Capitalism and Socialism: Crash Course World History #33

Spread The Viralist



In which John Green teaches you about capitalism and socialism in a way that is sure to please commenters from both sides of the debate. Learn how capitalism arose from the industrial revolution, and then gave rise to socialism. Learn about how we got from the British East India Company to iPhones and consumer culture in just a couple of hundred years. Stops along the way include the rise of industrial capitalism, mass production, disgruntled workers, Karl Marx, and the Socialist Beard. The socialist reactions to the ills of capitalism are covered as well, and John discusses some of the ideas of Karl Marx, and how they’ve been implemented or ignored in various socialist states. Plus, there are robots!

  1. But John if you had never went to Alaska how could you help me grow, then? Not all of that ideas were bad, give yourself some credit 😉 And maybe refresh The Capital since you radicalised after pandemic 👽♥️🛸

  2. Your speech is even less clear than my old day's high school classes.
    You didn't even mention the most important part of Das Kapital, the Theory of Surplus Value. That is the core of capitalism.
    I just don't get it, if you want to claim that most of the countries are using the Industrial-capitalism nowadays, just not label your video with Socialism or communism. It is a very disgusting move, because you seemed not want to explain what is socialism at all.
    YOU ARE JUST MAKING FUN.🤔What a waste of time.

  3. Sounds to me like capitalism brought about more ingenuity, technological advancements, and prosperity and communism brought revolution and starvation.

  4. Idk man I’ve seen capitalist who wouldn’t have a conversation and just say “die commie” I mean it’s bad on both sides but isn’t a one sided thing

  5. Capitalism enables few to be richer than the masses and control them.
    Communism enables the government to replace the few and control all.
    Evidently, communist nations have higher wealth centralisation in few hands than capitalist nations.
