Creating a coffee café business to protest capitalism? The irony is hilarious.
Did you not learn of the bustling coffee cafe´ culture in pre-capitalistic times? The peasants grabbing a cup as they hurried to pay their food rent to the local commissar (noble). They all dream of being spare children of noble houses, priests, military officers who could be writers when writing was a liberal art, a hobby, but unremunerative.
Nothing new about people grifting by making businesses specifically appeal to the Communist community. Noam Chomsky made millions selling his Commie books. And did Noam take his newfound wealth and move to a Communist paradise like Cuba or Venezuela which he has claimed are better countries than the US? Nope. The man lived and died in Arizona - a fairly conservative state. (Communists and anti-Capitalist Anarchists are the same thing.)
i actually wheezed laughing at this. you couldnt fucking write this shit in a family guy episode
Marx was inspired to write the Communist Manifesto after seeing the proletariat charged too much for skinny soy double mochas.
Selling merch there is crazy
It's easy for people who never witnessed communism or have little knowledge be so enthusiastic about it. I'm from Poland and it's almost impossible to find a communist here. Our grandparents and parents told us their experience from communism, we are taught about it in history classes, we have to read books and poems about it, so everybody here knows it's a terrible idea and it'll never work.
It’s not a terrible idea in itself. It’s just extremely unnecessary and easy to be corrupted. Capitalism doesn’t equal injustice. Communism doesn’t equal justice and no work. Most of these “communist” don’t know what they are talking about.
Ja znam jednego komuniste z Polski (znam w sensie widziałam jego filmiki na yt)
I fit into that group that has never experienced communism and has little knowledge about it, but even I know that giving loads of people no incentive to work is a bad idea.
None of these "commies" would be that way the moment they have to go hungry
I was born in the GDR. I'm very much immune to Communism due to my lived experience.
We were taught at school (and earlier) how great Socialism, Communism, The Soviet Union are. Well, and then there was reality...
P.S: I've been to Poland once (only once, sorry^^) and I loved it! Especially Krakow has deeply impressed me. What a beautiful city, full of history. And all the people were so nice and open and helpful, it was heartwarming.
she wants to travel and have fun, but then who's going to work at the hotels she visits? or serve the food she eats? Run the airplanes and trains and taxis? Robots? What a bleak future.
Meanwhile in Soviet Union you couldn't go abroad and couldn't even go to the Soviet resorts without the permission of your boss ( as a treat for hard work and it was difficult to get)
As someone who's been in and out of service industry since 1999, I wouldn't mind robots taking over some parts of those jobs, because damn, are they soul-killers.
I'm a (I hate to admit this) a professional server (waitress, if you will). I would SO rather be writing or singing, or even learning to fly a plane, but I don't think a robot could actually do my job. It takes a level of humanity, perception, and skill to be good. Being good doesn't just mean you can balance an entire tray of food in one hand (my hands are tiny, and I have noodle arms. I could never do that. I'm jealous of those who can.)
What makes a server good is how the customers feel the whole time they're there.
There's so much more to it than just taking orders and bringing food. It's little things, like recognizing when a mom is having a hard time with their kid, so you make a funny face, or give the kid (or mom) crayons. Or overhearing that it's someone's birthday, so you surprise them with a dessert after their meal, ect. For that one, I've learned how to find out if that person has an allergy so that I can bring a dessert they can enjoy without fear. I actually like those little moments. I don't think a robot could do that.
But I would still much rather be creating.
Now, for things like taxis, or transporting things, or doing the dishes, delivering food when you don't have to interact with the customer, ect. Yes.
Automate those. Please. For the love of God, don't make me do dishes ever again.
"F**k capitalism! Also, buy my 'I Hate Capitalism' t-shirts, coffee mugs, jewelry, buttons, and water bottles to support my business!"
A friend of mine emigrated to the UK from Venezuela in 2016 due to food shortages, starvation, lack of opportunities, resources etc. Now he owns a business, has a roof over his head, and eats food without restrictions. If he was living under socialism he could end up begging on the streets according to him. But now he is living a happy life under capitalism!
U.K. is socialist 😂
Your friend should sell his house in Venezuela for $1 to those snotty wanna-be-communists so that they would also get their own experience of what they believe in.
Hook me up with one of your lady Venezuelan friends
Socialism and food shortages, most predictable.
The UK is rapidly becoming socialist. The immigrants are getting a house, money, medicare and other support while the born and bred Brits (like me) get f all.
Imagine their reaction when they realize the hammer and sickle means WORK
They probably don't even know what a sickle is even FOR.
@@lovetolovefairytalesI'd be surprised if they knew what a hammer was for.
I live here in China and yes one must work for a living in a socialist county. Salaries have increased faster than prices, except for imports, so life is getting better.
@@Mr.Patrick_Hung that's called deflation. Be careful
@@MrMoneyclips How is inflation working out in the UK/US? Your pay can buy less and less each year.
Truthfully, prices do go up here as well. Imported frozen American pizza is ridiculously expensive. Cabbage, carrots, plain clothes and rice are cheap. Rent is cheap, outside of the first tier cities.
The reason why we see a cultural shift where young people think they hate capitalism actually has to do with healthcare, a disappearing middle class, unaffordable higher education and the housing crisis. Address these issues and the anti capitalist movement will dissipate
these are all problems created by underregulated capitalism. And yeah, when a movement reaches its goal, its stops. No shit
a lot of this things are causes by socai policies take housing in San Francisco as an example in much of areas you cant built an apartment/house that more than 3 floors which causes rarity of houses which creates higher prices there was a guy who wanted to built 5-6 floor apartment but he couldnt bcz of all the burocracy and regulations etc imagine if it was allowed to built everyone would built it and prices would go down
I think this explains everything probably nicer than anything else in this comments section (and maybe the video too.)
People forget that we had a lot of economic disparity throughout history. You are not special just because you are now aware of this. Also, blaming boomers for the state of the economy instead of including millennials, Gen X, and Gen Z for creating this as well is absurd. The problem is thinking they can replicate what some of the other countries do. Yes, the U.S. is expensive, but we act like other countries don't have problems (just because they have Universal Healthcare and "free" college). Young people think that their parents had it easier, but if you just start to not overspend and stop traveling like you are rich, then you could be living decently.
Or maybe just reintroduce fraternal societies, cut the department of education and energy, audit the federal reserve and disband the FDA, along with removing government regulations on healthcare which is the reason WHY the american healthcare system is so atrocious, along with generally reducing government power?
Gulag archipelago is one of the many books that kids in polish high schools are obliged to read and i'm glad we have to.

