  1. China grew 5.4% this quarter as well. The US only grew 0.3%.
    304
  2. I don't want to hear about the West talk "human rights" anymore.
    251
  3. Part of the reason why the GOP and others want to get rid of AMLO is because he nationalized some of his country's resources (which made them mad).
    140
  4. Sometime ago MTG and MAGA crowd called for invading Mexico after it nationalized its lithium, and these are the people that have the audacity to complain about immigration lol.
    128
  5. Authoritarian this or that... as if Western countries aren't authoritarianism themselves.
    103
  6. And this is why "free market" is a meme alongwith libertarianism/anarcho-capitalism.
    81
  7. Socialism to the rescue!
    61
  8. India is sending their troops to Israel. It's also a roadblock for BRICs.
    53
  9. The US forced Japan to loan money to South Korea (so that's how South Korea got its start as well). Japan and South Korea were also both propped up to be anti-communist states in relation to China, DPRK, ..., etc.
    40
  10. Most of the ruling class comes from the British aristocracy.
    39
  11. i also notice that america has a history of absorbing movements and re-directing it to secure their objectives. to be successful in any movement, its always best to leave out america before they coopt and change it.
    34
  12. Israel carries Western interests in that region. Israel was also used as a launching pad for the Iraq war.
    22
  13.  @mamtablain3956  Most of the ruling class aren't Jews btw.
    16
  14.  @Salman_Saho  Orban is friends with Netanyahu and he worked with Netanyahu in the past, but yes Islamophobia is there too. Most right-wingers are Islamophobic.
    13
  15. Actually post WW2, the British Empire intertwined with the American Empire, and even the Third Reich was absorbed into the American Empire through operation paperclip.
    13
  16. Russia is able to survive like that due to the vast amount of natural resources they have, they're literally the biggest country in the world lol. They also had their Soviet past and system they can fall back on.
    12
  17. There's been an increase of sex workers, so that's about something...
    12
  18. Well, it's the G7, not just the US.
    12
  19. Most bankers and ruling dynastic families (who merged with the Eastern establishment) hail from the British Isle.
    11
  20. Yep. Major hypocrites.
    10
  21.  @Karakulak1071  Hungary is pretty anti-Muslim. Orban also has close ties with Netanyahu and worked with him in the past.
    10
  22. lol
    10
  23.  @Gen0cidePTB  He's like in his mid- to late-80s; give him a break. Still sharp regardless.
    10
  24. You can pause it, save it later, and watch it in parts.
    9
  25. Japan went to the US recently to ask them to help them with their economy and currency lol.
    9
  26.  @paulaheady8990  he was being sarcastic.
    7
  27.  @monicanavarro2906  lmao
    7
  28. Dude... Japan has always been a part of the imperialist West. It's not a secret. it's an obvious fact...
    7
  29. From the late Gorbachev years to the Yeltsin years to the early Putin years. Not ever completely integrated within the neoliberal left, but just more subordinate to the West.
    6
  30. They want to coup her too lol.
    6
  31. Did that guy just say something along the lines of India not being an "autocratic country"? What?!
    6
  32. Pretty sad. Anyway the US always treated soldiers like shit too.
    5
  33. Yep. Germany has always been a competitor to Britain.
    5
  34. Well, they also assert US' interests in that region as well.
    4
  35. Who cares? Mexico has different ethnicities anyway.
    4
  36.  @70newlife  Michael Hudson has a Chinese wife, so no.
    4
  37.  @qjtvaddict  the problem also consists of the US wanting to be dominant in the market and on top of having a monopoly. This is part of the reason why the US has interest in making the Middle East unstable.
    4
  38. They even got support from British elites/capitalists.
    4
  39. Definitely a dangerous situation...
    4
  40. The USSR (and even Russia now) has a greater land mass than China and they have more access to natural resources (that enables such high degree of industrialization).
    4
  41. He still fearmongered about China in this interview lol.
    4
  42. If they're doing all of these coups... Can they just stop complaining about immigration?
    3
  43. No.
    3
  44.  @william6223  China is not conducting a psychological warfare on the US or the West as a whole. That's a lie in itself.
    3
  45. I don't know why people think "Hungary is a based nation" when it's not lol.
    3
  46. Actually, it sort of best to neutralize India being completely in the Western camp. Plus, India relies on their military industry on Russia as well.
