Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to another episode of the Mark
Speaker 1: Moa Show where we talk about the decentralized revolution. We
Speaker 1: talked about the the converging cycles of politics, technology and finance,
Speaker 1: and how technology changes the world as we know. Of course,
Speaker 1: the technological revolution we're talking about is bitcoin, and it's
Speaker 1: changing every aspect of our lives, which is gives me
Speaker 1: plenty of stuff to talk about, never ending amount of
Speaker 1: stuff to talk about, especially when I bring on some
Speaker 1: other people to help me share this information discuss the information,
Speaker 1: like my good friend Alex Spetzky, who's with in the
Speaker 1: studio with me today. Welcome Alex. Thanks man. It's been
Speaker 1: a long time since I've been in l A. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: we've we've done We've done several shows. I've had you
Speaker 1: on the radio show many times. Um, But the first
Speaker 1: time we've been together in the l A studio pretty cool.
Speaker 1: It's a little different being in the studio, get a
Speaker 1: little bit of different energy. Is I feel I feel
Speaker 1: professional for once in my life. This This is actually
Speaker 1: the second time I've walked into a studio. The first
Speaker 1: time I walked into a studio was I did a
Speaker 1: podcast with Sean Purio. If you heard of my first
Speaker 1: million like a podcast. It's pretty well known podcast. It
Speaker 1: was in Silicon Valley and I remember walking in there.
Speaker 1: I was like, whoa, this is cool and it's kind
Speaker 1: of got that the sound like it's really interesting. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the sound in here is cool. It just like sucks
Speaker 1: the sound right out of here, which is nice. Um,
Speaker 1: when I recorded my office studio, something like a little
Speaker 1: bit of echo and reaver. But it's cool. But I
Speaker 1: want to dig into some some some fun stuff today. UM,
Speaker 1: So a couple of things. One, I want to talk
Speaker 1: about something that maybe people you know bitcoin, Um, it
Speaker 1: permeates every layer of society and so like there's almost
Speaker 1: an intersection of everything, and so we can almost take
Speaker 1: any subject and then trace it back. But today we'll
Speaker 1: look at um, we'll look at Larry Fink from Black
Speaker 1: Rock said that the Russia Ukraine conflict could be the
Speaker 1: end of globalism. I've been talking about this end of centralization,
Speaker 1: of moving to decentralization. Of course bitcoin is helping to
Speaker 1: usher that in. So we'll chase that down. Well, then
Speaker 1: we'll dive into the catalyst behind that, maybe what some
Speaker 1: of things putin said, um, some things into socialism, communism,
Speaker 1: we haven't maybe thought about, and then into um the
Speaker 1: Communist Manifesto where it started, and then we'll talk about
Speaker 1: a book that we just wrote called The Uncommunist Manifesto.
Speaker 1: And if you're just tuning in, you can always just
Speaker 1: jump ahead and check that out uncommunist dot com if
Speaker 1: you want to see this new book that we just wrote.
Speaker 1: So well, we'll talk about it from the high level
Speaker 1: all the way down into the book, and we'll talk
Speaker 1: about communism, socialism and what what that means in the
Speaker 1: world today. So a lot of stuff. So the first
Speaker 1: thing I want to talk about, Alex is um. Obviously
Speaker 1: there's the current thing. You're wearing a shirt that says
Speaker 1: I support the current thing. Uh, And the current thing
Speaker 1: right now is supporting Ukraine apparently apparently that or just
Speaker 1: arbitruarily hating Russians like pick poison. Yeah, we gotta support
Speaker 1: whatever whatever the current thing is now. You know, it's
Speaker 1: interesting when you say that's the hating Russians. You know,
Speaker 1: you look back at any war that we've ever had,
Speaker 1: like no people ever really hate the other people. It's
Speaker 1: just the leaders that get into this battle. They try
Speaker 1: to drum us up through nash realism. To get us like,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know you're from Australia, but um, I'm
Speaker 1: sure the sports fanatics are the same they're that they
Speaker 1: are in the US. So it's like our team and
Speaker 1: we won, and we did this, right, You didn't do
Speaker 1: anything he was seeing at home watching the TV. You've
Speaker 1: probably never even played the sport. Yeah, you know, I've
Speaker 1: never played whatever. I've never played basketball. But all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like my team and we did this
Speaker 1: kind of thing, and so they use this nationalism to
Speaker 1: get us on the team and to hate the other team.
Speaker 1: But the reality is, you know, we didn't hate the Germans,
Speaker 1: we didn't hate the Iraqis, and we don't hate Russians,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure Russians don't hate us unless they're getting
Speaker 1: caught up in the same nationalism. Probably do you think
Speaker 1: they use nationalism in that way? I mean, that's a
Speaker 1: tough one because the thing is you need to have
Speaker 1: lived in Russia to to really experience that. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying overall, like globally, governments using nationalism to try
Speaker 1: to kind of drum up that support. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I I didn't think i'd give a valid answer to
Speaker 1: them perhaps, but I'm not sure if there's a I
Speaker 1: feel like incessant, constant brainwashing is something that's a little
Speaker 1: bit more And again I could be completely wrong on this,
Speaker 1: but if I feel like that's more a function of
Speaker 1: the West because we have such a media, um, a
Speaker 1: media culture, like we're always being bombarded by something, whereas
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the same of it. Well,
Speaker 1: the thing is is when it comes to war, and
Speaker 1: I don't want to spend a much time in the
Speaker 1: world wild jump pass this, but when it comes to war,
Speaker 1: is that I will I will defend my home until
Speaker 1: the end, right, I will defend my homeland until the end.
