"The people who are the most anti-communism in America are people who left communist countries". This statement is very powerful.
That’s very true, my parents fled Ukraine about the time the union fell apart and let me tell you, those people in power of the communist party are so evil, full of greed, they stole billions of $ from people all over Ukraine including my own parents, and I’m thankful to this day that I, myself live in America.

And very correct. I know people from Venezula, Russia, China, Moldova, North Korea, and Nigeria. They are all strongly anti communist. Honestly, we should have an exchange program: those who think socialism is good can trade citizenships with any North Koreans that would prefer to live here.
I was born and grew up in Soviet Union. Americans don't know how good they have it! No sane person (unless on the top of power) would enjoy living in a communist country.
Young Leftists reading the Communist Manifesto and Mao’s Little Red Book: *This is wonderful*
People in who were born in China, Soviet Union, Poland, Romania, Cuba, Vietnam or Cambodia: *ARE YOU NUTS?!*
thats true.I am in China, and i cant express the absurdity i feel when i watch American college leftists😅
No I am born under system that is evil. It is called capitalism! 3,4 billion people killed by that system!
And North Korea
No we are sane! In contrast to you I was in East Germany twice and in Czechoslovakia twice.
Capitalism is simply evil and the deadliest system in history! Look at Rwanda? How can you support capitalism? Look at USA with 7 million killed around the world. More people killed than in all gulags. Look at capitalism in Kongo with king Leopold with 10-20 million murdered.

But, do you want to live there? 🤔
That’s no excuse LOL, in fact, Cuba still freely trades with some of the richest nations in the world (hell the US is one of Cuba’s biggest trade partners), do some goddamn research. The only thing the “embargo” restricts are US citizens establishing official businesses in Cuba and that’s it.

If this is in fact true, then aren't we already fascist? While we fight communism, do we ignore the growth of corporate fascism?
"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power."- Benito Mussolini
@@rtorres4132 I am a firm believer that all public-private "partnerships" must be abolished in this country if we are to survive. The Founding Fathers never intended for private businesses to get into corrupt beds with the government.
Believe it....as he said..."people who are born on third base and think they hit a triple". People whose parents did a less-than-effective job of running their own lives and passed that sub-talent trait down to their offspring.
So hard to understand why some people who live here can't make the most efficient living system work for them. In their embarrassment, I guess the only thing they have left to do is to cry about what they couldn't accomplish and support something else.
@@marciadiehl5733 - I get that, but what's the point of screaming from the top of your lungs about Communism? Meanwhile, for decades past and in the future, fascism (if Mussolini's quote is right) will keep growing and growing in the USA? The FBI will stop communist like they have before. But they won't stop corporate fascism.

Thanks in part to the people who were notoriously evil in history trying so hard to rewrite it
Liberals want to erase history for these reasons
Anybody with real life experience of Communism knows its dangers. And even if you have only heard about it from family and friends you should
be against it forever. Communism won´t work because not everyone will be behind the system and that communism can never tolerate unlike
a free society where idiots like the communists are free to follow their idiotic ideology.
What good is your health system if people can't afford health care insurance? And even if you can afford the insurance, they still have a right to deny your claim. What good is finally being able to buy a home but still have to pay property tax? kinda sounds like you never really own the land right? what good is it to bust your butt off of work and get half of your money taken away and never have a say on how its spent. Sounds like modern day communism to me.

The communist movement should be working class, not bourgeois. Do not let the bourgeoise offer us concessions; they are only delaying the inevitable. Change will not come from above. Of course I am not discrediting the contributions of so-called 'class traitors like Trotsky and Engels, but be very careful with who you allow to participate, especially with widespread C.I.A. infiltration.

