sadly think last night's result means that they probably will end the season without any silverware it's well which is a very sad thing that would be a sad thing for your in club and for all will have to see next week at his ever thanks very much this is g.w. live from berlin i'm brian thomas for the entire news team thanks so much for joining us up next we have a look at the legacy and there is of all markets don't miss that. shifting powers the old order is history the world is real uniting itself and the media's role is keep the topic in focus of the global media forum twenty nineteen today one out of two people is online who are we following whom do we trust to beijing and shape the future at the georgia dome and global media for twenty nineteen.

and i know i'm putting in a category where as freud and darwin as three thinkers are a vastly expanded our human knowledge and. to quote mission has been given vehicles he was the first economist to describe the basic laws mechanisms that drive our economic order and much of that is still relevant today once not be functor. to do so marxism has long played the most important role in chinese society and will continue to do so in the future from which she found. a. monstrous and live. shot of the right from marx only because nothing about the history they've used those seemingly of alternatives to capital but just look at stall in an alley to say. that it doesn't. wash well that's not modest

with what i find most compelling about mark says his belief that social liberation for the individual can only happen if that hope for liberation is available to everyone. cow marx was a philosopher journalist and economist two hundred years after his birth his ideas are still relevant. today the sweeping changes happening in the wake of globalization sparking fresh debates about capitalism and social inequality. marx and self insisted that the job of philosophers was not just to interpret the world but to change it. over the years many have sought to put his ideas into practice in widely differing ways and with widely varying results.

in many parts of the world people have invoked calma proclaimed revolutions in his name ten society on its head. most of those experiments on the history but capitalism which marx despised has proven more resilient than he would ever have imagined. the traditional marxist idea that you enact a revolution and put others in charge and your problem is solved that's proven itself a failure and it's no surprise when you have class struggle and suddenly everything is turned around and the previous winners are now losers they won't just suddenly roll over and give up. to press for change to happen we need social solidarity for everyone.

the industrial revolution was the central preoccupation of the nineteenth century. its groundbreaking inventions would radically transform people's lives but also bring catastrophic working conditions to the new factories. the misery and deprivation spot numerous uprisings across europe.

marks was born into a tranquil town in what is now west in germany. comeuppance the century of karl marx's a native of trigger which is of particular interest to the chinese because they adore marx and it's why our city has a very intensive relationship with china and you know. she is in homs the chinese offered us a sculpture as a gift for karl marx's two hundredth birthday we looked into the idea and located a place to put it and i'm going to said smith is that the. clouds. then we had gold over the size and arrived at his hotel height of five meters fifty's buttons it's the chinese were happy with that because five five years marks his birthday and we hadn't even noticed that symbolism but it helped us arrive at the compromise on size it's just rebuilding the base and the sculptures being made in china. and she know if it is going to work with her we'll bring the sculpture

here in the spring and then inaugurated on may fifth two unfinished might but. it's . mark spent his childhood entire as a do his father a lawyer was not permitted to practice his profession in pressure the family converted to protestantism. at nineteen began studying law in bonn a year later he moved to berlin. the limb is also where marx first became interested in philosophy which eventually became his focus. marks a systematic study of hitler's doctrine of dialectics would become the cornerstone of his future ideas and work. as marx would later argue industrialization gave rise to a new economic system capitalism and

a new class of people the proletariat this new proletariat he believed would inevitably cost of the yoke of capitalist oppression and give rise to a new social order. but this revolution was a long time coming it did not take place until long after marxist death and it happened where marx least expected it in backward russia with vladimir lenin the communist revolutionary at its head. leaning by as i had seen in all men and had for decades associated with a group of left wing politicians the second international they all believed that if they educated workers about their true situation workers would all refuse to go to war against one another instead of the international probably teria would join forces and unite and spark a world revolution. that didn't happen which was a crushing blow for many socialists lenin included.

