BRICS was never an alliance, but a partnership made by an economist who thought that it would be beneficial for these countries to work together. This completely overlooks geopolitical, strategic and possible economic incompatibility of these countries.
Yes
Exactly.
@@Alehzinhah tbh This guy's take is just as credible as what a history professor could tell you on most things, maybe not on this one but a lot of things. Pretty much everything you hear or have ever heard is fake news, including this video and most of what you believe.
@@Alehzinhah Honestly if you still think undergraduate degrees impart useful knowledge in 2023, may I kindly suggest Peter Zeihan as being more your style.
Honestly, I've always steuggled to even define what the hell the BRICS actually even is on paper. It always seemed to abstract and something never truly reinforced.
the greatest lesson i take from the past decade is to never underestimate the human capacity for self deception.
Or corruption and no accountability ruins everything.

Man's capacity to deceive his fellow man is exceeded only by his capacity to deceive himself.
As I watch Althist's analysis, I realise he actually reads from a diverse source (or atleast his researchers does). I realise from some of his specific references, that he actually keeps a close track on Indian CZcamsr analysis, the english speaking part of it.
It would be great, if he gave credit to them though.
Instead of dismissing everyone who tried to provide some correction to his assumption as "hyper nationalist indian" and actually cared to listen.
But overall reasonable analysis is gicen by whatifalthist.

Being somebody that's interested in getting into welding, may I ask how much math plays a role into your job? I know this is such a weird and probably dumb question but I don't want to invest so much money into getting my education only to be too dumb to get any certifications. Thanks.
@@collinb.8542 Depends on what aspect of welding your'e going to get into. I would say if you can read a tape measure, go for it.
Welders are such a huge deal. This nation may need you if we wind up in a civil conflict or revolution. 3D printing has gotten pretty good, but it still is no match for machining and welding.
As an Brazilian myself, I feel like the most common trope in Brazil’s histories is to face huge institutional/political change, have an economic boom, be called “the country of the future”, then collapse based on its internal contradictions which somehow is never truly able to grow out but only readapt to the era it is in (boiling down in being a highly unequal post slavery society with an tendency to create huge bureaucracies). Then the country will probably enter an decade of stagnation and the circle restarts. Every major phase in our history plays this script: the empire, the first republic, the Vargas Revolution, the second republic, the military dictatorship and the new democracy…
Only issue is now we are aging pretty fast. We won't have an economic boom anymore. It will all be stagnation and depression.
for how many centuries can you be a post-slavery society?
@@ceejay1476 Until you adopt the policies that will restrain inequality, especially racial inequality.

My uncles worked at the BRICS Conferences before, it's more just a platform for discussion or trade, than anything like a Bloc or an alliance really.
People look at it, see Russia and China and have a military bonner, rushing to the conclusion that BRICS is somehow more than a table of discussion
@@apollyon2018 Yeah, your right its a false belief mainly born out of ignorance and face value assertions. It provides a more interesting platform to see the politicking that does go on however, like how third world nations use the threat of collaborating with Russia or China, as a boogey man to achieve concessions from the West, which hey, good for them.

India doesn't have 5000 years of caste system. It would be around 100BC-300 CE when 'Manusmriti' was written. Vedas are older than that. Vedas (1000BC-2000BC) have varna system which depends on one's behaviour. It hasn't to be confused with Manusmriti. Caste System probably originated around 0-500 CE.

