Nowadays more Union meetings are being held online so it’s more convenient to attend
@@cameronmetz Oh, joy! More online meetings. I doubt they're any less mind-numbing, though.

Dr Sowell your voice is currently one of the most valuable. In 1956 I enlisted in the Marine Corps, and spent 13 weeks in "Summer Camp" at Parris Island, SC. I distinctly remember one class on political history (or something similar) . One question to the class was: " In what year did Karl Marx write the Communist Manifesto ?". I responded with "1848 sir". The instructor immediately told me that was incorrect, and that the correct answer was 1917.
At age 21, and a college dropout, I was smart enough to remember that my primary "mission" was to survive Marine boot camp, and that trying to correct one of the instructors at that point would be detrimental to my plan.
My Point in all this is that the truth is being obscured - either by intent, or by accident - by not only individuals, but by agencies and institutions at multiple levels. General Milley is way off base injecting his political emphasis into military training/operations.
I feel fortunate that I am 86, and by God's providence, I will not be here when the "Wheels come off" !
We see now just who Milley is loyal to.
Well said, thank you for your service
finally a man who sees the truth
I envy you, pity my 7 year old son, and thank you for your service.
It's intentional and has been going on for a long time. People have documented it and been branded conspiracy theorists. Good information is hard to obtain.

"Idle Hands are the Devil's Workshop." ~Evangelical Christian Saying
It was a Jewish saying 1500 years before.
And these Communists now show us what that saying meant
Jesus the first Communist
Judas the first capitalist

Nothing original
@@robertmitchell8630 You’re absolutely WRONG regarding your comment. Jesus was not a Communist. He was God in the flesh who came to save the world from sin, died on a cross, and was raised from the dead in 3 days by the power of the Holy Spirit, and reigns with God in Heaven. Jesus went to Heaven to prepare a place for His people, and is coming back one day.
Judas was not a capitalist (a wealthy person who invests in businesses and finance). He was a disciple of Jesus who became a traitor to Him (Jesus) for 30 pieces of silver. Judas regretted his decision, tried to return the money, and when refused, he threw the silver pieces onto the floor. He then went and hung himself.
So, Engels had a position of authority in a company in England, where he could actively work to improve the working conditions? Did he actually do anything to help those workers or did he just profit from their misery both financially and also socially through his writings?
Just realized that's a silly question. If course he didn't.
This question was always in my mind. Is there any authentic source to find an answer?
Practical improvements? Hell No! Dialectical speaking you have to make their life harder, so the revolution comes earlier! Lol (except Lenin used this "argument" against the "renegade" Kautsky (readable digest/critique in Karl Poper The open Society and its Enemys#2))
Classic double-dipping leftie, gaining both profits and sympathy through the same misery (of other people).
@@arulsammymankondar30 there are a few reputable biographies
He wasn't really in any position of authority as he was in England because his father sent him there and was pretty unpopular with the bosses that ran his father's mill so he wouldn't have been able to do anything anyway
Love this stuff
So, what is “hidden”. This is nothing but a summary of their early life.
If you actually bothered to do your own research it is not actually a 'hidden truth.' Real knowledge comes from what you are willing to learn for yourself, not learning simply what you are taught.
@@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164 Marxists are well aware that Engels came from money.
And all knowledge is collective

You are just clumsily trying to redirect the audience's attention, but you don't even have enough imagination to make up any real and specific accusations about this film...
The inferior can attack the person, but not the ideas.
What Marx liked most was to attack those who came to him for the money they lent him...
And attacking his ideas in 2024 is complete stupidity. The previous hundred years and almost 100 million victims have shown how deplorable the consequences are for people seduced by writings of this charlatan.
Engels wife was irish, she was aware he and marx were looking for old pre property texts. She directed them to jerimiah o'donovan rosa, as he had knowledge of the breton laws. Engels learnt irish to study the pre property texts!
It’s sad that on a college campus today a right leaning libertarian and a conservative are seen as racist mad men, while a radical Marxist who makes everything about race is seen as a model citizen. I’m currently attending a UC and feel like I’d be shunned if people found out I was a right leaning libertarian.
Just be a kind person

