Just to reiterate though, labour isn't the source of Value. He does specify around 1:00 that Labour adds Value, but doesn't create Value. I see people learning Marxism assume that all Value is created by Labour, but it is not. All things have an inherent value, nature itself provides its own Value to not just humans, but other species across ecosystems. But as a species that has the unique ability to transform natural resources into whatever we desire for our needs and wants, it is our job as humans to use our labour to produce enough necessities for ourselves to sustain ourselves for as long as we can, at the same to sustain the land and treat it as if we treat our communities, our friends and families. Nature doesn't owe us anything, but we owe nature everything and we shouldn't exist to conquer it. We are as rooted with nature as a tree is rooted to the land. We persist within it, but we are as capable in destroying it, in tandem, we are capable in destroying ourselves.

lol 😂, not calculating for marketing, transport, location cost, tax, cost of person managing cause that worker is a slacker, etc, no kidding the laborer get paid less than it’s worth cause there are other costs that go in it. . And the laborer gets his worth, just that the employer passes the increase in manufacturing cost on to the buyer, not necessarily subtracting from the laborer.

I hate communists

i was looking for alienation as the taking of property,Alienation,residents are aliens so they are alienating all residents. yo

The author of the video in 23 minutes never mentioned that Russia has, if not identical groups, then even worse ones, with youth training, a war cult, and the idea that all this is for the 'Rus' and is necessary. Regarding decommunization, in Ukraine, there is one good thought: never try to argue with people who idolize the Soviet Union but never lived there, and never ask them when World War II started, because the answer will always be not 1939, but 1941.

From 10 to 20 minutes, the video author tries by all means to prove that decommunization is bad (considering the name of his channel and the Marxism of his core, what else would you expect?). Spitting on the history of my people, on the fact that the USSR was literally a torture chamber for nations, and despite the fact that this group has not existed for more than 30 years, every Russian still shows this devotion to torture and abuse. In their minds, there is no shortage of goods, no memory of the times when the West had to supply provisions and aid in the form of 'Bush legs' so people wouldn't just starve to death. In their completely distorted consciousness, there are memories of ice cream, sausage for 2 rubles, ice cream 'plombir,' miraculous GOST standards of quality, and Pioneers, but no memories of dissidents shot in the 60s, no recollections of the Holodomor of the 30s, no memories of the torture chambers called the GULAG, and the exiles to Siberia. There are no memories of the mass resettlements of people and the settlement of territories with their own citizens, which contributed to cultural appropriation. No recollection of the destruction of language as an element of identity. Why would a Marxist recall this when he can simply say - they are all Nazis and right-wing radicals anyway. But three years of full-scale war have passed, we see 500,000 losses, wounded and killed on the Russian side, bloody battles for cities that are not taken but destroyed. The cult of war in Russia itself, with its constant memories of World War II and slogans like 'We can do it again,' while the entire civilized world has the slogan 'Never Again,' is a vivid example of the difference and absurdity of the 23-minute manipulative video aimed at people as far removed from context as possible, just to sow the idea that Russia has some right to invade a sovereign country, to kill civilians, and to commit war crimes. As soon as the topic of Russian crimes arises, any representative of this empire can recount the history of US wars, European countries, sometimes even the Far and Near East, just to avoid the topic of why they allowed themselves to start a war, because their methodology voiced to anyone who is even slightly in context of what is happening will not only be laughable, it will be pathetic.

HAHAHA 6:53 Ukraine for the West is a means of achieving interests. I will skip the manipulation of choosing the most convenient and more or less well-known Per Anders Rudling with his criticism of the OUN and his works on this topic. The author also touched on the topic of the interaction between the OUN and Poland but somehow omitted the biggest critic of the OUN from the Polish side, namely Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe, whose works are aimed at criticizing this movement and the relations of that period. However, even such a critic of Ukrainian nationalists as Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe did not allow himself to freely use the terms Nazism and Fascism towards them, focusing and studying directly the issue of the Volhynia massacre. Ten years of hybrid war between Ukraine and Russia have passed, almost three of which have been full-scale and the largest in Europe since World War II. What is the result? The rhetoric went from 'we want to prevent NATO expansion' (Finland and Sweden are joining NATO - to which Putin directly said: well, let them, it’s their choice in his interview). Then the rhetoric was the protection of Donbas and Luhansk - as a result, now there are hundreds of times more attacks per day than in the years before 2022 - and here the 'great' geopolitician messed up. The next idea was denazification and demilitarization - this also failed because no government official inside could have united Ukraine around a common idea of resistance as the enemy in the face of Russia did. And in general, by violating security guarantees and starting a full-scale invasion of a sovereign state in 2022 without declaring war, disregarding all norms of international law since 2014, any Russian (including the author of the video, which I have no doubt) has no right to criticize the policy and hierarchy aimed at destroying every invader who crossed the border in any way, be it a knife, a gun, a guided bomb, or a drone. Anyone who came to this land with the intention of seizing it must be killed. Anyone who committed numerous war crimes on this territory and returned to Russia must be held accountable according to all norms of international law.