Speaker 1: But if I don't have that attachment to my home,
Speaker 1: if I'm a paid actor, if I'm a paid uh mercenary,
Speaker 1: I'm never going to have that same passion. And so
Speaker 1: in order to go to war, they have to get
Speaker 1: people to buy into that my homeland, my home. Right
Speaker 1: otherwise you're just a paid mercenary and you'll just run
Speaker 1: first sort of first chance of adversary maybe, um, but
Speaker 1: but if we jump into that. So there's something that
Speaker 1: I shared with you earlier in the week, and I've
Speaker 1: been talking a lot about as I said the intro
Speaker 1: of this decentralized revolution. So the world has this pendulum
Speaker 1: has been swinging towards centralization, globalism, globalization, and now the
Speaker 1: pendulum is about to swing back. Larry Fink, the CEO
Speaker 1: of Black Rock, said that this this could be the
Speaker 1: end of globalism. And if we look at the war
Speaker 1: on globalism, so if we start there, there's been this trend,
Speaker 1: the pendulum swing of globalism. And I shared something this
Speaker 1: week and it was that October. Well, right, now there's
Speaker 1: a concerted effort by the world to get Puttin out
Speaker 1: of office. We saw President Biden go on TV and say,
Speaker 1: we gotta get him out of here. He cannot stay.
Speaker 1: There's something that effect regime change. Now, why why would
Speaker 1: we need to get rushed out? Well, he came in
Speaker 1: and he did mean things. Right, He's attacking Ukrainians. That's
Speaker 1: that's not right, and I'm not for that. Let's let's
Speaker 1: let the record state that I am not for war
Speaker 1: and killing people. But what's interesting is if we go
Speaker 1: to October eighteenth, Russian President Vladimir Putin went went and
Speaker 1: delivered a speech to Davos to the European Central Bank
Speaker 1: akers and he basically said, we want no part of
Speaker 1: your globalism. And he said that, um, he said, we
Speaker 1: see the amusement, the paralysis unfolding in countries that have
Speaker 1: grown accustomed to viewing themselves as the flagship of progress.
Speaker 1: So people that think they're the flagship of progress, they
Speaker 1: have these problems. Of course, it's none of our business.
Speaker 1: But the social and cultural shocks that are happening in
Speaker 1: some of the western countries, and he's talking about this
Speaker 1: woke is m He said. The recipes they come up
Speaker 1: with are nothing new. The Bolsheviks followed the dogmas of
Speaker 1: marks and ingles, and they also declared that they would
Speaker 1: go into the change the traditional lifestyle, the political, the
Speaker 1: economic lifestyle, as well as the very notion of morality
Speaker 1: and the basic principles for a healthy society. They were
Speaker 1: trying to destroy age old century long values, revisiting the
Speaker 1: relationship between the people. They were encouraging informing of one's
Speaker 1: own beloved and families. It was held as a march
Speaker 1: of progress, and it was very popular. It was supported
Speaker 1: by many, and as we see, it is happening again
Speaker 1: right now. So what are these uh, what are these teachings?
Speaker 1: The Bolsheviks came up with from Marx and ingles that
Speaker 1: you think that are being revived that we've seen have
Speaker 1: a history of of death of destruction. I mean the
Speaker 1: big one is group identities and and group identity politics,
Speaker 1: Like you know, this idea of oppressed or oppressed, and
Speaker 1: you know everyone's oppressed by someone, and you know that
Speaker 1: this incessant encroachment of rights with a complete disregard to
Speaker 1: responsibilities which sit on the other side of the leger
Speaker 1: to rights. You know. But before I take into that,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to mention something about you know, you
Speaker 1: said Larry Fink pointed out that this could be the
Speaker 1: end of globalism. I mean it's that's almost kind of
Speaker 1: like stating that, you know, someone throws a brick through
Speaker 1: a window and then pointing out that now the wind
Speaker 1: is going to get in. Like it's kind of a
Speaker 1: pretty evident thing. So you know that the fact that
Speaker 1: Larry Fink has stated it, I mean, you know, for them,
Speaker 1: I don't think they really care. They're just going to
Speaker 1: position themselves in whatever manner that helps them, because I
Speaker 1: don't think girl is a friend of the people anyway. Um,
Speaker 1: but you know, the the the end of globalism is
Speaker 1: going to happen whether we want it or not, because
Speaker 1: the larger the system gets, the more ossified it becomes,
Speaker 1: and as a result, the more fragile it is, so
Speaker 1: so it'll it'll break under some sort of tension or pressure.
Speaker 1: And the thing is like, you can't unless you completely
Speaker 1: kill a living system, you can't sterilize it, like you
Speaker 1: can't just be fixed. Um. And as soon as you
Speaker 1: kind of fix everything in the system and like you know, structure,
Speaker 1: and it's like globalism and we're all the same, we're
Speaker 1: all going to do the same thing, like something's going
Speaker 1: to give. Um. So I've always said that the question
Speaker 1: is like we're going to move back to a more
Speaker 1: fragmented world. Are we going to have the world fall
Speaker 1: on top of us and have nothing left like, or
Speaker 1: we're going to kind of consciously try and move towards
Speaker 1: you know, more conscious, localized world and all that sort
Speaker 1: of stuff, like are we going to actually focus on
Speaker 1: cleaning up our own room instead of telling what telling
Speaker 1: other people what they should do with every It's like
Speaker 1: a good point. Um Putin said something else here that
Speaker 1: I want to dig into, um that I think is
Speaker 1: kind of foretelling it actually adds to exactly what you're saying. UM,
Speaker 1: and I want to read another one of Putin's quote
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about why this speech October eighteenth
Speaker 1: probably lead to where we're at today. I'm in the
Speaker 1: studio with Alex Fetzki. UM. We're talking about the wars
Speaker 1: rush of Ukraine, what this really means for globalism, UM, communism,
Speaker 1: and then we're talking about our book that we just wrote.
