I know we don’t often have a moment or idea we can pinpoint, but this exact video made me realize exactly how fucked the current system is. Somebody showed it to me and that was enough to make me see just how disgustingly distorted my actual idea of what the wealth of the bourgeoisie looked like.
I didn’t turn into a leftist overnight, but this video never left my mind. The way it shows wealth distribution as what we believe the “ideal” vs what we think actual wealth distribution vs current wealth distribution is... was just so striking. It made me so angry. It made me angry that so many people I knew couldn’t get a college education, couldn’t feed their family, couldn’t pay their medical bills while this kind of wealth exists. It disgusted me. The video is very lib, but in a way that is extremely eye opening, and with some nuanced guidance it is extremely disturbing material that can radicalize people.
I just felt like it might be good to actually share some material like this because it is important to keep making people aware of reality. Reality endorses Marxism.
showed this to a generation of high school us history students. i'm doing my part

I wish this came out when I was in high school. Would’ve done me some good