    3
  47. Let Hudson talk or rather give them separate shows...
    3
  48.  @lenuvian  her opinions are good, but she needs to let Hudson talk. I wouldn't mind watching her alone, but too much interruptions.
    3
  49. India has more arable land than China, but there are more people starving in India than China. That tells you a lot.
    3
  50. Shows that the right-wing (including liberals) are always the status-quo.
    3
  51. And then they complain about immigration lol.
    3
  52.  @boi9842  Racist.
    3
  53. If you find this stuff to be drier than you'd find Das Kapital to be drier. Anyway, I doubt you're an ML/communist yourself.
    3
  54.  @CO-vt1jb  Nothing wrong with North Korea. It is a great country withstanding sanctions.
    3
  55. There's a reason why the West is lying... because it's an information war...
    3
  56. And they complain about immigration lol.
    3
  57. No, China has a socialist market economy. Wealth inequality existed in all socialist states (although the gini coefficient is going down). There are 100+ million workers within the CPC. You don't know what you're talking about.
    3
  58. To contain its rise.
    3
  59. Hopefully, the USSR can return or bring back socialism to Russia!
    3
  60.  @tnix80  You're wrong, it's more about class than race/ethnicity.
    2
  61. The ethnicity doesn't matter. The policies that's put through is what matters, something you (and your pea brain) wouldn't understand.
    2
  62. He worked for the WEF, possibly.
    2
  63. Wow, so soy.
    2
  64.  @Nick-zb4yg  neither of you watched the video.
    2
  65. China is not capitalist, but yes they have markets and a private sector.
    2
  66.  @marko8059  Russia throughout history had been sanctioned here and there.
    2
  67.  @sdbutlerredux3177  Yes, the West never intended Russia to become social democratic (even though that was something Gorbachev wanted). However, compared to other Soviet leaders, Western leaders love Gorbachev because of his political and economic reforms. Which was amenable to the West.
    2
  68. lol
    2
  69. It's trending downwards.
    2
  70. Been like that since the inception of British Empire. They also oppress the people of Britain.
    2
  71. The whole point of bourgeois elections is to block the left, even though the New Popular Front is pro-NATO/EU (that is already something to fret about). Even the West, specifically in Western Europe and Northern Europe, is letting go off social democracy; they even had American intelligence involved in sabotaging Corbyn's election/campaign (and this echoes back to the times of Operation Gladio). It ultimately comes down to socialism (revolution) or fascism (barbarism).
    2
  72. The crazy thing is that it would be too "far left" or "communist" for the West.
    2
  73.  @woodytobiasjr8265  Hudson didn't had much of a say.
    2
  74. You do realize there are other rich families other than the Rothschild?
    2
  75. They already have a socialist mode of production. Profit is not in command. But yes, they want to realize the higher stages of socialism being intermediate and advanced. China was never like the USSR even during the Mao era with his new democracy.
    2
  76. Uh dude... that would be too communist!
    2
  77.  @Angelicangbel  you're not bright, are you? Europe supporting Israel would mean more Palestinian and Arab refugees.
    2
  78. The status quo has always been right-wing by nature nothing surprising.
    2
  79. China is pretty diplomatic and they treat everyone with respect...
    2
  80. Makes sense. Ukraine gets their drones from Turkey. At least Ukraine has some self-awareness regarding that lol.
    2
  81. Some, but not 100%
    2
  82. ben is right
    2
  83. Europe rather NATO was involved in Libya and Iraq, and so on. It's amazing how they have the audacity to demonize immigrants while they destabilize the country of those immigrants alongside the US.
    2
  84. lol
    2
  85. No. The US has more leverage in this relationship.
    2
  86. Putin is a centrist.
    2
  87. Like for over 20 years? Lol.
    2
  88.  @william6223  Rather that the US cannot tolerate China's rise.
    2
  89. Right-wing always serving the status quo and elites as always. Well obviously, since the status quo is right-wing (mostly economically) doesn't matter if they're socially liberal or socially conservative. They should also stop pretending and claiming to be "patriotic" and "nationalistic" it is always clear that they put foreign interests always ahead of the nation's interest (which is what left-wingers/socialists/communists have always done, they're truer patriots than right-wingers - who always sell out their countries).
    2
  90. Indeed.
    2
  91. Markets can exist under socialism. Markets have already existed in other modes of production.
    2
  92. ​ @DanFeldman-Edge  state capitalism under the guise of a worker's state can be considered to be socialist (Lenin notes this).
