@cameronr7223 It's the end of American Imperialism.

@sarahmiller4734 Capitalism working as intended taking everything up into fewer and fewer hands.

@malicant123 What do you expect from a system that glorifies the greed of the ruling class?

We are living the death Agony of capitalism.

At age 12 you aren't allowed to work with machines in a factory so you are most likely a sales person like newspaper delivery or maybe handicraft sales or farm work.

@lachanclita5907 Its the end of Imperialism as the highest stage of capitalism.

@erichamilton3373 Own what? I was a worker my whole life what I own is next to nothing a truck, trailer and hand tools.

@onlyone2948 It resulted in the defeat of the bosses in Europe and Japan and victory for the American Imperialists but also the defeat of the Imperialists in the Soviet Union and China. So it had mixed results. The European bosses were no longer the colonial masters they once were, Wkle American business would dominate the capitalist world. Yhe Imperialists ended the slaugter with the nuclear bombing of Japan. Ome third of the world was left closed to unrestricted business investment the colonial people would demand national independence form Western Imperialism.

@AltairEgo1 The end of capitalism as it fails as a world system.

@aqua_addicts1787 Its a system that is failing because its working the way it should.

@monsieurlemon As a boomer we had access to a limited number of books in public libraries and public school teachers you have access to world class professor online not to mention the ability to search huge academic libraries all at the tips of your fingers. If you can't get access its do to capitalist gate keepers charging exorbitant fees.

treeghettox Off the hook for what this is one of the most foolish videos I've ever seen.

@pacjam418 The video equates the decline of capitalism with a lack of Puritan motivation and the decline of the middle class and plundering of the working class by big capital as the inability to make capitalism work for the masses of people though savings. This is the natural way in which capitalism works it creates an ever smaller and ever wealthier ruling class while the middle class is driven down and into the working class. Its nothing more than slavery to the big capitalist who are nothing more than a wealthy class of labor exploiters for the advancement of capital.

@DefaultFlame If you want a relationship you need to have them otherwise you will have a self fulling prophesy. Tell her your not promising white picket fence, life in the suburbs and life near hear mother. That way you won't need to get divorced why the next layoffs hit. Tell her you can give her what capitalism promises which is nothing. .

@Mr.Needle-Hamster The natural workings of the capitalist system.

It means the end of US Imperialism as economic investment defended by military force. The US LOST the cold war despite all the crowing about the defeat of communism.
2
@Mr.Needle-Hamster All that is happening is the natural workings of capitalism is catching up with itself. Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism.

@armonshakur_VMGmultimediaEnt. Its the death agony of capitalism.

@Attmay Sorry but I'm not going down the emotional road of crazy. Discussion over.
2
@undrwatropium3724 It was an illegal and immoral war. They sent whoever they could including people like Forest Gump who had no business being their except as cannon fodder. My year they introduced the lottery so even without a student deferment I wouldn't be drafted. Some people joined ROTC because they decided they would be drafted on graduation and wanted to be officers if they had to go. Some were arrested for something minor and a judge gave then the choice of the army or jail time. Protests within the military developed as GI's discussed the nature of the war and minority soldiers racism. The antiwar movement reached all the way to both sides of Vietnam and across the world. Various state secrets were released that became very embarrassing for a government that claimed it was fighting a war for Democracy abroad to protect Democracy at home. Richard Nixon had won 49 of fifty states in reelection. VP Agnew was first forced to resign in a corruption scandal and Nixon after the Watergate break-in that was motivate by a paranoia of being surrounded by political enemies.

@mosespray4510 Of course capitalism is failing because its strangling itself. The US, the West and the Eastern bloc are all follows advice of Milton Friedman of maximizing profits as the way to the future.

@ameyb9241 Your living through the end of Imperialism the Highest stage of capitalism.

