I love old political theory but ill be damned if our modern dialect hasn't made it next to impossible to read these older books with clarity. I read 1800's literature all the time and still find it a big challenge.

This video was done so well. When I read this first part, I had an idea as to what this chapter was talking about. Now it all seems so clear

This made the whole chapter so much simpler to understand and connect to what was going on at the time, thanks a lot!

AHH!! I have a homework assignment on this and I was SO STRESSED! This helped out SO MUCH! I can't tell you how grateful I am. Thank you SO MUCH!

Thanks for linking the material in this video to the material that you covered in your Adam Smith series. It helps us to see that these philosophers learned from and reinterpreted each others' work.

Started reading this as doing politics at Uni after the summer and my friend said it’s worth reading but very soon I realised I needed help with it

This channel is making me smarter

THANK YOU SO MUCH when reading things like this my brain has a hard time comprehending the information and ideas; this broke it down really well, and made it much easier to understand the points being made. You’re an absolute lifesaver lol

Greetings comrade

SAVED MY GRADE!!!! thank you! everything makes so much more sense bc of this

This video made the chapter so easy for me.

Really good. Would love if you could add some dates within the narration. Just helps to imagine and understand the story better for me 👌

So great! Really helped me with an upcoming assignment.

Thank you for making this!

This helped me so much thank you so much!!!

Excellent summary, very well explained

Excellent video, thank you.

Bella Chao..... background music ❤️❤️❤️

Very well done - thank you

Good choice for playing an Italian communists song for the background music

Everyone should read "The Gulag Archipelago"

Thank you so much. I am subscribing :)

AMAZING!

Lol thank you sir ,you helped me alot for my assignment

Though bias in some sense (as is everything to be honest), this is a really well-made video and summary of Chapter 1.

you are amazing thank you so much

thank you so much you are amazing

Thank you

Subscribed!

The song's Bella Ciao btw : )

So do you recommend reading Das Kapital and Wealth of Nations before reading The Communist Manifesto? I suppose that makes sense, since its more of declaration and call to action rather than an economic treatise which assumes the reader already poses a knowledge of classical liberal and Marxist economics... but wasn't it meant to be made accessible to average workers anyway?

That’s very eye opening 🤔

One of My only critiques of Marx is his failure to predict the capability of bourgeois society to dismantle and isolate workers from their fellow proletariat and how they can control the aspects of technological growth to further, not only their profits, but the dismantling of worker/communist organizations

The bourgeois owns the means of production and the proletariat has nothing to sell but it's labor.

It’s been a charmed life

8:17 why?

its the beginning of the end.

There are more than 2 classes now... freelancers are in between...

It's the birdsss

The background music is so distracting

Thank you, bad business are indefensible.

It’s very good video and material analysis But music on the background is irritating and loud!!! It’s really hard to hear your words

I expected a little bit more context and information that goes beyond the source material. Could just read the source myself

Does anyone have any idea why Bourgeois & Proletariat doesn't include the wealthiest people on planet earth? The "supranationalists"?

THANK YOU! I tried listening to the audiobook but every philosophy book seems to be written in another language. And searching for the book on KZfaq mostly comes up with Jordan Peterson not being able to read properly.

Bella chao 😅

I see the bourgeois as a group who holds capital for the purpose of an upstart. This is how they stay useful. They can navigate while innovating and capture imaginations in the process. They can function in darkness and seem like leaders when in fact money is always the decision maker. Do you trust money or are you really signing up for slavery? You decide?

Ads on communist manifesto audiobook... tsk tsk

Another one different classes in the Soviet Union or communist China before China opened up with her special economic zones

As I understand to the best of my ability, Adam Smith envisioned capitalism as a form of socialism with money as its sculpture tool. One Kant is enough for all the 'self help.' Well, you see, 'If you can't control them, confuse them.' Why does the western civilization allow so much time and space for perversion of any idea? Frankly, I could care less. But because of globalization, all their problems leak into other cultures, including my society. (Though I am able to type and share this comment because of the same globalization. Ha ha)

Good job comrade 🇮🇳

tavarish hello but all of the world is same

song in the background?

Bourgeois put and end to patriarchy. Whoa we cannot say that in 2023.

Hi. The word proletariat would have been easier to grasp thru its history if it had been spelled ProLABORiat 😬

Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao

Marx is a part of the Bourgeoisie ; According to his structure he was a petit bourgeoisie. Merely a Bourgeoisie Biographer - Journalist. It 's Basically Propaganda Explanandum explaining capitalism as he capitalizes from his book he wrote for profit no doubt he was broke before he wrote it. It's not a book about charity of capitalism but profit of it . It is what it is . Some game about a game ; the money game and the classicism game rules . He is a cog in the wheels of Capitalism and it strengths though by nature of reflection of mode of production actually . An Author is categorized as Artisian I believe .

chao bella chao bella chao chao chao bella

As if Bourgeois incorporates people like Elon Musk- it doesn't.

i dont know why your not communist.