Speaker 1: It's called the uncommunst Manifesto. You can find on Uncommunist
Speaker 1: dot com. Uncommunist dot com. If you're listening to the
Speaker 1: Mark Mos Show, will be right back with more. Do
Speaker 1: not go away, all right, welcome back. You are listening
Speaker 1: to the Mark Ma Show. We're talking about the decentralized
Speaker 1: revolution that is changing the world right before our very eyes.
Speaker 1: Of course bitcoin being the catalyst for that, UM, but
Speaker 1: we're talking about something on a bigger level today that
Speaker 1: we're diving into. I'm in the studio with my good
Speaker 1: friend Alex Fetzky. Him and I just released a book
Speaker 1: this last week called the Uncommunist Manifesto. We took the
Speaker 1: Communist Manifesto and we rewrote it. UM. It's an easy book.
Speaker 1: It's an easy book to read. We'd love free to
Speaker 1: support it. Check it out at Uncommunist dot com. Uncommunist
Speaker 1: dot com check that out. But Alex, you were saying
Speaker 1: before the break that it's, uh, you can't sterilize this.
Speaker 1: These systems and a lot of these problems come from that,
Speaker 1: and so m Another piece that he said here was
Speaker 1: he said that some people believe that this is this
Speaker 1: is putin quote from putin Um given a speech at
Speaker 1: the World that comic for him. He said, some people
Speaker 1: leave that the aggressive blotting out of whole pages of
Speaker 1: your own history. The affirmative action and the interest of minorities,
Speaker 1: and the requirement to renounce the traditional interpretation of such
Speaker 1: basic values as mother, father, family and the distinction between
Speaker 1: sexes are a milestone and a renewal of renewal of society.
Speaker 1: So that's the that makes me think of what you
Speaker 1: just said, the sterilization is that is that kind of
Speaker 1: what you're thinking about. When you try to do that,
Speaker 1: you get rid of all that history that sterilizes it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it does. I mean, you know, when there's a I
Speaker 1: don't know who said this or whether I made it
Speaker 1: up or whatever, but like when everything matters. Nothing matters.
Speaker 1: So it's like you say, when you're when you're when
Speaker 1: you're too busy, that's a lack of priorities. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: so it's like everything is losing meaning. Um, and you know,
Speaker 1: we kind of live in this morass of moral relativity
Speaker 1: where like nothing is fixed, nothing is objective, everything is subjective,
Speaker 1: nothing means anything, and it's like that there's no there's
Speaker 1: no rooting, there's no grounding to anything. And in doing so, yeah,
Speaker 1: you you actually you kill off that which was naturally
Speaker 1: like kind of you know, you perceive things as dirty
Speaker 1: because they're kind of fixed in a place. Now it's
Speaker 1: like nothing means anything. So like now that nothing everything
Speaker 1: means something, so that nothing means anything, so let's just
Speaker 1: get rid of it all. And it's kind of like
Speaker 1: a movement towards nihilism and like hopelessness. It's it's it's weird.
Speaker 1: But I want to dig into the what he talks about. Okay, uh.
Speaker 1: First off, so he made this speech in October to
Speaker 1: the world that coming for him, saying we want none
Speaker 1: of what you're doing. We see what you're doing to
Speaker 1: the west wokesm um. As he says here that's breaking
Speaker 1: down mother, father, family, distincts between sexes, all that we
Speaker 1: don't want any of that. Now, this is very similar
Speaker 1: to a speech that Donald Trump gave in Davos in
Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen. We don't want globalism, We reject that.
Speaker 1: And Donald Trump became enemy number one, and al Putin
Speaker 1: gave a very similar speech, and now all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: he's enemy number one in the world. Surprise, surprise, Yeah, surprise, surprise.
Speaker 1: Do you think there's any correlation there? Of course, I
Speaker 1: mean at the end of the day that this is.
Speaker 1: This is again like what was saying earlier about like
Speaker 1: the fragmentation of the world, Like the best way to
Speaker 1: deal with things in the world and in lash is
Speaker 1: just deal with yourself first. Like this is the Jordan
Speaker 1: Peter esque thing, right, is like clean your room and
Speaker 1: stop running around telling everyone else to do with with
Speaker 1: what to do with their room. And that's the problem
Speaker 1: with these kind of like weff like you know, WF
Speaker 1: the characters and these DeVos characters, is like they project
Speaker 1: their own lack of self control and self restraint on
Speaker 1: everyone else, and as such, they believe that they are
Speaker 1: the saviors who have come to control us all because
Speaker 1: without them, you and I won't know what to do,
Speaker 1: like we we don't know how to make decisions, like
Speaker 1: we can't feed ourselves, we don't know how to clothe ourselves.
Speaker 1: We wouldn't know where to work, like, so we must
Speaker 1: have them to build structures for us. You know, it's
Speaker 1: just it's it's weird, man, And you know putting is like, hey,
Speaker 1: I don't want anything to do with this, Like we've
Speaker 1: done pretty well over the last years since the wall
Speaker 1: came down, like we've rebuilt this country. Um. And to
Speaker 1: his credit, he hasn't like bent over for them. But
Speaker 1: there's a price to pad. I guess yeah, and specifically, Um,
Speaker 1: we'll dig into this piece back with us. I already
Speaker 1: read it. Um. He talked about the Bolsheviks. He said,
Speaker 1: the recipes they come up with are nothing new. The
Speaker 1: Bolsheviks followed the dogmas of marks and ingles. I wanna
Speaker 1: talk about that right there, so um they He originally
Speaker 1: talked about the blotting out of history. So even if
Speaker 1: history is bad, we shouldn't blot it out because we
Speaker 1: should learn from good and bad. But even if it's bad,
Speaker 1: we should still know about it so we don't repeat it. Um,
Speaker 1: those who don't know history abound to repeat it. But
Speaker 1: he said, but but Russia specifically went through a very
Speaker 1: bad time in the nineteen hundreds because of the Bolsheviks revolution.
