult it is to access the ingredients.
    1
  104. @isimperialist  I'm not confusing anything. You don't understand that labor is value. Ppl don't eat food or make dinner for others for economically advantageous reasons unless it is to compete on the market as a restauranteur. They do it because it serves not only a physiological need but also a social one.
    1
  105. @isimperialist  except you objectively haven't. You've unknowingly disproved your own argument by acknowledging that ppl "work" towards acquiring what the desire/require. Work? Hmm, if only we knew what working meant? Perhaps labor is a component? Again and again, this ridiculous straw man of overall time (length) being the value of labor... That's not what the labor theory of value stipulates. The socially necessary labor time given to produce/provide a good or service that has utility to society. That's how the labor theory of value works. Since you don't understand that, id suggest you stop making claims about things you aren't educated on.

Edit: and you aren't going to "reeducate" me. Men and women are not the same and thank goodness for it. Racism will always exist as it's natural to prefer similarity. Socialists cannot adopt progressive talking points into their cultural revolution or else it will destroy the very values you claim to uphold.

  108. I definitely don't think we should behold ourselves to any "ism". I don't adhere to the idea that because something isn't ideologically coherent doesn't mean its not logically or rather functionally coherent. I definitely don't want family run businesses or individually owned businesses to be eliminated. But I don't want land to be privately owned. And certain things like healthcare, housing and energy should be government run. Though I realize, socialism does not mean "the government does stuff". My point is, being ideologically loyal to socialism, which is variable, isn't wise if it doesn't realistically solve anything on the ground. But that should be said about anything. There are plenty of criticisms I have of socialism, all the various kinds, but I do lean towards it more than capitalism. I don't like sticking to one or the other but using both as is needed.

  111. Poverty and struggle dont make people sad. Humans throughout history lived in worse conditions and depression wasn't a major problem that we know of. Isolation, lack of family and friend connection, destruction of the family unit itself (whether nuclear or multigenerational), constantly comparison to others doing way better and living lives we wish to experience a fraction of... that's what leads to loneliness and depression. I am a conservative. I always will be, likely always was. Conservative values like family, discipline, brotherhood, self sufficiency, gender roles and community are important to me and more importantly, necessary for society. All this said, the culture conservatives advocate for is destroyed far more by capitalist society and its individual focused viewpoint. Socialism in my mind is far better at maintaining and stabilizing families and communities. But the hedonism, the shamelessness, the lack of personal discipline and self restraint... it is because of rhese things socialism could never last long. That "red pill garbage" as you call it, is exactly what needs to become mainstream for socialism to thrive. Traditional gender roles are necessary for society to exist. Cultural and ethnic diversity/immigration is also a recipe for disaster and the destruction of society itself. Ppl can and should have their own nations, which are socialist preferably, but they need to remain there. Keep their sovereignty as we do the same. Many people can't coexist. Many others can coexist but can't share the same space for any extended period of time. If you're a progressive (this goes for anyone) you're supporting a culture that benefits capitalism. If you're a conservative, you're supporting an economic system that doesn't care about your family values or self sufficiency. Logical consistency is not the same as ideological consistency.

  118.  @StephenGleason0  this is a ridiculous presumption made with zero evidence and will be disregarded as fallacious. Labor is necessary no matter the system and the need to extract resources and use them for societal purposes will always exist. Therefore, costs will always exist and quantifiable means of determining them will also exist. Also, if the means of production are socially owned the importance of exchange value is greatly diminished in favor of utility value.
    1
  119. @StephenGleason0  it's not established inherently via private property. If I want to make you a blanket or a chair I will if I have the ability to. The resources used don't belong to me, I simply had access to them via a store. I then made that blanket or chair for you because I wanted to for no personal economic advantageous reason. The point is, replace Walmart (or wherever I can get products to make new ones) with socially owned distribution facility where I and others can use what is available to make things for ourselves and others based on need, desire etc. the economic problem is ppl who don't have the capital or the time to spend making things for others or themselves despite desperately wishing they could.
    1
  120. @StephenGleason0  it without question addressed it. It's not my fault you don't understand basic logic... How will i know what to produce and how to produce it? I'll know what to produce based on the need for such an item existing, say a blanket to keep warm or a chair to sit down in. Is there a socially necessary need for such a product? How will I know how to produce it? Through instinct? Through trial and error? Through education passed onto me? Why would I not know the scarcity of things? The ability for me to produce something myself or for a corporation to do so is dependent on the amount of resources available for extraction and the available labor pool capable of mixing said labor with said resources to create a product that will be used by the public.