the first world war was the first total war which demanded not only mobilization of an army but mobilization of the civilian population to meet the needs of the war effort and this was something the sorry system simply could not cope with. increasingly food was short the only party those calling clearly for an end to the war is the bullshit party using this rising tide of anti war feeling lenin begins to argue for the bullshit party must seize power in the name of the soviets. marx is often said to be the determining inst in the sense that he thought that socialism would come about fairly inevitably from the contradictions of capitalism

lenin was much more of a volunteer a study he believed in will power and lenin didn't think that capitalism alone would create a revolution so lenin developed this very particular conception of the party in which professional revolutionaries would lead the masses. without lenin there wouldn't have been a bolshevik revolution. efforts all at the revolution was a hugely charismatic event for some vision and inspiration for others a nightmare and so on. lenny's hope was that the russian example would be taken up by the german workers

and that the two countries in alliance could make a revolution and overcome russia's problem which was its intense poverty and its intense social and economic backwardness. germany was absolutely central in the perspective of the bolsheviks for the first few years. was a look from rosa luxemburg and karl liebknecht founded the spartacus league in response to russian events they hope germans had grown so tired of war and its cost so dissatisfied that a revolution might be possible thoughts of freedom for despite an addy cried the boy and his younger son. they tried three times and they failed and i think they failed not because of poor tactics but because they were up against a much much stronger opposition. as a student in berlin became known among his fellow students for his keen intellect he

was considered a leftist which drew the attention of the press in secret police. mercs completed a doctorate but his left wing ideas made it impossible to secure an academic post. in only eight hundred forty two he began working for a daily newspaper in cologne the harnish outside which was critical of the present government in berlin. marx used the newspaper to describe the desperate conditions of the working class the census banned many of his articles thus in his short tenure as the paper's editor marx helped change the face of political journalism because. what it told us journalists are also had a powerful impact on marx you were a newspaper editor he was forced to address the struggles faced by local farmers at the dawn of capitalism so that before that he was an intelligent clever radical

thinker but very abstract and idealistic. i'm going on must i began reading mark shortly after finishing my confirmation classes but quick out hadn't answered me so i think looking for someone else who could explain the world to move in mocks the quotes how i came to the early marx and i was basically the air of german idealism as i'm can see you want to explain the world and help create a new society based on a principle with i always driven by an immensely important desire for freedom. marks marks the prophet phlox the icons who is revered as someone who promised salvation to humankind that he never actually existed. that image is the result of bad propaganda as we're taught from tricked up on. that propaganda would later also be used to glorify the outcomes of communist revolution. these

propaganda posters say nothing of the millions who were killed in the subject union under stalin and in china and. the side do you put each has its extreme announcing. the emphasis is very very much on the will of the communists. today there are many people who say china how to reduce east stitches now a capitalist economy in a capsule this world with a regime that is communist in name only i'm not sure that we've seen. this story maybe in twenty fifty there will be a chinese state but still calls itself socialist. even though you suppose you leads to that since two thousand and eight the crisis

of capitalism has steadily grown more acute but what does this crisis mean today we find ourselves confronted with the very same questions that karl marx once face. seashell you know mugs and. it's often said that the chinese revolution was a peasant revolution that is basically true mao sort ways of engaging presence through for example using traditions of opera. if. i. i. i. the problem about socialism in backward countries was that although it aspired to

give people a decent conditions of life it effectively meant squeezing the population for the resources that were needed to build a strong and austria land in the true state. of . marx every chinese person knows him. here you know marxism leninism is the basis of our political system. your songs you know we had big posters of marx at school that's how i came to know marxism right now my focus is on my own quality of life that's enough for me to go

and make sure you. know what's worse i want to be honest i believe marxism is slowly being forgotten. how you got. to go these are so called. the chinese government is investing a great deal of money to popularize marxist ideas in the form of books modern media and even its own t.v. show. and when you ensure income into the team we hope. many young people wrote to us after the show they said it had given them an entirely different picture of karl marx marx was no longer just a poster hanging on the wall which they could now relate to him in their real actual lives. marx is still influential and even very influential he's still relevant today and his ideas are still useful at the nineteenth national congress of the communist party it was decided that china will be

a modern socialist country by the middle of this century. as you will be would you. be. so. my central theme is the great seeker. news this is at the core of marxist thought his philosophical views and his life marcus it's just all great individuals have two important characteristics. first they have made

a meaningful contribution to human society. the end second their spirit is marked by firm conviction that a strong will and great determination because. these characteristics merit suppressions in this work but. the statue of marks has a high forehead and deep set. but it's also decisive in the way that it strives to the future he is always looking forward to the future. no the family is not honest about. ok ok ok so young he's already seen it on so the height and the ground plan i hope it's exactly the way he imagined it the inscription. my life does for sale. and.