Y'know, I actually used to be quite enamored with some form of communism. Then I moved to China for work. Jfc. I legitimately SOBBED when I returned home and saw that "welcome to the United States of America" sign at US customs. I won't go into everything I saw and went through while there, but good lord, us Americans genuinely have no idea how good we have it.
Us Poles have the same problem with not knowing what we got. We have super low unemployment and ultimately safer and cleaner than any American city I've lived in and yet too many city dwellers wants us to adopt the German and French models of acceptance.
It is amazing how much the greener grass "over there" is always so appealing to people that won't touch grass around them.
China is a beautiful country tho
I think you demonstrate the issue in that most people in the West don’t actually travel outside the West and see what goes on. You need only spend a bit of time in these places and you can see for yourself how good we have it here.
of course you won't go into things in detail, because you're afraid of getting debunked
I don't think a single one of them knows what capitalism is

@@animallovers5290 The OP is saying that the business owner and people similar to him (in ideology) are massively hypocritical.
That's how they be man, sad hey.
They're so mad simply because they don't want to work... it's hilarious
Socialism is based on work. Do-nothing was a crime in the Soviet Union, as it should be.
I mean I get it I don't WANT to work ( who does? ) But I'll take working over being enslaved to the government so yeah communism def isn't the answer.
I think they're mad because they can't figure out what to do with their lives, and they think their only option is working at McDonald's, which would tell me that they know nothing about capitalism. They could literally start their own businesses and offer services that they have fun with. That's the beauty of capitalism; they can at least take a shot at doing what they want to do in life. Unfortunately, they don't imagine how great their lives can be.
@@lehelflothmann5174 Yeah, exactly! Of course working isn't what you enjoy most in life but if you earn your own money you can spend it on creating a life you enjoy. Besides, it is possible to find a job that you might even like or at least don't hate
@@G360LIVE I totally agree. It seems like they are just too lazy or not capable of working hard for something they actually like. There are a lot of possibilities when it comes to someone's career. It is freedom to have these opportunities and being able to spend money that you earned on whatever you want. Nobody said it's easy but it's necessary.
As a polish I really am in disbelief. I am glad you covered this Misha.
Why does anti-capitalist suddenly mean communist, you can be anti-capitalist without being communist
This. I am an anti-capitalist but at the same time I am also an anti-communist. Americans could never understand the third position.
Decades of red scare does that. In their eyes, you are either a capitalist or literally Stalin.
@mysticalrandomness4282 well that's stupid because I'm literally oswald mosley and that's neither capitalist nor stalin it's basically F.D.R
@@N.R.A_Enjoyer I know, I’m agreeing with you-
We need to start a gofundme for all these "communists" to get them a plane ticket to communist countries to stay for good.
Do it!
Yeah they should go on a trip to north korea
@@naczilu8483 One-way trip.
But they’re not “real” communist countries lol
That's going to be difficult because a "Communist Country" as you put it is an oxymoron.
If the store owner was actually an anarchist shop owner, he would have no problem with people walking in and talking things without paying. Might is right!
and their employees would have no problem working for free...
I want to get a group of people together, each person grabs an armload of merch and just walks out with it. See what the dumbass owner does about it.
That's why he failed. He was a _pay what you can afford_ establishment and ran at a loss (cost + donation on merch). He did practice what he preached. It's precisely why he failed. He also failed because of the _communism_ part of anarchocommunism. Anarchy is simply an absence of rulers and likes to get tossed in with a general feeling of chaos.
Anarchist are anti-government, not anti-market you goof lol
I'm not an anarchist but at least I know what they are since i've actually talked to them and have listened to many more of them online just to see what they are about. How are you on the internet and still not learn anything?
@@jarrod752 Anarchy is associated with chaos because anarchists create the chaos to challenge the establishment, and well, in the 70s and 80s it was really just a lot of punk kids doing punk things because it was cool. I know there are strands of anarchy, and I used to follow the strand that wanted more localized power and less federal but not get rid of either. Basically the whole, what works in NY doesn't work in a small town of 700 people. Can't tell you all the intricacies about it because i was really more focused on the idea of telling people i was an anarchist:) bc it seemed cool to be one when I was in my late teens, early 20s

Boris Yeltsin visited a grocery store in Houston Texas shortly after the USSR collapsed. Upon seeing all of the variety of goods he remarked “my God what have we done to our people?”
Now see what he lead his nation to
Boris Yeltsin wasn't a communist and he is one of main reasons of food shortage in late USSR. So he could as well say "What have I done to our people?"
As a massive history nerd, communism, and the people who don’t learn about the atrocities of communism, genuinely scares me.
Me too. It scares me too. The communists starved people, restricted travel, murdered children, tore families apart, and this is what people WANT? God have mercy on these idiots.

Do you have any good book or video recommendations? I've been studying North Korea for a couple years and the things I've learned on this topic are just insane sometimes.
@@Salem-vu9cl I don’t have any book recommendations, but for videos, I recommend Disturban History’s videos about S-21 prison in Cambodia and the Cambodian genocide. It is absolutely horrific. I’d also recommend looking into Mao’s Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution in China. And Stalin’s famine in Ukraine.
@@Salem-vu9cl “The Gulag Archipelago” is always my first suggestion. A more recent book is “The White Pill” by Michael Malice which shows the horrors of communism.
I actually agree that true communism has never been tried…because it’s impossible.
Communism has been done and it failed miserably. Socialism has been tried and it fails at large scales. The irony is that the people tossing around these ideas don't understand what most of the words mean and confuse the 2 but socialism does not have a government as that would make it communism.
True communism requires a fully selfless society, which is never happening, and then I still think capitalism with a fully selfless society would be the better option
@@dustinmartin2369 _"Comm unism has been done and it failed miserably. "_
Wrong. None of the mar xist regimes have achieved comm unism yet ... a state less and clas sless society has never been a thing.
@@dustinmartin2369 _"but social ism does not have a gover nment as that would make it com munism."_
Wrong. Socia lism is an economic system which advocates for collective ownership/control of the means of production, distribution and exchange of goods. You can have a government that uses social sm, and that has been the most common form of socia lism. In the marx ist philosophy, it is this very soci alism that is the stepping stone to the proletarian revolution and then into comm unism, which is supposed to be a stateless/governmentless and classless society.