  121. @StephenGleason0  1. Its not that I want to build a railroad, but that there is a need for it and it would be most efficient or at least in theory it should. 2. I won't be building through a mountain because that's preposterous. 3. I do have factor prices because we have factors of production like availability of materials, amount of labor and the time required to train labor, and the number of regional planning/cooperative enterprises that exist. You still don't seem to understand that exchange value and utility value are not the same. Utility value is based the socially necessary labor time and exchange value is dependent on the ability to make a profit off a sale on a private market.
    1
  122. @StephenGleason0  what a preposterous statement. If factors of production were dependent on private property then the development of human society would never amass at all. There would be no historical development to this point. Factors of production exist independently of whatever economic model is the dominant form.

  141.  @MatheusFernandes-xf4zm  I'm very familiar with Marxist economics and critique of political economy/pre-capitalism. Primitive accumulation does not answer my question at all. It doesn't address the fact that long before European colonisation there was no innovation, there was no development of society, despite having endlessly longer time to do so and many more natural resources belonging to the various ppls of Africa respectively. They had the means and the time and yet accomplished absolutely nothing without either assistance from Arabs and then the Europeans. Also, they enslaved one another and sold them to Europeans... Europeans did not enslave anyone already in that predicament. The local African kingdoms were themselves participating in primitive accumulation yet despite this they achieved nothing.
    1
  142.  @MatheusFernandes-xf4zm  no you're not understanding me... I'm not denying that those things occurred. What I'm saying is, it's largely irrelevant. These European nations begun developing themselves long before the colonization of Africa. The exploitation of Africa is not what created these countries. Scrambling for Africa is the catalyst for modern capitalism and moving away from mercantilism/feudalism yes, but these kingdoms/countries were already developed and had a higher stage of development prior to the colonization of the Americas or to Africa. It was this precise advancement prior to said colonization that made European powers capable of colonization in the first place! England was the superior country with the superior technology and superior minds. Their positioning as well as their opportunism forwarded them ahead of the other European colonial powers. Spain and Portugal were having their own issues at the time which made internal strife a competing focus for their countries, meaning their investments into naval capacity were divided by their investments into domestic conflict and territorial disputes. England was not divided in its attention at that point. However, all three of these countries were infinitely more developed prior to the scramble for colonies. That's all I'm saying.

Im a conservative, the older I get the more I realize conservative values are superior to the liberal individualistic ones of contemporary society. But the more I understand Capitalism the more I realize the threat to conservatism isn't socialism, but rather capitalism. It's it's capitalism that destroyed the family, it's capitalism that destroyed gender roles, and it's capitalism that will turn us into nothing more than amorphous beings with no sense of identity. All we are now is laborers for the bourgeoisie. We compete with one another rather than completing one another. It's a shame really. Social conservativism and socialist economics makes alot of sense to me.

