  1. I didn’t agree with him at first, but he is right, Marxism a a cult.

  2. My boy, he does understand, he is just capable of understanding that it is gibberish.

  3.  @NRWTx how is he wrong?
    3
  4. You have any actual arguments?
    3
  5.  @MarxinRios  so then what is he getting wrong?

  6. Read what?

  7. True, dialectics aren’t evil but socialism uses dialectics to cover up the fact that they are a religion.

  8. socialism has two core tenets, individuals need to give up their rights for the benefit of the collective (or as Marx said it “from each according to their ability, to each according to their need”), and the free market is terrible (and a centrally controlled economy is more efficient). Both of these combined together tell us that socialists can’t be democratic. Socialists believe their system is more efficient and moral, so anyone voting against it is voting against the self interest of the collective, and any rights that works against the self interest of the collective will be taken.

  9.  @alphana7055  nothing you said contradicts what I said. If “from one according to his ability, to one according to his need” was indeed an end goal, it still means the end goal is to take away the rights of the individual for the benefit of the collective.

  10. Can you name the rich Germans who supported Hitler before it looked like he would win the election?
    2
  11.  @freemindrebel  oh nice! From what I seen it doesn’t actually disprove that they were socialist.

  12. How so?
    2
  13. Only people who believe the same things I do can talk about x thing.
    2
  14. Well what has he got wrong?
    2
  15. Now so?

  16. But what is your actual production value? You say this like there is objective value, but there isn’t, value is determined based on trade.
    2
  17. That is just cutting away the curtain of bad dialectics.
    2
  18.  @afgor1088 socialists always say you have no right to say what they actually believe unless you believe in the same thing as them, sounds a lot like a religion to me.

  19.  @robk8463  outside of basing his socialism off of race instead of class, what makes him different.
    2
  20. Now so?
    2
  21. ⁠ @JavierSanchez-zj6su No single person is responsible for all these things. Your statement sounds a lot like creationism, if god didn’t create all of that then who did?
    2
  22.  @JavierSanchez-zj6su  well compared to what? All other systems of production have equal or greater issues. Communism, or the sharing of goods communally tends to brake down once the number of individuals is greater then the number of relationships one can have. Socialism, or central planning for the good of the collective brakes down because it cannot properly calculate value.
    2
  23.  @JavierSanchez-zj6su  Then what makes communism different form socialism? And you can’t predict what I’m going to eat for breakfast, so how will you know what the people actually value?

  24. His entire belief structure, when someone builds a Christian cult do you have to ask if he was Christian?
    2
  25. No, he made the link by studying their economic policies, this is just the next step.
    2
  26.  @jrton1366  no, I’m talking about the link between marxism and nazism. He didn’t make that jump from exploring the occult roots of nazism, he made it by studying the ideology and polities of the Nazis and comparing it to the ideology and policies of Marxism. The occult stuff just explains why these ideologies are self contradictory messes.

  27.  @MarxinRios  simply because das kapital and other such works aren’t meant to educate. Those books are meant to act as litmus tests, if your onboard with the ideology you would understand them, but if you’re not then you won’t.
    2
  28.  @MarxinRios true, but TIK has, you just can’t imagine someone reading the book and deciding it is bogus.
    2
  29.  @MarxinRios have you seen any of his other videos? He regularly quotes from it and other books written by marx, it would be hard to do that without reading it first.
    2
  30.  @MarxinRios  honestly you keep on stipulating that he hadn’t read it without any proof that he didn’t. All it looks like to me is that you can’t believe someone would read the holy book and not believe.

  32. Why not?

  33. Now so?

  34.  @youarenotme01  humm, YouTube really doesn’t like my comments right now.
    2
  35.  @alphana7055  if he read it you will still say he didn’t. Your falling for exactly what he talked about, your have the knowledge and he doesn’t, the knowledge is your ideology which you have fallen for that can’t be criticized otherwise you don’t know.
    2
  36.  @alphana7055  he did not, the redistribution of wealth was purely because he believed in the labor theory of value and saw capitalists as parasites on society, so removing the capitalist was purely a act of economics.

  38.  @laughingwho7290  socialist logic is quite literally bogus as seen in this video. Can you give me any examples of socialism that doesn’t believe rights are privileges?

  39. What?

  40.  @edd5883 your telling me the Soviet Union didn’t also exterminate minorities?
    1
  41. Eh, the average standard of living increased for ex-Soviet countries. But that was mainly in the big cities.

  42. There was a comment above yours talking about how this video helps them understand Das Kapital. So doubt.
    1
  43. What are you talking about?
    1
  44.  @alphana7055  did you watch the video? Your science is just dialectics, with no evidence behind it. Give me an example of socialism that doesn’t believe that rights are actually privileges.

  45. Yet Marx didn’t really care about equality.

  46. What assumptions do you need to get the right answer?