As a brazilian myself, it amazes me how to this day many foreigners (and even brazilians) see Brics as an "anti-NATO", or even an economic partnership in any significant way.
It's more than anything a glorified forum, reminiscent of the early 2000s "block mania" when everyone wanted to make their own club,. Not unlike the African Union, the OTS, or any "Community of X Language Countries"
A gente adora torcer pra um time, tá no sangue
@@20thcentury_toy coisa de corno
We indians see it as saying to china that
*" Ok we are enemies but just cause Russia invited us we are here "*
Brics is entirely a power play lead by the CCP. It's explicitly anti NATO from the CCP lead side as it's literally the CCPs Hegemony vs the USs Hegemony and the CCP is attempted to steal the USs Thunder.
The economic side of the equation is rather simple if ones into geopolitcal economics as a past time. The CCP lead BRICS is a pro commodity economic bloc. The WEF side (Western) is a pro finance side. Both sides are vying for power over the other to lead which ever doctrine wins out.
The truth is that the BRICS side wins by default on their theory, but they're self sabotaging because the CCPs innate internal political behavior is not conducive to organic growth. Russia itself is pretty much a Despotic lead Federation and is sanctioned heavily since its invasion of Georgia during the last major economic mealt down.
Iran is just... a crackpot.
And Brazil has notorious corruption issues (you can't hide this. It's obvious).
While the west has major issues with corruption that its better at hiding, its even better that its economic bloc is well established, robust and extremely wealthy. It's taken something as bad as a Joe Biden President and a historically low rated Congress to really drag the US down to a low nearly as bad as the late 70s.
China, Russia, Iran, Brazil, they all do not have the economic stock to survive major dips once connected. A lot of that rests squarely on China which is probably the biggest liar in the world in terms of its economic health. Since 2015, their economy has been propped up mostly by propaganda and data manipulation. This has lead the potentially dominance of BRICS dead in the water before they even left port because each nation is just individually not in a peer to peer match for the WEF aligned states.
However that said, the WEF igned states are currently going full retard on purpose because believe it or not, Klaus Schwab (who leads the WEF as its his brain child) is actually very interested in the CCPs style of economic governance. He directly praises Xi's State Capitalist structure over the Free Market Capitalist structure of the traditional west. What he proposes is an advanced form that's in line with Xi's Communist Theory (he's written several) that he calls 'Stake Holder Capitalism' which is the aim of Xi in China. The idea is the supplant the world's sovereign nations with an umbrella order that he quite literally named the New Liberal World Order and that forum will have Technocrats that lead a super national totalitarian technocracy.
The only difference between his idea and the CCPs is that the CCP is exclusively Sinocentric and affective racist. They're nationalist so all their theories declare them being the head of the Global Hegemonic State in a form of Sino-supremacy.
Western Leaders seems to be ok with that because so long as they get their slice of the pie, they don't care. That's why ESG exists, to keep their approval within the new order rather it be the WEFs idea or the CCPs.
With the West following such destructive policies as ESG, SEL, CRT, CQT and more, there is a chance BRICS can succeed because despite their fascistic habits locally, they do tend to favor actual scientific study and results where as the ESG, SEL ecf models do not. The ideological gnosticism of the leaders of the West can be their downfall, allowing the CCP and Russia some leverage to rebound - although I don't see this happening by a long shot.
That said, the BRICs vs the West fight has been and always was a geopolitical power play by China and close allies, Russia and Iran. Even now, Russia and India along with Iran are rekindling partnerships to secure that isolated, parallel commodity base economic bloc by revisiting seriously the Persian canal project that would build a trade traffic capable canal from the coast and through Tehran, all the way to the Caspian Sea, bypassing the western hegemonic grasp at the Strait of Harmuz. They are still trying to make it work and the obvious decoupling between the two major blocs is on purpose, part of that power play.
It'll likely still fail spectacularly but the incompetence and dogmatic nature of the Western leaders to keep their virtue in this gnostic cancer of Neo Marxisf origin could make the competition close regardless.

Why ? Because Brazil is a deeply corrupt country where contracts are not respected and law enforcement is almost non-existent.
Moved to Brazil in 2014, lived there for 7 years. Horrifying and heartbreaking how their economy unravelled and stayed that way, bordering on social apocalypse with COVID. But the more I learned about the culture, the more it made sense. My programmer friends were unusually smart and capable, but seemed to get fired every few months. Managers saw them as a threat and did everything to get rid of them, while venerating incompetents. A typical office was full of people just talking and goofing off all day, and the busiest person there was bound to be kicked out. Most of them are now outsourcing to the US. The reason Brazil seemingly cannot compete internationally in anything but commodities is quite simple - their work culture just doesn't value talent or human capital. It's sad, because a lot of Brazilians bought into the whole BRICS thing, believing that they would automatically become millionaires.
You summarized it pretty well. Brazil has a great potential and Brazilian people are extremely creative but the culture of laziness and jealousy impedes the country to compete internationally expect in small irrelevant things. If the culture changes the country changes, but this is uncertain to happen.
@@lorenzodeagostini8941 Thank you for the response. I want Brazil to do well, I really do. I like it in many ways, and would not have lived there for 7 years if I didn't. And as you point out, one of the things I genuinely love about Brazil is its creativity. The way they just do little things to turn problems into solutions. But I believe this will only start to benefit the country as a whole when Brazilians start to orient themselves to the international market. Like my brilliant programmer friends did when they gave up on Brazilian companies and outsourced to the US.
@@bennettbullock9690 All very similar problems to many countries around the world. We have a similar problem in eastern Europe, but perhaps just slightly less pronounced. Another thing true here, that I wouldn't be shocked is true in most other developing countries is horrible generational wealth transfer
What I mean is this. Many people come from poor backgrounds, and they dream about earning more money any way possible, so they can share with their relatives, act as a savior and of course spoil their kids rotten. When building wealth, entrepreneurs face certain "filters" as I call them. The first one is not to overspend after initial success, and the next one is not to throw meritocracy out of the window and stuff your company with friends and relatives.
Yet, that is exactly what happens in developing countries. A successful entrepreneur is seen as a savior of a family, and is expected to uplift everyone else. As a consequence everyone around him becomes lazy, unproductive and lacks any initiative of their own. Many parents build companies specifically because they want to employ their kids there, as they want to avoid them having to go through hardship. All of this usually goes horribly wrong as soon as the initial hard working founder retires or more likely dies. Offspring and relatives start scratching their heads, as they cannot for the life of them figure out what made the company tick till recently.
People in developing countries need to become more what is perceived as selfish. Keep the spoils for yourself, invest into business, do help your kids, but don't hold their hand and don't be patronizing to them.
@@julius43461 That is an excellent point you make about the dynamics of family businesses. In Brazil something like 70% of large enterprises are family-owned. Anyway, thank you for your perspective.

