  1.  @needmorequarts1081  sort of makes sense lol

  2.  @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.

  3. No lol.

  4. Socialism also lies in land-ownership. Which Mao basically laid the groundwork and foundation.

  5. Good vid, Ben.

  6. 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).

  7. Britain and its Anglo offspring countries have no rights to complain about immigration

  8. Yes. Japan was propped up to be an anti-communist state.

  9. 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.

  10. 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).

  11. When the "far-right" governs the country, it has always led to bad results... Ben is not wrong.

  12. 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.

  13.  @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.

  14.  @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.

  15.  @rarescevei8268  you can easily google the definition.

  16. China is rich in gold? I thought China was a country that somewhat has little resources.

  17. They control the world and media.

  18. Economics is an important part, yes.

  19.  @ellentau427  Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos aren't Jews lol.

  20. 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.

  21. The double standards and hypocrisy of going after Putin but not Netanyahu lol.
    1
  22. People think that Israel controls the US, but it rather happens to be that the US controls Israel instead.
    1
  23. Because the mainstream right uses Nazism as a tool.

  24. It's usually a communist government that works for the interest of the people.

  25. No, Ethiopia shouldn't have a sea port.

  26.  @CC-jq4lr And you expect people of East Ukraine to continue lying down while they get killed? Buzz off.

  27. On top of that the West complains about immigrants too when they caused those problems.

  28. Democracy is a meme lol. The only true democracy is socialism.
    1
  29. 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.

  30. Not strange actually.
    1
  31.  @LuisAldamiz  No. China is a periphery state.
    1
  32. 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.

  33.  @judyyee4163  exactly lol.

  34. 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.

  35. She advertised herself as being right-wing and even quoted Mussolini, but still any right-wing governments are sell outs.

  36. 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).

  37. 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.

  38. Bigger question is why did the EU/USA stole their wealth and resources?
    1
  39. Private sector has always been parasistic, it has always eaten and nibbled away with the public sector.

  40. People should stop saying that "MTG is anti-war"

  41.  @Muneerkhan-y3l  I'm rather more jealous of China than India lol.

  42. "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.

  43.  @mna7308  43 of the 50 ruling families in America are non-Jewish. If anything Episcopalians are more overrepresented than Jews.

  44.  @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.

  47. 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.

  48. Lmao, Western governments are hypocrites.

  49. I wish Ben Norton can post more videos. Maybe even do livestreams everyday lol.

  50. 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.
