Great video! When you start, if you haven't already, researching for the video(s?) on contemporary China, I hope you rely more on the works of actual Chinese academics like Xiaohuan Lan and Cheng Enfu.
@@redpen1917 interesting, do you plan on making a video about Xi's anti-corruption campaign? There's a great book on it "Corruption Control in Authoritarian Regimes" by Christopher Carothers which thoroughly demolishes the western liberal narrative surrounding it, quite ironic considering he is the Deputy Chair of the East Asia and Pacific Studies Program at the U.S. State Department's Foreign Service Institute. But he is much less intellectually dihonest than the average liberal academic and political scientist. There's also a study on how the anti-corruption campaign has caused a decrease in the BMI of government bureaucrats haha
Imperialism existed since ancient times. Imperialism was prominent through the ages on nearly every continent. Australia, never overcoming the stone age seems to be an exception. Imperialism has nothing to do with modern capitalism. Its pure marxist propaganda. Imperialism is rooted in human nature and its inclination to expand in every sense of the word. Imperialism begins in Kindergarten. It is the instinct of dominating your environment. Simply look around you.
There's plenty of 3rd world countries that imperialism were never involved or very little intervention, they're all in tribal wars of their own til this day. There's also colonized nations that did very well like South Korea, Singapore, India. It's not imperialism that is the problem, it's the lack of adaptation to the rest of the world.
External pressure from imperialism as well as inadequate internal responses to the problems it faced as a new type of society attempting to lead history past capitalism.
this has been an enlightening course and easily explainable theory to others. I applied knowledge gained here today in a conversation with my fellow worker and the effects of alienation of labor on the arts. thank you, again, red pen!
Be careful what you wish for, you might get it. I definitely agree that reform is highly overdue, but not sure about looking to China as the poster child example. Also in order to ferment the kind of radical change you are discussing, we would probably need to either have another great depression type of era or a civil war (which would roughly be the American equivalent of WW1/WW2 before it became a worldwide conflict).
@@redpen1917 agreed, a process which will probably culminate in something terrible before things start to progress towards a new, hopefully prosperous system for the average American. WW1 and WW2 arguably were that culmination for the collapse of the old order of European imperialism, I pray to God that we don't have something like that in our future.
@@mattt2094 China isn’t going to save us, but they are setting the most successful example of socialism in world history, outdoing many achievements and correcting many shortcomings of the soviet union.
Calling out problems, inequalities, exploitation, etc.. is one thing. To purport that you have the solutions and know how to balance the scales.. quite the other.
@@chrislambert9435 Lenin walks around the world. Frontiers cannot bar him. Neither barracks nor barricades impede. Nor does barbed wire scar him. Lenin walks around the world. Black, brown, and white receive him. Language is no barrier. The strangest tongues believe him. Lenin walks around the world. The sun sets like a scar. Between the darkness and the dawn There rises a red star.
Great video but please don’t use England as an interchangeable term for the United Kingdom. The UK is not England, it is Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland.

lacking elbow grease, Marx and Engels are the original social parasites: tuneyadstvo. Lenin invented the CHEKA and the red terror and Stalin elevated it to a work of Marxist-Leninist art: "ARS GRATIA ARTIS." Lenin was a cannibal as all Marxists are, he succinctly picked the best cannibal after himself to carry on the cannibalization of USSR, uncle Joe, our gallant ally. In the name of the workers' paradise, all other Marxists cannibalized their countries too, clearly, into Nazi slave camps. You see, commies don't have roots, commies don't have countries, commies just have trenches filled with dead they murdered while carrying away the looted goods and properties of their victims.
I don't think imperialism generated 1914-18, rivalry means competition, and rivalry can heat up, generating war. I agree the French dearly wanted their provinces back, and in 1939 Germany wanted revenge, however imperialist the nations were, what bothered them was status and security.
Marxism is the most genocidal ideology of all time. Tens of millions killed by their own governments. Only a subhuman homosexual like yourself would find such an ideology attractive.