Basically:
Brazil: stagnation, not living up to the potential given in the early 2000s
Russia: same as Brazil
India: best performing out of the BRICS, frustratingly slow but steady progress, though it has it's own challenges ahead (i.e China trying to ensure people don't ally with them economically and militarily)
China: significantly fast improvement in short time, but also a significant amount of challenges in the long-term that would make China stagnate
South Africa: Poorest performing of the BRICS, and ahead of Brazil in this department; nothing really much to say - lot's of improvements needed.

The Ukraine conflict is solidifying some of these country's political/trade connections - and the '90s East Asian financial crisis is an object lesson for the financial side but this dude wasn't born yet.

@@joe-ev3uw 1. They are some of the best performing economies, globally.
2. The Russia/Ukraine conflict, particularly the western sanctions has presented trade opportunities and potential for further political alignment and market integration - albeit with some new tensions/challenging aspects 3. Success vs. Failure is a stupid way of looking at it (no one's talking about actual state failure - i.e. Libya now or Somalia in the 00 - are they?).
4.

30:28 actually in India (before the British rule ) India had a system where anyone can grow crops anywhere however he must pay some amount of that crop to the king. And as like India is the best to grow crops (that's why it still agriculture driven) the poor people atleast had food. That's why Indian poor people don't revolt much. Unlike french revolution or Russian revolution where even basic necessities like bread weren't even being supplied. And now it has becomed a culture. Like people really don't care about government policies. I am sure so that even educated people won't protest if their is massive unemployment. They would rather live with their families (communally) or become immigrants for USA and Canada.
Actually, pre British Empires tax rates on Indian farmers was very high. The idea was to keep farmers at subsistence levels. Mughal tax rates ranged from 33 percent to 50 percent. This was true of the Maratha Empire and Sikh Empire too. It is just that since India was a grain superpower, the cost of grain in India was quite low. So even if most Indians were poor, cost of living was cheap. Wait...that is true even today, compared to other parts of the World. Nothing has changed much for the last 500 years.
That's called "feudalism"

As a Canadian I agree with your comments about us. Back in the 2010 we were doing exceptional well compared to everyone else in the 2008 crisis due to a government who was actually some fiscally competent. Since 2015 we have been subjected to Trudeau who was not qualified to be prime minister (except for the last name) and seems to just get worse with experience (especially in regards to economics). The most common memory I hear from people who cheered the truckers as the drove through the nation was that they had not realized until that moment how long it had been since the felt proud/grateful to be a Canadian.

The U.S. has been experiencing below -3% annual GDP growth rate, and it fluctuated between 1.5% to 2.5%, never exceeding 2.9% from 2010 to 2020. Any growth, like what communist nations are seeing is impressive, especially considering the U.S. led sanctions placed on certain nations. It's therefore flagrantly disingenuous or conveniently ignorant to imply that their low annual GDP rates are indicative of poor potential. Depending on one's resources is hardly, "looking to make a quick profit." By most standards, that's referred to as self-sufficiency. Not every nation can afford the luxury the U.S. has of flippantly squandering their resources for the benefit of a few financial elites while a hodgepodge Byzantine labyrinth of paper asset commodities, military ("defense") industrial complex, and insurance corporations parasitically leech off of the taxpayers to produce an annual budget payment that supports the continued abuse of power.

As someone who is way older than 21-I was in grad school when BRIC became a thing-no one, literally no one, argued they would take over the world. There was a lot of optimism about emerging markets at the time. Then those four (SA got tacked on later) started thinking about forming joint development bank. This turned out mainly to be China since they were the only ones with surplus capital. So that didn’t go far. That’s it. They all have an interest in diversifying the system of global governance. They still do. But no one takes BRICS seriously. No one ever has. But just pointing out that each of the countries has issues totally misses the point which is that there is a lot of interest in a global order that is not dominated by the west. The conditions aren’t there for a change (and Russia has always been the drunk guy who ruins the party as it is doing right now). But those conditions will evolve and China, mainly, wants to be positioned to take advantage of that.
is this person really 21?
This person as in me? I’m
50. As for mister whatifist, I’m surprised and not. Definitely a smart and confident guy who sounds older. But also that much confidence is a symptom of youth.