Speaker 1: Arguably they were the first to experience this that we're
Speaker 1: experiencing now, right. Hundreds of well not hundreds, I think
Speaker 1: it was a or fifty million people died. Sometimes to
Speaker 1: count that, ye who knows how to even count that?
Speaker 1: But so, so he has this experience of hindsight, like,
Speaker 1: hang on, hang on, hang on. Last time, these same ideas,
Speaker 1: as he calls it, the Bolsheviks followed the dogmas of
Speaker 1: marks and ingles. They declared they would go in to
Speaker 1: change the traditional lifestyle and the political and economic lifestyle.
Speaker 1: So he said, last time we saw this happened. It
Speaker 1: led to the Bolshock Revolution, and it was not good
Speaker 1: for Russia. And we spent whatever seventy eight years going
Speaker 1: through that. And now to your point, the last years
Speaker 1: we've been able to build this back up. Why would
Speaker 1: we go do that same thing again? Makes no sense?
Speaker 1: So let's talk about that. Let's talk about the dogmas
Speaker 1: of marks and ingles and trying to change traditional lifestyle,
Speaker 1: politics and economical lifestyle. Because that's what we just wrote.
Speaker 1: We were just we we took the Marks and Ingles book,
Speaker 1: which is the Communist Manifesto, was written in the late
Speaker 1: seventeen hundred, about hundreds and five years ago. We rewrote it.
Speaker 1: It's called the Uncommunist Manifesto. You can check it out
Speaker 1: uncommunist dot com. So we spent a lot of time
Speaker 1: reading this book, dissecting it, and rewriting it. So let's
Speaker 1: talk about that. The dogmas and marks and ingles traditional lifestyle,
Speaker 1: politics and economic lifestyles. What does what does that mean? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean we're in that book or what are the dogmas?
Speaker 1: I guess the dog mizzole kind of revolve around this
Speaker 1: um a couple of key ideas, right, So you've got
Speaker 1: the oppressed and oppressed, and you know, apparently all of
Speaker 1: history is just the story of one oppressure and one
Speaker 1: oppressed class whatever that means. UM kind of ignored the
Speaker 1: fact that we're always struggling against everything. Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: if that's the case, then you know you must hate
Speaker 1: yourself because you've also oppressed yourself in the past, because
Speaker 1: you know, you struggle against your future self, your past self,
Speaker 1: like all that sort of stuff. So we're always struggling
Speaker 1: against something, But that's kind of one of the things.
Speaker 1: But I think the more pernicious idea is even this,
Speaker 1: like this arbitrary classification of what Marks an Engles called
Speaker 1: the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, which they kind of at
Speaker 1: some point, like drew a line is kind of like
Speaker 1: really vague line that is open to interpretation of whoever
Speaker 1: the representatives or rulers are, which is the bourgeois is
Speaker 1: someone with capital or property, and the proletaria is supposed
Speaker 1: to be the working class. But like where that line differentiates,
Speaker 1: like if I if I was born to a father
Speaker 1: who was a shoemaker, for example, or how a store
Speaker 1: or something like I'm by marksis definition automatically bourgeoisie, so
Speaker 1: I should have all of my property? Right? Where is
Speaker 1: the line taken from you? Exactly? Where is the line?
Speaker 1: Who draws it? And and what that does actually is
Speaker 1: it creates a disincentive for people to want to build
Speaker 1: up capital and owned property, and it creates an incentive
Speaker 1: for those without property to steal the property. But then
Speaker 1: it's like this weird kind of ground. It's like you
Speaker 1: want to take someone's property, but you don't want to
Speaker 1: be considered the bourgeois e because then you have property,
Speaker 1: so it's like you've got confiscated property, so you've done
Speaker 1: it for the good of the people. So it's like
Speaker 1: it's like a cancer in society. So it's like this
Speaker 1: dogma of us against them, and we take instead of
Speaker 1: build for ourselves, and we don't want to climb up
Speaker 1: the classes. We want to bring everybody down to our level.
Speaker 1: Super dangerous. Yeah, And because who draws that line? Where
Speaker 1: is that line? Who's moving that line? And so if
Speaker 1: U if I happen to make whatever that line is,
Speaker 1: if I make enough money where now I'm the BOURGEOISI
Speaker 1: does that automatically mean that I'm oppressing people? And then
Speaker 1: like if I lose a little bit of income, then
Speaker 1: do I drop back down into the proletariat? Now I'm
Speaker 1: being oppressed, Like it's like it's it's it's crazy, Um,
Speaker 1: you're usen to the Markma Show. We're talking about the
Speaker 1: decentralized revolution in the way the world is losing changing
Speaker 1: from the globalization. I'm in the studio with Alex Fetzki.
Speaker 1: We are discussing a brand new book we're just launched
Speaker 1: called The Uncommunist Manifesto. Check it out at Uncommunist dot com.
Speaker 1: Uncommunist dot com. It's a short read. We just launched
Speaker 1: a kickstart to go check it out. You're listening to
Speaker 1: the Markmas Show. Will be back with more in a second.