  155.  @user-tr9rw7ne8x  relationships do require commitment and work, something which cannot be prioritized if we also prioritize the freedom of the individual. Relationships don't free the individual, they make like better and more functional for the pair and their offspring. The reason the individual is not as important as the family is because the individual doesn't exist at all without them. "society is not made up of individuals but the interrelations between them"- Karl Marx. Individuals obviously need to have their own individual identities but it's in connection to and in relation with their gender, their family, their work etc. Gender roles are biologically influenced. Sure, some are pointless, some are socially constructed (which isn't inherently bad btw, we need social constructs for society to exist) but the majority if not so social constructs are at least somewhat rooted in biological science and evolutionary psychology. Relationships can only be realistically between a man and a woman because they can have kids and the point of a relationship is to bear children and raise them. And I already explained why getting rid of gender roles hurts the family. It takes women out of the home, has them put off or completely forego having kids. It lowered wages for everyone because now the other 50% of the population was seeking work along with the other half. It makes men unattractive to women because they aren't economically viable partners, and the fact that women are attracted to masculinity. Men aren't attracted to masculine women either. We aren't supposed to compete for the same role. We have our own we are meant to fill. Does everyone fall into it? No. But the exception does not make the rule. And there are several varying roles men and women and fulfill. Not all men are the same. But we all have common values and there are universal expectations that we all should live up to. If you dont want to meet those expectations, sell your house, your car and any other modern technology that comes from society, move into the forest and live like a primitivist. Cause that's the only place where you won't have to worry about society placing expectations on you. Of course, the only reason we are questioning gender roles at all are because our society is so advanced and our lives so easy, that gender roles aren't as relevant as they once were when life was more difficult and we had to fit traditional roles or else perish. People can have individual identities, but they should not put them before the family or community. And no, I'm objectively correct about monogamy being the most efficient and healthy form of relationship and has been practice worldwide for millennia. There's a reason homosexuality has not. And there is a reason men and women fit into particular roles no matter the civilization. They were even called hunter-gatherer societies for a reason. Men hunted, women gathered. Why? Because men and women are different, evolved to have different skills and traits. Gender is not real. Sex is. That's what matters. What you identify as means squat.
    1
  156.  @user-tr9rw7ne8x  you need to look at this as a collaborative effort. There is no I in team. The individual only exists because of the family. Community only exists because of families. A community is literally a bunch of families who's children have married to strengthen regional bonds and ensure that groups of people look out for another. The sole purpose of marriage is to have kids. That's not a debate. Throughout history, if a woman could not produce children hs could divorce her or bring in another woman into the relationship, who would typically work for the wife as a servant. Not saying we should bring that system back, I'm merely acknowledging the historical practices. Social constructs are absolutely necessary. All customs, norms, traditions and expected behavior are simply constructs. You expect me to come to work everyday, sober and not allowing my private life to affect my productivity? That's a social construct. I don't want you to take my property, my wife, my home etc away from me, that's a construct. Women don't want to be harassed and expect men to engage with them in a particular way that benefits them. That's a social construct. We declare certain things to be illegal because of the harm it causes to others even if it does benefit the individual who commits it. Those are social constructs. Did you leave the house with clothes on? Congrats. Social construct. Did you get frustrated when a guy on the freeway cut you off? Probably because he was inconsiderate, aka he didn't fulfill an expected norm designed to keep people in line necessarily. It's not to preserve freedom, it's to ensure security. We don't install freedom apps on our one to protect our data and information, we install security apps. We don't have a Department of Homeland Freedom, was have a Department of Homeland security. We don't purchase Freedom Systems to catch burglars entering our home. We purchase security systems. It's not called Social Freedom Benefits it's called Social Security Benefits. Freedom is a lie. What's important is to be functional, healthy and productive. To live a life and to champion a lifestyle that prioritizes the individual over all else leads to selfishness, a lack of commitment, the refusal to accept self sacrifice, greed, jealousy and aimlessness. We need to realize that we aren't the main characters in this story. We are the extra. Life doesn't revolve around us. We revolve around it. And IT only exists because of people coming together, having kids, raising them with discipline and respect then exposing them to get world with others who they will eventually work alongside, fight beside and marry to keep civilization alive. We value friends because we value closeness and secure bonds. We value closeness and secure bonds cuz we were raised in a healthy family setting. People raised in single parent households are much less likely to have healthy relationships later in life. They are more likely to do drugs, sleep around and distrust others. Also, the reason poly relationships don't work is because people need to focus and devote as much time and attention towards one person and their children. Much like how a classroom looses it's effectiveness at teaching students when there are too many. Poly relationships are about sex, not procreating.