At 3:11, like a true Russian, the author could not avoid the figure of Bandera. Most of them are afraid of him, but if you put up two portraits of Bandera and Putin, half of them will not be able to say who is who. Again, manipulation of history to fit the video's theme just to express concern and present the idea that in 40 seconds, the author cannot tell you the history of a multi-million country, but you just believe me and take the author's words as truth: Bandera is scary, all liberation movements aimed at state sovereignty are always bad. The far-right in Ukraine have always been like masons and influenced the political system and course of the state. HAHAHA, do you find it funny too? If not, that's bad, because this is such a hyperbolized manual of modern Russians that even they have stopped throwing it into the information field simply because only a person who knows absolutely nothing about the history of Ukraine and has no acquaintances here could be misled by it. All the books they have read were published before the 1960s in the USSR. Considering the author's channel is literally called Marxism-Project, it's not surprising.

02:20 Secret pressure on the political opposition from the 'absolutely honest and incorruptible opinion of the video author' is pressure on the pro-Russian party OPZZH, whose leader Medvedchuk is Putin's godfather. Putin quickly exchanged him for the fighters of the National Guard and the Armed Forces of Ukraine (interesting why so?). Meanwhile, in our captivity, under the supervision of the Red Cross and in compliance with all Geneva Conventions, hundreds of captured Russian soldiers are being held (for example, many of these prisoners gave dozens of interviews on the ZOLKIN channel with their consent). They have not been exchanged for over 2 years because they are not needed by the Russian Empire. Two minutes into the video, the author follows the Russian manual as closely as possible, trying to portray himself simply as an observer and a messiah bringing the truth to the English-speaking world. However, unfortunately, in these two minutes, the author could not even allocate 5 seconds to objectively assess any of the mentioned facts."

At the moment when the author points out that 'the Kremlin indicated the presence of far-right ideas and ideologies in the political elite,' it is a charade and wishful thinking, since the problem in my country is that at all times we have had presidents and those in power who were not nationalists, but dressed-up clowns, businessmen, beekeepers, and state traitors who were engaged in the destruction of the army (quite unusual for a 'fascist country' to destroy the main element of dictatorship and implementation of ambitions, isn't it?). Three years into the video, we see a vivid example of psychological operations and attempts to discredit Ukraine on the world stage, but three years have passed, and the Azov Regiment, which the author vividly and tirelessly inserts as an example of 'Nazism' in Ukraine, after numerous checks by the slow-paced West, was recognized as legitimate. No signs were found, and approval was given for the use of Western weapons and training. Wouldn't the author now say that the whole world has become Nazi, from the USA to Japan, which officially apologized regarding the situation with Azov?

Well, the first minute of the video and the quote 'considering the formation of numerous fascist and neo-Nazi militarized formations at the beginning' the author manipulates the facts by showing the Azov SSO Volunteer Corps as an example, whose ideology from the beginning and to this day has been nationalist. The manipulation of facts by Russia and pro-Russian media and funds has damaged its reputation on the world stage. However, this is the elite force of my country, and studying their ideas, ideology, and works on which their worldview is based, I can say that this is traditionalist nationalism with the basic slogan 'GOD! UKRAINE! FREEDOM!' All criticism and association with Nazism up to 2022 were largely based on the use by some fighters of symbols such as 'the Adam's head - which also has a Christian meaning.' The crosses on the equipment have a long history dating back to the time of Constantine the Great (306-337 years) and symbolize the sign of victory. The Balkenkreuz also has a history dating back to the Cossacks and ancient orders and crusades. The Black Sun also has a much older history than 80 years.

I don’t know how surplus value would work as there is no definitive price to labour? the value of labor is subjective. There is no set objective "amount that they produce." A worker in a mine is not solely responsible for production. He isn't financing the operation. He didn't bring the equipment. He didn't transport it. He didn't refine it or market it. several people went into producing x thing. please explain.

This were the first guys who died in the war

I’m sure they never heard of anti Slavic racism, I’m glad people are starting to notice this.