Speaker 1: Do not go away, all right, Welcome back. You are
Speaker 1: listening to the markma Show where we talk about each
Speaker 1: and every week the Decentralized Revolution, talking about the way
Speaker 1: the world is changing. It's maxing out on the on
Speaker 1: the pendulum on centralization, on globalism, globalization, and swinging back
Speaker 1: to decentralization. Of course, it's being led by bitcoin, the technology,
Speaker 1: the technological revolution that's giving us the decentralized revolution, and
Speaker 1: it's going through every area of society and we're seeing
Speaker 1: the whole world change because of its always technology that
Speaker 1: changes the world, and we're seeing it right right now
Speaker 1: before ever eyes. We're seeing with the rush of Ukraine
Speaker 1: War being one of the big catalysts to end globalism
Speaker 1: as we know it. Um I'm in the studio with
Speaker 1: Alex Fetzki, him and I just released a book. It's
Speaker 1: actually on launch right now on Kickstarter, Uncommunist Manifesto. You
Speaker 1: can find it at Uncommunist dot com. We'd love for
Speaker 1: you to go check it out and support it if
Speaker 1: you can. It's a very cheap help us spread the word.
Speaker 1: But anyway, we're dissecting that book but really looking at
Speaker 1: the Reshu Ukraine War and digging into this this transition,
Speaker 1: and um, I'm talking about President um Putin. Valdimir Putin
Speaker 1: went to the WF in October of last year and
Speaker 1: gave a speech saying, we want none of your WOKESM.
Speaker 1: We don't want it. And now he's enemy number one,
Speaker 1: no matter how Trump is or Trump was in after
Speaker 1: you do the same thing. And so it looks like
Speaker 1: Putin was rejecting globalism and now he's enemy number one. UM,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna dike super deep into that, but um, Alex,
Speaker 1: we were talking about a quote that he said, which
Speaker 1: I think is important because of trying to understand what
Speaker 1: the commonest manifesto was and where we dug in as
Speaker 1: he said that Marks and Ingles declared they would go
Speaker 1: and to change the traditional lifestyle, the political lifestyle, and
Speaker 1: the economic lifestyle. Seems like the three things and and
Speaker 1: the very notion of morality. So those four things seemed
Speaker 1: like what what Putin called the basic principles of a
Speaker 1: healthy society in the in the Communist Manifesto that we
Speaker 1: rewrote on communist dot com. Are those the four things
Speaker 1: that we kind of saw lifestyle, political, lifestyle, economic, lifestyle,
Speaker 1: morality pretty much. I mean it's like, you know, the
Speaker 1: Communist Manifesto was a declaration for the original Great Reset.
Speaker 1: It's like kind of classes, like the the reincarnation of marks.
Speaker 1: In a sense, it's funny. It's funny you say that
Speaker 1: because the Commons Manifesto led to the largest revolution in
Speaker 1: European history. Yes, seriously, it was. It was the original
Speaker 1: great reset, like the O G version and and and
Speaker 1: that's what effectively they wanted to do across you know,
Speaker 1: these three lenses traditional, political, economic, is that let's reset
Speaker 1: it that there's no more family, there's um, there's no
Speaker 1: more uh, you know, multiple classes. Now there's like everyone
Speaker 1: is the same, and you know we somehow elect you know,
Speaker 1: a representative to you know, represent all of us somehow.
Speaker 1: I don't even know how that would even find UM.
Speaker 1: And the economic rules they wanted to completely reset them,
Speaker 1: like you'll learn nothing to be happy, Yeah exactly. But
Speaker 1: I mean it's literally a carbon copy, just with a
Speaker 1: variation in words, because you remember, like Marx was like
Speaker 1: that we can sum up communism in one phrase, the
Speaker 1: abolition of private property. You will own nothing. And Marks's
Speaker 1: whole premise of communism was that you will be happy
Speaker 1: on this system. So they're saying the same thing, just
Speaker 1: in a in a new age spin literally literally. So
Speaker 1: that so they must have got the marketing team in
Speaker 1: there to read the book and say, how can we
Speaker 1: make the communist manifesto cool again? So I mean, like
Speaker 1: one of the elements, like so I want to touch
Speaker 1: on economics. So in in the communist Manifesto there's the
Speaker 1: ten points of communism and two of the ones which
Speaker 1: always strike me, and I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: don't realize this is the progressive taxation and a central
Speaker 1: bank that issues all money like that didn't really exist
Speaker 1: back then, right, there was a whole lot of private
Speaker 1: banks in the a whole lot of like gold issuance,
Speaker 1: and like, I mean, we weren't on a perfect gold
Speaker 1: standard at any really particular point in time, but that
Speaker 1: was really like the driver of economic progress at the time.
