WEBVTT - The Mark Moss Show - Talking with Aleks Svetski 0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:02.800 Hello, and welcome back to another episode of the Mark 0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:06.200 Moa Show where we talk about the decentralized revolution. We 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:11.119 talked about the the converging cycles of politics, technology and finance, 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:13.520 and how technology changes the world as we know. Of course, 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:17.280 the technological revolution we're talking about is bitcoin, and it's 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.640 changing every aspect of our lives, which is gives me 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:22.759 plenty of stuff to talk about, never ending amount of 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:24.439 stuff to talk about, especially when I bring on some 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.640 other people to help me share this information discuss the information, 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.319 like my good friend Alex Spetzky, who's with in the 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:33.440 studio with me today. Welcome Alex. Thanks man. It's been 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:35.800 a long time since I've been in l A. Yeah, man, 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.280 we've we've done We've done several shows. I've had you 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.160 on the radio show many times. Um, But the first 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.320 time we've been together in the l A studio pretty cool. 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:46.640 It's a little different being in the studio, get a 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:48.600 little bit of different energy. Is I feel I feel 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:50.680 professional for once in my life. This This is actually 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.440 the second time I've walked into a studio. The first 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.040 time I walked into a studio was I did a 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.560 podcast with Sean Purio. If you heard of my first 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.040 million like a podcast. It's pretty well known podcast. It 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:01.920 was in Silicon Valley and I remember walking in there. 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.840 I was like, whoa, this is cool and it's kind 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:09.759 of got that the sound like it's really interesting. Yeah. Yeah, 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:11.520 the sound in here is cool. It just like sucks 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:13.880 the sound right out of here, which is nice. Um, 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.400 when I recorded my office studio, something like a little 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.679 bit of echo and reaver. But it's cool. But I 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:22.520 want to dig into some some some fun stuff today. UM, 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:25.280 So a couple of things. One, I want to talk 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:30.200 about something that maybe people you know bitcoin, Um, it 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.479 permeates every layer of society and so like there's almost 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.720 an intersection of everything, and so we can almost take 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:39.280 any subject and then trace it back. But today we'll 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:43.000 look at um, we'll look at Larry Fink from Black 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.560 Rock said that the Russia Ukraine conflict could be the 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.920 end of globalism. I've been talking about this end of centralization, 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.240 of moving to decentralization. Of course bitcoin is helping to 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.920 usher that in. So we'll chase that down. Well, then 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.440 we'll dive into the catalyst behind that, maybe what some 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:04.080 of things putin said, um, some things into socialism, communism, 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:08.120 we haven't maybe thought about, and then into um the 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.920 Communist Manifesto where it started, and then we'll talk about 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.560 a book that we just wrote called The Uncommunist Manifesto. 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.040 And if you're just tuning in, you can always just 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.880 jump ahead and check that out uncommunist dot com if 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:19.440 you want to see this new book that we just wrote. 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.760 So well, we'll talk about it from the high level 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:23.320 all the way down into the book, and we'll talk 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:27.040 about communism, socialism and what what that means in the 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:28.400 world today. So a lot of stuff. So the first 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:30.720 thing I want to talk about, Alex is um. Obviously 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:34.079 there's the current thing. You're wearing a shirt that says 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.160 I support the current thing. Uh, And the current thing 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:41.080 right now is supporting Ukraine apparently apparently that or just 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:46.200 arbitruarily hating Russians like pick poison. Yeah, we gotta support 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.440 whatever whatever the current thing is now. You know, it's 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.520 interesting when you say that's the hating Russians. You know, 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.640 you look back at any war that we've ever had, 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.760 like no people ever really hate the other people. It's 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.680 just the leaders that get into this battle. They try 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.760 to drum us up through nash realism. To get us like, 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.240 I'm sure you know you're from Australia, but um, I'm 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.680 sure the sports fanatics are the same they're that they 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.680 are in the US. So it's like our team and 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.840 we won, and we did this, right, You didn't do 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.040 anything he was seeing at home watching the TV. You've 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.880 probably never even played the sport. Yeah, you know, I've 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.760 never played whatever. I've never played basketball. But all of 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:21.320 a sudden, it's like my team and we did this 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.760 kind of thing, and so they use this nationalism to 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.600 get us on the team and to hate the other team. 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.880 But the reality is, you know, we didn't hate the Germans, 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.760 we didn't hate the Iraqis, and we don't hate Russians, 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.960 and I'm sure Russians don't hate us unless they're getting 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.560 caught up in the same nationalism. Probably do you think 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:41.960 they use nationalism in that way? I mean, that's a 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.040 tough one because the thing is you need to have 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.000 lived in Russia to to really experience that. Well, I'm 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.880 just saying overall, like globally, governments using nationalism to try 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:55.560 to kind of drum up that support. I don't know. 