  157.  @user-tr9rw7ne8x  No. Agreeing to disagree is what weak people do who cant win an argument. I didn't contradict myself and people do not marry for love. Love isn't real. People who "love" one another stick together out of necessity and reliability. When the man isn't reliable enough anymore she leaves or steps out right? Its not love. People can appreciate one another and respect one another, desire the other persons company due to similar interests and values. But that is not love, its convenience. And that's ok. There is nothing wrong with that. Polygamy, is no polyamory. And those men who had kids with a woman that wasn't barren, focused all their attention on the wife and the child, not the woman they brought into the home who did not become a second wife and had no legal protections like the wife did. The second the woman had his kid, she became the property of the wife. I never said that was necessarily good and i even stated that we should leave it in the past. Not all ideas are created equal. But all ideas should be allowed to be spoken. Not necessarily practiced. Your attempted rebuking of the driving issue is actually embarrassing. Who cares why he cut you off? He did a reckless, dangerous thing that is against the socially constructed norms surrounding driving etiquette. It doesn't mean the government inherently has to enforce the cultural values of the community but it's best that the government, aka the will of the people, enforce the will that the people of that community have. Dont like it? Move to another community or attempt to convive the members of your own to change their position. Unsuccessful at altering the public's position? Too bad, so sad. Move on. Thomas Pain explained it well. The more perfect society is, the less it needs regulation from authority and government, and the more perfect society becomes is because of its ability to self regulate. But when a societies affairs have broken down to a point where men cannot be relied on to supply to civilization their talents and competencies, a stronger hand must take shape to guide chaos back into order. "When men, as well from natural instinct as from reciprocal benefits, have habituated themselves to social and civilized life, there is always enough of its principles in practice to carry them through any changes they may find necessary or convenient to make in their government. In short, man is so naturally a creature of society that it is almost impossible to put him out of it

"All races and ppl are capable of developing only when they have acquired rational institutions" ok, but i dont believe all ppls can acquire rational institutions nor are all ppls equally capable of civilized society... Socialism likewise can work, but only certain populations are capable of making it work. And the issue of uncultivated land being "vacant" until it can be improved upon finally through labor and the rational wisdom of civilized ppls is simply and unfortunately whether you or i want it to be, true. It blatantly is. It may be "rahcist" but its also accurate. Doesn't mean im defending the practice, doesn't mean im encouraging it. But it is true nonetheless. You can't reason with 'barbaric' ppls and you can't rely on them to honor deals. "Liberty" and "Order" are only for those who are capable and/or worthy of it. Are we pretending that is not the case? The "world" you're talking about that Europeans destroyed during the twentieth century was also the same one they themselves built... That can't be ignored. European countries have no duty to improve any other nation other their own, and quite frankly most of these post colonial states would not be where they are without Western influence. The nations which still have a decent relationship with their former colonial powers are the most developed countries. And even then... Look at South Africa, literally all of their farming and infrastructure came from their European colonialists. Even the former leader of the country warned that if the whyte man left South Africa they would be doomed... They didn't listen to that guy and now look whats happening.

  184.  @painkeller20  but that could mean anything and has been used to mean "anyone who goes against Allah". Mohammed didn't exactly wait for people to attack, he just conquered them. He was a war lord.

  186.  @painkeller20  you didn't TRY to give excuses for religion's history of violence, domination and terror. You DID give excuses for it. Are there positive elements within religion? As how it teaches to work with one another and fight against unsocial behavior? Yes. But often it was and has been used to eliminate anyone that doesn't go along with their version of God. I agree Islam and Christianity and Hinduism and Judaism, exist to organize society and daily life in the "right way". But that is a double edged sword. It can be used to provide stability and unity or it can be used for conquest and oppression.

  187.  @painkeller20  I explicitly stated "religion" is responsible for war, violence, domination, conquest etc. I purposely didn't specify which one. Islam, Christianity, it makes no difference. I'm an atheist for a reason. I've rejected religion. As for the idea that terrorists (of the Muslim kind) didn't exist prior to WW2, you're hilarious. Do I support exploitation of other countries resources? No. But they have been committing crimes against humanity long before to U.S even existed.