    2
  93. China doesn't face the same problems as western capitalist economies too.
    2
  94. The third world is still used through neo-colonialism.
    2
  95.  @jason59k55  Marx's refers to the low phase of communism as socialism. This is part of the reason why socialism and communism are used interchangeably.
    2
  96. India should've been socialist (the Nehru period was just social democratic).
    2
  97. Which would require a revolution.
    2
  98. Money.
    2
  99.  @ChrisStFleur  Biden highfiving Trump as he leaves office while Trump enters back into office. Literally a WWE tag team lol.
    2
  100.  @ClownCarCoup  China recently founded some oil in the South China sea. China in the past used to export crude oil to Japan in the 1980s.
    2
  101.  @needmorequarts1081  sort of makes sense lol
    2
  102.  @urrywest The US oligarchs are not going to allow America to emulate China's economic model because it would require large-scale nationalizations and land reforms.
    2
  103. No lol.
    2
  104. Socialism also lies in land-ownership. Which Mao basically laid the groundwork and foundation.
    2
  105. Good vid, Ben.
    2
  106. They also didn't like Australia going towards a left-wards direction or even a social democratic direction (because Whitlam wanted to nationalize the mines and expand the welfare state).
    1
  107. Britain and its Anglo offspring countries have no rights to complain about immigration
    1
  108. Yes. Japan was propped up to be an anti-communist state.
    1
  109. Well, the thing is that far-right wants to make it about race and immigration. Well, yes it has always been about class war, not only a national scale, but on an international scale.
    1
  110. India produced 50% of faulty iphones (apple lost so much profit in India) and apple just asked Mexico to make the iphones instead (and Mexico was better at it).
    1
  111. When the "far-right" governs the country, it has always led to bad results... Ben is not wrong.
    1
  112. Argentina wasn't even a socialist country to begin with. If you mean the ascension of BRICS+? Possibly, but just a small dent, however, many of the BRICs+ countries except for China are not socialist anyway.
    1
  113.  @laithmughrabi8990  The likes of Modi, Erdogan, and Orban are pretty much just bourgeois nationalists respectively being exclusionary to other Indian minorities, Kurds/Armenians, and Muslims (also dark-skinned people). I wouldn't say that they're fascists. Also, usually Hungarians don't like to get called "Turkic" or "Mongols" lol, they even don't like getting called "Eastern European" as well. The anti-Muslim thing in Hungary comes from a lot of the history... since the Ottoman Empire occupied Hungary for 150 years.
    1
  114.  @zoltanludvan5133  Hungary is anti-Muslim because a lot of the people that immigrate into Europe are Muslims and also because of the Ottoman Empire's history in Hungary. Yes, Hungary is pro-Russia, but they're not pro-Palestine.
    1
  115.  @rarescevei8268  you can easily google the definition.
    1
  116. China is rich in gold? I thought China was a country that somewhat has little resources.
    1
  117. They control the world and media.
    1
  118. Economics is an important part, yes.
    1
  119.  @ellentau427  Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos aren't Jews lol.
    1
  120. And later in the article Lenin states "The dictatorship of the proletariat has done all it could to abolish classes. But classes cannot be abolished at one stroke. And classes still remain and will remain in the era of the dictatorship of the proletariat. The dictatorship will become unnecessary when classes disappear." Stop cherry picking and China is vehemently anti-fascist, they come to the UN every year to vote agains the glorification of Nazism.
    1
  121. The double standards and hypocrisy of going after Putin but not Netanyahu lol.
    1
  122. People think that Israel controls the US, but it rather happens to be that the US controls Israel instead.
    1
  123. Because the mainstream right uses Nazism as a tool.
    1
  124. It's usually a communist government that works for the interest of the people.
    1
  125. No, Ethiopia shouldn't have a sea port.
    1
  126.  @CC-jq4lr And you expect people of East Ukraine to continue lying down while they get killed? Buzz off.
    1
  127. On top of that the West complains about immigrants too when they caused those problems.
    1
  128. Democracy is a meme lol. The only true democracy is socialism.
    1
  129. if you also look at the UN votes of countries condemning nazism, usually "liberal democracies" (including japan and western countries) abstain their votes. they know fascism is their tool in opposing communism/socialism worldwide and obviously, they prefer fascism over communism.
    1
  130. Not strange actually.
    1
  131.  @LuisAldamiz  No. China is a periphery state.
