Marx offers us a unique insight into the YouTube algorithm and burnout, by way of alienation and commodity fetishism. Check out the new video for a brief discussion on the matter! youtu.be/qCwEVBxR9pg

The latest video covers the monetary expression of labor time (MELT) and why it is important for comparative analysis of capitalist economies: youtu.be/oNG5soJ6ghM

While (some) workers supposedly have the franchise, in reality capital employs any and every tactic available to control political outcomes. Who could be the clients of 'Team Jorge' and other such groups but the very wealthy? The game is always rigged. shorturl.at/anHLM

Latest video is on imperialism -- a topic that is talked about very often, but with insufficient consideration of contemporary perspectives: youtu.be/DtziEZAR1Qk

There's a dark irony in the way the US undermines its own moral grandstanding by repeatedly demonstrating that it is unwilling to furnish the most basic rights for its citizens. In these moments the insincerity of the entire American mythos is laid bare for the whole world to see

The article also spoke of a historical destiny for Russia, i.e. its mission to "gather the Russian world." It referred to Ukrainians as "Little Russians" and claimed that Putin had tackled the "solution of the Ukrainian question."

It's disappointing that certain leftists are expressing (a fully justified) anti-NATO sentiment while forgetting where Russian ruling class interests lie. This isn't a principled stance against capitalist hegemony, it's an aspiration for the construction of a different one

I didn't think I'd need to say this but, war is bad. Very bad. Two Capitalist nations are struggling with one another, and those who lose the most are the working class of both. Ukrainians by immediate effects, Russians by sanctions. The oligarchs of both nations? Unaffected.

Say what you will about co-ops, this simply would not have happened in a democratic workplace. nbcnews.to/3oUeKmI

New video looks at decollectivization in Chinese agriculture. Was the dismantling of the commune a necessary step for modernization? A close look suggests that the unraveling of collective agriculture was not a spontaneous event. youtu.be/HZtbcvjXXRU

This is the real conspiracy. Not 5G towers, not vaccines, not aliens. This is the proverbial "dark shadowy backroom" where the transnational capitalist elite matter-of-factly store an unthinkable volume of plunder. bit.ly/3A1G0Sx

"Civil government, so far as it is instituted for the security of property, is in reality instituted for the defence of the rich against the poor, or of those who have some property against those who have none at all." - Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations

"Why don't you ask the residents of former communist countries how they feel about it!?" Okay.

.@POTUS: "How would it be if the United States were viewed by the rest of the world as interfering with the elections directly of other countries and everybody knew it? What would it be like if we engaged in activities that he engaged in? It diminishes the standing of a country."

It's important to understand the power of the far right in Ukraine. Fascists and neo-Nazis have reached a level of influence and power that could set dangerous precedents for the rest of the world. youtu.be/4yZvWAwU5W4

"The worker in Russia earns only 9% of what he produces" Productivity is around $25/hr, despite roughly 70% of Russians making an average of $2/hr. By the estimates of this source, that amounts to 7hrs and 18min of surplus labor in an 8hr workday.

The latest video is a primer on Marx's theory of ground rent. Differential rent and absolute rent make an appearance towards the end of Vol. 3 and hence don't always get as much attention as the flashier concepts. youtu.be/Ym_afnkzwyo