Speaker 1: And with that driver of economic progress, like the so
Speaker 1: called bourgeoisie or the what what I like to think
Speaker 1: of as the competent entrepreneurial class rose up and overturned
Speaker 1: the system, and rightly so. They used math, science, economics,
Speaker 1: entrepreneurialism to to build wealth where wealth didn't exist before
Speaker 1: um And you know, Marx's doctrine was like, no, we
Speaker 1: should have money issued by a central authority, central bank,
Speaker 1: and we should you know, I think he called it
Speaker 1: heavy progressive taxation, which, mind you, in so called capitalist
Speaker 1: nations today like America and Australia and Canada and basically
Speaker 1: the whole West, what are two of the core tenants
Speaker 1: of the entire central banking and progressive taxation? It's actually
Speaker 1: what what? Just this week President Biden came out with
Speaker 1: this new tax a billionaire tacks if you make over
Speaker 1: a hundred million or worth over hunter million, well tax
Speaker 1: on your unrealized cap games. Yeah, I mean, we'll see
Speaker 1: if it goes through. But my point, or to to
Speaker 1: your point, progressive, heavy progressive tax that's heavy. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: so I mean, this is this is the thing. It's like,
Speaker 1: we think we live in capitalism and we don't. We
Speaker 1: actually live in these you know, quasi communist states, and
Speaker 1: we're wondering why things are unraveling, and you've got these
Speaker 1: other players who are trying to rise up and kind
Speaker 1: of reject those doctrines which are not new, like the
Speaker 1: Great Reset the ideas within the Classes book, they're not new. No,
Speaker 1: it's just likely, just like which is interesting because again, uh,
Speaker 1: Putin has the benefit of hindsight because his country was
Speaker 1: affected by that, the Bolshevik Revolution, and he says followed
Speaker 1: the dogmas and marks of ingles um and he knows
Speaker 1: it well, right, Um, lifestyle, political, economic, and the very
Speaker 1: notion of morality, which he calls the basic principles for
Speaker 1: healthy society. So, um, you were saying that when everything matters,
Speaker 1: nothing matters, and so kind of like with that notion
Speaker 1: of morality as he's as he's calling it here, Um,
Speaker 1: is it relative moral relativism? Right? Like everything goes anything
Speaker 1: goes up is down? Left is right? Men or women
Speaker 1: two plus two is five? Whatever? Right, Well, that's what
Speaker 1: ein Rand warned about in both her books. Right, So
Speaker 1: she left the Bolshevik Revolution like she escaped Russia during
Speaker 1: that revolution, and she transformed that idea, particularly of moral relativism.
Speaker 1: So so that was she kind of framed that as
Speaker 1: the cancer which brought down Russia, and she came to
Speaker 1: America as the new place, and she wrote a whole
Speaker 1: series of books which took these ideas and transformed them
Speaker 1: into like a beautiful philosophical narrative and story which is
Speaker 1: like the story is compelling, you want to read it,
Speaker 1: but you actually learn the message through it, and you
Speaker 1: see how moral relatives and basically unwinds and dissolves this society. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's movie out today. Yeah, when there's no such thing
Speaker 1: as right and wrong and there's no there's no rules
Speaker 1: and all these things. So, by the way, the books
Speaker 1: that alex is talking about is um Atlas Shrugged, which
Speaker 1: is one of my favorites, and definitely read that. The
Speaker 1: fountain Head is another one of our very popular ones. Um,
Speaker 1: if you're if you're like a lot of people today
Speaker 1: and you're addicted dopamine and you can't read a book, Um,
Speaker 1: you can watch the movie of Atlas Shrugged, which isn't
Speaker 1: as good as read the book, but listen to the audiobook.
Speaker 1: The audiobook, Yeah, I don't think the movies were that bad.
Speaker 1: They had good actors, and I think you still get
Speaker 1: a lot of the message. So if you can't read
Speaker 1: a book, watch the movie at least at least But
Speaker 1: but if you can't read a book, interesting you know
Speaker 1: this side note? Um, you know, I think you know.
Speaker 1: Like two weeks ago, a week and a half ago,
Speaker 1: I went down to Mexico for five days on a
Speaker 1: dirt bike ride. And I'm down there in Mexico and
Speaker 1: we went to a section of the Baja Peninsula as
Speaker 1: we call it, the never Never. There's no cell phone service,
Speaker 1: there's no nothing there. And we spent a couple of
Speaker 1: days there with the helmets on. And uh, even now,
Speaker 1: like a week and half later, like I come back
Speaker 1: and I don't want to turn my phone on. I
Speaker 1: don't want to go on social media. I don't even
Speaker 1: want to look at my email. And even today, like
Speaker 1: a week week and half later, I still from that
Speaker 1: dopamine fast. I still don't even want to engage in
Speaker 1: social media. It's crazy, um anyway alongside nope, um, but anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's just crazy. How I guess the pain of
Speaker 1: seeing it happened in the past of a putin like
Speaker 1: he he knows exactly what's happening. He doesn't want any
Speaker 1: of it. Um does that does that make put In
Speaker 1: a good a good guy in your eyes. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: not here to question. I don't. I don't think anybody's
Speaker 1: good or bad. I think we all do things that
Speaker 1: are good and we all do things that are bad. Right, So, um,
Speaker 1: you know that's like trying to decide I'm I'm all
Speaker 1: in on a Republican or a Democrat or a Libertarian.
Speaker 1: It's like I'm not all in on anybody's ideology, right,
Speaker 1: like the shades of it. Right. Um, I'm sure Putin
Speaker 1: has done plenty of good things, and I'm sure he's
Speaker 1: done plenty of bad things. And I'm and I'm definitely
Speaker 1: not for bombing and killing people in Ukraine. I think
Speaker 1: that's a bad thing. Um. And I don't want to
Speaker 1: get into this, but you know, was he provoked? I
Speaker 1: mean it looks like he was, But again I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't really want to dive into that. So I
Speaker 1: don't know if he's a good or bad thing. But
Speaker 1: what I do think is I think he's doing what
Speaker 1: he thinks is best for his people, as opposed to
Speaker 1: sacrificing his people for the global good. Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: think that distinction is really important because at least I mean,
Speaker 1: what bit that I've heard in the hood from people
Speaker 1: that because because I've got I mean, I'm not Russian.
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's let's table that. We'll come back onto
Speaker 1: that because I want to hear what you have to say.