@Phoenix Stars I agree with your statement regarding the cancer treatment being suppressed. Greed is a horrible con with the system. But please explain to me how electric cars would help stop pollution and be more clean and effective when a majority of America’s electricity comes from coal?
@Phoenix Stars Also, you must realize the heat used by people in Texas during that time was a HELL of a lot more than any other time of year. It’s not normal for that area of the country to get that cold and use that much hear in a short amount of time, so yeah, it’s expected for the bill to be pretty damn high. The money paid from those bills are paid to the workers who run the facilities that produce the heat for homes and to also pay for the resources needed to give that much heat at once.
I live in Texas and slept through the freeze, woke up next morning and it was 50 degrees indoors. Kinda sucked but we weren’t expecting the outside temp to drop that damn much. We used a crap ton of heat to stay warm and as expected, the bill was high. Took us a month and a half to pay off as we are working class, but that’s life. Shit gets thrown at you and you deal with it.
Disappointing, to say the least. I was expecting something of substance from Ben Shapiro, but instead I get hit with whataboutism, pandering, and high and mighty egoism. Nothing was addressed or discussed, instead Ben used it as a platform to boost his own ego and to try and shame someone for supporting Communism, rather than persuading them in any meaningful way. Very lacking in intellectual discussion and about as intelligent as the average discussion at a pub
No. No I am not going to america where guns are hailed and education is a misery. We can live longer than 80 years and make those 80 years actually worth living. If the only reason I get to live 80 years is because I am a wage slave then I wasn't really living anyways
"People who were born on third base and think they hit a triple" good analogy, the moment I thumb up.
as a cuban exactly how i feel. when i first ate mcdonalds i thought it was the best thing in the entire world. little things americans take for granted like A/C is pure luxury in cuba. communism is just a bunch of people making money off the people.
@@presidential3228 Yes, the idea of communism is of course very good, to share the fruits of production. The problem is that since everyone is supposed to be paid the same very few will actually do the work, and production will be VERY low, wel that's just one of the problems...!
@@truxton1000 Not only that but communism wont get out inventions and invent new things, advance your country and humanity. capitalism does that, the problem its not for advancements or for the good of humanity, its simply for profits. thats the downfall to capitalism EVERYTHING is about money. literally everything gets turned into a business, even education smh. i hope one day we figure things out.
@@presidential3228 Well that's why we need a mix. We need capitalism to create the surplus of money, goods and services, then we need social mechanisms to be able to iron out some of the differences between the strong and the weak people. As no society want the weakest and poorest to suffer through life, so the goal is to give everyone as much dignity as possible. In my opinion education, health, safety (police and military) most infrastructure, and some housing should be covered by the public sector. This is not only desirable from a social point of view, but also from the view of efficiency. Still I think that no one should pay more than 50% tax in total on their income no matter how much they earn. Also I do not believe in taxing assets that you have earned with honest hard work. I believe that humans are very different in IQ and abilities, to deny the best of us to shine is a mistake. Capitalism with it's focus on supply and demand is the driving force in the economy, as it has been for thousands of years, communism tried to stop it and it was a total disaster. Anyway, the first thing you should teach your children is that life is not "fair", it's not supposed to be, the sooner people learn that the happier they will be.

'8 decades or health, wealth and ease' that statement is definitely relatable to Europeans but many americans would say that it's the opposite of the situation in the US. Any accident or health issue would result in a huge debt and you can't get a high paying job without spending a huge sum for university. In the UK etc there are paid apprenticeships etc which are widely available as an alternative to university and healthcare is free and in parts of the UK university is free

Ever notice socialists and communists saying they want "fairness and equalness for all" but actually are drooling over the idea of getting stuff someone else earned? That's the height of greed masquerading as a hate for greed.
Stalin was very good at espousing that "theory", so to ensure that the people in Ukraine< Chechnya and areas around there, during the 1930's, where exterminated, because they "failed to grasp the concept of Socialism/communism" , and continued that "process" when the Russian troops pushed the German Army of those territory's, on the basis that they had been "co-operating with the Germans". That is why the Ukraine & Chechnya are a "pain in the arse" to Russia today.

Do WE need to explain why capitalism is evil? They caused the biggest depopulation (genocide) in human history in my country.
As for the deaths constantly quoted under Mao, the exaggerate claims of deaths from starvation were not increased but decreased from the deaths *before* Mao’s reforms owing to Western imperialist interference with China prior to 1950. Look up life expectancy data from 1950 to 1970, and multiply that through the large population. Mao brought live expectancy from 45 to 70 over his career, literacy from 10% to 80%. I sympathize with you as I used to have similar notion but after a lot of work realized I was completely brainwashed within Australia. Upon a lot of research it turns out that Mao did exceedingly more for the people of China than he caused problems and without Mao and their liberation of China from capitalists in the early 1950s, the whole county of China would have followed a path similar to India or Indonesia which both had a similar (even slightly better) initial conditions. Now China has eliminated poverty and has far better health care, higher literacy, economic mobility and business than India or Indonesia and is even catching up to the West which it was exceedingly behind in 1950s when Britain was still bribing and calling the shots over there.
Sorry but he didn't say anything about communism / socialism, just that America is a good country to live in, better then third world country and also many soviets emigrated to America. This didn’t match the title of the video, he didn’t offer any critique on the subject matter.