humming and he's very pleased when you have inspired our young ok we have two versions up one pedestal has rounded corners and it's tears and steps for that in the other version we're mainly using right angles midwest moving which to see prefer the birds doesn't need me can only go find an eagle civilian are. the rounded one the rounded one ok. mark says happy to be coming back home. early eighteen forty three pression senses forced the final should tighten in cologne to shut its doors. karl marx decided to leave for paris that same year he married his childhood sweetheart jenny fun best filed.

in the mid nineteenth century paris was a haven for free thinkers of all stripes they debated socialist and communist ideas such as the abolition of private property in paris marx met feedly shyness a young philosopher and revolutionary. months was deeply impressed by innocence reports on the mystery of the english working class. marks decided to abandon journalism and focus on political and economic philosophy this is the period. in which he began writing about class struggle and the self-image patient of the proletariat. society all members of society are formally equal and have equal rights in reality the proletariat can only choose where to sell their labor and choose where they will be chained. all the workers are paid for their labor what they produce is not in service of their own needs but the needs of

their employer. the worker produces grains for the mills of another. the worker is trapped in a vicious circle. his labor directly increases the wealth of the capitalists which only serves to intensify his own exploitation. society as a whole as more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps into two great classes directly facing each other. now you. think you. would. go nuts if you know marx is amazingly relevant we've never had so many people in poverty or risk of poverty so many homeless and refugees and extreme wealth is exploding for doing to explore as if you'd like us for today's working class includes white collar workers and salaried employees and are you. when jobs are at

risk muxes ideas often come into play for example when i took up the fight against the plans of parent company general electric to slash jobs the friends coming this party supposing they fight. for example. i'm here to assure you of the full and complete support of the communist party i think i just said it in joint union meeting that we calculated how much the shareholders will gain from the merger this is ok are you that's why your fight is a just one we support yours here and in the entire country you don't do we'll continue forward together console so let us see. it's easy to. i believe the demonstration we witnessed here with saddam employees is very typical of capitalism today it's

a globalized capitalism which pits the workers of different countries or different locations against one another it turns workers into the playthings of globalization so that they serve the interests of increasingly powerful groups this is a symbolic struggle to take a strong stand against capitalism the proletariat today must be much more united at the international level. what we're seeing now is that the ecological crisis and the massive social and ethical issues the world is facing today are bringing us to rethink our society as a whole. that's the genius of marx he understood that the contradictions within the system would become so extreme that we would eventually be forced to explore ways to overcome them. good news for. the french communist party was very strong after the second world war because it had played an important role in the fight against fascism in europe

in the one nine hundred thirty s. . many important social and economic advances are communist in origin especially social security which was introduced by a communist minister in one thousand nine hundred five. i believe that euro communism was a key moment during the one nine hundred seventy s. euro communism came into being when the european communist parties understood that the soviet system was collapsing. euro communism in western europe emerged under the shadows of the cold war the new reborn socialist model was to cast off the shackles of soviet doctrine and up taint democratic legitimacy. this idea found enthusiastic supporters in many countries especially italy and france. but even as communist parties in western europe increasingly distanced themselves from the soviet union communist east germany became ever more vocally supportive of moscow. in communist east

germany the party to an authoritarian methods to enforce its interpretation of the marxist legacy in which the freedom of dissent had no place. even the renaming of camelot says karl marx shot on may tenth one nine hundred fifty three was an important acknowledgement of the revolutionary tradition in the city and the contribution made by its working class store workers and present state . professor love karbala was already created many statues of the greatest sons of our people in time and again he has sought to fulfill lennon's legacy to immortalize the creator of revolutionary. i'm in a state by drawing upon the art of monumental propaganda station purely because while working on his designs campbell read the works of marx he seeks to express the content of revolutionary marxist thought individual for this was the

irrepressible power of the passionate nature of the revolutionary and the scientist . of this. this is a karl marx memorial designed by professor levy a few minutes carol will bear witness to the shared struggle of the working class and labors of the german democratic republic and the soviet union even in the ozone from the moments point it seems to. be the institution key to motionless applause of two hundred fifty thousand residents and guests comrade every hanukah said the day will come when all peoples will of cast off the shackles of exploitation you know they will build a monument to the man who found the key to human liberation captured under the motto workers of the world unite karl marx.