I love how almost all of these Commie-Tiktokers are white Americans that are seemingly upper to middle class. They have this weirdly romanticised image of what the communist revolution is, instead of the apocalyptic hellscapes that all communist revolutions were. The Holodomor was caused not by some underlying russian bigotry (at least not entirely), but because collectivization and economic planning are inheritly dysfunctional system.
I can't with these people. I see this romanticization of comminism as little more that simple counterculture-nonsense: "Capitalism bad, so its """"NaTuRaL"""" opposite, communism good".
Spread the word, my friend. Let those who seek the truth, find it. Best wishes
The thing is. They don’t even know what they are talking about. Like communism is not about not working, everybody being rich and no corruption anymore. Quite the contrary. I think Marx even empathised the importance of labour and workers. Even in a „good“ communist society, you would still need people who do shitty jobs etc. Yeah, the have this stupid romanticised image.
Aye I know that saying! My mum told me it. What language was it told to you in? My mum told me the saying in spanish.

Nope. Original phrase was about "Liberal" and "conservative"
Always absolutely wild to see an Asian teacher willingly teaching socialism, especially if they’re Chinese or Korean. Not to get all conspiracy theorist, I’m starting to think they’re honestly plants 😂
If you ever come across an anarchist cafe like that, especially one that bans police, walk in and take all their stuff and ask them what they intend to do about it. Every tote bag. Every book. All of it.
Misha, something really ironic about the café owner. So he didn't want to operate in Vancouver "due to its unwelcoming sense of classism" and then decided to go to Toronto. Speaking as a Canadian, this is so ironic because I'd say that Vancouver is the left leaning capital of the country and Toronto is absolutely the business powerhouse of our country. It makes me laugh every single time.
I agree with you completely having lived for years in both areas of Canada. I’m only living in the lower mainland for the weather and even that has been very disappointing lately. Too many people here are absolutely cuckoo and have left leaning mindsets that show a lack of intelligence.
I'm from Vancouver and it's extremely expensive here maybe that's what he meant by capitalism... 😂
Toronto traffic is worse than Los Angeles. My sister and I live in the US but our parents live in the GTA.
We are homesick for the driving conditions in Los Angeles. Lol. There's something I want to buy but I'm going to pass because it means driving into Toronto.
I live in Roraima, a Brazilian state bordering Venezuela. Everyday I see so many Venezuelan families on the streets. It’s heartbreaking. I can’t help but feel anger when I see all those little tiktokers complaining about the most stupid crap when their biggest worry is people misgendering them.

@Ocorydonsome of your comments make me glad your not in any form of power
@Ocorydon the ending to your response solidified my claim.
The fact we as people today are so privileged and have life so easy and that we don’t understand true hardship, struggle, and suffering, is amazing. Working 40 hours a week with 10 hour work days is *not* oppression. Waiting in line for food, or having your children be forced into the military and taught to kill their parents is oppression. And the idea it is denial of reality.
Molotov himself once said that “compared to Lenin, Stalin was a lamb.” Let that sink in. Lenin was worse than Stalin, and that’s from a man that personally knew both Lenin and Stalin. Fun fact, Fascism has much more in common with Fascism, and that’s not an accident. Mussolini was kick out of the Italian socialist party for being too extreme, and the full name of the Nazi party is was National Socialist Party. Fascism was meant to be communism but actually a plausible reality rather than a beautiful fiction. Didn’t work, obviously, but still.
“Everything within the state, nothing outside the state.”
-Mussolini describing fascism.
There has never been a time in history ever where you could sit around and not work to survive.

A Venezuelan that doesn't live in Venezuela? It would be nice if people could be honest instead of claiming they are from or have any connection to a nation they want to use as a punching bag. You're very sick in the head to laugh at the circumstances of people who suffer. It's best to not use the suffering of others for a political talking point, especially when you don't know all the details. It would be great if America could remove the many embargos on that nation while it's in an economic crises, but I don't see anything about that in your comment....
Epale, ¿de qué parte de Venezuela eres?
@@Hunterchuck trust me, a lot of Venezuelan people were sorta forced to leave the country to survive. And that was not because of the US embargos that you seem so obsessed with. I'm a Venezuelan living in Venezuela and I don't judge or criticize fellow Venezuelans who are no longer in the country bc I live here and I understand their position
@Hunterchuck first off I have never laughed at anyone with people suffering back home, just at the fools who think it is the way to go. Second our situation is happening because of our fault, nothing to do with the United States. Third, my family has lost almost everything to the insanity happening. And other families are in similar or worse situations. And finally when I was in the US army I prayed they would send us there and help restore some type of law and order.