@Trip_mania World capitalism has been in crisis since August 1914 when the first Imperialist war began. The world has only become more developed and the worlds working class only become larger and more internationalist. Less racists and while the capitalist nations ruling classes have only become more divided. Unable to divide the spoils among themselves the capitalist nations march again towards war and fascism. Fascism or war on the trade unions at home and Imperialist war abroad. Revolutionary Cuba points the way forward in a world without Bankers and bosses running the means of production. The profit and private property system fails as capital replaces labor then the rate of profit must decline since the orgin of the profit is our labor. The capitalist become nothing more than a class of useless bosses demand something for nothing since capital can only accumulate and demand a return on investment.
1
@libertariantranslator1929 For what? The failure of industrial capitalism stock markets driven by greed into collapse. The real cause of capitalism failure is the private property system itself. A free market is a fantasy dreamed up by the defenders of capitalism as an idealistic goal that can never be reached. Where as the real driver of human history is the class struggle.
1
@libertariantranslator1929 Anyone who has read Mein Kampf knows its a plan to create a racial pure German Empire like the British and French Imperialist. The Bolsheviks were the first to call for an end to the war and a peace with no annexations. The signed a seperate peace with Germany and after the US/UK signed the armistice they invaded the Soviet Republic along with 12 other Imperialist armies and counter revolutionary whites. Imperialist NAZI Germany, capitalism on steriods, was defeated by the Soviet Union. You lost every major confrontation of the cold war and you did not defeat communism rather the rise of the popular revolutions in the East means a return of the workers of the east into political struggle. As the counterfiet communism of Stalin was revealed for all to see. The Cuban revolution keeps moving forward like a bone in the throat of US Imperialism. As comrade Trotsky said if our generation is too weak to create a socialist world certain the future will be bright as we bring the spotless banner of socialism forward. Meanwhile your two capitalist party system is in crisis caused by the failure of the Empires war in Afghanistan along with your crisis of 2008 and the use of police state methods against Donald Trump for criticizing the Empires policy of globalism. .

Varza Aryata The American Imperialists investors want a world Empire not refugees from the colonies. Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism.
1
Varza Aryata After the Paris Commune the Soviet Union was the second attempt at a workers state. The new Soviet State was invaded by 14 imperialist powers including the US/UK. In the US a red scare was started by the Democrat Wilson who had Socialist Eugene Debs imprisoned. In Cuba Fidel Castro drove the American Imperialist and their collaborators from power. All attempts to overthrow the revolution and reestablish a capitalist Cuba have failed.

This is nothing more than a BIG LIE told by the capitalist bosses.

@PeruvianPotato All you need to do is look at the federal Reserve stats to see that all the new wealth is going to the top since Nixon ended the gold standard gains in productivity stopped going to the working class. Why don't you end the blockade of Cuba? What are you afraid of now after sixty years of blockade? Your going to see a rise in class struggle now as the long retreat by labor is over. Look at the protests rocking Peru now.

@wiswc Do not kid your self this guy enjoys a good time as much as anyone else. You living through the death agony of capitalism that began in 1914. and out of the ashes rose the new Soviet Republic.

@mamabear71234 This is the death agony of capitalism.

@DavidWilliams-qr5yj Social Security works for a simple reason those who work support those who don't. The problems that develop with capitalism are the result of the natural workings of the system itself. The workers are only paid a wage so long as the work and the capitalist accumulate wealth only so long as they can sell at a profit. The continue to accumlate wealth and demand a return on investment even the investment in itself produces nothing. Rather wealth is created by labor and their is never a shortage of labor. Rather an in abilty to match labor with capital begins to occur because of the natural tendency to overproduce which causes the capitalist to shut down production. Capitalism is the first system to have crisis not due to lack of savings but the overproduction of the system itself.
1
@DavidWilliams-qr5yj You welcome to try an refute anything I say if you like. By using central bank created inflation the capitalist raise the money value of property at the expense of wages. This is how they replaced the old fashion wage cuts they use to issue when the industrial rate of profits being to naturally decline.
1
@DavidWilliams-qr5yj Facts? Well you haven't presented any. Except to call me names and act like a spoiled brat.

@alarrim29574 The bosses want the most out of us that is because we are the source of their profits. S they want us working the longest hours for the lowest wages.
1
@undrwatropium3724 Its the failure of capitalism and the lies told by the Milton Friedman and company about the capitalist system.