there i heard about him in history class those incidents he wrote about socialism but i don't know why chemists was renamed stott he wasn't a bad or evil man can be the image. size is i don't quite know what he did something to do with communism. but it isn't his job i personally agree with him that company should belong not only to the bosses it's of the workers as well. or much of steve. that's what he's called to my marks on his germany marks his writings were readily available of course of the series with the blue covers i got them from my eighteenth birthday but if like me you interpreted marx in such a way that you then. criticize drilling ideology or the ruling political system things could get a bit difficult for you really top marks on the farm so i started reading marx when i was eighteen i encountered him through my study of him and classical philosophy

my interest in marx was an extension of that in a way to marx is also an inheritor of the classical german philosophical tradition marx and of his own. philosophy. zero i believe mark's very aptly predicted this concentration of capital we see today even of the fact that capitalism is not simply a market economy but also contains a trend toward consolidation the formation of ever larger corporations he understood that this would ultimately destroy productivity that's exactly what we're seeing today in so many areas four or five large companies dominate the market divided up to suit their own interests and then they're no longer as innovation oriented as our current economic system likes to believe. in eighteen forty five prussia demanded that france extradite call monks.

marx decided to emigrate to brussels. a few months later he was joined by. the pair wanted to pave the way for a new problem tarion policy and contacted him viking who had become a leading member of the new league of the just in eight hundred thirty six. marx and engels had the group renamed the communist league and were commissioned to write its policy program. the communist manifesto was published in eighteen forty eight a year of republican revolts against european monarchies. a specter is haunting europe the specter of communism all the powers of old europe have entered into a holy alliance to exercise the specter. like the ruling classes tremble or communistic revolution proletarians have nothing to lose but their change they have a world to win workers of the world unite.

in the one nine hundred fifty nine a young charismatic revolutionary letter faction who overthrew the cuban dictatorship fidel castro then established a socialist republic just off the shores. that bastion of capitalism united states . less than a decade later young people in capitalist countries rose up to oppose their parents' generation fidel castro and che guevara became the idols of the one nine hundred sixty eight student movement most naturally of course we invoked marx when we told ourselves that intellectuals were merely a superstructure from which the revolution couldn't emanate. the revolution we thought would have to emerge from the factory floor. many of us actually went to work in factories for months some for years what we learned from the workers is that they weren't waiting for us to be their salvation. that's when the theory of

false consciousness became popular. the idea that the workers didn't know what they truly needed that they've been seduced by capitalism and that we had to explain to them their true needs and that's when we started to question marks. we cobble together a new idea that consciousness had an important role to play in shaping the revolution . that was almost an marxist in a way because in classical marxism being determines consciousness and your revolution can only be achieved when the conditions of reality force you to imagine it can be done in twenty eight. years and there was something else within marx that's always bothered and repels me within the marxist edifice there is no single sentence that states simply thou shall not kill. escape there is no principle that would forbid you

to kill and kill in large numbers in the name of revolution and believe mention to . desist from this lack of ethics is of course a terrible flaw that's inherent in the entire construction over and over again it's what's caused the edifice to collapse. in my view that spring. good grief what a giant it's huge. jim i'm often just like let's go to the other side. up there. you know. for the

last. month yes some people prefer not to engage with it i was a mayor in the former east germany and i saw how people suffered under marxism leninism how their freedom was taken from them by the constraints that were imposed on them . that's why we have such difficulties with this ideology. let's find out if we agree that the work will be finished around christmas and in january the transport will begin in any small problems we still have will solve by then. it will be. the year that the communist manifesto was published marx was forced to flee brussels and soon ended up back in cologne. he was brought up on charges of inciting the rebellion and acquitted again he was expelled and meanwhile he had also lost his question citizenship and become

stateless. mox and his family went into exile in london. at the time london harbored refugees from all over the world mocks and his family lived in abject poverty. three of the boxes six children died from illness time and again and this came today. with help from an inheritance the mox family could move to a middle class apartment marts then spent much of his time in the british museum's reading room where he worked on his most important manuscript. the first volume appeared in an eight hundred sixty seven copy time capital of political economy. max presented it to his publisher with the words i don't believe anyone has ever written so much about money who has so little of it.