As I grew up in a communist country, I know how such state behemoths worked, as soon as the market opened after 1990, they all collapsed because neither the quality nor the price was competitive with what private entrepreneurs offered!
The privatists took products from state factories and melted them in hand-made molds into things that people wanted to buy... and for communist factories this was an impossible job and there was always a shortage of everything(even toilet paper).
Every year, when the haymaking season was approaching, they announced on the radio and television that there is shortage of string to bind the bundles...
The jokes were:
Introduce socialism in the Sahara and within a year there will be problems with lack of sand!

All right folks we got to get the word out about Thomas Soul now
Sowell, even though it's pronounced "soul". Spelling's essential for searching.
Yeah, what a brilliant man.
What is “hidden” about any of this? The authorship and evolution of the communist manifesto as a historical and political document is discussed in great detail in many modern prefaces to the manifesto. What is Thomas Sowell’s area of expertise anyways? It’s quite hard to tell.
i always thought it was fumy how Engals never gets any credit for the development of the communist manifesto he was to Marx what Jung was to freud
@JAMWITCH666 LOW iQ PEOPLE SELDOM DO. The book? Thats farce and an obvious fallacy. A manifesto is a written declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party, or government. Thats like calling a single issue of Popular Mechanics a Book.. Move along Son ..no time for beating dead horses and numbskulls
@JAMWITCH666Yeah but most people associate it just with Marx
I continue to say that mad people should not have a lot of money. Why didn’t Engels just use his money to help the poor instead of using it to financially support Marx? They just continued to live high off the hog and criticize others.
Thank you again
Mr. Sowell seems to be guided, at best, by an empirical and solipsistic vision. His work as a ‘Marxist’ is quite overshadowed by a lifetime of work on behalf of conservative think tanks at elite universities and on behalf of the US government itself. But for an ambitious man like Sowell, this was clearly the right career path to follow.
What you are saying is nonsense!
@@6699230 By all means, expand.
Yes, it's a great pity that instead of making things up like the rest of the left-wing writers, he decided to write the truth for a change... What a loss for the 100 million victims of communism in the last hundred years of testing the ideas of the two men mentioned in the film!
Engels provided Marx with surplus-value so he could work on his _Das Kapital; The Ptolemaic Model of Economics, vol. 1,_ a treatise on how to blame the other guy for what you're doing yourself, and, _Das Ad Hoc: From Platonic Forms to the Real World, vol. 2, 3, 4._ Since nothing made sense in vol. 1.
Surplus-value is the time workers must work for free in order for the state to have an income, often called taxes, and from here, the intellectuals hope that some of that will trickle down on them so they can avoid working on the assembly line, and instead walk through university hallways, carrying coffee cups, and ponder very deep, but utterly useless think thoughts. Think thoughts that are wrapped in and expressed in pompous and poetic epigrams, while their clothing is meant to show how proletarian they are.
As one can see, these intellectuals are in favor of "trickle-down economics" and "surplus-value"
Well Said indeed

wtf are you talking about
Too bad Engels did not visit Ireland in 1847.
"Marx tried to encapsulate his writings in cliches that continued to obscure more than they reveal."
That applies to Hegel x 100.
Marx and Engels go on to somehow inspire feminists, large numbers of Jews and people of African ancestry, workers, and intellectuals. Also Marx and Engels: hates or disrespects women, Jews, and "negros". Neither ever seriously labored in any way and went on to keep countless workers impoverished in every way, and neither were particularly notable in scholarship, if educated at all and furthermore, intellectuals were to be systematically persecuted under communist regimes. The cognitive dissonance required to buy into the hypocrisy and nonsense spewed by these two is truly incredible. FAIL!
Karl Marx was jewish......and why not.......
What how did Marx & earls hate
& disrespect women?? Marx had
a Jewish wife.
@@elongatedmanforever1252 read about Marx's life and how he treated his wife, his daughters, and his maid/ mistress. Marx definitely wasn't a feminist lol