@newyorkfan16 Slavery is almost non existant in the modern world. The US stopped being a net exporter in 1973 that doesn't mean all exports stopped. The workers standard of living also stopped rising with productivity. The US is a center of world capitalism and even the world centers are being shaken up as the crisis of trade and production continues. Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism as the ruling class wil march todards war a fascism to save themsleves from the coming revolutions.
1
@jnagarya519 Its a class divided society and that has more to do with ideas and attitudes than anything elses. That's why their s no typical boomers or Gen X or anyone else. The year 1973 will go down as a major political and economic tirning point in American history. The war in Vietnam ended and so did the dollars value in gold along with the end of wages rising with productivity. This marked the beginning of the end of the cold war along with another defeat for American Imperialism.
1
@inmjoh The people who work in Chinese factories are workers who are paid a wage otherwise they would not leave the countryside for the city. Slaver and wage labor are not the same thing. The places were slavery still goes on are few and far between. Its just become much to easy to run away for slavery to be a viable way to conduct business. If you count people inside of prisons as slaves then the United States has the biggest slave population.
1
@jnagarya519 All those things were a result of a protest movement outside of the two party setup that was changeling the scared cows of the cold war and American capitalism.
1
@jnagarya519 The war was began by Kennedy along with Johnson both Democrats along with the vote on the lie about the Gulf of Tonkin voted for bi partisan. Both are pro war pro capitalist and pro Imperialist parties despite the lies told by their politicians. Their job was to try and bottle up everything to a debate between the two parties who are bought and sold by the capitalists. Kennedy brought the world to brink of nuclear war because Fidel Castro lead a revolution over throwing a US backed dictatorship in Cuba. Many politicians including Nixon ran as peace canidates. Some wanted to use nuclear weapons in Vietnam. Only the Socialist Workers Party candidates were for immeadate withdrawal of all Troops and an End to the Draft. GIs in Vietnam refused to fight. Black GI's protested the war and the racism of the brass. Liberals were all pro war until they realized they had lost and wanted to avoid more costs economically and politically. The reason for the end of the gold standard was the failure of the war and butter policy of the two parties. Kennedy okayed the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam in an effort to strave them into submission just like the 60 year US blockade of Cuba.
1
@jnagarya519 They started firing at night after claiming to be hit. The navy reported back Johnson went forward with the resolution. They checked the ship the next day and found one unaccounted for dent. They reported back to Johnson and he just laughed because he got what he wanted. You supported the Democrats who were the Party of George Wallace and Hubert Humphrey.all pro war until the realized they had lost. Jimmy "Human Rights" Carter he supported and armed Pol Pot and support him at the UN as a way to punish Vietnam. You know god damn well that people like myself had nothing to do with assholes like "Abby Hoffman and Jerry Rubin." What do you think you got some damn monopoly on you tube now? The Democrats have always been a Pro imperialist War Party. Starting with Wilson, FDR and Truman. All cold war antilabor witchunters like the Kennedy brothers. No differene between the parties.