“It killed 100 million people” well with my calculations it actually killed 204.5 million people including Stalin’s 40 million people, maos 120 million people the Kim’s 3.5 million people and Lennins 3.5 million people not including the civil war, and since the Soviet’s helped start ww2 by also invading Poland I’ll count 37.5 million people to the communists.

1. " Move to CUba and then tell me how wonderful is the regime there.. " Socialist would reply.. move to Mexico city or to Haiti and you will see how wonderful capitalism..is.
2. By all international scientific measurements Cuban health care system is one of the best in the world...
3. I m sure people who were born in poor african countries will find Cuba wonderful too... No so much freedom which they did not have anyway since african countries have corrupted dictatorships but they will not be dying by diseases etc
Your speaking shit. I have two friends that are brothers, from cuba, they tell me stories about how terrible it was. They’re mom had to phds (that she earned in America), in cuba she was being paid $2 a month. The healthcare is awful, it’s a lie spread by the cuban government. You can’t trust socialist or communist countries because all they do is lie.
Oh, this brings me to the insight why socialism is probably attractive in certain places. A corrupt, stealing regime with much inequity is of course not attractive for the mass of ordinary people. If they can, they will want a kind of government 'run by the people and for the people'. This might seem the better, more ethical alternative. To keep capitalism but bring in a wise and good government would be better perhaps.
@@jean-pierredevent970 But Why you think a private company run by a unaccountable board would be better than a self run democratically controlled enterprise ?
@@dsgio7254 My English is rarely clear., sorry I only mean that in hypothetical disaster countries where a corrupt government works together with big looting foreign companies and the people remain poor, the aim of "the revolution" could be to do it all themselves. They just saw what (failed) capitalism means. I agree that communism would disappoint too next. But the fight should not be against "the evil doctrine of communism" but rather against failing capitalism. Then there would be no desire for a revolution.

As someone living in Argentina, a poor country, I can confirm that I am very anti-communist. Socialism has ruined our country and I am very sad about it. We used to be a rich country in early 1900's
Your opinion is more important than any other thanks
Socialism is a big part of it, but didn’t the UK also stop investing in Argentina as well?
@@Nmjo32 Everyone stopped investing because we have the highest taxes in the world so it's impossible to make money, and if for some reason you still make money, the corrupt Social Justice Warrior politicians are going to steal your money from you.

You know it’s bad when you gotta explain why communism is bad...
you've never been on twitch, there's a guy on there that's a fat communist. now I know you probably think that he was of course laughed off of the discussion with no one taking him seriously because he's unironically a fat communist but....
He is for some reason taken seriously and people love communism there.🤦♂️ because of course they do.

@Wong Washer The 100+ million dead people might have something to tell you, if they were alive or that the liberties of many who were not dead were hampered or non-existened.

Also, on vietnam, at the time I think that Democrats were in power at least at first, it was by partisan thing, unfortunate one, but when faced with the deaths of american soldiers, since the Vietnamese were too good at guerilla warfire. And how is that because of capitalism that a government decided to do that on Vietnam? Capitalism is pretty much economic system, meanwhile communism is a political one as well as economic one. (There can be some argument that Capitalism is a little bit political, but at best that).
So, a Far-right wing totalitarian fascist government, which hasnt started to exterminate Jews until 1942, (Nazi Germany) is the same as capitalism for you? Something is wrong with you.
How is th invention of Nuclear Bombs because of Capitalism? Now, for them it was either many many dead US soldiers as well as Japanese or just Japanese and possibly a little bit less Japanese, since Emperor Hirohito had his "famous" decree that every man woman and kid should resist in some way. Lets not forget that the Soviets also were trying to invent the first nuclear bomb.
Now, go on and tell me that this was not true communism and that actually communism can be implemented in another better way and it for sure can work, as all the other commies and anarchists tell about their ideology.
If you are really a genuine person and not a bot or a troll, I feel bad that there are still people like you...

