The Difference Between Socialism, Communism, and Marxism Explained by a Marxist

Socialism, Marxism and Communism are different names of Mindvirus

So ,in other words anything but free markets will crush the human spirit and lead to treachery and authoritarian rule?

The test of what is and which is better, Capitalism or Socialism, lies in their definition. Both involve production and so involve labor. In capitalism human labor is differentiated, whereas in socialism it is not. People are not cows and herded together homogeneously, some are smarter than others.

There are two genders. The rest are constructs. There is capitalism and socialism. The rest are constructs.

I'm tired of people saying "paid for by the government"... It's paid for by everybody else... Not some blanket entity like the "government"

I understand the basics of the differences between the systems explained in this video, but I stopped studying them because I like to study geography, history, and languages, which do include some of this but for the most part talking about this kind of stuff leads to controversy, and controversy leads to nothing but futile arguing. One extra note: I am an American and what I gathered from what you said is that we call anyone who we don't like a "communist". This is not entirely true. Generally, the radical right calls the left "communist" and the radical left calls the right "fascist" neither of which are correct. I am more on the right side of the spectrum, and I have been called Fascist several times lol. I'm not on the radical right, yet I still get called so lol.

A lot of anarchists, most of us, have a transition between capitalism and communism, it's called anarchosyndicalism

More than a political thief, then we have ever Drent up .

Liberalism in Canada has gone extinct for at least the next 20 years thanks to Justin.

No difference they are all democrats

One simple distinction. Capitalist societies are invariably more successful than Socialist ones.

There is NO difference between any of them. There are two ways to live; freedom or living under the threat of force. Government is force. Pat and obey, in various degrees of severity.

Never again conflate national socialism with Marxist socialism

interesting but totally useless. Can you now explain Caplist

Ask Argentina about Socialism.

So its basically all the same with a few iterations. All want the same outcome, communism.

I think comparing economic and government systems muddies the water.

Nazi germany had free market capitalism? WTF! they literally had a trade union controlled by the state with 32 million members used to control what the factories would produce called "the german labour front", they also used to have huge price control and war economy

sexy learning disabilities was INSANE

Each one is a failure for the people.

Each 1 only want control.

The ussr has socialist republic in it's name and it's leading party was based on marx ideology and called it selfs communist...

But STALIN! 🤣

Call it what you want.. This ideology resulted in over 60 million human deaths. Can we stop entertaining this nonsense now?

Uh, you really managed to twist that Cuba example. Somehow you managed to connect "owning by the state" to "owning by the people" since you claim the community is represented by democratically elected representatives. WRONG! Cuba does not have free elections; the communist party is the only official political party. Elections are not considered fair and free in Cuba. Do you really think the Cuban people hold ANY power over their government???

This is a good video. But now let's talk about how many people died under every attempt at implementing marxism, and how all communists argue that every single attempt was done wrong and somehow know better.

america is all of these with a splash of facism

Thanks, even with all the red scare propaganda in the US still, I never really fell into it and decided to look into it myself. Where would corporatism go, the economic system of Fascist Italy for example? It was state owned private property, protectionism and economic interventionism

You dont even approach the central meaning of these statues: They have Economical differences BUT they walk the same TREASON way in terms of: Nation, Faith, Motherland!😠 * Democracy of Pericles, was a completely different statue than today's English kind of pseudo- democracy that was made to control small Countries..
We can say that it was a DEMOCRATIC FASCISM!! (take care: Not Nazism.) An example is: In ancient Democratic Athens, was forbidden to death to hospitalize foreigners from other Countries! It was only for Greeks from other towns who were obliged to pay a special tax: Μετοίκιον!
If I'm wrong.. please correct me,

They still haven’t solved the problem of what to do with all the people that don’t want anything to do with any of this crap. Other than killing them I suppose. This reminds me of the peoples popular front of judea

Hate rich people is the basic of communism.

One of the many problems with socialism is that the "worker control" it promises is an illusion, a lie. The "will of the people" is an abstract. At best, it's able to provide a general direction, but it's not capable of the executive decision-making required for actual governance and logistical management, especially in a large society. For that, you need actual individual minds. This is why democracies become republics and why socialism becomes communism. The difference is that when people say "democracy" they picture a republic in their head, and thus aren't disappointed when that's what it becomes. More importantly, they build the system with this in mind and try to put in appropriate safeguards (with varied success). But when people say "socialism" they actually think they'll be the ones making the decisions, so the reality comes as a shock to them. They rush into it headlong with no safeguards because they assume they'll be the ones in power. And then they wonder why it always ends up as a corrupt, totalitarian state.

Socialism is the lie told to useful idiots to get Communism into power

And every flavour of it leads to either starvation, millions of bodies in mass graves, economic desaster or dissolvment of individualism and freedom.

The difference ?
Just the dead bodycount !

I seem to recall that the Nazis identified themselves as "NATIONAL socialists", not just "Socialists". These are two terms (if I remember correctly) that the Nazis themselves drew a distinction between. Therefore to say that the Nazis were 'socialists' because it says so in the name is actually incorrect. Because they thought of themselves as purely National-Socialists, as distinct from the generic term. National-Socialism therefore was a political persuasion, peculiar to the Nazis themselves, and only them. As nobody else in history (apart from the Neo-nazi groups, presumably) has adopted the National-Socialist ideology.

The video refers to Cuba as a Democratic government?! How did he do that without laughing?

I have a very concise way of describing Communism, it is not a definition but simply a description.
A man wrote a book and hundreds of millions died either defending the book or opposing it.

no if left unchecked, they will all gravitate to communism, or collapse would be a more accurate term such ideals have never worked at any level.

Be honest. These differences are arbitrary and abstract. In practice, they’re the same thing.

I don't know if I agree with this. First thing - I feel Marxist-Leninism is actually more 'revisionist' by definition.

Second thing - I don't see how Marxism is always exclusive from anarchism.

All 3 are evil

Central banks using central planning to control investor practices through interest rates is also communist.

Nazi was not a capitalist economy it was totally controlled by the party and the market was not free it was state controlled

And that's why socialism doesn't work. It's a complete mess.

If only Mc Carthy had seen this……

Thanks for the video. If you do make another video about this topic, can I suggest some more practical examples? Cheers :-)

communism is capitalism for the elite running the country and poverty for everybody else.

Very happy to be on the right side. The entire left is a stain on humanity. Over 100 million deaths between Mao and Stalin alone. Also, our God isn't SATAN. Notice how this guy uses the goat and satanic star?

I don't care what anything is called...my house, my property, my cars, my belongings, & my assets are mine. I'll fight to the death before sharing it with the "collective." I got mine, now you get yours!!! and stay the f*ck off my lawn!!!