It's very simple "if you don't work, you don't eat"! Rather, you are capitalism or not. At least under capitalism, you can choose your own way. Under anything else, you are a pezent.
As someone with parents who grew up in Maoist China, I find it highly insulting when someone wants to eliminate capitalism. I really would like to see how long they'd last in such a place today (like maybe North Korea since even China today, despite its countless flaws like corruption, is a capitalist society and got there thanks to capitalism.) My dad came to the US in the early 80s with about $500 to attend grad school and died with over $2 million a few years ago. Not exactly "rich" but how many of these anticapitalists were able to accomplish such a feat even with a head start growing up in a first world country? Unless you had a major disability or something, I can certainly bet my dad started with a decisive disadvantage compared to you.
That being said, I don't think the current system of capitalism is perfect but it's always been a work in progress. Name one country today where its citizens enjoy a high standard of living that doesn't have a capitalist economy? Nordic countries you say? Well, guess what, despite what the US media tells you, these countries have an economy that is still rooted in capitalism! They may have some more social programs than the US but they're mostly designed so that you won't be out on the streets or resorting to a life of crime when you're down on your luck. They'll provide you enough to live a fairly uncomfortable life where you at least have a chance to get your act together again so you can continue adding value to society and the capitalist economy while the relative lack of a safety net in the US ends up hurting capitalism since a lot of poor folks can't afford to gain the new skills or fix their health problems that keep them from achieving their fullest potential.
So this is a bit paradoxical but I'm hoping that those of you who "hate" capitalism figure out how to improve it. If you really want to replace it, please convince me how your new system is better and will lead to a higher standard of living than the status quo. Otherwise, we need to look to improve capitalism. I'm not saying we should copy the Nordic model but it's still worth really digging in and understanding why they're more prosperous with their version of capitalism and see what others can learn from them as well as other forms of capitalism being practiced today.
Even those Nordic countries specifically state that they aren't socialist, in fact they're actually even more free market than the US!

I went to Cuba in January for three weeks with my school, and it was one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life. While I never believed socialism could possibly work and benefit citizens, walking through the streets of Havana and seeing just how miserable and bleak the economic, political and social situations are cemented my opposition to socialism and communism. Any time I hear someone my age complain about capitalism I think in my head "Go to Cuba for four days and then come back to me." Seeing it up close is terrifying and really really sad, and made me grateful for all the opportunities the US provides.
I'm sure that this life conditions have nothing related with total sanctions and blokade that USA put on Cuba fo 60 f*cking years...
I mean this is a great tactic - put total sanctions on the country you dont like with sole purpose to crush it because they refuse to serve you as your vassals (slaves). Then come with surprise about how poor they are and blame socialism for this instead of USA sanctions))

So true. You can see a very intresting thing if you visit Berlin. Berlin was divided in two, half of it was capitalist, half of it was communist. Even to this day, you can see the difference between the two part of the city. The communist part is much grayer, poorer. The difference is visible.

The government could take any of your possessions, any time they wanted, or if they thought you were a threat to the regime. Somethimes it didn't take much to be reported. I know it sound pretty incredible to you westerners, but people ended up in work camps, or in prisons for reading the wrong book (Lord of the Rings, Animal farm, Bible etc), listening to the wrong radio chanel (for ex Free Europe), or liking a wrong type of music. (My father had a rock band, and he ended up a lots of times in the custody of the Securitate, just because of the music he liked).

I'm pretty sure that communism is not anti-work. We communists want to work but by work, we want to work eight hours a day and receive a fair minimum wage. All of that bullshit theory saying that "Communism makes us lazy" can be easily debunked because in a communist state, you still had to work but you worked for the state, not for the capitalists.

