isn't, oh, the community comes together. 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:06.560 Pure communism is when we all come together and we don't have a class society. 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.000 I just don't think that's reasonable anywhere. 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.360 There will always be some sort of competition. 00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.240 There will always be someone trying to conquer someone. 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.360 There will always be a battle of tribes. 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:22.079 It's what it is. 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:26.480 But what are these things? 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.199 We need to understand what they are. 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:38.800 Because often I'm hearing people talk about socialism in a way where they're describing it as something where, hey, I'm just gonna get free stuff. 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.160 I'm just gonna get free things. 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.560 And that's not what socialism is. 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:52.319 And so we need to break those things down and understand what it is and where it came from. 00:06:55.839 --> 00:07:03.839 How feasible is it to pay for everything that the government puts the bill for everything? 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:05.279 How feasible is that? 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:06.879 I'm asking you that question. 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:10.800 I think you need to understand that nothing is going to be totally free. 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:12.800 Nothing comes without a cost. 00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:23.439 Because here's the thing in Paris, in France, in France, the country of France, they have a universal healthcare system. 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:32.879 They have some of these things that you've been told you should have here in the United States, and they are still rioting right now because it's just very expensive. 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.560 Okay, it's very expensive. 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:44.399 Why are black people, the black community, why are we so enamored by this? 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:54.560 Why are we enamored by socialism and uh communism and Marxism, the idea of Karl Marx? 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:56.800 Why are we so enamored by this? 00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.439 You know, FD Signifier, I looked at his video the entire four hours. 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:04.959 First off, in four hours, you need to offer a solution. 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:08.959 You need to be giving a solution to issues that you think exist. 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:19.920 You don't need to just take me to a place where you're talking about black leadership, and then all of a sudden you go on this emotional tangent about um killer mic. 00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.800 We are communicated through entertainment. 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:33.679 We like entertainers, and that's why the Democratic Party continues to communicate to you through entertainment. 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.000 By the way, I voted today. 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:39.360 By the time you hear this, early voting is still going on. 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:40.240 You need to go vote. 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:41.440 Get out and vote. 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.279 Research the candidates. 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:45.360 I'm a victim of that myself. 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:53.279 I mean, we only pay attention to certain candidates or certain parts of the election, and we don't look at the other people that's running and research them well at all. 00:08:53.919 --> 00:09:03.919 And no, I'm not just gonna vote Democrat because black people are standing outside with pamphlets with black faces on pamphlets and telling me, let's have a good day today. 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:05.600 What does that mean? 00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:09.919 What does that mean? 00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:21.600 And the reason why I even brought up FD Signifier is because he's made some uh remarks to Killer Mike in you know, in regards to Killer Mike saying he's a capitalist. 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:26.080 And how capitalism won't work for black people. 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:27.200 That's what he's saying. 00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:29.679 Why do we separate ourselves? 00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.240 Why do we separate ourselves from the nation? 00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:39.519 We make our own group of people, we we separate ourselves even more than the quote unquote white man does. 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:48.480 We separate ourselves from this nation that has a government that has an economic system that is working. 00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.679 Let's understand what capitalism is, okay? 00:09:53.840 --> 00:10:10.559 So, capitalism, predominantly private ownership of productive assets, market competition, uh, profit incentives, private investment, entrepreneurship, government regulation, and public services can coexist with capitalism. 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:14.720 It can. 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:26.639 It can coexist with that, meaning that capitalism doesn't necessarily dictate all the laws and legislation, although, guess what? 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:28.960 Many politicians are corrupt. 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:32.559 They're lot they're lobbyists. 00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:40.559 This was a term that was created by FDR because these rich people would just sit in the lobby and champion for certain laws to get passed. 00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:42.720 I do think that that is an issue. 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.240 But I want you to understand the key part of capitalism should be competition. 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:55.919 Competition should be involved when we're talking about economy because things that need to fail, need to fail. 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:04.799 I don't think that uh banks should be bailed out. 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:08.720 I don't think that uh car companies should be bailed out. 00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:18.159 However, if it's gonna be an issue with the overall economy, if it's going to hurt us, if it's going to tank the economy, maybe the government does need to step in. 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.799 But that doesn't mean that we

shouldn't have regulations. 00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:25.840 But we need to understand what capitalism really is. 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:31.840 Capitalism is not a bunch of rich guys controlling the world because that's how people see it. 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.679 That's how people see it. 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.120 Let's look at socialism, okay? 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.200 Social, collective, or public ownership of productive assets. 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:47.679 Social, collective, or public ownership of productive assets. 00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:52.639 Different socialist traditions propose different levels of government involvement. 00:11:53.200 --> 00:12:00.159 Different socialist traditions propose different levels of uh different levels of government involvement. 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:09.759 Some favor centralized planning, others favor democratic institutions, worker ownership, or market socialism. 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:12.559 So this is the collective. 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:16.960 The collective is owning things, the collective is deciding what happens. 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:23.279 Um many socialist traditions, as it says, has some central planning. 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:29.759 So you're gonna have a group of people that are planning this out with the people. 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:31.200 It's supposed to work. 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.440 Like it sounds good, it sounds good, yeah. 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.440 It sounds good, kind of sounds good, right? 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.600 Kind of sounds like everybody's gonna work together to make this happen, but that typically doesn't happen. 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:40.960 So let's talk about communism. 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:46.720 Communism in Marxist theory, a classless and ultimately stateless society. 