Engles descriptions of Manchester are superb. All his factual descriptions are essential reading for anyone interested in our history. When he moves on to predictions he, like all forecasters commits folly.
There is a reason why it is best to have more than one witness in court... because even without mixing into it ideologies, it often happens that the police question 4 witnesses and they give 3 versions of events!
As for the predictions, ofc what was the most important was his faithideology, not the facts or their logical combination into conclusions.
Moreover, it is clear from the letters between these two ideologists that they had no moral objections to bending the truth in the name of "communism", and this is how the entire USSR functioned! According to official data, the development was going even better than in the assumptions of the five-year plan, but in reality, in a country full of wonderful land for cultivation, people were often dying of hunger!
Thx for this.
I was flabbergasted at the horrible attitude towards women of both Engels and Marx.
I guess that is my mistake. I should have known better.
Good, strong men are never womanizers.
@@Adrian_Estando Are you sure?
@@omodiagbedominicedeoghon4607 - I’m convinced definitions are important. I meant “good” and “strong”, as such.🙂
Karl marx loved his wife dearly and Engels was in a relationship with an Irish woman in a time when Irish were hated
@@gizmotv9320 Praise the Lord. At last someone who knows something about the subject.
to all you geniuses saying but “he didn’t improve the conditions for his own workers!” He could not because 1) engles father owned the cotton mill and didn’t care about the workers conditions 2) had he been able to better conditions for the workers the mill would have not kept up with competition financially and then he wouldn’t have been able to support marx financially. This is the main marxian criticism of capitalism it encourages anti-social greed. Marx and engels were not above the system of which we all live in they were regular humans trying their best they just had the minds to see how the system was wrong. I encourage everyone to read engels.
This is more what Kaczynski talked about in anti-tech revolution in how technology and oversocialization push people to act, which is why regardless of how one feels about capitalism it doesn’t matter without address technology and how it impedes our natural power-process.
For 50 years of testing communism in Poland, it was mainly 50 years of making excuses and blaming society or imaginary counter-revolutionaries!
There were so many revolutionaries without education, money or influential family..
And here you are, the owner's son and the poor guy could do nothing except criticize and drink the profits from what he himself called exploitation...

He was the archetypial champagne socialist. Very well educated, lived an intellectual life, without any of that grubby labour, who lived off the work of others. Why do you think so many women are socialists?
Socialism makes emotional ploy to caretaking. It's a con, but one women are particularly vulnerable to.
Is that a joke
Not really. He was also a general that lead the workers in Germany during the uprising
Why do you think so many women flocked around him? Why are you even bothering to watch this when you know so little and haven't bothered to educate yourself?
Women who become socialists do so for the same reason as men, to change society for the better by making it fairer and more co operative. He did live a privileged life but used his money to fianance causes he believed in
Did not the Democracy of the Slave owners in Greece precede the Democracy of the Capitalist? Were the slave owners bad for their ideas involving land, math, geometre and science. Should we try and tear them down having their slaves work for them instead of eating them like what we did to each other before agricultural slavery? Sowell left poverty to become one of the anointed.
The capitalistic society we have in America is not and has never been a democracy, we are a constitutional republic, anyone claiming we’re a democracy is operating in bad faith and should be ignored
@@Insomble Call it what you like it. The politicians call it a democracy because otherwise would you call it a dictatorship? A Marxist might refer to it a a Bourgeois democracy to signify it is the dictatorship of capital. Its Senate is based upon land like the house of Lords and its representatives on the population with the voters limited to male property owners. Just like England the franchise was eventually extended to almost the whole population. They chief advantage of a constitution is that it is more difficult for a literate population to be taken advantage of. A republic mere signifies a government without a King as in the Roman Republic which had a Constitution. So a Constitutional Republic is actually partially redundant. As the Constitution dictates the rules rather than the king.
Very well said