Another great video. Keep them coming.
The reason why people get angry hearing the words communism and anarchy is the same reason why they get angry hearing the words nazism and fascism: it's the incredible amount of death and suffering that those ideologies have caused. People rightfully recognize the untold amounts of tragedy that those words are associated with and they don't want it to happen again in the future. Unfortunately for us, history has a tendancy to repeat itself.
As a Pole who was already born in a free and free-market country, and yet still experiences the legacy of death, oppression, and resulting generational trauma from my country's history, this trend in America is the most baffling, terrifying, and frankly outrageous to me. These people have no idea what they're talking about and what they're wishing for. They don't realise they are the gullible, undereducated, exploitable masses whose expendability is the very core of the ideology they endorse. It literally doesn't compute to me that someone can know enough to use "fascist" as an incredibly strong insult, but then "communist" has little to no bad connotations to them???
ETA: I guess it's not surprising in the sense that the Left use Marxist ideas and language of oppression as well as perfected propaganda, so such people have already bought the rhetoric.
Funny thing is that all you former oppressed groups under the nazis wanna be neo nazis now 😂 we got russian, ukrainian and polish neo nazis.
As a Bulgarian who was also born after the collapse of the USSR and the Warsaw Pact, I second everything you said. Sadly, a lot of fellow young people in my country fall for the same lies and tricks of communism, as well as the propaganda of prominent pro-socialist individuals who meddle with our politics and development - ideological descendants of the same communists who terrorized our nation after WW1 and turned it into a Russian/Soviet puppet after WW2. Ironically, many of them are the reason Bulgaria is so corrupt and far behind the rest of Europe in pretty much every way, whilst they blame our pro-NATO and pro-EU politicians for "selling us" to "the Evil West".

People believe the sales pitch for Communism, they don't learn the reality of it. That's the problem.
My grandmother was an executive at an airplane factory in Russia. By Soviet standards, a pretty well paying job, as you might imagine. She could barely provide for my mother and uncle. She had to make money illegally buying and selling whatever she could get her hands on to make ends meet. My great uncle in Tula worked at the arms factory. He was the wealthiest man in our family since the revolution. He had tiny apartment and was able to get a Moskvitch when he was in his 40s. In contrast, in modern capitalist Russia, my cousin, his grandson, works the same job, is in his late 20s, has a house, and drives a new 3 series

Yes, absolutely. You do not get to benefit from a community if you don't contribute to it.
If you don't want to work, but you go out into the woods and make everything yourself, cool, nothing wrong with that.
But you don't get to take from your community without also giving. It's just ridiculous.
Funny thing is, that they don't realize, that under communism or socialism (if we even take the theory in itself) they still will have to work and provide for themselves. Communism and socialism aren't even in theory about "all fun and no work", it's about how the wealth is earned and distributed in society and based on completely other social, political and economic situation at the time they were written and produced. Not even to mention the variety of afterworks based on Marx theory in itself. Because Marxism and Marxism-Leninism are not the same thing
You: "Yes, absolutely."
---- Oh goodness no. We have technology that automates a lot of what used to be done by slaves. Sure, some businesses like farmers still hire desperate immigrants for work that most don't want to do, but most of farming is done with machines which produce more than enough food for everyone.
Most of how the economy works isn't actually efficient and is mostly unneeded. We have set up a system where people need to work 40 hours just to get paid something that can pay the bills, when they aren't actually producing anything for many of the hours they are working.
For example, I can install a control box for wifi remote controlling of the pumps and other features and make about $300 doing that. But when you factor in the wage system, I would have to do that a few more times before I get to see $300 for the day because the business owner wants to take most of the profit from each. Lucky for me I have my own sole proprietorship business so I don't worry about the wage system that everyone else worries about. But I was once there and hated being worked like a dog just to get 40% of what profit I was giving to the company, and then see the guy who owns the business going on multiple vacations and having a life 100 times better than mine. Not a smart way of organizing society, this capitalism.

Also the animals on the farm would have no barn, leads, or training because it “impedes their freedom”. And no firearms allowed.
My husband chuckled and said “Well, that makes us robbing you easier then, doesn’t it? We can lead off the animals to a safe place while I take everything with my gun. Or we with the power could subjugate you if you refuse to defend yourself.”
He wasn’t happy that we poked holes in his logic, as he was never questioned by any other friends before.

What’s really an embarrassment is how closed-minded the older generations are when it comes to leftist politics. Every ideology is apparently the same as past failures. You need to take the entire situation into consideration, past attempts of communism have failed but the reason I would argue is because of selfish leadership who refused to stick to Marx’s ideals.