in the u.k. unfortunately we're so used to move with marks and spencers which is a retail brand but because the culture i don't think is developed and i was much about call monsters or should i think there's a little plaque on the house that there is here but i don't believe he wasn't british no two it was he was he might might be german or something that i think most season is clearly a very much a political philosophy the aspects of which are still subscribe to people like jeremy corbin that sort of thing in this country. clearly it's opposed to capitalism and here we are right in the center of capitalism in europe is a real issue i think there's a lot of overseas investment chinese russian money you can drive around areas of north london and they pretty much deserted which is a huge shame and the indigenous population has been forced to. kind of periphery of london if you want to different life unfortunately a few more votes and you can get

a better house bigger house better life maybe also london but it's going to cost a lot of hours of commute so yeah. when i wrote my book since you boy. which is a massive warning about not to do what i did have become a bank for every single e-mail i've got many thousands of e-mails from people from from germany young men saying my ritual book could you get me a job in a bank please they think who cares if you're cheating society if you're earning that kind of money. i don't see what happened in banking as irrational with the financial crisis those guys who invented these false products but exploded a later date they were very rational because they would get

a bonus every year before they were found out. everyone views paul marx quite simply as a discredited ideology you know capitalism won but he still had a lot of interesting things to say about the system we currently live in the alienation it causes how it has possibly the seeds of its own destruction but one possible mistake you made thinking that just because your a member of the working class you will automatically have solidarity with everyone else and you will soon then realize that these capitalists are exposing you and there will be a will global revolution and so forth whereas the reality is that. there are many other things that give that can defy people so grace religion you know other aspects of your football team which city you're in but your country i call

you see anything that is going to replace capitalism any time soon and we're all stuck with it. today many native londoners canary longer afford to live in their own city. but london is still considered one of the when is of neo liberalism and now the capital has become the symbol of the dark side of capitalism. athens after the two thousand and eight global finance crisis greece plunged into an economic depression its fate depended on the decisions of international donors since then the country has been in a permanent state of emergency capitalism brought us excellent new joys and pleasures but the great beauty of pain and poverty and despondency that we have never exceed experienced in the past. the global proletariat has increased that is not true the problem is for the west. the jobs that migrate it

left behind a part of europe that has become steeped in despondency in uncertainty in joblessness in lack of prospects. it's a discussion of issues but that was always a problem with capitalism it generates similar things three months wealth and new forms of or the provision. growing up in greece student dictatorship which banned marx gave me a great incentive to find out about this because you know this with young people you say to them. under no circumstances regret it and then the only thing you want to do is really get beyond that i was extremely eager to understand that. there is a very interesting dichotomy in. capitalist societies according to which the political sphere is the democratized and they cannot mix fear is completely

hierarchical and feudal. boxes view was that you cannot have democracy with a split with evident technological innovation creating columns of scale there is a tendency that the owners of this technology are going to use it you know to the multiple lives power over the rest of us and to deny us the benefits of that knowledge it happened in the second investor pollution it's happening a lot more now with google facebook. and be efficient engines into the base because . it is crucial that instead of losing. these fantastic approaches through one of the ways asian community finds ways of democratizing this the tools that are. effective we produced jointly. bust your boy to believe this and know what we are experiencing today as a transformation in the conditions of production which are blurring the boundaries between production and ordinary everyday activities and we're productive we're

creating value when we carry out an online search on google if you click our many clicks generate profits for google. we don't like to think about it but it's a fact which the socialization of production we have today has taken on a completely new form different from anything marx could have imagined just don't have a logical way of comprehending it yet the stuff. that people in power do whatever's necessary to maintain the status quo which they benefit from don't do what we call quantity meaning they'll just print money they'll put interest rates down to this they'll adapt and there's only taxes whatever's necessary to maintain the system. in eight hundred eighty one comma wife jenny died of cancer. mark struggled to cope with the loss two years later he died in his chair in his london apartment.

perhaps marks intuited that he would have been dismayed by some of the uses to which his writings were put over the years. though mark's remained convinced of his ideas he was famously reported to have said one thing is certain i am not a so-called marxist eat the. hello hello hello hello hello mogs the end of his life marx was convention and a functional democracy something akin to what we now call a social market economy found a guy who cooperate is basis would eventually emerge. entirely peaceful means also a strong current.