  188.  @painkeller20  are you serious? You're kidding right? Are we just pretending that the Muslim Conquests, the Crusades, the Holy Wars, that those weren't explicitly over religion? It's not debatable to say that more wars have been fought over religion than wars that have not. It's not an opinion, I don't think it. It's historical fact. But as a religious person you probably don't respect historical facts much either.

  189.  @painkeller20  i can pass judgement on whoever I well please. The Prophet Mohammed was a child graping warlord who forcefully made others accept his word and power. This is not disputable. Life is made up of generalities and exceptions. The general population of Islamic followers believe in Sharia Law. That means by default they support the death of any so called apostate or unbeliever. It also means they believe they should spread their religion in the name of Mohammed. You are choosing to ignore the reality of the situation because it offends you. I don't care.

  190.  @painkeller20  it is logical to be opposed to to religion. It is logical to "hate" those who wish me dead. That's why I don't trust religious people. Anyone who doesn't believe in their religion because of whatever reason they may have are referred to as anti semitic or Islamophobic or a satanist etc etc. Then that is used to excuse violence.

  191.  @painkeller20  anyone can be influenced to commit violence. But are we gonna sit here and deny that religion has a propensity to increase that likelihood substantially? Apparently you are. You seem to think I don't understand their society. You're wrong. Understanding and approval are two different things.

  192.  @wabc2336  i do not defend Americas intervention in foreign affairs. However, I don't agree that American imperialism caused this problem of Islamic terrorism. They were violent terrorists long before we got there. America didn't create the turmoil in the middle east. We merely profited off of it. If anything, the Soviet Union staved off the chaos and when it fell it came back.

  193.  @wabc2336  I don't care about individual organizations. Objectively speaking, Muslims have been going to war with anyone they can since the days of Mohammed.

  195. If blaq people demand their lives be respected then maybe they should respect themselves and each other other more. And just be all around more respectable. So far, since the 60s (ironic isn't it) they have done a piss poor job of being seen as such.

  196. New family code? So then it's anti family? Got it. Family is a man, a woman, their kids and their extended relatives. Two men? Not a family. Never will be. If the definition of family is all encompassing then the family itself doesn't exist.

  203. There is significant racism in the US. It's against white people. Did you just say you don't believe in free speech? Then you don't deserve to have this YouTube channel then. I declare your speech as unacceptable. Mandated contraceptives are an "objectively good thing"? Ok, well then you're an objectively dum person. "Diversity of being a kunt" is sexist language. Congratulations. You violated your own rules and now are being arrested for hate speech.

  204.  @absolutelynotacommie  yes, Nazis should have the right to say whatever they damn well please. Contraceptives are by and large, bad for society. They have caused an entire generation or more of wmen to act recklessly and irresponsibly while simultaneously harming their own blood pressure, causing themselves cancer and infertility problems, not to mention increased likelihood of offspring with disabilities. Very little good has come from contraception bing available to wmen. Also, you don't get to say what is and isn't hate speech. I declared the word kunt to be sexist, hateful and bigoted. Therefore, it is inciting. Are you invalidating my feelings? Does that all of a sudden not matter?

  208. But there was no "sheer violence they faced from the colonizers"... It didn't exist. European settlers had to fight hard to defend themselves and their settlements from the sheer violence of the natives...

  213. The only ppl making communities are immigrants and they don't exactly like integrating into the places they immigrate, leaving themselves in an enclave.

  214.  @DeoMachina  why do you believe that it would recentralize? If anything it's much less likely specifically because everyone is more similar then they are different. That would bleed over in regards to wealth and status.

  215.  @DeoMachina  I never said the communities can't have industrial factories. Merely that they should be owned by the local community members. I advocate for bringing industry and manufacturing back to the US and punishing harshly any company who outsources, employs undocumented labor or sells goods for cheaper overseas than they charge domestically.