Cope.

Oh totally not the Soviet unions fault it is pure coincidence that famines follow communist and solicaist systems like in the USSR, the DPRK, the CCP, Zimbabwe, and now Venezuela. Seriously how much mental hoops do you need to go through in order to realize that giving the government power over everything never ends well for the people…. Oh wait I forgot that isn’t something you think of because so many communists are arrogant enough to think they would be the noble leader of their free and honest system. I would say ask all of Stalin, Mao, Kim, or Putin’s rivals how that went but you can’t because they are all mysteriously dead…..

Nazis in ukraine are not an excuse for putin to start the war. It should have been the job of the Ukrainian government themselves to combat Nazism in the country. Even within Ukraine, stepan bandera is controversial especially to those who know better. Nor is it an excuse for president Zelensky to solidarity with Israel when his country is going through what Palestine is going through.

Don't forget though, the Labour that gives Commodities their value does not mean that Value itself is only brought out through Labour. Nature itself holds Value with no Labour involved. Good example is fresh water. There is no labour put into a river by human hands, there is no labour to create the water within a river, but the fresh water contained in the river is already there due to the function of nature itself, water itself is valuable to all species because water is a necessity that keeps us alive. No Labour went into water, but it still holds value to all life. Again, there could be labour to create the tools and containers to contain that water, but the tools created to create, to purify, to clean, to contain the water is a separate value given to the tools themselves rather than the intrinsic value water has.

Question: If I work for a company in the global North & they year on year refuse to put my salary up in line with inflation such that I end up living on savings to at least in part pay my monthly bills, am I being super-exploited, or just plain old exploited?

Love your videos marxist project❤

So to sum it all up: "Jews".

Bravo comrade! 👏 I'm delighted to see that these ambitious proposals are receiving attention. Let us hope that in the future, when the next communist parties take state power, such extensive projects for the automation of economic planning will be able to mature and develop on more fertile soil, and the dream of achieving communism will be achieved throught the world without making concessions to liberal economic ideas.

Yeltsin did not win because of the United States; he won because the Russian people wanted freedom from communist tyranny, and Yeltsin, despite being a horrible person, was still the only viable non-comnunist candidate.

Very good video! Very good video.1:00:04 I don't agree with that argument. 1:00:40 And Marx never said that the revolution would necessarily have to begin in a developed country. He said that the revolution could start in any country, but it would not succeed if it did not reach the centrality of capital.

Empirical Proof of God's Existence: (1) 'True' entails a cognitive presence; (2) The laws of the universe were true before they were discovered by corporeal life; therefore... (3) The laws of the universe were true before corporeal life existed, identifying the existence of a non-corporeal entity that knew the laws were true. The proof that this pre-corporeal cognitive entity is God: The cognitive entity necessarily always knew the laws of the universe were true, where, therefore, thinking about the laws' integrity is absent, thereby identifying the omniscient being called God that does not think, it knows. The proof that there can be only one omniscient being: The concept of two, or more, omniscient beings is an oxymoron, since omniscience requires exclusivity...only one can be all-knowing; it's an oxymoron to have two or more who are all-knowing.

Russia is in no position to teach morals to other countries against far-right ideologies and neo-nazism. Russia is a far-right dictatorship. How cynical of you guys to promote this Kremlin propaganda.

So when my student tells me something that is factually wrong I should accept it as part of dialogue?

I smell propaganda.

The video fundamentally misunderstands idealism. It treats all forms of idealism as if they were subjective idealism, a specific type of philosophy akin to sollipsism and essentially represented by Berkeley. This mistake excludes a lot philosophers, from Plato and Aristotle to Descartes, Spinoza, Kant, and Hegel, who would all be considered idealists but not subjective idealists. They believed in the existence of reality beyond individual perception Ontological idealism proposes that the fundamental nature of existence is shaped by non-material rational principles to which matter is subjugated. These rational principles would provide the order to the world we experience. Epistemological idealism would entail that cognition is fundamentally shaped by rational principles within the mind that organize perception into understanding (Meaning things like causality, space, time, being... are the tools of the mind to paint it's canvas of the world). Political idealism I guess would posit that ideal principles guide social, political, historical... events and relations. By giving a flawed account of this the video misinforms the audience, it does not address the topic of marxist materialism VS idealism, and it's later jump towards the (insufficient and intellectually disingenuous) definition of political idealism and arguments that could be categorized as such, seems as non-sequitur.

Your labor is only valuable if the product you produce has value.