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.880 I I didn't think i'd give a valid answer to 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:03.480 them perhaps, but I'm not sure if there's a I 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:07.920 feel like incessant, constant brainwashing is something that's a little 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.160 bit more And again I could be completely wrong on this, 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:12.800 but if I feel like that's more a function of 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.720 the West because we have such a media, um, a 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.599 media culture, like we're always being bombarded by something, whereas 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:21.279 I don't know if that's the same of it. Well, 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:22.840 the thing is is when it comes to war, and 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:23.960 I don't want to spend a much time in the 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:25.760 world wild jump pass this, but when it comes to war, 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:31.200 is that I will I will defend my home until 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:35.400 the end, right, I will defend my homeland until the end. 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:36.920 But if I don't have that attachment to my home, 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:40.839 if I'm a paid actor, if I'm a paid uh mercenary, 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.400 I'm never going to have that same passion. And so 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.880 in order to go to war, they have to get 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.800 people to buy into that my homeland, my home. Right 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.040 otherwise you're just a paid mercenary and you'll just run 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:56.680 first sort of first chance of adversary maybe, um, but 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.000 but if we jump into that. So there's something that 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:02.360 I shared with you earlier in the week, and I've 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.200 been talking a lot about as I said the intro 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.760 of this decentralized revolution. So the world has this pendulum 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:11.120 has been swinging towards centralization, globalism, globalization, and now the 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.360 pendulum is about to swing back. Larry Fink, the CEO 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.880 of Black Rock, said that this this could be the 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.839 end of globalism. And if we look at the war 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.080 on globalism, so if we start there, there's been this trend, 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.240 the pendulum swing of globalism. And I shared something this 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.560 week and it was that October. Well, right, now there's 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.800 a concerted effort by the world to get Puttin out 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:34.760 of office. We saw President Biden go on TV and say, 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.640 we gotta get him out of here. He cannot stay. 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:42.680 There's something that effect regime change. Now, why why would 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.240 we need to get rushed out? Well, he came in 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.080 and he did mean things. Right, He's attacking Ukrainians. That's 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.120 that's not right, and I'm not for that. Let's let's 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.560 let the record state that I am not for war 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.960 and killing people. But what's interesting is if we go 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.120 to October eighteenth, Russian President Vladimir Putin went went and 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.000 delivered a speech to Davos to the European Central Bank 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.120 akers and he basically said, we want no part of 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:07.359 your globalism. And he said that, um, he said, we 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.159 see the amusement, the paralysis unfolding in countries that have 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:14.719 grown accustomed to viewing themselves as the flagship of progress. 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.320 So people that think they're the flagship of progress, they 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.560 have these problems. Of course, it's none of our business. 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.359 But the social and cultural shocks that are happening in 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.440 some of the western countries, and he's talking about this 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.520 woke is m He said. The recipes they come up 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.359 with are nothing new. The Bolsheviks followed the dogmas of 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.160 marks and ingles, and they also declared that they would 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.960 go into the change the traditional lifestyle, the political, the 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:40.040 economic lifestyle, as well as the very notion of morality 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.880 and the basic principles for a healthy society. They were 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.560 trying to destroy age old century long values, revisiting the 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.599 relationship between the people. They were encouraging informing of one's 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.360 own beloved and families. It was held as a march 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.159 of progress, and it was very popular. It was supported 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.800 by many, and as we see, it is happening again 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:02.480 right now. So what are these uh, what are these teachings? 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.560 The Bolsheviks came up with from Marx and ingles that 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.560 you think that are being revived that we've seen have 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:13.400 a history of of death of destruction. I mean the 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:17.240 big one is group identities and and group identity politics, 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.280 Like you know, this idea of oppressed or oppressed, and 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:23.000 you know everyone's oppressed by someone, and you know that 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:28.520 this incessant encroachment of rights with a complete disregard to 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.200 responsibilities which sit on the other side of the leger 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.360 to rights. You know. But before I take into that, 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:35.840 I just wanted to mention something about you know, you 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.160 said Larry Fink pointed out that this could be the 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:42.800 end of globalism. I mean it's that's almost kind of 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.160 like stating that, you know, someone throws a brick through 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:46.920 a window and then pointing out that now the wind 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:48.640 is going to get in. Like it's kind of a 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.720 pretty evident thing. So you know that the fact that 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.040 Larry Fink has stated it, I mean, you know, for them, 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:56.360 I don't think they really care. They're just going to 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.440 position themselves in whatever manner that helps them, because I 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:03.160 don't think girl is a friend of the people anyway. Um, 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.560 but you know, the the the end of globalism is 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:10.880 going to happen whether we want it or not, because 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.800 the larger the system gets, the more ossified it becomes, 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.160 and as a result, the more fragile it is, so 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.960 so it'll it'll break under some sort of tension or pressure. 