  • Written and directed by Raoul Peck, "The Young Karl Marx" follows a 26-year-old writer, researcher and radical named Karl Marx as he embarks, with his wife Jenny, on the road to exile in an age that has created both new prosperity and new problems. In Paris in 1844 they meet young Friedrich Engels, the well-to-do son of a factory owner whose studies and research has exposed the poor wages and worse conditions of the new English working class. Together, between censorship and police raids, riots and political upheavals, they will preside over the birth of the labor movement turning far-flung and unorganized idealists and dreamers into a united force with a common goal.

      Peck ought to consider doing a non fiction film based on The Gulag Archipelago, by Solzhenitsyn. He won the Nobel Peace Prize. It really ties into the policies of Lenin that led to the gulags. The marxist online library is a great resource. Thank you.

    “The world feels crazy and ignorant. That’s the worst part.” R. Peck
    Amen, brother. Amen.
    This is one of my favorite interviews from this series. Few interruptions. The interviewer asked good questions and then let the director speak to complete his very elaborate and thoughtful responses. It was calming to my mind and required my full attention. Thanks for that.
    And thanks Mr Peck for the simple idea of having tools to structure the mind. This is helpful to me.

    And at last ends the age of cant.
    Away with all your superstitions
    Servile masses arise, arise
    We’ll change henceforth the old tradition
    And spurn the dust to win the prize.

    I saw this movie and liked it very much. I read Marx and numerous other philosophers while I was a student. But I'd not seen prior to Peck's film a movie which focused on men of ideas, and on their ideas, without becoming pedantic and boring.

    35:40 Host: "because the State bailed out the market, it doesn't have any money for communities..."
    Mr. Peck: "the State is us; we pay taxes..."
    discussion about the State bailing out financial sectors, upper class after a catastrophe.
    We pay taxes as homage to our State; yes, it should be help responsible for providing for our general Welfare. To be clear, our federal taxes do not fund federal spending. Those dollars we pay to the IRS are deleted from existence. The real bottleneck is Congress is not being held to their responsibility of writing legislation that sends the $ the Public's way.

    The most brilliant aspect of this movie, very intentionally based on this interview, is the portrait of an intellectual culture. Marx had a lot of good ideas, and some very bad ones- I would almost like to see a sequel detailing the disagreement between Marx and Bakunin about the idea of a proletarian dictatorship. But he was only one of a generation of brilliant thinkers who had a rich culture of debate, discussion and analysis. It's that organic, working class intellectual culture we desperately need today, with all its contesting ideologies and internal disputes. We need to educate ourselves and one another.

    As a life-long student of the great political economists, I came to conclude that Marx's analysis is incorrect. He was certainly right to condemn the factory system and the laws that permitted employers to pay subsistence wages or employ children. He was wrong in concluding that "capitalism" had replaced all of the relations of feudalism. The people of almost every society continued to be oppressed by landed elites, many of whom had invested the rents from land into various forms of enterprise attached to which were protections of monopoly and exploitation secured by the police powers of the state.
    A rough timeline of societal evolution can be run from the Crusades on to the present. The Crusades opened the Mediterranean to widespread commerce, which required hard money and the establishment of banks as intermediaries. Feudalism's relations based on mutual obligation eroded as the lords demanded cash rather than crops as ground rent and taxes. Peasant agriculture gave way to commercial agribusiness and absentee owners hiring managers to raise cattle and sheep. To the longstanding system of agrarian landlordism was added commercial landlordism, to which was added industrial and financial landlordism. The world's societies came to be dominated by rentier elites, owning not just the factories and machines but the land on which all depended.

      he didnt conclude that capitalism had replaced all feudal relationships ya dingus. he said that elements of feudal society existed in capitalism as elements of capitalist society would exist in the transition to communism. Lenin compiles all this in The State and Revolution. read a book

    A very interesting personality. The first two parts of the video where he is explaining his film and the thinking of Marx are excellent. When the discussion starts Raul Peck is exposing his ignorance about Russia, about China, about Gorbatschow etc. He doesn't know that Gorbatschow today is hated in Russia because he was a traitor acting as an instrument of US-imperialism. What he says about Stalin, Trotzky, Mao is the script of the Pentagon, is exactly the shit we learned at our schools and universities. What he says about Putin is bullshit. Without Putin we would already be in the middle of WWIII. China is socialistic with Chinese characteristics because it is the party that is controlling the army not the other way round as in the US. And the big industries and banks are controlled by the Party not by individuals or billionaires. That's a pity.