Speaker 1: But um, you're listening to the Mark mo Show. We're
Speaker 1: talking about the decentralized Revolution. We're talking about the way
Speaker 1: the world is changing right now. I have Alex Fetzki
Speaker 1: in the studio and we're talking about, um, what Putin
Speaker 1: said about the teachings of marks and ingles, and how
Speaker 1: we just rewrote the book The Communist Manifesto to a
Speaker 1: new book called the Uncommunist Manifesto. You can check out
Speaker 1: at Uncommunist dot com. Please check it out and supported
Speaker 1: Uncommunist dot com. We're we'll come back with the answer
Speaker 1: to what Alex is about to talk about in a second,
Speaker 1: So do not go away. We'll be right back. All right,
Speaker 1: Welcome back here, listening to the Mark Show. I'm in
Speaker 1: the studio with Alex Fetzki. We're discussing the decentralized Revolution,
Speaker 1: how the world is changing right now and how what
Speaker 1: was old has become new again. We're talking specifically about
Speaker 1: a quote that that Putin made to the World Dot
Speaker 1: Coming Forum in just about six months ogo October last year,
Speaker 1: saying he wanted no part of this globalist agenda of
Speaker 1: Wokesm and he said the Bolsheviks followed the teachings of
Speaker 1: Marx and Ingles. And of course, Alex and I just
Speaker 1: launched a book called The Uncommunist Manifesto where we broke
Speaker 1: down the teachings of Marx and Ingles, the conresh Manifesto,
Speaker 1: and we flipped it upside down in a new book.
Speaker 1: You can check it out at Uncommunist dot com. That's
Speaker 1: Uncommunist dot com. Now, Alex, before the break, Um, you
Speaker 1: were about to say something about Putin. Is he a good? Oh?
Speaker 1: Putin maybe is good and he's bad, but maybe he's
Speaker 1: at least working in the best interests of his people
Speaker 1: versus sacrifices people for the greater global good. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think what I wanted to touch on is that you know,
Speaker 1: people by my name I always think I'm actually Russian,
Speaker 1: So so you know, fill the record, I'm not, you know,
Speaker 1: uh so so this isn't something like, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: in support of Putting or anything, But um, I I
Speaker 1: know people like I've got friends all across Eastern Europe
Speaker 1: because my parents are Macedonian, so Eastern European, and I've
Speaker 1: got friends in Ukraine and Russia. And from what I
Speaker 1: actually understand from people on the ground is that the
Speaker 1: so called attack is not like a random, blind, fucking
Speaker 1: blunt force attack. It's actually quite surgical. So that's that's
Speaker 1: what I've heard at least. But anyway, I just wanted
Speaker 1: to say that because it's, um, I think it's very
Speaker 1: easy to get caught up in the in the madness,
Speaker 1: like every time you turn the news on, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like it's always funny to watch the language. You know,
Speaker 1: Russia allegedly bombs nursing home Russia. So so they it's
Speaker 1: it's all like a style basically. Yeah, it's total narrative.
Speaker 1: Yeah anyway, So um, but back but back to the
Speaker 1: teachings of Marks and English. That's what I really want
Speaker 1: to focus on. Was just this Bolshevik the dogmas, if
Speaker 1: you will, and so they wanted to change change these
Speaker 1: things and put people into these boxes, but it broke down, um,
Speaker 1: the principles of healthy society. To Putin's comment here, and
Speaker 1: so you know that book was written Hunters and a
Speaker 1: five years ago. And at the time it was written, um,
Speaker 1: at the kind of the start of the industrial revolution, um,
Speaker 1: and things probably were different. Right. We had families that
Speaker 1: used to work on the farms together, and now the
Speaker 1: families probably went to the factories together, and so you
Speaker 1: probably had kid labor. And I'm guessing these machines were
Speaker 1: brand new. They probably weren't very safe when there was
Speaker 1: probably people getting hurt. And probably at that time most
Speaker 1: of it was all money capital. Um. There wasn't an
Speaker 1: information age. There was no intellectual capital really at the time. Um.
Speaker 1: And so maybe it was written at that point in time.
Speaker 1: But today we have the benefit of hindsight to one realized, well,
Speaker 1: the world didn't didn't work the way he said. Now
Speaker 1: we have intellectual capital. Two kids don't work anymore. Um.
Speaker 1: But most importantly, all these ideas that have been tried
Speaker 1: have resulted in failure a hundred percent of the time,
Speaker 1: including the Bullshevik revolution that Putin talked about. So now
Speaker 1: we have the benefit of hindsight, We totally do. I
Speaker 1: mean the thing about like working your way up, it's
Speaker 1: kind of like the classics thing of pull yourself up
Speaker 1: by bootstraps, right, is that you know, when you're young,
Speaker 1: when I think of human society is like an organism
Speaker 1: that is similar to a human being as an organism.
Speaker 1: Is that you know when when you're when you're young
Speaker 1: and dumb and stupid, like you go out and you
Speaker 1: work your butt off and you make all the mistakes,
Speaker 1: you do things all the wrong way. But in the
Speaker 1: process of like learning, you become better. If you're able
Speaker 1: to learn, and you become more competent, you know, you
Speaker 1: become wealthier. Like it's it's perfectly normal for someone who's
Speaker 1: worked forty years to be wealthier than someone who's worked
Speaker 1: two years like that, that's normal, like and and this
Speaker 1: is this is the progression that societies have to go through.
Speaker 1: They have to go through that adolescent phase, which is
Speaker 1: effectively when he was around he was complaining about basically
Speaker 1: the the emergence of a wealthy, more capitalist oriented society.
Speaker 1: He was complaining about that, but he was complaining basically
Speaker 1: about society growing through its you know, Todd La phase,
Speaker 1: I would argue, is that's where we were. So he
Speaker 1: wrote that at that time. But now to your point, right,
Speaker 1: the world's change, we have benefit of hindsight. So the
Speaker 1: book that we wrote Uncommunist dot Com Uncommist Manifesto, UM,
Speaker 1: the goal was to kind of show that these ideas
Speaker 1: were written at this time, but actually there's a different
Speaker 1: way totally. I mean, like that. A couple of things
Speaker 1: we tried to do in there was obviously what I
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier about the access of the struggle, right, it's
Speaker 1: not just some arbitrary oppressing oppressing me all the time.