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:25.840 And the thing is like, you can't unless you completely 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.200 kill a living system, you can't sterilize it, like you 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.720 can't just be fixed. Um. And as soon as you 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.240 kind of fix everything in the system and like you know, structure, 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:34.880 and it's like globalism and we're all the same, we're 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:36.960 all going to do the same thing, like something's going 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.400 to give. Um. So I've always said that the question 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:41.959 is like we're going to move back to a more 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:47.000 fragmented world. Are we going to have the world fall 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.559 on top of us and have nothing left like, or 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.400 we're going to kind of consciously try and move towards 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.640 you know, more conscious, localized world and all that sort 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.880 of stuff, like are we going to actually focus on 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.440 cleaning up our own room instead of telling what telling 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.200 other people what they should do with every It's like 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.800 a good point. Um Putin said something else here that 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:06.679 I want to dig into, um that I think is 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:10.000 kind of foretelling it actually adds to exactly what you're saying. UM, 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:11.760 and I want to read another one of Putin's quote 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.920 and we're gonna talk about why this speech October eighteenth 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.160 probably lead to where we're at today. I'm in the 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:20.480 studio with Alex Fetzki. UM. We're talking about the wars 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.720 rush of Ukraine, what this really means for globalism, UM, communism, 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.679 and then we're talking about our book that we just wrote. 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.800 It's called the uncommunst Manifesto. You can find on Uncommunist 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.240 dot com. Uncommunist dot com. If you're listening to the 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.400 Mark Mos Show, will be right back with more. Do 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.920 not go away, all right, welcome back. You are listening 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.640 to the Mark Ma Show. We're talking about the decentralized 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.160 revolution that is changing the world right before our very eyes. 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.520 Of course bitcoin being the catalyst for that, UM, but 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.120 we're talking about something on a bigger level today that 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.000 we're diving into. I'm in the studio with my good 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.080 friend Alex Fetzky. Him and I just released a book 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.319 this last week called the Uncommunist Manifesto. We took the 0:09:56.320 --> 0:10:00.240 Communist Manifesto and we rewrote it. UM. It's an easy book. 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.120 It's an easy book to read. We'd love free to 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.840 support it. Check it out at Uncommunist dot com. Uncommunist 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.320 dot com check that out. But Alex, you were saying 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:12.280 before the break that it's, uh, you can't sterilize this. 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:14.800 These systems and a lot of these problems come from that, 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:18.120 and so m Another piece that he said here was 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.720 he said that some people believe that this is this 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.680 is putin quote from putin Um given a speech at 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.920 the World that comic for him. He said, some people 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.200 leave that the aggressive blotting out of whole pages of 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:34.280 your own history. The affirmative action and the interest of minorities, 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:38.560 and the requirement to renounce the traditional interpretation of such 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:42.080 basic values as mother, father, family and the distinction between 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:46.640 sexes are a milestone and a renewal of renewal of society. 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.960 So that's the that makes me think of what you 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:50.959 just said, the sterilization is that is that kind of 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:52.280 what you're thinking about. When you try to do that, 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:54.760 you get rid of all that history that sterilizes it. Yeah, 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:58.040 it does. I mean, you know, when there's a I 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.920 don't know who said this or whether I made it 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.959 up or whatever, but like when everything matters. Nothing matters. 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.319 So it's like you say, when you're when you're when 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.800 you're too busy, that's a lack of priorities. Yeah. So 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:16.640 so it's like everything is losing meaning. Um, and you know, 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:20.679 we kind of live in this morass of moral relativity 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.520 where like nothing is fixed, nothing is objective, everything is subjective, 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:26.920 nothing means anything, and it's like that there's no there's 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.920 no rooting, there's no grounding to anything. And in doing so, yeah, 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:37.040 you you actually you kill off that which was naturally 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.920 like kind of you know, you perceive things as dirty 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.400 because they're kind of fixed in a place. Now it's 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:47.280 like nothing means anything. So like now that nothing everything 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.200 means something, so that nothing means anything, so let's just 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:50.440 get rid of it all. And it's kind of like 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:55.280 a movement towards nihilism and like hopelessness. It's it's it's weird. 0:11:55.880 --> 0:12:00.520 But I want to dig into the what he talks about. Okay, uh. 