You’re right about the EU being an extension of the American empire, in that the concept of empire is extremely difficult to pin down when democracy and anti-imperialist ideology gets introduced to the political mainstream of the core of the empire.
The fact is that the American empire has four main levers of influence; economic, cultural, military, and political
The EU is by is very nature an economic and political structure taking inspiration from the structure of the US political system.
Even if the US isn’t directly responsible for its existence, it’s hard to deny it goes hand in hand with American intrests, complimenting NATO in its function.
The EU itself does help the countries stand up to the US by giving us a single voice, but don’t be fooled into believing that the US doesn’t benefit from a single voice either.
It’s like how employers in the Nordics are happy with the existence of trade unions, since it gives them someone to negotiate with. Especially since the demands are reasonable in the first place.
The US is directly responsible for the EU. It's an American project going back to the EC after WWII and then the ECM.

I remember that BRICS ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) from my trading days. I actually made a decent profit (almost doubled my investment) on that BRICS ETF. ETF’s can be bought and sold like stocks, allowing hobby investors to buy into diversified funds without having to pay fees, like you would have to pay if you bought into a mutual fund or similar.
Everyone thought the BRICS were going to become the ultimate powerhouse emerging economy. As a result the fund appreciated massively but it’s probably not worth much anymore.
It was the shitcoin of international markets, lmao.
Great overview of the situation of these countries.
One thing that I did want to note was that culture is not destiny. Culture does matter far more than what the intelligentsia would like to give it credit for, but it's more of a reflection of the past and is only a short term predictor of the future. Often, what can be seen as a cultural tendency for 'laziness' or 'work ethic' is more of a reflection of the incentives and situation that people are subject to. Namely the presence or lack of government, rule of law, property rights, and corruption. People have no reason to work if their hard work will be taken away, innovators have no reason to invent if their inventions will be stolen and copied. The resource curse is a curse because it feeds a corrupt government. Blaming the malaise of the Brazilian economy on Latin culture is not entirely wrong, but it cannot explain the divergent paths of different latin american economies after their independence.

I believe culture may have play a larger than expected. In a country called Malaysia, the majority of population Malay were the one to receive most welfare and government job oppoturnity. But most of them are generally poor, lazy, inferior in higher education as professional, prefer to spend more money rather than hoarding.
While the Malaysia chinese, that have been born in Malaysia for more than three generations, who receive no specific welfare like Malay had, are generally more rich, hardworking, taking position in most professional field (such as doctor), and own most companies in Malaysia.
In Malaysia, corruption is common and yet the Chinese is hardworking. The chinese receive no specific support from government and yet they perform better than Malay.
And the biggest cultural difference between Malay and Chinese is that Malay prefer to enjoy life more than the Chinese do. And malay generally do not like hoarding money like the Chinese, which of course will cause many troubles later on in their life. There was even a time where government run an education campaign to tell the public to have money hoarding habit.
it could be that both these things prop up the other. the culture of low work ethic and corruption worsens the ability for a stable and prosperous government to get into power, so the corrupt government makes hard work not pay off, which culturally makes people value work ethic even less, which causes the government to struggle even more to get value.
sure culture isn't an end all, but they drive us more than we'd like to think sometimes.

1. India's vehemently opposed to BRI & CPEC. It's not just not a party to BRI, but has decried it on several int'l fora as an exploitative debt trap.
2. SCO does not have a mutual defence agreement & thus India & China are not allies. For context, Pakistan is also a member of SCO. Would that make India & Pakistan allies?
3. India's military purchases & relationship with "China's partner Russia" don't make it a China ally. Same as how Vietnam's military purchases from Russia don't make it a China ally. An important reason for India's relationship with Russia is to keep it as a counterbalance to China in Asia in the long run.

Calling Brics dead is an overstatement. You have to be alive to be called dead. It was never a financial framework established, just empty hype and disgruntle rhetoric about dollar dominance. Not one country in Brics has committed an economic policy towards the development of Brics over its 20 years existence. These countries can say let's have free trade or flat rate tariffs or even a flat exchange rate. They won't because their government loves capitalism. It would suck to have sold something below market value just because you're obligated to do so.
To defeat the dollar, your government has to not care about capital controls which comes with political risks, have an export and import market deep enough to absorb price changes, transparency in your financial system, your currency has to be convertible, have major internal consumer spending, last have financial institutions separated from the government meddling in political sensitive times.