Dear CIA, I promise I just wanted the definition of Proletariat

english class made me show up here :(

Too many labelling.

Bourgeois literally translates to "middle-class".

yeah worship ur leaders every week like the Americans do I don't

I don’t see what is so bad about communism.

Fuck me, this Marxism thing is waking me up from a deep sleep

I can only say “comrade” when eat enough soy in a day.

This doofus was concerned about capitalism, classism etc. but did not know jack about agrarian cultures. Agrarian cultures DID NOT have conflicts between bourgeoise and proletariat. All the racism, diseases, exploitation, loneliness, the desire to overcome nature, the egoistic urge to rule others, all this comes from lack of natural resources and the resultant undernourishment and mental disorders. And if these cultures were really resourceful and creative (renaissance my ass), they would not have tried for world domination. Instead, they would have been more creative with their own resources. The industrial revolution wouldn't have needed metals for machines and the systems wouldn't have needed middle class. Bureaucracy is the transfer of slave system from politics to economics. And many western politics and business models still support it. Wow! What intellectual advancement! What do you think will emerge in culturally and naturally abundant cultures? Cooperation or competition? Why was the West so competitive? Because it was the west that was actually destitute of resources and morals? The west only knows how to label things without allotting any meaning to the morality of that word. So many 'progressive' and 'liberal' TV debates and still, people are not changing their ancient attitudes ! A big chunk of the population values entertainment a lot in the absence of a real culture, because real cultures have festivals. If modernity had really blossomed into a real culture, The descendants wouldn't need TVs and cinemas. They wouldn't fight over comic books and football teams. 'Pop culture' is sterile, a real culture is virile. Pop culture promotes gossip but calls it 'argument.' It promotes fads, personality. A real culture promotes discussion. It promotes long-term benefits, character. A real culture's soft power is its humanitarian work, not its show business. What a frivolous attempt to create culture without considering laws of nature! No matter how many atomic bombs you produce, a hurricane will still make your economy its bitch. What scientific advancement did the moon landing bring to the world? Please don't say "ball pen." Still, all their 'advanced' technology is so much dependent on nature and once the appliances corrode, most of them can't be regenerated or recycled. (at least, abysmally slowly.) The most complex and efficient machines are animal bodies. Why can this science not create a virile machine? A seed of a tree can give birth to thousand more seeds. Why is this feature seen only in the software and not hardware? (The creators of internet and PCs were considered to be 'nerds' or 'rebels' or 'outsiders', but they were the actual ones who brought revolutions with technologies, not photogenic ideologies.) Tesla used to put bulbs on the landmass without any wires and still generated electricity. Tesla's science wouldn't create a lot of wastage in the name of progress. Elon Musk doesn't have the balls to stay on this earth and restore its natural balance. What perversion of logic to label him as a 'visionary' ! He is just an escapist and a coward. If a country is inherently destitute, no matter how many attempts it may make in terms of political, scientific or intellectual advancement, it will always fail, because it is always dependent on other countries for natural resources. If they were really diplomatic, they would not need to spray agent orange in Vietnamese fields. All of their communism will implode. All of their capitalism will turn crony. The original economics (from Adam Smith) was borne out of philosophy. Today's capitalism forces philosophy out of economics according to its own convenience. No matter how many countries Britain may enslave and leave them only after creating some sort of conflict, once these countries start becoming free, Britain will have to fend for itself (and will struggle to free itself from any european affiliations, because now everyone knows about their manipulations.) No matter how many dollars the US may illegitimately print, it will face countless recessions. No matter how many 'good' rabbits Australia may import, they will create serious environmental problems. Need I even say anything about Russia? YOU CAN'T OUTSMART NATURE. THE EARTH WILL KEEP ROTATING. IT'S YOU WHO WILL BE ANNIHILATED. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE GUTS TO SURVIVE THIS EARTH, YOU THINK YOU WILL SURVIVE MARS? P.S. The above rant was typed in a 'language' that has 80 per cent of its words stolen from other languages. A dialect becomes a language when grammar is added into it. This supposed 'language' doesn't need grammar, but accent (!) to 'sound' sophisticated, civilized and imposing.

You mistake the Bourgeoisie as the 1%. It is, in fact, the middle class. The 1% will be unaffected by a Socialist society.

You do good work but your work is restricted to you only. Strange accent.

You europeans have strange accents.

You've just summarised the rubbish with no critical analysis of the meaning or truth in any of Karl Marx's assertions. It's a manipulative document and you've just become another victim of his manipulation techniques. ;-)