@inmjoh ILO was founded by the Worlds Imperialist powers after WW1 not really interested in what they or an NGO foundation.has to say. People who constantly focus on other nations and ignore there own ruling class are just so many hypocrites.
1
@inmjoh My experience with peolpe like you is you have a dishonest agenda and I''m not interested in feeding into it and don't write asking me what I'm talking about. If you need the definitions of words you can seek them elsewhere. Imperialism is capitalist investment in foreign nations for extra profits defended by military force.
1
@YiddishDancingClown Me and College Republicans who like Ben Shapiro would probably denounce you for being an antisemitic.
1
@Attmay The European Imperialist decided they would like to fight with each other destoying their idunstry leaving the US untouched due to geography. That is how American Imperialism became top dog. Europe and Japan were left in smoldering ruins. America became defacto head of what was left of the British Empire and Latin America.
1
@Attmay Imperialism is foreign investment backed up by military force to defend it. Truth is always revolutionary my friend and the truth must be told. Cuba soldiers went to Angola to defeat a South African invasion and the defeat of the invisible "White Mans" apartheid system was a great victory for human kind. The role of the US Imperialist was the same as usually to support Aparthied South Africa and its war aims in Angola. That is why Mandela went to Cuba first to thank Fidel Castro and NOT Ronald Reagan who was spewing that nonsense of Milton Freedman about Free markets.
1
@inmjoh Only one has 800 foreign military bases and says it fights police actions and only a few have nuclear subs armed with nuclear milsses only a few have aircraft carriers and only a few have dones and have a space force preparing to rain death from space. Yes America is an imperialist nation ever since Mark Twain joined the anti Imperialist league. Why don't you stop using the tactics of a Stalin where you try and rewrite history and deny your crimes. USMC General Smedley Butler Wrote War is a Racket where he called himself a gangster for capitalism.
1
@inmjoh Its an English word used by a number of English authors including Hobbs and Mark Twain. Obviously you need to be able to win a war as a foreign power your going to need to be military power. The US military plans to win not lose wars as do those who invade other sovereign nations the fact that its no longer that easy for an Imperialist powers to win doesn't mean that they have given up. The Imperialist didn't win the cold war rather the Stalinist regimes collapsed because their leadership was counter revolutionary and unreformable. The most corrupt quickly signed on to the ideas of the American Imperialist rushing for the privileges that capitalism would promise. Of course the Milton Freedman slogan of a free people with free markets is nothing more than a bad joke in Eastern Europe as American capitalist turn then into debt slaves and Putin seeks to reestablish the power of a now clearly capitalist Stalinism blaming Lenin for the independence of Ukraine..
1
@inmjoh You can"t? He had thousands of loyal communist executed in both the Soviet Union and Spain. He had whole groups of political prisoners who volunteered to fight in the world war executed. None of that crap went on in Cuba because if it had the US would have invaded and taken over quickly. So you can explain how Cuba has no private property and you have to blockade them. You tried every trick the US CIA and the rest of your rotten politicians can think up and its failed in every confrontation. Everything is catching up on all your lies about capitalism and democracy and you losing all the support you once had. Only a few fools believe that self serving Milton Freedman nonsense about a free market creating a free people. Everyone sees how you mistreat the people of Cuba for you oil Price who has never held a national election and murdered a US journalist in his Embassy.
1
@inmjoh An organization of Cuban counter revolutionaries, former US Gov't officials, Cuban business executives and relatives still licking their wounds after the defeat at Giron. The counter revolutionaries also produced a quilt of genocide that had to be withdrawn after it was shown it had the names of people who died of natural causes and people still living. The executive director has relatives that fought as CIA mercenaries and was educated in Human Rights under the Pinochet dictatorship and was a former VP at Chase Manhatten bank.
1
@inmjoh No one denies that criminals were executed after the revolution. These are people who engaged in torture and murders not people who had just fought as soldiers. The revolutionaries had promised the Cuban people that justice would come to those who had committed crimes under the dictatorship. No one executed his ever been show to be innocent of the serious crimes charged. Had they not been punished than it would have allowed the US an excuse to restore order if street justice were allowed to take place instead. Nevertheless most of the former police and military were amnestied and put into productive work or left for the United States. Those who were captured after the US CIA invasion were traded back to the US for medicine. No one was tortured for information although spies among the fighters were shot.
1
@inmjoh I don't care about your quotes taken out of context. No one who was sent to the wall was ever shown to be innocent of the serious crimes charged and all received informal trial and Che reviewed the evidence against those convicted at La Cabana. They got more of a trail than they gave any of their victims. So just admit you believe all the lies made up and told by the the United States Gov't and their Cuban collaborators and we will be done with.the argument. So don't bother continuing since all you interested in is provocation. .You put up you quote and cited your Bib Business human rights NGO so we are finished Get it. .
1
@inmjoh Hold on the moral superiority BS anyone who has read the bible would conclude God himself is a genocidal maniac. Hoasea 13:16 The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open.”[a]
1
@inmjoh Ever think that given Stalin's training the Tiblisi Orthodox seminary that maybe he was overtaken by a belief he had become a God and was doing the Lords work?
1
@inmjoh Your right they didn't get the kind of "fair trial" you would get if you had money with a defense lawyer and all the time that would take. The got summary trails and Che reviewed the evidence. Did American bourgeois justice prevent the execution of Cameron Todd Willingham on junk science despite appeals and a bourgeois state machine? Lets go back to 1959 in the United States were civil rights activists murdered by white policeman and freed by all white juries? You have yet to name a single innocent person that has been executed in Cuba that can be verified independently outside of US Gov't and Cuban counter revolutionary sources. You keep up this phony crap about ideology because you can't ague with the actual ideas or the context in which a decision was made. Why don't go back to the civil war and condemn Lincoln also with your pumped up chest on your moral crusade. Twenty thousand died to get rid of a US installed and armed dictator doing the bidding of those who bought up a country with Yankee dollars. But all you want to talk about is how some actual criminals who did what you claim we do were executed.