    1
  132. Turkey tries to take the neutral position and play both sides against each other. I'm pretty sure Putin wants to mouth off at Erdogan (or denounce him), but he has to keep the doors open for Erdogan. Putin sees Turkey as a potential geopolitical ally.
    1
  133.  @judyyee4163  exactly lol.
    1
  134. There's been more people that died of covid in a single day (in America) than died on 9/11. But yes, anyone that gets killed is bad.
    1
  135. She advertised herself as being right-wing and even quoted Mussolini, but still any right-wing governments are sell outs.
    1
  136. Palestinians (however they can end up getting support) need to take power with their own hands. I always knew these international institutions are useless (it only benefits the Anglo-American Empire).
    1
  137. China is ruled by a communist party. Socialism and communism are usually used interchangeably in the Marxist sense (Marx calls socialism the "low phase of communism"). China's economy is socialist, however, yes.
    1
  138. Bigger question is why did the EU/USA stole their wealth and resources?
    1
  139. Private sector has always been parasistic, it has always eaten and nibbled away with the public sector.
    1
  140. People should stop saying that "MTG is anti-war"
    1
  141.  @Muneerkhan-y3l  I'm rather more jealous of China than India lol.
    1
  142. "The West needs to improve our relationship with the global south" but somehow they continue being racist to those from the global and demonizing immigrants from the global south lol.
    1
  143.  @mna7308  43 of the 50 ruling families in America are non-Jewish. If anything Episcopalians are more overrepresented than Jews.
    1
  144.  @verypleasantguy  No. There are ruling class families that have existed longer than the Rothschild, all of whom came out of the British Isles and Western Europe.
    1
  145.  @mna7308  43 of the 50 ruling class families are non-Jewish.
    1
  146. same like the us. plentiful of massacres too.
    1
  147. He demonizes those countries as being authoritarian and communist, lol (he calls Russia 'communist' despite Russia not being communist anymore). He's openly pro-West and admires Israel.
    1
  148. Lmao, Western governments are hypocrites.
    1
  149. I wish Ben Norton can post more videos. Maybe even do livestreams everyday lol.
    1
  150. not only the mike pompeo, other neocons and liberal elites are afraid of china economically, and militarily, but also ideologically. they don't want communism emerging in the west.
    1
  151. The US has mask-on fascism, but in the future the mask will slip off, and we don't know when it's going to happen.
    1
  152. If you're gonna sanction all the other countries, of course they're gonna go off the US dollar, and trade with each other more in their own currencies. Wow, such a shocker!
    1
  153. ​ @doridore1234 Ben Norton is usually spot on
    1
  154. ​@Deathclaw.By.Designnothing wrong with that. Reality has a Marxist bias.
    1
  155. Russia and China view the relationship between Africa as mutual. You wouldn't understand any of this.
    1
  156.  @grandwonder5858  China is democratic because it's socialist. The only true democracy is socialism.
    1
  157.  @perghosh8135  You do know that there are Rockefellers, Carnegies, Du Ponts, ..., etc who are rich ruling banking families (who are not Jewish too). Most of the international bankers ancestries hail from Britain, other parts of Western Europe, and most are not Jewish lol.
    1
  158. They'll do it to everyone else in the future soon, not just Palestinians.
    1
  159. When the British Empire combined with the US, it's power was amplified by a few magnitudes.
    1
  160. they will definitely be in big trouble lol. the usa always helped prop up fascist regimes.
    1
  161. Pornographic attention span.
    1
  162. stalin is good
    1
  163. Really holding the world hostage lol... anyway, good video, Ben.
    1
  164. Ben Norton is openly a leftist and this is a leftist channel. Why would you be shocked?
    1
  165.  @onalos1271  reality has a left bias.
    1
  166. Europe is divided, not gonna happen.
    1
  167. The heavy lifting was done by the Soviet Union, not the US and UK. The US was more focused on fighting against Japan whille the UK was more or so around North Africa.
    1
  168. As if Western governments aren't authoritarian in they're own way lol.
    1
  169. they make state media seem like its a bad thing, but then they have these state propaganda pieces that serve for imperialist interests.
    1
  170. Industralization should always take priority. Climate change is mostly a farce.
    1
  171.  @nathanolson3135  China is socialist. Protectionism is just the tip of the iceberg.
