Apne sirf farmers k rujati hone pe bat ki but trotsky ne jo stalinist Beaurcracy ka btaya tha aur jok hua and usne ik internationalist slogan dya k ik connected world market me socialism in one country survive nai kar skta, apne uspe bat nai ki. I appreciate your work alot and respect u alot but u sounded a bit biased to me in this video. And also the wasn't support of peasantry for revolution in china laos cuba in favour of bourgeois reforms rather than a socialist one?
What a fantastic explanation of trotskyism. As a Conservative I have been educating myself in socialism to have a better understanding of why people with in Britain want to devalue and demolish the great work that Britain itself has had on our shores and the world. Britain does not need socialism it needs cohesion. All socialism is doing is dividing nations where we should be embracing each other to better understand difference to create a stronger cohesion and change for our future.
seems copy pasted facts, hardly made any intellectual/genuine effort. It gets harder to ignore with each video of pakistani professionals that key to becoming a professional in pakistan is to have birth in a rich or affluent household then by virtue of your background there is no stopping for a person with a modicum of will power or concentration power. In other words, intellectual minnows have seemingly become 'intellectual' giants
Peasants are like small business owners, they aspire to be lords of their own domain, you can have a revolution with them against the land owners but then you will eventually have to deal with them unless you suppress them with an iron boot. Far better to align with the intellectual bourgeois and socialise capitalism.

8:46 Prima Nocta was not a real thing. It's responsible to triple check statements when creating content which is intended to be accepted by a large audience. Edit; rephrased because my original comment made it seem like I was speaking about Marx and Engels specifically
You completely got Permanent revolution wrong, and the position of Modern Trotskyists. You are misunderstanding what is and what is not the peasantry, or why, in 1905, European support would be necessary. It's very apparent that you do not understand the history of the Soviet Union or communism as a whole, even less that of trotskyism.
Sir apka bahot bahot shukriya k ap apne lectures share krte hain hamare sath.. The way you explain the difficult issues of economics is very interesting and simple ❤keep it up
Interesting lecture despite wrong conclusions. Saying that privatisation is the reason for plunging into darkness shows a very biased narrative. The fact of the matter is sheer incompetence and corruption in the policy setup rather than privatisation.
Is power in China is privatise or govt own? Is generation and its distribution is privatise or govt own? Think wisely why China didn't privatise power related entities in China and you will have your answer.
@@amanulhaq9130 the role of the government is not to run institutions but to govern them and make policies. I have been working in the European utilities sector for nearly a decade so while I am not an expert, I have an idea of how the utilities sector functions. Secondly, knowing the Pakistani public sector competence, and our elaborate history of destroying state run entities, why would anyone recommend doing the same to the utilities sector rather than focusing the effort on policy making?
@@shehryarkhan2222 Why can't we make the public sector power utility companies as efficient and profitable as that of China, Indonesia and Malaysia etc. Even in Germany public sector power utility companies both at govt level and municipal level are efficient and cost competitive to private sector. Take example of K-electric in karachi. Has it solved the power problem of karachi? In few pockets of the city yes but their overall picture is as abysmal as that of any other public sector power utility company in pak. Reason is authority has been delegated but with minimum responsibility and accountability, which resulted in overbilling and less efficient power company. Rest of the world don't operate with these main ingredients.
Ebonics is the term that was first coined back in the 1970s by Dr. Robert Williams, an African-American psychology professor in St. Louis, MO. Through further study by linguist experts, they now call it African American English.
What a pleasure hearing this story! This is the way of learning we all need to learn. This is the way of an organic intellectual, not the arm of critique but the critique of arms.
Is it considered impossible in modern left/far-left circles to develop society towards more well-being for more people and advance social and economic equality without Marxism? What's so essential and unique in Marxism that we can't do good as well without? What are the pit falls of his theories and why did the actual implementations turn out so brutal, inhumane and despotic with very little economic success and devastating famines and shortages instead? Most of these arguments are strawmen and selective or idealistic interpretations. Technically Marx didn't divide society in to just two classes but in practice doesn't the distinction always eventually boil down to the have's and have not's? I think the problem here is that Dr. Peterson isn't talking about how Marxism could be ideally interpreted and how noble and sublime the ultimate ideals are. I know from my uni times people who adhere to this dogma and how it is imcorporated into radical social, gender and identity agendas, even animal rights activism. Peterson has a fairly good reason to simplify and reduce Marxism because that's what it actually looks like. Not perfect intellectually but he leaves that to those who actually take Marx seriously. A Jungian psychologist cannot take either Freud or Marx as the complete package but more often Marxist and Freudians see no real need for Jung's ideas. I'm not surprised by the soulless dogmatism that every Communist utopian project resulted in so far.
You don't mention the main argument of Trotsky against "socialism in one country", that is, that the economy is now integrated as a world system (so your examples about the agricultural revolution on Asia are anachronic and not applicable) and that (I don't have the exact quote) the cheaper commodities of the more advanced capitalist world were a greater danger to the revolutionary country than his armies (prophetic, look at he USSR demise). Also, on that quote you cite, Lenin was against waiting for world revolution to start a revolution in your our country, not against the idea of the need of revolution in the more advanced countries. This matches Trotsky conception.