I attended one of the world famous University of California campuses when I got out of the military. I majored in History and focused solely on the spread of Communism in Asia during the 20th Century. I did interviews with refugees in Cambodia Town and spoke with people who survived Mao's China. The amount of peers and even professors who were upset that I wasn't in support of those regimes in papers and presentations was astonishing to me. How could people be in favor of all these human atrocities? Then I really started to learn about the academia system in the west and how they are so out of touch on campuses. The level of Marxist indoctrination these young people in the video have been through is enough to convince most people to believe in these ideals. Like that young person said @9:12 they learned about it on Tik Tok. Young people myself included (since I am from So Cal) are/were bombarded with these messages daily. And it will take a lot more than ridicule from us to save them from it.
Edit: Change to structure and punctuation(s).
I too survived one of the University of California's indoctrination camps, and you make an excellent point. Every humanities class - bar none - used Karl Marx and Michel Foucault as foundational readings. People who haven't been through it have no idea just how ideologically captured our institutions are. Paired with our current "get the grade at all costs" model of academic success, and the fact that 20-somethings in general don't have enough emotional maturity to be good critical thinkers without some guidance, and we really do have a perfect storm on our hands. I've lost a lot of respect for people I thought were otherwise intelligent in these last few years as I've realized just how much of this insanity they've absorbed without question and continue to cling to even as we're officially middle aged.