Womp womp

Long live the Luhansk People's Republic and the Donetsk People's Republic!

One example is EV vs. public transport: Under capitalism it's much more profitable if everyone buys their own electric vehicle. But the way more ecologic option would be public transport, a couple rentable cars, and bicycles. Another is longevity: Under capitalism it's beneficial if products die after a few years, and replacements are bought. A planned economy could design products with max. longevity in mind, so that eg. one vacuum cleaner could pass through generations.

Thanks to Biden and Obama

Hey! Thanks for a great video. I have one point to make though as stating that Belarusian is doing well was a heavy overstatement. I would even go so far as to say that at this point I am more confident in my English let alone Russian than my first(allegedly) native language - Belarusian. I would say that around 85% of people here use Belarusian either to show off or as part of their school/university programs. It is all unfortunate of course but true nevertheless.

Old people often feel nostalgic about the world they grew up in, but for old russians this feeling must be extreme..

It's interesting to compare old US movies to new ones. In old ones the KGB and soviet communists tended to be the villains, whereas in new ones it's the russian oligarchy (ie. capitalists). But to me it seems they still had more respect for the old soviets than for the new russian oligrachy.

The most frustrating about this is how the result of so much struggle could be dissolved so quickly. It took a revolution against the tsar-empire, a fight against nazi-germany, a subsequent cold-war to build and sustain this union, and just a few years of mismanagement and reappearance of nationalism to end it. The soviet-union might not have been perfect by any means, but they were a large entity that offered an alternative to the capitalist mode of production. Now in it's place there's just another empire with a fascist leader.

😂 Nazis are not far right! They’re still far left! Cousins of communists! There’s no way you can call fascism right wing !!!!

very well done, this is a very goood intro, good graph, and data to study this concept. If people can add CC in this video (or the entire series), this will be revolutionary for all people arround the world to learn nore about marxism. Cheerzz from Indonesia.

Wow dog water. Carring water for a dictator, love it.

Alot of young boys think they know what they're talking about in the comments section.. Do you have any idea what a nazi is??

Patrick Lancaster's channel has great content regarding the atrocities of these far right militia's targeting civilians of the Donbass.Watching his live reporting from pre Russian invasion gives alot of clarity to why Putin invaded and intervened claiming he is denazifying and demilitarizing the country of Ukraine

Idealism is stupid, one cannot simply defy the laws of physics. It's just that humans have free will/ego, God or whoever created us gave us the free will to choose.

The problem with the Nazis* is a video made by who ? The Marxist Projet? 😂 You have to be Marxist ideology ir be stupid to not see this 😂 now.. if you have 30 min in your life you can start reading WHY you don't see this and start thinking just like someone else say hahaha.. or maybe you're just another NPC* or a good sheep 😂 👌

The kremlin gives a fuck about none of this because they'll send rusich and russian imperial movements to the front lines to 'denazify' Ukraine but its really just a bunch of nihilistic oligarchs who need to conquer more territory to become stronger

15:06 I would like to add that around those years, most paint still had lead, so, I guess it was unexpectedly better to not paint them.

In Capital, Marx begins his analysis with an already existing capitalist economy. Marx can't explain how the capitalist economy came into existence because such an economy couldn't come into existence according to Marx's peculiar analysis of the capitalist economy where surplus-value created capital must first exist, but since surplus-value doesn't exist yet, there can be no capital to begin the capitalist economy. To overcome this inherent contradiction in Marx's "investigation", he begins Capital where we find an already existing capitalist economy: “The wealth of those societies in which the capitalist mode of production prevails, presents itself as “an immense accumulation of commodities," its unit being a single commodity. Our investigation must therefore begin with the analysis of a commodity.” The "investigation" needs to begin with how the commodities came into existence, that is how the capitalist economy came into existence, an oversight necessitated by a fraud. Let's see if we can commence the Capitalist economy using the following Marxist tautology, "Hitherto we have investigated how surplus-value emanates from capital; we have now to see how capital arises from surplus-value.":* (1) What do we need to initiate the Capitalist economy? Capital, of course. (2) So let's get some capital...where is this capital, according to Marx? (3) We get capital from surplus value, Marx tells us, "capital arises from surplus-value." (4) Okay, so let's get some surplus value to get capital. Where can we find surplus value, according to Marx? (5) "Surplus value emanates from capital", Marx's tautologically informs us! ------------------------- * Capital, Chapter 24, first sentence (1867)

Wow imagine a centrally planned economy now with the AI revolution going on.💀