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:04.000 First off, so he made this speech in October to 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.160 the world that coming for him, saying we want none 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.400 of what you're doing. We see what you're doing to 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:12.520 the west wokesm um. As he says here that's breaking 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.559 down mother, father, family, distincts between sexes, all that we 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.000 don't want any of that. Now, this is very similar 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.520 to a speech that Donald Trump gave in Davos in 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.920 two thousand seventeen. We don't want globalism, We reject that. 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.880 And Donald Trump became enemy number one, and al Putin 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:28.840 gave a very similar speech, and now all of a sudden, 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:33.520 he's enemy number one in the world. Surprise, surprise, Yeah, surprise, surprise. 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.520 Do you think there's any correlation there? Of course, I 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:38.880 mean at the end of the day that this is. 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:42.920 This is again like what was saying earlier about like 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.440 the fragmentation of the world, Like the best way to 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.439 deal with things in the world and in lash is 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.000 just deal with yourself first. Like this is the Jordan 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.440 Peter esque thing, right, is like clean your room and 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.640 stop running around telling everyone else to do with with 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:57.559 what to do with their room. And that's the problem 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.800 with these kind of like weff like you know, WF 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.760 the characters and these DeVos characters, is like they project 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.079 their own lack of self control and self restraint on 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.080 everyone else, and as such, they believe that they are 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.800 the saviors who have come to control us all because 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.440 without them, you and I won't know what to do, 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.440 like we we don't know how to make decisions, like 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.120 we can't feed ourselves, we don't know how to clothe ourselves. 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.040 We wouldn't know where to work, like, so we must 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:25.600 have them to build structures for us. You know, it's 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.880 just it's it's weird, man, And you know putting is like, hey, 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:30.640 I don't want anything to do with this, Like we've 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:34.000 done pretty well over the last years since the wall 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.400 came down, like we've rebuilt this country. Um. And to 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.960 his credit, he hasn't like bent over for them. But 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.280 there's a price to pad. I guess yeah, and specifically, Um, 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.400 we'll dig into this piece back with us. I already 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:50.280 read it. Um. He talked about the Bolsheviks. He said, 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.360 the recipes they come up with are nothing new. The 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:57.440 Bolsheviks followed the dogmas of marks and ingles. I wanna 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:02.000 talk about that right there, so um they He originally 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.319 talked about the blotting out of history. So even if 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.480 history is bad, we shouldn't blot it out because we 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.200 should learn from good and bad. But even if it's bad, 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:11.560 we should still know about it so we don't repeat it. Um, 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:13.600 those who don't know history abound to repeat it. But 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:17.480 he said, but but Russia specifically went through a very 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:21.760 bad time in the nineteen hundreds because of the Bolsheviks revolution. 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.160 Arguably they were the first to experience this that we're 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:28.200 experiencing now, right. Hundreds of well not hundreds, I think 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:32.120 it was a or fifty million people died. Sometimes to 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:33.840 count that, ye who knows how to even count that? 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.440 But so, so he has this experience of hindsight, like, 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.280 hang on, hang on, hang on. Last time, these same ideas, 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.720 as he calls it, the Bolsheviks followed the dogmas of 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.760 marks and ingles. They declared they would go in to 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:49.040 change the traditional lifestyle and the political and economic lifestyle. 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.640 So he said, last time we saw this happened. It 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:53.640 led to the Bolshock Revolution, and it was not good 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:56.880 for Russia. And we spent whatever seventy eight years going 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.200 through that. And now to your point, the last years 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:00.760 we've been able to build this back up. Why would 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.720 we go do that same thing again? Makes no sense? 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.640 So let's talk about that. Let's talk about the dogmas 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:11.480 of marks and ingles and trying to change traditional lifestyle, 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:13.720 politics and economical lifestyle. Because that's what we just wrote. 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.400 We were just we we took the Marks and Ingles book, 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:19.640 which is the Communist Manifesto, was written in the late 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:23.360 seventeen hundred, about hundreds and five years ago. We rewrote it. 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.960 It's called the Uncommunist Manifesto. You can check it out 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.560 uncommunist dot com. So we spent a lot of time 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.880 reading this book, dissecting it, and rewriting it. So let's 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.960 talk about that. The dogmas and marks and ingles traditional lifestyle, 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:38.040 politics and economic lifestyles. What does what does that mean? Well, 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.320 I mean we're in that book or what are the dogmas? 