After all, these countries aren't completely communist, but surely THESE people on Tik Tok are the key ingredient for achieving the 'real' communism, right?
Exactly! Sentence them to 5 years in Venezuela or Cuba with no parole.
@@hannachumakova1086 Venezuela didn’t collapse because of Socialism, but from being over reliant on oil for a its economy, and inflation.
You also talk about Cuba being bad while it has free education for all citizens, high quality free healthcare for all that Americans could only dream of, a higher literacy rate than even the superpower that is America, near elimination of homelessness, etc.
send them all to north korea.
I agree. Let them understand how most of humankind lives under Capitalism.
I had a tour guide in Prague who was 8 years old when communism came to an end in the Czech Republic ( Czechoslovakia).she remembers after the communist rule tasting chocolate for the first time and being amazed at how she had no idea that this wonderful thing existed in the world. She also walked us by the beautiful outdoor market with all of the fresh food and recalled how as a child only cabbage, potatoes, and onions were available with the exception of carrots on a good week.
The face of an argument being framed in a florescent mane should be your first warning sign.
5:08 Actually that is footage of the arrest of a man who used a gun in the subway to save a woman who was getting mugged. Yeah, the NYPD couldn't be bothered to save the woman, or catch the mugger, so instead they arrested the hero.
As a swede who lives in a pretty socialist country by most other countries standards... this works because of work ethic and because we're a relatively small and comparatively wealthy country. Even then you get paid the minimum needed for survival if you don't get a job and all ofc but that's it, you don't get no fancy shit you get enough to survive with the hopes being that you realise that's not how you want to be living and that getting a job will improve your life a lot... that and due to livable wages and a strong sense of community when certain people are being underpaid, things like going on strike and actually sticking to said strike until conditions improve. Again this is mainly due to cultural reasons as well as due to our education. This shit would never work in america partly because the country is too damn big, your leadership system is completely different and your people never seem to actually be able to come together on anything. The latter probably being the biggest issue you face, both of your two sides can agree that workers need higher pay but instead of banding together and going on strike to vote with your money and make companies actually change it always turns to someone accusing the other of some unrelated political bs and then starting massive amounts of infighting which leads to the entire ordeal going nowhere. I mean honestly I don't know how the fuck to fix america at this point, all I know is that our system does work and that it works because of mainly our lack of infighting.
Unfortunately, every time guys like me suggest having a system like Sweden, we still get called socialists and communists.
New Zealander here. You guys (and us) are only socialist in the sense that we have state welfare (housing, health, benefits).
Both our nations have market economies, strong export sectors, private property rights and have socially liberal (english liberal) cultures
If you want to start a business, of any kind, you can. Just pay taxes and follow the laws
The welfare provided through the state largely replaced the welfare previously provided through churches
Socialism is something completely different
Hey what's good in Sweden?! I'm an American but I'm very proud of being 75% Finnish 25% Swedish.
"exploited" in capitalism means "Yes, i agree to do this work in exchange for this amount of money".
Well, technically true, but as per usual it's much deeper than this. Almost all regular jobs don't pay enough, so you can't just go and find a better job unless you either take the time and invest the money into education which is a huge life plan that is easier for the already wealthy. Afterwards to find a well paying job in your field of interest you probably have to go to a big advanced city which automatically means high rent/mortgage costs and everything is gonna be abit more expensive than in rural towns. And once you realise you will have a hard time earning enough because capitalists want to pay you as little as possible while keeping enough people working under them to make a profit you can decide to just start your own business.
