@revolutionarycats: Capitalism seeks to transform nature into commodity, and commodity into capital. It spreads like a virus to every corner of the world, expropriating the third world for the purpose of capital accumulation. The goal is to accumulate, accumulate, and accumulate as much capital as possible. Lecture by Michael Parenti (1991), American political scientist and Marxist. Lecture title: "Democratic Government vs. The State" #leftist #marxism #socialism #communism #capitalism

Leeennaahhhh🇦🇱 ❤️🇵🇸 :

Why don’t we have a society that is centered around what he teaches? We would be so much better off. I hate what we are now. We need to prioritize and know these peoples’ names. He’s so correct about so much.

dinu :

Love how simply he put it

Amilcar Sankara :

Could you please turn up the background music a little more? I can still barely make out what professor Parenti was saying

julia 🦢 :

Paraguay mention!! (Like usual it’s because we are a prime example of imperialist capitalism)

HelloBiafra :

Infinite growth from finite resources. When you measure success by the fiscal quarter, I guess it makes sense.

Ddc1991 :

Suburbs vs Slums but why are the slums the slums? ABUSE

Wow, and we are taught here in the US that the reason why these Third World countries fail is because they are socialist and communist in reality is the capitalism that makes them fail.

Alastor :

Absolutely Right!

Chris Jones :

Dave Soma :

mina :

Everytime economist go to the media to explain why our economy is not growing they say we have strong labor laws-which are not strong enough and not generally enforced

Capitalismo não tem solução pra pobreza então prefere deixar as pessoas morrerem de fome, de doenças, sem vacina, sem atendimento médico, de violência (inclusive policial) ou em guerras

🧙‍♂️ :

Sure but finite resources are burned by literally the entire western world daily at immense rates and even the ones we can replenish we barely do therefore at the rate we are going we are to far gone to come back from see just look at temperatures around the world just rising and rising and it WILL only continue so we ARE cooked because of CAPITALISM and the desire for wealth and power which is printed today and isn’t even something of value like gold nah it’s just specially printed paper except we work for that paper that they can just print 🥀