I tend to think that life was harder then, but I still can't let go of the fact that Karl Marx let a multiple of his children die to starvation. Meanwhile he was celebrating his so called achievements through alcoholism and high society.
no children died of starvation. Engels made sure of that! Why don't you acquire a minimum of education before wasting your time like this? You might even find it vastly more interesting and shocking than the fantasies of your own yet unexpanded mind.
He didn't let his kids die, they died due to ill health and not starvation and he didn't celebrate anything as he lived in serve poverty so was unable to live any high life as any money he did have went towards making sure his kids were happy
Karl Marx an alcoholics? His father was a Jewish. Rabbi in Trier. Roman founded town I. Germany. I cannot believe that....
@@gizmotv9320 More blatant lies from you... what a surprise!
He and his wife came from the upper class, they constantly received money from wealthy family and friends or inherited it!
And during this time, children were dying from diseases related to malnutrition!
And he also had maids... and he didn't pay the most faithful one for a long time, but instead he gave her a child, whom he later ordered to give to a poor family to raise!
@Bialy_1 nothing I've said is a lie. Engels helped them out till marx recieved an inheritance after a family member died. Child death was unfortunately common back then. Wether you had a job or not
Engels wasn't running a Potemkin business in Manchester. His company has to make a real profit, in a competitive market, from which Engels could draw his income.
The entire history of communism, from its beginning to its end, is a history of excuses!
Neither Engels nor Makrs had to live like upper class to publish these madbooks... and if they had engaged in honest work, there would have been 100 million fewer victims of communism in the 20th century!
Isn’t it funny how people who have negative consequences in history either come from England or flee to England.
Ayatollah Khomenei
Karl Marx
Friedrich Engels
There is evidence that Engels became an agent of the British Secret service during his initial stay in England and was employed by the organization to “feed” ideas to Marx which they wanted him to publish under his name, thinking it was his idea. These ideas were a tool of intelligence warfare against any state that tried to improve or modernize its manufacturing as the British upper class, which owned the factories in England would not tolerate the competition.
Marx was their unwitting tool, and Engels the funnel thru which they poured into Marx whatever they needed him to write. He was Marx’s intelligence service handler just like Colonel House was the handler for US President Woodrow Wilson.
This is why Marx and Engels were safe in England.

Good intentions? They were advocating for people that the knew nothing about. These guys were layabouts and playboys. What did they really care about the poor? I suspect their motvations 100%...
What's evil about wanting to abolish child labour? Or advocating for workers owning the means of their production? Or the proletariat voting in delegates to represent their chosen constituencies that could be held to recall if attempt to exploit their power?
@@gizmotv9320 "Or the proletariat voting in delegates to represent their chosen constituencies" hehe every single comment from you must to have in it some huge lie...
Marx wanted them to choose him, not some of their delegates, and it is beautifully presented in stories in other videos on this channel.
How he brought down the entire First International just to prevent someone else from taking it over!
If he didn't pay his maid for her work, it was justified, but in his texts he criticized others that business owners didn't pay enough...
On the one hand, it didn't bother him that his own children were starving, because at that time he went to places where he drank, smoked expensive cigars and hit on women, and on the other hand, his followers tell us that he was worried about child labor...
Maybe if there were fewer adult parasites like him, more money would be left for hungry children and they wouldn't have to go to work...
If Engels had come under more constructive philosophical influences in his youth, he might have integrated his philosophical ability with his competency as a businessman and an investor, and he could have wound up sounding like a Steampunk version of Ayn Rand.

Communism is one of the great evils to arise from mankind but I do wonder if Marx and Engels could see what became of Communism what they would have thought and changed. I somehow don't think they be particularly proud. Would they have been happy with how Stalin used them?
They penned the philosophy of plunder, and passed it for the keys to utopia. Men such as they deserve nothing but ire and damnation from their fellow Man.