@marklewonczyk5079 You don't pay in and than get paid back out like a pension scheme. The way social security works is that it is a pay as you go system and it has always has worked that way those who work pay for those who don't. .Ir only collected taxes for a few years before it started paying out old age benefits. The private pension and 401k is a bogus promise based in the stock market speculation. I was promised multiple pensions and the one that I actually qualified for disapeared. Social security was their for me and my family since it was enacted. Inflation kills any savings and private pension you try to build not to mention the inevitable recessions or a devastating illness. Everyone who has paid in has almost always received more when paid out. If social Security isn't working than capitalism itself is failing. You pay half and your employer pays half for a total of 15.3% not 1/3 of you paycheck
1
They don't tax you on the SS money they pay out unless you have more income. All your doing is repeating the same old lies told by capitalist politicians like Reagan and Clinton taking about how they couldn't afford a better retirement and healthcare but had these phony private investment and worthless health insurance plans.

@tula1433 Capitalism doing what it does best sucking up everything into a massive toilet.

@Attmay Its the failure of the system of profit maximazation above all else. Its the failure of capitalism and all thise who do the dirty business for big business.
1
@juliaevergreen9192 Basically this is the result of the natural workings of capitalism along with the class collaborationist leadership of the Social Democrats and Stalinists. Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism and the US Imperialist Empire is coming to an end.

@jamesc.e.s.4551 Stalin reversed the revolution heading back to capitalism that never happened in Cuba. The Cuban revolution continues making history and the working class in Eastern Europe and Russia never voted for Milton Friedman Shock therapy.

@prodigalpriest Really actually its an indictment if the American capitalist ruling class and its partners the Social Democrats and the Stalinists.

@alwaysfreedom9354 So your in the drug business? Personally my drug of choice is the caffeine in Pepsi Zero Sugar.

@GaryCameron You see a certain didn't fall but the Stalinist leadership collapsed as the masses realized they'd been sold a counterfeit communism. You talked a lot of horseshit about the end of history and Bush gave his 'New World Order" speech and then what? South African Apartheid is defeated by Cuban soldiers under the command of Fidel Castro. The crisis of 2008 results in the intervention in the so called free market that for years you said worked perfectly fine. You spent 20 years and 2.3 trillion dollars only to be defeated by those you said were the enemies of Democracy. A whole scandal is unraveling on your use of secret police methods by the FBI against Donald Trump and his supporters.

