43:40 I would not say Karl Marx was a smart dude, the guy leached off his own parents, uncles, always blamed everyone else for his own failures in life, his ideology has no basis in reality, led to the death of millions upon millions, while his own arguments and predictions did not come true not even slightly, his basis for his ideology was proven wrong years after he wrote it and so far the only thing that he got right was understanding that capitalism led to a concentration of power in elites and that it removes people from their own work in order to mass produce things which everyone at that time already saw and understood to be the case, he simply pretended he found a way to scientifically write it all down and intellectuals just keep ignoring all the problems with his ideology or manner of thinking simply because they want power and support their own self interest, the fact that marxism is so popular with intellectuals has really made me lose a lot of faith and respect for intellectuals in general, they aren´t as smart as they think they are.

Nietzsche also kind of predicted ww1 and ww2 saying that the loss of religion and god will make us try and create our own gods and/or worship the state and it would destroy everything.

28:30 what if everything is a false premise and everything is only ever forced and made into reality by those in power and not from anything real or objective? don't get me wrong the material world exists, laws of nature exist and many things can be objectively true but when it comes to political ideology or how society works, it's always been a mess of elites acting in their own interest or being destroyed by those that did and crafting narratives of themselves, their destiny and/or reason of acting the way they did. Now you can say ''well those ideologies or those people failed because where are they now?'' but that's not how the world works, the world is not fair, no side is equal or tries to be, one has an advantage in some aspect while the other fails at something else, it's when those ideas are multiplied on a large scale with many different factors do you get one side wins or one side loses it does not prove them to be the best, it simply means the variables in question led to them winning, being the best or winning are not the same thing, otherwise we would not have so many messed up leaders winning wars or causing so much chaos in the world.

''today we're still plagued by the anti-communist propaganda'' I''m sorry but what anti communist propaganda? the whole media, universities, shows, movies, politicians and basically everyone but people who lived under the horrors of communist rule like in eastern Europe are being bombarded with pro communist nonsense and excuses for their horrible acts against humanity, most western people don't even know about the gulags or the cambodian genocide against their own people or the horrors of famines caused by central planning. most of western europe, northern europe are socialist with mixed results, many socialists and open marxist and communist parties still exist and many socialist and communist nations also still exist continuing the exploitation and abuse of their own people from China, North Korea to south america. as time has gone on we've become far less capitalistic and more government intervention focused as well as having high taxes for both the rich and poor but the poor are most effected by taxes. I honestly don't understand how you would come to this conclusion so I either assume you have been completly brainwashed into thinking this by communists themselves or you are just being dishonest to support your own worldview.

@Trokkin the great famine in China starved 40 million people, the holodomor killed about 4 million, polpot killed about 1/4 of their own people, Stalin killed about 50 million, North Korea has killed millions mostly of their own people in total. Your arguments are exactly the communist brainwashed propaganda that is so common these days where attempts are made to pretend like capitalism killed people on the same or equal scale when in reality this is a fictional narrative with no basis, Communist regimes had to made sure people could not leave, capitalist nations allowed people in and could work for their own profit. Government central planning and authoritarian abuse is what leads to famines, the free market actually allows food to be distributed via value incentives and raises production levels of food instead of acting anti scientific policies that lead to famines see holodomor and the great famine in China. Nobody in the west learns these events anymore! There is no anti Communist propaganda! It's only constant excuses and promotion of communist view points in academia, media and movies, frankly it's evil. When you talk to eastern Europeans who lived under communism like me you learn why they hate it so much.

@Trokkin you should move to China then you probably love the oppression and social credit system. Look if you don't understand basic economics or history what's the point of talking with you? You already sound ideologically possed and clearly aren't interested in having a legit conversation or actually look into the economic effects of communism or their history and I have a very limited amount of time I can't spend wasting on someone who thinks capitalism is anywhere close to the millions of deaths caused by and continue to be caused by central planning and communism. You can easily find video's online about why communism sucked, from "the insane economics of the soviet union" to "Mao's famine" and the Holodomor. And with that I hope you have a nice day.

@_Spectrum Atheism can't really give meaning to life, at best it allows one to not be bound by collective religions dogma but also leaves you without a guiding ideology or worldview, while im an anti-theist, I do think Religion attempts to explain concepts that have a real biological and cultural meaning to the world, core concepts within christianity like redemption, forgiveness, being humble or simply admiting you don't know something or is beyond your controle gives a better understanding than simply ''there is no god and all religions are stupid with no value'' of course most Atheists know this and still study or try and understand religions or even follow certain rules set by christianity as being morally good but not actually believe in the spiritual or dogma of the religion.
