  • Not surprised by this video, Marx thought that reports on native Americans were a window into how Europe was before the medieval age, which could not be determined properly because of the amount of historical ideological bullshit "historians" registered. The same way that he said once that to know how the medieval age was structured it was better to look at japan, rather than read historians of the day, in this sense, they were important, nothing else. And the notion that Marx somehow had his ideas based on these reports is right down laughable, this guy is speaking as if almost everything Marx thought wasn't the adaptation, subversion, or repurposing of the ideas other people had, the falling of the rate of profit, alienation, materialism, his value theory, dictatorship of the proletariat, communism, all rescued and then corrected from a different thinker who wrote a good thing or two and bullshited his way through the rest of his career.

    Marx wasn't a singular great man, whc by the will of his genius came up with a new way of organizing society, like this board belives, he was the culmination on an entire movement, at the crossroads of multiple branches of through, used for the interest of workers, all of which existed before, and after that bloody book.




  • worse part is that he never actually explains anything, like all neoliberal shit is just a soup of buzzwords, and academic concepts presented in such a way that you think you are learning, but it's only making you feel more secured in you ideology

    seriously, try to see carefully, visualpolitik , anything by the green brothers, it's just made to feel like you are learning, but can you even cite the main points of a visualpolitik video? yeah me neither

    Same argument applies, your "liberation indigenous people" amounts to delivering indigenous working class to capitalists of their own race, what do the working class care about the race of their opresor? the point is to abolish the means by which indigenous workers are opresed, not give them a better more democratic opresor

    You are spouting empty slogans without really analyzing their content, sure indigenous workers probably don't, but that's the thing a government structure is a way of controlling the national capital, and managing a class system. Tell me how you pretend to destroy capitalism and also form a structure that only exists to manage capitalist production at the same time?

    National self-determination doesn't exist in socialism, nations are abolished, the point of is abolishing the concept of "governing" which in the modern era meant "mediating the contradictions of capital and establishing the will of the ruling class", rather than establishing new governing structures that are more "democratic" or "representative", the problem is to do away with the need to mediate class contradictions not reforming the process by which these are mediated, by achieving the destruction of wage labor. such thing as "self-governance" is actively not socialism.

    Rather than pushing for universal gains for the working class, including the indigenous working class, you are simply delivering them to unfettered exploitation under a ruling class of their ethnic peers

    God why is that every time temperature rises a little bit American and europeans begging to drop like flies? i live in a city that daily has 35 degrees, and I've never met a single person who has ever had a heat stroke, yet a bunch of people fucking die when london reaches 23º

    I used to work in a home automation company, fixing thermostats, and I once got a lady who threaten to sue because we didn't fix her broken thermostat, saying that her baby was going to get a heat stroke and die (it was 22ºC). can't believe

    i don't even understand the video, i'm like 10 min in and they are only talking about some bullshit with unions that's only circumstancially related, and not even it as they don't seem to be examining them economically or anything. like get to the good stuff, what are you gonna hit me with, 100000000 million, something something Baudrillard, something something supply and demand? .... 17 min and i see zero arguments, i honestly prefer alex jones, at least the air he is vomiting gets to the fucking point