@silverback7675 That right you upper middle class snob I'm just trash that lives in trailer parks.
1
@silverback7675 Why don't you libertarian "Silver Backs" follow the male orangutan into the jungle swing from tree to tree eating the low hanging fruit? Human beings are social animals we live in groups and always have labored together to make a life for ourselves. The right to private property began as a right to tell others you can not come on or use this land. It began as the tyranny of landowners and then became the tyranny of the factory owners. Its a claim that requires the force of a state to maintain. For if the capitalist could not get propertyless debt slaves to work in the factories he could not make a profit. He wants the longest hours at the lowest wages. He seeks to maintain his profit system by telling lies about his motivations for doing all the rotten and corrupt things he does just to maintain a few captains of industry in power and with luxury. He fights against the trade union with a state to declare the strike illegal and he orders invasions of whole counries that reject capitalism. He claims to be saving democracy when all he cares about is his mound of capital.For him everyting has price he puts a tag on to sell in a market which he need police to defend against those who might be hungry or destitute.
1
@Heavy Metal Pulp Nope because capitalism works to yield the highest profits to those who can best exploit the most labor and resources It works to reward the most ruthless businessman those who care for nothing but the biggest profits. For capitalism to continue endlessly it would have to have infinite markets. Otherwise as capital replace labor the capital value rises and the labor needed to produce goes down since the origin of the profit is labor than the rate of profit must decline and approach zero. So by seeking to succeed capitalism guarantees failure since machine can only reduce labor time otherwise the building of a perpetual motion machine would be possible. Regulated capitalism in the US and advanced capitalist countries is what we had post ww2 and that has shown itself to be a failure as capitalism can't self regulate the greed of the ruling class.
1
@johnhoney5089 Communism is a movement not a new doctrine of social reform with its holy priests. It is the history of one class the proletariat in struggle with the other most important class in history the capitalist class of victories and defeats. The class struggle goes on under our very eyes. Since the Imperialist war of 1914 our class has held state power somewhere in the world and we have powerful trade unions in all the advanced capitalist countries. The flame of world revolution burns brightly only 90 miles from the shore of the most powerful Empire in Human history.

@buckaroobonzai2909 It is just the natural economic forces of capitalism at work. The bosses prefer single males since you only need be paid what is necessary to get you to come back to work the next day or pay period. A single women who gets pregnant or has children has the need to take time off from work and the bosses are profit maximizes not excuse .takers Why pay for a family directly when you can push that cost onto the government. Single women are less likely to want children if they have to care for them themselves so abortion become the cheapest way to handle that problem for women who hold jobs to support themselves.Where is the next generation of workers going to come from ou say? Well that what immigration is for if the bosses need workers here let other countries pay the costs of maternity and early education. If you want to understand capitalism you have to think like greedy bosses do. The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is a do gooder propaganda organization. Advanicing the ideas that Gates is a well paid genius and not a ruthless business tycoon.
1
@buckaroobonzai2909 I also haven't got the slightest idea of what your talking about but I'm sure it makes sense to you. Are the trees threatening to join a union and go on strike or march on Wall street or are they just plants like you?

@aminormaximum2446 Hippies were just a part of a youth rebellion against capitalism demands for confomity. All that is happening is the end of the world capitalist system caused by the natural working of the system and the class struggle it is producing.

@jbak6892 Capitalism created nation states with ruling classes who fight over the world market. Workers of the world unite you have nothing to lose but your chains and a world to win.

@jbak6892 Orwell fought in the Spanish civil war and died before Stalin did in 1953. Stalin hadn't been gone for more than a few months when strikes broke out in the Spviet Sector of Eastern Germany. .Khrushchev came to power in 1953 and revealed to the world that Stalin and the bureaucracy had engaged in crimes against socialist legality. Leon Trotsky Stalin most voracious critic explains how the bureaucracy came to power why it did and does the things it does. See The Militant and Marxist Internet Archive.

@rschier1 You still can't forget the defeats inflicted on your Imperialist military by the Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese peoples. In Korea they said drive the Imperialists into the sea.