Speaker 1: Because if we if we fall into that mentality, what
Speaker 1: happens is you don't you don't take ownership and responsibility
Speaker 1: of your own situation. Like it's always someone else's fault.
Speaker 1: You know, you're always the victim. It's always like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's because i'm you know, I'm this race, or I'm
Speaker 1: this gender, or I'm this person, or I'm that I
Speaker 1: was born in this situation, I had this parents, I
Speaker 1: went to this school. It's the book is then trying
Speaker 1: to show people that they're not victims well correct. So
Speaker 1: I think that's a big part of our book is
Speaker 1: that to say that, hey, you know, the revolution that
Speaker 1: is actually happening now, which is part of this decentralized revolution,
Speaker 1: is the revolution or the renaissance of responsibility, Like the
Speaker 1: pendulum has to swing back to responsibility because the world
Speaker 1: we live in now is one in which it's a
Speaker 1: vacuum of responsibility. No one's responsible for anything. Everyone's passing
Speaker 1: the blame to someone else. It's like it's you know,
Speaker 1: the fuel prices are not our fault, it's Putting's fault.
Speaker 1: Like you know, the dog ate my lune, the dog
Speaker 1: ate my homework basics, it's like consistent. So I think
Speaker 1: that's one of the big pieces is that, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: group identity politics, just blaming everyone for the rest of
Speaker 1: you life doesn't help, you know, It's it's about the
Speaker 1: individual claiming autonomy and responsibility and realizing that the struggle
Speaker 1: is multifaceted. So really the only decision you need to
Speaker 1: think about is do you want to coercively take from
Speaker 1: someone or do you want to produce something cooperate with others.
Speaker 1: So I think that was like one of the important
Speaker 1: acts is Yeah, I think that the good one. And uh,
Speaker 1: it's meant it's meant to encourage, it's meant to so
Speaker 1: a lot of people probably have never read, so Putin
Speaker 1: knows the dogmas of marks and ingles very well. Most
Speaker 1: people probably haven't ever taken the time to even understand
Speaker 1: what it's saying, and so one's meant to highlight that,
Speaker 1: but then to show this other side and and encourage
Speaker 1: as well. I think also UM in the Communist Manifesto
Speaker 1: he he he outlined all the different forms of communism,
Speaker 1: and so we took a time to outline all the
Speaker 1: forms of what people consider capitalism. And I think this
Speaker 1: is really helpful for people because I think, you know,
Speaker 1: you made the point earlier that UM, people think we
Speaker 1: have a capitalist system, but we don't, and people just
Speaker 1: don't understand that. And so we've kind of taken the
Speaker 1: time to break down the different forms of what people
Speaker 1: consider capitalism. We don't, but we break it down and
Speaker 1: so people can understand that. Maybe give them um the
Speaker 1: understanding and then the the firepower to go have conversations
Speaker 1: with other people. Totally. Yeah, it's funny. I just recorded
Speaker 1: that chapter in the in the other studios, so he's
Speaker 1: he recorded the chapter for the audio book that's coming out.
Speaker 1: We're give it away UM with the Kickstarter campaign, So
Speaker 1: if you want to go check that out, you can
Speaker 1: get an Uncommunist dot com and you get the audio
Speaker 1: book as well. But go ahead. Indeed, so I recorded
Speaker 1: that chapter just then and it was just it was
Speaker 1: interesting rereading it again because I haven't read it now
Speaker 1: since I had it a couple of months ago, and
Speaker 1: it's it's refreshing going through those because I think we
Speaker 1: made a compelling case about just separating in people's minds, like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, capitalism is is a is a natural, organic process.
Speaker 1: We all go through it. We're all cooperating, producing, we're
Speaker 1: creating something. It's you know, and all these things that
Speaker 1: people confuse it with the more confiscatory in nature. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's a book that we hope can really
Speaker 1: go viral. We'd love for you to check it out. Also,
Speaker 1: Alex and I will both be signing copies of this book,
Speaker 1: presenting them at my event coming up very soon as
Speaker 1: called Market Disruptors Live. You can check out Market Disruptors
Speaker 1: Live dot com. Come to meet a bunch of speakers.
Speaker 1: We got Luke Gramin and George Gammon, myself, Harry Dent,
Speaker 1: Daniel DiMartino Booth. Of course, Alex Fetzki and I will
Speaker 1: be there signing books. Check it out Market Disruptors Live
Speaker 1: dot com and check out the book. At Uncommunist dot
Speaker 1: com Uncommunist dot Com as well. Hopefully it can go
Speaker 1: viral like the Commerce Manifesto did, but instead of leaving
Speaker 1: a trail of death and destruction in its way, KI
Speaker 1: can revitalize the world for the better. That's our that's
Speaker 1: our goal for the world. You're listening to the Mark
Speaker 1: Moss Show. We talked about the intersection of politics, finance,
Speaker 1: and technology, talking about the decentralized revolution, the way the
Speaker 1: world is changing, and bitcoin is the catalyst for that.
Speaker 1: Technology is always the catalyst for the way the world changed.
Speaker 1: I've been the studio with Alex Fetzki. We've been talking
Speaker 1: about our new book that just got released on Kickstarter,
Speaker 1: Uncommunist dot Com, and that's it. I appreciate you tuning in.
Speaker 1: Check out those links that we that I dropped for you,
Speaker 1: and thanks for listening.