“You’re guaranteed health, wealth, and ease”
Capitalism does not guarantee wealth, and with the US’s lack of affordable/free healthcare and a living minimum wage, it does not guarantee health or ease. Benefits of a Capitalist society aren’t worthwhile if the majority of people don’t have reasonable access to them.
Im a millennial I see that a lot of millennials and gen z want socialism because of how the country is handed to them but look at Cuba , china brainwashes it's citizens or they disappear, the benefits sound great but people are by nature corrupt plus America has so many enemies that while this change is taking place what's to stop an enemy from attacking
As all the issues we have in our country are pretty weak right now millennials and gen z would get killed in a war we need to fight back against the government get the rich taxed, and get the swamp out of threre
My family is from Poland but I was lucky enough to be born an American. In 1982 or 83 after years of trying to obtain a travel visa to the United States and France, my young female cousins were finally able to visit from Poland. They weren’t allowed to travel to the same country so one came here and the other to France. Here I was a teenager thinking that she would want jeans, makeup, a Walkman, or hand held video games. Do you know what she wanted? The batteries from the game, ball point pens, lined paper and potato peelers!! Boxes of each! All the things we take for granted! She told me the Communist Party would just steal the jeans if she brought back those. They couldn’t go to church either. They would hold Catholic services at different houses each Sunday and on other Sunday’s they wouldn’t go at all just to throw off any suspension. It’s crazy and that’s not even the worst things they went through under a Communist regime!

Where is the evidence of so many victims of communism? Or maybe a better question is where all these stories come from? I agree that there were some specific camps for dissidents of the regime, but it was not millions of people in them but at most a few thousand! I am from the former communist state, which became capitalist, because wars, and I can tell you for sure that life was 100 times better during communism! We had far greater freedom, in all spheres of life! The only thing where we were not free was that no one was allowed to question the very principles of the communist system!
Give them a ticket to live in Korea. They'll ask, North or South? The answer, your choice.
South Korea isnt communist. Only North Korea. Otherwise theyd still be one country

Just like we need to explain that men are men and women are women. These logical ideas are considered controversial among some young people today

Capitalism isn't responsible for 100 millions innocent lives. Communism/socialism is since 1917.
To understand Marxism, you need fo understand Karl Marx's personal circumstances. Once you realise that Marx came from a middle class background, married an aristocrat, had several succesful capitalists as benefactors, and still managed to be so poor that four of his seven legitimate children died should tell you all you need to know about Marx as a person. No wonder two of his three surviving kids killed themselves later in life. Marxism is a complete failure.
Capitalism didn't kill as many people as communism did.

True communism is the abolishment of capitalism and this has never been tried. Also 3rd world nations dont count.

True communism is the abolishment of capitalism and this has never been tried. Also 3rd world nations dont count.
I often listen to Shapiro with interest, but then he made me laugh with the standard American argumentation. Like communism is bad, people died because of it. Is capitalism good, did people die because of it? Not? The Chinese were not killed, atomic bombs were not dropped on the peaceful cities of Japan? Did they not destroy Iraq because of a false pretext? Have the dark-skinned population been deprived of their rights? Have you shown aborigines in zoos?
And all this despite the fact that communism really did not exist in any country in the world. There were and are communist parties. And the countries - the USSR, China, Cuba - are socialist.
Ben is spot on as usual. We that live in the United States of America have no clue what it's like to beg for clean water to drink or what it's like to go to bed at night not knowing if we will get our door kicked in by the local government for no other reason than they have a bible in their home. We have no idea what it's like to watch our children starve because the government is power hungry and decides wether you eat or not.
A classic example of not being able to differentiate Communism from any random act of authoritarianism. You've never studied Communism.
that's probably a dictatorship not communis
All COMMIE BASTARDS that have power care about is OBTAINING MORE POWER!!! STALIN and CASTRO are BURNING IN HELL right now thanks to the MILLIONS of people they let die for the sake of gaining MORE POWER!!!

It requires force to get people to consistently act against their best interests. It’s the government boot on your neck to force you obey or die.

Not much of a debate.
watch him with Andrew Neil on the BBC then
I agree with Shapiro on the point that communism is trash but I disagree with Shapiro on the point that the USA guarantees an amazingly incredible life. It only guarantees that it will not put you under the same type of duress as a communist country. We still have one of the highest homeless rates in a developed country in the WORLD and one of the highest maternal MORTALITY rates of a developed country in the WORLD. Let’s be realistic and understand that while communism is actual a horrible trash fire, America has its fair share of issues that we can work to improve.
We do have a time machine. They are called history books.

Or what about, lift all economic sanctions on Cuba that keep it poor instead of blaming it on "evil communism".
I was waiting for an explanation, but Ben Shapiro didn't exlain what a stateless classless and moneyless society is.
Communism isn't wanting fairness, never was.
Communism is about a statless classless and moneyless society, which would be brought by democratizing the means of production.
For those wondering what democratizing the means of production means, it literaly means what it says. Have people vote in their own managers and CEOs, letting people have a more direct say in our economy.