@ennui9745 China and the Soviet Union were anti-Imperialist at the time since Imperialism is foreign investment by a nations capitalist class in a colony for extra profit. Fourteen Imperialist armies including the US/UK invaded the Soviet Union in support of counterrevolutionary CZARist forces. The US has been an Imperialist colonial power since the taking of Spain's colonies. With the end of World War 2 the US became the worlds leading Imperialist power. Today Capitalism with Chinese characteristics is ignoring US Imperialism "New World Order" for their own ambitions to become a new Imperialist military power. China's betrayal of revolutionary Vietnam began in earnest as a favor to Jimmy "Human Rights" Carter who wanted tp punish Vietnam by supporting the genocidal maniac Pol Pot. Next time you see Carter swinging a hammer at Habitat for Humanity think about a pile of skulls.
1
@ennui9745 Your definitions always ignore the class struggle and classes since American liberals like to pretend capitalism is the one and only economic way of doing things. That's why they have developed all their own language to put capitalism in the best favorable light. Capitalism becomes a mixed economy and communism a command economy.Everything is turned on its head as capitalism becomes freedom and communism slavery. The Imperialist Powers began world war one. The Russian revolution was begun by striking female textile workers. When the posr World War one revolution in Germany failed the Bolsheviks turned to freeing the colonial slaves of the Imperialist Powers with the 1920 Congress of the Peoples of the East in Baku. The Imperialist powers set up a "Gab Fest" called the league of nations that did absolutely nothing for the colonial people.
1
@ennui9745 Orwell fought for the Republican Side of the Spanish civil war and with the coming war went over to the side of Democratic Imperialism. History has proved Ttotsky correct and Orwell wrong. Calling the Soviet Union Imperialist became fashionable explanation for the Soviet Bureaucracy measures designed to maintain bureaucratic rule. . People as far back as Adan Smith pointed at the peculiar relationship between colonies and the mother country. The English Economist Hobson is the origin of Lanin's ideas on Imperialism. My bet is most people in Vietnam and China see Mao of Ho as their liberators and NOT the US Imperialists.

@rschier1 The assumption made by the author of the video is that capitalism never comes to an end and that their is no class struggle going on.

@aminormaximum2446 Each new generation stands on the shoulders of the past. It looks at the past to create the future in the present. To further survival it must advance the productive forces of man otherwise its culture is destined to decline in favor of others more productive ones. .

@aminormaximum2446 Capitalism is based in the nation state it developed the world until the competition for world markets became so great Imperialist war broke out. The is Imperialism the highest stage of capitalism with two world wars and a third on the way despite what you may think or want. Only the worlds working class have the interest in halting the greed driven ruling classes drive to dominate the world market. Capitalism only works to advance the accumulation of capital while a decline rate of return on investment guarantees class struggle as the bosses seek to prop up profit rates with fiat currency used to raise the value of property while holding down the value of wages. Keynes advice to the British capitalist class on how to rob the working class without issuing the old fashion wage cut. The long period of labor retreat in the Imperialist contries under Social Democratic and Stalinist leadership is over.
1
@aminormaximum2446 The use of capitalist methods and seeking short term wealth is behind the destruction of rain forests and desertification. Agricultural production for unstable markets is the way capitalism functions in the third world. When the Cuban revolution came to power the made land to the peasants who wanted to work it a proroity along with voluntary collectivization. With an economic plan the peasants can be guaranteed they will get what is needed and paid for their production.
1
@aminormaximum2446 The Cuban workers and farmers have already abolished private property. They have already shown what free healthcare and education can accomplish unlike the 'US where tuition and doctors fees are charged. What reason do the capitalist parties have to reverse the natural workings of the capitalist system? There donors are getting what they want as Bernie Sanders is a majority of one.

@travismiller758 It's my fault that I'm a worker. I suppose I should work hard and get ahead like Hillary Clinton? Clinton knows how people like you want to get ahead. That's what you are aren't you a get-a-header. Whose fault will it be when big business clowns can't pile on the profits based upon ownership of private property? Aren't you to tell me how you earned every penny you pinch. How Bill Gates is a genus for cornering the market on operating systems so he could make a fortune and buy up farmland because he now sees that the future is in food and not computers in your "New World Order" distopia. .

@travismiller758 Didn't they teach you to stay away from people who live in trailers and drive trucks in the boss school? If you come looking for trouble we know how to dish it out.

@Attmay Like I said I'm not going down the emotional road of crazy making or answering ridiculous charges. Marx's, Lenin's, Trotsky's, Stalin's, Hitler's, the bible and writings are all available for people to read. The Marxists at Marxist Internet Archive and Hitlers elsewhere. Make the most out of your ridiculous charges because you aren't getting some kind of confession from me.

@Attmay You've already outed yourself as a nut case so like I said the literature is available on line at at The Militant Newspaper website.

@photofinish8607 That's exactly why their is no need for Private Property and why Cuba has abolished it. Private Property is the property used to exploit others.
