@Giel1987 You are …
@Giel1987 You are right, just that the proletariat is now the majority of the third world. Outdated, but not update-able.
Seriously, who …
Seriously, who wants to start a political rant about communism on a monty python video? Truth is, by Marx’s definition, we’ve never had true communism in this world. The penultimate revolution would be when the government abdicates its power and people simply live as one commune with resources distributed as needed. Seeing as socialist govt.s never willingly give up their power, that probably will never happen.
Only thing is you …
Only thing is you left out the part where Marx is making out with Che Guevara XD No really. That’s the best part.
@Giel1987 It is a …
@Giel1987 It is a mistake to associate the proletariat only with the factory(mine) worker, yes this was the proletariat of marx his time. But todays proletariat is largely represented in the service industry. Are you asserting then that todays proletariat is not alienated?
@Giel1987 @Giel1987 …
@Giel1987 @Giel1987 Again, I don’t think so. Marx defines the proletariat as a class that doesn’t own the means of production, and thus has to sell their labor in order to provide in their material necessities. If we translate this to modern sociological stratification theory one could aregue that is about 60 to 80 percent of the population.
I know he did. But …
I know he did. But if you look at modern western society, then you see the proletariat hasn’t been growing and getting poorer. It’s shrunken in fact!
I really don’t …
I really don’t think so, marx was well aware of the fact that capital grew, expanded and centralized
They don’t work in …
They don’t work in theory anymore, I think. His ideas were based on the 19th century society, with a small elite and a huge proletariat. This is hopelessly out dated
Yea…..or he could …
Yea…..or he could be unpopular because he caused the suffering of countless people.
How funny that you want to have a serious discussion about Karl Marx after seeing a Monty Python skit. Python made this skit for people like you. Lighten up and laugh!
OMG this is …
OMG this is hilarious. I heard John Philip Souza’s “Liberty Bell March” which is the “Monty Python” theme, on a classical music station, so immediately came on YouTube to see a Python video. Masterfully done as usual. These guys were – and are- geniuses.
Okay, I’ll send you …
Okay, I’ll send you a message, it’ll be a bit long.
Can you explain …
Can you explain what you mean when you say all true left wings seek capitalism?
They didn’t work in …
They didn’t work in theory. He misinterpreted his admittedly brilliant historigography, to confuse the slow ending of of state control over society and capital, with the rise of absolute state controk over society and capitalism, which is called communism. All true left wings seek capitalism.
I used to be a …
I used to be a communist back in the good loe day when the world was young (last year), but now im over it…this vid is great!!! love it!!! lol=)
My goodness you …
My goodness you people are far too silly. Just laugh you jackasses!
I don’t blame Marx. …
I don’t blame Marx. He would have been disgusted by communism. His ideas don’t work in the real world.
You can’t blame a …
You can’t blame a thinker for others who use their theory as justification for bullshit, like Stalinism
Marx’s ideas may …
Marx’s ideas may work in theory, but they have caused a lot of suffering in practice.
Although perhaps …
Although perhaps unpopular, Marx was undoubtably one of the greatest political theorists of all time, And to discriminate against him simply because he had a different idea on how to live is xenophobia.
LOL communists …
LOL communists are just stupid. How many people have they murdered to fulfill their power? I love Monty… but I hate communists…
lol, i love monty …
lol, i love monty python
im not a communist, …
im not a communist, but i did a report on Karl Marx and i think he was brilliant in many ways, but that was just to hilarious.
I know somone that …
I know somone that kind of looks like Stalin.
Too bad. No lounge …
Too bad. No lounge suite for Karl Marx.
Lol lenin looks …
Lol lenin looks just like my grandpa