But wait, that takes money, money that you don't have unless your family is already rich from working to the bone or from simply owning shit, both of which are up to luck. Saving enough money from a minimum wage job means you have to deprive yourself from a normal quality of life to pay all the necessary bills and expenses and save enough, leaving the only option for saving money to be from entertainment/fun like going to a party and drinking with friends or starting a pizza party (very costly) or from the occasional treat like sweets/dining out/anything that is fun and requires money. So you spend your early years miserable to make your later years better, which is really honorable and impressive, but then you see the people born into enough wealth just jumpstart their education or career and not worry about finances, going on vacations or treating themselves whenever they please.
So finally you decide to not take any of the shitty job offers instead of asking for reform or help from the government. That means you more than likely can't afford to be in a city, maybe you can in a town, but with the current housing market even that can be a stretch. So you go live in a village where your standards of living are much lower. And hopefully you don't want children, cuz if you do you are basically dooming them to a harder life with the lower educational prospects in the village or nearby towns and lower quality of healthcare if god forbid a random tumor or other disease occurs in your family.
I am not saying we should look towards communism, just that capitalism does in fact exploit workers, but in a much more sinister and clever way. By not being outward slaves and giving the options to leave and find another job people can feel they have control, but they don't have control over the job market, the job market has control over them unless they have the capital to leave it entirely and start their own business or buy an asset that can generate money for them.
Про историю потогонок в Англии и США почитай, а так же про современные рабские условия рабочих в Индии на токсичных производствах, перенесенных туда из США, и про детский труд на шахтах в Конго, где добываются металлы для айфончиков, и вот тогда ты поймешь, что по-настоящему "exploited" in capitalism means. Что эти истерички в видео дебилы и не понимают в принципе, что такое социализм, что ты, и что все в комментах, которые стянулись жаловаться на страшненькую красную угрозу, одобряя при этом репрессии во времена маккартизма против тех, кто боролся за улучшения условий труда в США, и понятия не имея, что в их странах тоже существовали смертельные потогонки, пока клятые социалисты с их рабочими движениями и профсоюзами не стали устраивать стачки и бороться за права рабочих, мужчин, детей и женщин. Не важно за коммунизм ты или нет - не лицемерь и уважай свершения этих людей. Заебали.
@@momchi98Now compare that to having to fend for your own food without any modern innovations. People need to realize the baseline for life is far lower than they think and capitalism is by far the best system in place as it allows everyone to benefit even if it's not an equal distribution.
@@dustinmartin2369 True, but the idea of society and the point of progress and education at all IS to never stoop back down to the baseline, we are beyond it and hope to forever stay beyond it. We are far too intelligent as a species to be accepting of the life of a simple animal. Just because we aren't at the lowest point does not mean we shouldn't strive higher and we already use this argument in pretty much every field of academia and technology and many people consider it a big part of capitalist thought as well, innovation that is. So why bother going to space and researching quantum particles and all the extreme difficulties that come with it, but give up on creating a stable, fair economy that leaves no one behind? Everyone wants a meritocracy and wrongfully praises capitalism as one, but when the real idea is brought up it's considered too utopian. I get that it's difficult and I am not saying we should be striving for ABSOLUTE perfection, just that we already have the resources and technology to do better and yet lobbying is a thing still (one of the worst aspects of the USA, period) that lets rich people have a MUCH bigger say than the general public and as capitalists care only about increasing their profits, not the wellbeing of society, the average person unnecessarily suffers because of capitalist's unquenchable greed. This isn't a law of nature, it's manmade and just like we got rid of monarchies (for the most part) eventhough they felt natural for the longest time, we can make a more just society where rich people don't get richer passively due to just OWNING profit generating assets after the initial boost from mom and dad. As long as being poor costs more than being rich then income inequality is a preventable economic disease that can be squashed.
For a small part of the profit when the rest goes to the capitalist
Very good job Surkov!