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.520 I guess the dog mizzole kind of revolve around this 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:47.200 um a couple of key ideas, right, So you've got 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:52.680 the oppressed and oppressed, and you know, apparently all of 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.880 history is just the story of one oppressure and one 0:15:55.880 --> 0:16:00.080 oppressed class whatever that means. UM kind of ignored the 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.840 fact that we're always struggling against everything. Like, I mean, 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.200 if that's the case, then you know you must hate 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.520 yourself because you've also oppressed yourself in the past, because 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:11.920 you know, you struggle against your future self, your past self, 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.040 like all that sort of stuff. So we're always struggling 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.360 against something, But that's kind of one of the things. 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.080 But I think the more pernicious idea is even this, 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:25.640 like this arbitrary classification of what Marks an Engles called 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:29.120 the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, which they kind of at 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:31.720 some point, like drew a line is kind of like 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.920 really vague line that is open to interpretation of whoever 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.000 the representatives or rulers are, which is the bourgeois is 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:42.040 someone with capital or property, and the proletaria is supposed 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:45.440 to be the working class. But like where that line differentiates, 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:48.040 like if I if I was born to a father 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.400 who was a shoemaker, for example, or how a store 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:54.800 or something like I'm by marksis definition automatically bourgeoisie, so 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.360 I should have all of my property? Right? Where is 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.000 the line taken from you? Exactly? Where is the line? 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.960 Who draws it? And and what that does actually is 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.760 it creates a disincentive for people to want to build 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.879 up capital and owned property, and it creates an incentive 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:12.359 for those without property to steal the property. But then 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.520 it's like this weird kind of ground. It's like you 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.280 want to take someone's property, but you don't want to 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.679 be considered the bourgeois e because then you have property, 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.040 so it's like you've got confiscated property, so you've done 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:22.280 it for the good of the people. So it's like 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.080 it's like a cancer in society. So it's like this 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:29.920 dogma of us against them, and we take instead of 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.879 build for ourselves, and we don't want to climb up 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:36.240 the classes. We want to bring everybody down to our level. 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:40.640 Super dangerous. Yeah, And because who draws that line? Where 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.000 is that line? Who's moving that line? And so if 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.560 U if I happen to make whatever that line is, 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:48.720 if I make enough money where now I'm the BOURGEOISI 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.600 does that automatically mean that I'm oppressing people? And then 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:53.399 like if I lose a little bit of income, then 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.480 do I drop back down into the proletariat? Now I'm 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.639 being oppressed, Like it's like it's it's it's crazy, Um, 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.879 you're usen to the Markma Show. We're talking about the 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.639 decentralized revolution in the way the world is losing changing 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.720 from the globalization. I'm in the studio with Alex Fetzki. 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:10.760 We are discussing a brand new book we're just launched 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:14.360 called The Uncommunist Manifesto. Check it out at Uncommunist dot com. 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.280 Uncommunist dot com. It's a short read. We just launched 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:18.639 a kickstart to go check it out. You're listening to 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:20.600 the Markmas Show. Will be back with more in a second. 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:22.800 Do not go away, all right, Welcome back. You are 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.560 listening to the markma Show where we talk about each 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.680 and every week the Decentralized Revolution, talking about the way 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.960 the world is changing. It's maxing out on the on 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:36.160 the pendulum on centralization, on globalism, globalization, and swinging back 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:40.080 to decentralization. Of course, it's being led by bitcoin, the technology, 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:43.960 the technological revolution that's giving us the decentralized revolution, and 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.640 it's going through every area of society and we're seeing 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.240 the whole world change because of its always technology that 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.879 changes the world, and we're seeing it right right now 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:53.640 before ever eyes. We're seeing with the rush of Ukraine 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.639 War being one of the big catalysts to end globalism 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:58.800 as we know it. Um I'm in the studio with 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.600 Alex Fetzki, him and I just released a book. It's 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:06.119 actually on launch right now on Kickstarter, Uncommunist Manifesto. You 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:09.240 can find it at Uncommunist dot com. We'd love for 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:10.760 you to go check it out and support it if 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:14.560 you can. It's a very cheap help us spread the word. 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:17.119 But anyway, we're dissecting that book but really looking at 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:19.800 the Reshu Ukraine War and digging into this this transition, 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:23.960 and um, I'm talking about President um Putin. Valdimir Putin 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:26.399 went to the WF in October of last year and 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.320 gave a speech saying, we want none of your WOKESM. 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:31.760 We don't want it. And now he's enemy number one, 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.840 no matter how Trump is or Trump was in after 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:36.680 you do the same thing. And so it looks like 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:40.639 Putin was rejecting globalism and now he's enemy number one. UM, 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.359 I'm not gonna dike super deep into that, but um, Alex, 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:45.680 we were talking about a quote that he said, which 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:48.080 I think is important because of trying to understand what 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:50.719 the commonest manifesto was and where we dug in as 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:53.879
