Transcript

00:04

And here's your schmoop du jour brought to you by Karl Marx the

00:07

long-forgotten sixth Marx brother we wonder why didn't keep them around in [Five Marx brother in a line and Karl appears at the back]

00:11

the act okay take a look at the following passage right there a communist disdain

00:17

to conceal their views and aims they openly declare that there ends can be

00:21

attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions but

00:25

the ruling classes tremble at a communistic revolution the proletarians

00:29

have nothing to lose but their chains, they have a world to win working men of

00:33

all countries unite [mumbling]

00:39

Anyway here's the question as evidence through the passage above, Karl

00:44

Marx was a passionate leaders and is considered the father of which of the

00:47

following and here are your potential answers all right well you know how we

00:52

know that Marx was a quote passionate leader unquote because he wrote that [Passage written on a chalkboard]

00:56

last line in all caps and if there's one thing we've learned from arguing with [Man giving a lecture]

01:01

internet trolls online it's that when they type in all capital letters it not

01:05

only means that they're passionate but they're probably right apparently that's [A woman teaching a class of young children]

01:09

just how arguing on the internet work sure we might disagree when you say that

01:13

Daniel Craig is the worst James Bond ever but second you hit that caps lock

01:17

key there's nothing more we can do you win this time...

01:21

But beyond being passionate what else do we know about mark and no he [a couple kissing in a field and Karl Marx appears]

01:27

wasn't actually a Marx Brother, but wouldn't that have been a great act

01:30

anyway he was the granddaddy of capitalism unless you meant to say

01:34

anti-capitalism but that would be pretty big oversight to me kind of like saying

01:39

Ross was the coolest character on friends which would make no sense until [Man thinking Ross was the coolest character on Friends and woman disagrees]

01:43

you realized you forgot to say the least which while still not making a perfect

01:46

grammatical sense here, would be still a heck of a lot closer than the truth so

01:50

so sorry Ross, hi. While Marx's ideas and socialism often do line up socialism

01:56

simply can't be tied to a single dude as variations on it are super old going [A really old man with wrinkles]

02:01

back as far as classical Greek philosophers go you know like plato..

02:05

not quite marxy enough for us, leaving us with communism and Anarchy so which

02:10

one is it well both aim to abolish the social inequalities caused by wage labor [Boy preparing to fire an arrow from a bow]

02:16

however anarchist don't recognise authority or law of any kind while

02:21

communists support a state ruled by the proletariat so which one was the

02:25

brainchild of marx, well communism of course marks believe that society

02:29

suffered under conflict associated with class struggles and that communal [Person giving a woman a piggy-back through a forest]

02:34

ownership of property could solve that problem which you know is more or less

02:39

the fundamental basis of communism we do wonder however if marks ever had [A large white church building]

02:43

roommates in college nothing teaches you about communal ownership faster than

02:47

disgusting bathrooms, piles of dishes, and never-ending conflict