    1
  172. They promote it through the great vine and lip service of the ruling class. Michael Hudson did say "industrial capitalism could potentially lead to socialism." Hence, why Western countries went with the financial route.
    1
  173. No. China has a non-interventionist and neutral foreign policy whilst the US/West doesn't.
    1
  174. They're threatening China because they know China is a bigger "threat" to them than Russia. The Russia/Ukraine conflict is a nothingburger for them. China is a bigger fish and itself being a socialist/communist state (which poses an ideological threat to America).
    1
  175. It's okay you're not that bright anyway.
    1
  176. Then him, his friends and his party/peeps would complain immigration lol.
    1
  177. It's done by the reformist government; they're exporting the energy needed for electricity in Iran to Turkey.
    1
  178. Lol, the Arab countries aligning with Israel must be so stupid. Israel is gonna stop buying oil from them if they fully annex Palestine.
    1
  179.  @easonluo4944  Ben Norton is a communist.
    1
  180.  @默-c1r  Social democracy has its limits; even the policies set by socdems get rolled back. Also, it compromises with imperialism. China is definitely setting socialism forward.
    1
  181. Gaza is on the other side of the world. China is more focused on Taiwan and the South China Sea.
    1
  182. He has mentioned before going to college and I suspect that he has an undergrad degree.
    1
  183. Nothing wrong with her being Jewish.
    1
  184. Part of the reason why the West is anti-China is that their losing their share of the economy to China.
    1
  185. The same goes for Europe becoming fascist. They're gonna become fascist again to prop up themselves for WW3. Anyways, I always saw them being fascist, but with their masks kept on, but yes that mask is slipping off again. They of course can't continue on the facade of bourgeois democracy and it's becoming harder for them to hide it.
    1
  186. Republicans and Mexican elites wants to take out AMLO and her.
    1
  187. They caused the migrant problem.
    1
  188. He mentioned it in the video.
    1
  189. privatization is theft
    1
  190. their racism is more focused towards chinese and koreans. the uk is also pretty racist towards eastern europeans.
    1
  191. No, well, you wouldn't be able to. Communism is great.
    1
  192. Right-wing governments world-wide are a joke lol. They have always been a joke. I mean right-wing means maintaining the status quo and they're certainly living up to that lol.
    1
  193. They're bought out by the West same with African countries.
    1
  194. (Not comparable) the sanctions in Cuba are bad, yes, but Gazans/Palestinians are getting killed like every few minutes...
    1
  195. He knows the Chinese system works. You're the one that's still kissing the ass of the US.
    1
  196. With the reformists like Pezeshkian, no, but if the hardliners are in charge, then yes.
    1
  197. America is absorbing some of Germany's industries.
    1
  198. Land reform and massive state-ownership are fundamental.
    1
  199. Europe should complaining about immigrants if they do shit like this...
    1
  200.  @villhelm  Europe and America cause immigration through wars and economic imperialism, just to let you know.
    1
  201. Anytime a country does well the US and Europe are frothing from their mouths to invade that country.
    1
  202. Well, you have an unelected prime minister running the country, and no one wants him lol.
    1
  203. EU has always been a vassal state of the US emanating from the Bretton-Woods systems. They only ever had slight independence before WW2 and a little after WW2.
    1
  204. right-wing holds back the world from developing. they're the biggest barriers.
    1
  205. They're not right-wingers, chill.
    1
  206.  @JohnT.4321  China is socialist (specifically they have a socialist market economy and wealth inequality existed in all socialist states, and there are still classes under socialism but not communism). China in no way is doing "soft imperialism." China is a semi-periphery state.
    1
  207.  @JohnT.4321  State-owned enterprises are mainly used to benefit the people under the dictatorship of proletariat, which does render into being socialism along with the land reforms it had. A majority of fascist Germany's economy was mostly privately owned rather a big contrast compared to China.
    1
  208. A chunk sure, but a majority of Americans support Palestine. The people that are anti-Palestine are right-wing boomers.
    1
  209. The mainstream right does want to use Russia against China.
    1
  210. It's not about ZOG. Israel is a foothold of Britain and the US.
    1
  211. China has 1.4 billion people, they'll be fine.
    1
  212. If you think it's only Jews, you're moronic. Many of the richest families and bankers hail from Britain anyway.
    1
  213. They wouldn't do this to X/Twitter (where Neo-Nazism is being spread there lol).
    1
  214. Somalia is a Turkish, UAE, UK, and US puppet state.
