Outclass presentation and as a science student I used to think about that a lot but did not knew about dialectcal materialism now i know about it Science for me is more interesting than before.
Great talk! Since I learnt about diamat in a political context, I couldn't help but see it at play in nature, biology, chemistry, physics etc. Great to have it laid out
Marx is not the only writer who developed a view of the world and society as a labor -process. He was the first to prove the two fold character of the labor-process, where individual(s) and their labor is measured by average labor constituting the value substance of things as what makes all types of labor exchange for money. From this he was able to trace two sets of laws, one set of laws regulating individual(s) and their labor in society, and another set of economic laws governing average labor as value. Ultimately, the two sets of laws, the former legal based on custom and Roman Law, the latter economic based on individualism and competition, creates a redundant social class whose labor has no value but is useful labor for producing value in all labor-processes. The working poor is born and for Marx the hope was they would transform the world through political agitation. Upset people to make their brains critically think about their historic separation from the necessaries of life as a man-made phenomenon and then act on reuniting themselves with the necessaries of life. Value relationships and the marketization of products would in the future fully possess, dominate and separate the material world from this social class and use this class on an 'as needed basis', according to its own needs. Simultaneously, treating this laboring social class as dispensable on a 'you do not need to know' basis. For this social class the struggle is about individual dignity and will the value relation in society destroys. For its monopoly and corporate nemesis the struggle is about competition. Out of this comes a class struggle inside an external struggle of competition by rival capitals. He was then able to show the movement of the material substratum of societies so that nothing is static and ahistorical through this double labor-process. Despite it all true human progress is taking place. The subject is a major commitment but one with great summits coming from the source. Great lecture summary was it anti-philosophical?

Very good talk! Worth the watch no matter what your beliefs!

Danny Powell
Is "is" like it or not! Though "is" may be different depending on if you like it not.
nothing is forever. not even the posters on the wall :)
Every time he says “if you like” take a drink (great content as always)
Amazing!
What are the books referred to in this video? Can anyone help me out with the name of the books as reading materials for my personal study .
Try Engels' Dialectics of Nature
Reason in revolt, marxist philosophy and modern science
23:34 you can get to metaphysics from dialectics! It's how the metamorphosis happens! 😍🤩✨
8:21 There goes our revolution.....
Help: I can't figure out the name of the french clergy man at 15:06. Nicol what?
Nicole d'Oresme
I love you Ben.
excellent
Science doesn't operate independently from ruling class.it serves in this epoch to the bourgeoisie .I like it immensely!

Deny "Malthusianism" and you get Lysenko, millions dying of starvation. Well done.
I intuit that Marxs intuition of dialectics is wrong.