Nope, ethnic tensions caused the hit on Franz, that was the fruit of years of leftist Marxist propaganda to break up Austria-Hungary Empire. You romanticize, humans in absence of religion (not claiming one way is better than the other) will search for meaning. Who’s to say they don’t find an equally “wrong” cause to live for, as an atheist views a devout Catholic. The psychology behind “personal truths/my truth”, stems from manipulative techniques to silence and dull the masses from being highly critical of the state of their lives, and the lack of fulfillment on the genuine things that matter most. Least of which being personal status. So they can serve the state, comrades in servitude to the most wholly government bureaucrats.
Interesting documentary! But as I´m from Czechia I would oppose the criticism about lack of the memorial. Already in 1960´s the Jewish Museum has opened the Memorial to the Victims of the Shoah from the Czech Lands in Pinkas synagogue in Prague.
When western Europeans call Arabs or non white Europeans "Terrorists", We, the well educated and well raised humans, just fume and begin to remind them how horrible the world was before they armed revolutionaries, and made the world a "Literal Hell". I know first hand. A perfect example of imperialism and capitalism in modern times is right across the US border. Most of the militant groups weapons, munitions and armor come from the US. Those same militants create pharmaceutical raw material for the US' massive medical consumerist society. When the southern Northen and Southern American countries impose political treaties and sanctions to even trade and create an equality in natural resources and exchange, the US will create instability and throw off the balance in order to force those countries to slip in their control over economics. The cartels and tourism is a big example of those monsters created by countries like the US. Ofcourse it takes two to tango. The US will install democratic capitalist sympathizers in these countries over decades of tumultuous political upheaval, starting with protests, riots created by pro democracy students, students who understand very little of world history, politics and life, but believe they can make a change. Exploiting their ignorance, the political factions will feed the media with propaganda and therefore receiving popular votes in order to achieve their selfish agendas goals. Shortly after, the masses see the fallacies and mistakes and lies, but the damage has already been done. This repeats itself all over the world. The US and the UK are the leaders in these malicious acts. The benefit today, is the social media and technology we have today, and information we can find through these channels ❤

May the businessman be damned since the day he took the steam engine, which the intellectuals had controlled since the Romans, and used it for something useful. Marx express his ideas wrapped in pompous epigrams which sounds like deep thinking thoughts, as if sophisticated language has intrinsic value - sophistry fetishism. Ideas, according to Marx, are like excess steam which do no work, or as Engels says, _"Man produces primarily and essentially by means of the hands."_ With the mind and ideas out of the way Marx was left with only labor as a mysterious force that coagulated itself as value in commodities, as if labor had intrinsic value - labor fetishism. The businessman might have found a use for the steam engine, but we intellectuals go deeper than vulgar economics, we have more lofty goals. Capitalism may have lifted people out of poverty, but at the price of false consciousness. We intellectuals, just like the clergy, are not impressed by wealth. We will save people from consumerism and lead them back to their true and authentic nature.
'What is imperialism'? It is the name of the political system to which billions of people have been sacrificed by so-called 'great nations' throughout history.
What books do you recommend on Imperialism. I’m a social democrat who believes all countries can engage in state capitalism and social democracy, where eventually the whole world can have a similar system. Where the state levies markets for profit and doesn’t need to export via imperialism. What books do you recommend to disprove or challenge this viewpoint so I can learn. I have no problem to be open to socialism and communism.
@@redpen1917 that "objectivity" doesn't explain the water and diamonds paradox... Menger's marginal theory does. They need idealistic contexts in order to meet their theoretical expectations, on the other hand Menger just reads real phenomena.
its based on the socially necessary labor needed to realize their use. for water, being that it is plentiful but high in use value, does not require the same socially necessary labor to produce and realize it in use. finding a diamond, out of the blue, would be considered an anomaly based on the average labor socially needed to produce a diamond.@@inevafreeze4476