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:55.120 Historical communist party governments generally establish extensive state control over the economy and political institutions. 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:56.480 So this is classless. 00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.440 This is just kind of like, you know, um, everybody is the same. 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:03.279 We believe that everybody is the same. 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.080 We all have the same say with things. 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:08.639 Um dystopian. 00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:10.240 That definitely reminds me of that. 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:23.279 Social democracy maintains a predominantly capitalist economy, supports substantial social programs, uses taxation and regulation to reduce inequality, commonly associated with Nordic welfare state models. 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:40.320 Democratic socialism, let's talk about that because we've been hearing a lot about it, seeks socialist economic arrangements through democratic political institutions, often emphasizes public or worker ownership, should not automatically be equated with the uh Linist one-party government. 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.120 Okay, so Vladimir Lenin. 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:47.440 Um, where did socialism come from? 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:49.279 Where did this idea come from? 00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:56.960 I'm gonna do some paraphrasing here, okay, because uh we're we're on a time limit, but we're gonna revisit this. 00:13:57.039 --> 00:14:07.360 So this is probably gonna be broken up into a series, but we need to understand where uh socialism, communism, where do these concepts come from? 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:24.159 You've heard of Marxism, but there's a man named Karl Marx who uh was born in uh Prussia, Prussia, Prussia, Prussia, Prussia, um, which is now Germany, and he was an economist and a philosopher. 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:30.879 And essentially he believed that capitalists, the capitalists and the workers, that there's a divide there. 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.799 There's a there's a conflict of interest there. 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:41.120 And this conflict of interest causes more problems than it causes solutions. 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:47.039 And I just think if you hear it that way, you kind of think it of it like that today. 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:56.080 You look at capitalism as people that are getting, excuse me, uberly rich and are taking advantage of the workers. 00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:13.919 And in order to solve this problem, you have to develop something, some kind of economic system where it's more a co-op, where we can share the goods and we can share the services in a way to where there's really no private ownership that that's gonna work out better. 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:15.679 And that was his idea. 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:21.679 This was a theory, this was not really uh imposed in any kind of way. 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:23.039 This was media. 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:31.600 I want you to understand how important media is because he has writings on this and a philosophy that he puts out for people to ingest. 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:39.200 And so at the time, depending on where you were in the world, it made perfect sense. 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:42.879 It just hadn't been implemented, it hadn't been enacted. 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:47.039 No one had put this into service yet. 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:57.679 But obviously, just off the basic idea, first off, many of us take basic ideas, and if it hits us right there, we're ready to act at that time. 00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:59.600 That happens, that's just what it is. 00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:02.080 We are ready to act at that time. 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:15.759 And so when you look at a place like Russia, okay, that was under a monarchy, and we're talking about coming out of World War I. 00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:25.120 If you were to read this material and you're looking at what's happening to Russia, you know, post-war, let's look at some of the things that happened to Russia. 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:30.320 I wanna, I wanna, and I want to give some context as we talk about this. 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:32.559 I'm gonna go up in my notes. 00:16:32.879 -->

00:16:33.200 Okay. 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.480 And I want to talk a little bit more about uh Carl too, okay? 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:47.279 Because I did give some some some facts of him, but um he's a German-born philosopher, economist, and political theorist. 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:53.759 Um, he co-authored the Communist Manifesto in 1848 with Friedrich Engills. 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:55.360 I hope I said his name right. 00:16:55.679 --> 00:17:04.960 Um he criticized capitalism and private ownership of the productive capital, argued that capitalism generates conflict between capital owners and wage laborers. 00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:06.079 Said that. 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:15.359 Believe class struggle played a central role in historical change, anticipated the eventual replacement of capitalism by a different economic order. 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:22.640 So I want to talk about what was going on in Russia at this time because you got this guy, Vladimir Lenin, who's inspired by these writings. 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:24.480 He's inspired by this idea. 00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:47.759 You have widespread rural poverty, okay, unequal land ownership, okay, rapid but uneven industrialization, poor industrial working conditions, World War One, military casualties, food shortages, and inflation, growing dissatisfaction with the monarchy, political instability following the uh SARS abdication. 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:56.880 That's very important to understand because Russia is under a monarchy. 00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:13.440 There is no constitutional government here, there is no democratic society here, but there is control at the top, and so you Vladimir Lenin is, you know, reading this information. 00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:19.599 He's inspired by Karl Marx, and he says to himself, this is the way to go. 00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:26.640 We need a change, but how do we enforce a change? 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:28.880 What type of change do we have here? 00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:31.119 What's gonna happen? 00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:37.359 Okay, Vladimir Lenin is looked at as a Russian Marxist revolutionary, okay? 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:46.400 He is the leader of the Bolshevik faction, advocated a disciplined revolutionary political party, and led the Bolshevik seizure of power in October 1917. 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:57.119 He established a government that nationalized major industries and suppressed political opponents, introduced limited market reforms in 1921. 00:18:57.920 --> 00:18:58.240 Okay. 00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:20.160 Um 1917 is a very important year because in February there is a revolution that happens, and then a provisionary government comes in, and then um I believe in October, yes, October 1917, the Bolsheviks overthrow this government, and then of course he takes over. 00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:22.640 The Bolsheviks take over uh this government. 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:29.359 And uh let's I want to be very clear that uh Vladimir Lenin is a leftist. 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:31.680 He's a leftist. 00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:37.599 What was happening during the time that influenced this takeover? 00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:44.880 I just told you it was a monarchy, it was a complete um control of power at the top. 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:54.319 Now, something to note, I want to talk about this before we just, you know, we're just gonna talk. 00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:57.119 We're gonna get into this because I want you to think and use your brain. 00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:05.519 You know, when the Bolsheviks take over, when Vladimir Lenin takes over, um, he suppresses all other political opposition. 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.920 They are the central planners of the government. 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:14.720 They give say to what happens and how things go. 00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:23.039 Socialism and communism to date has more so been very much so experimental. 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:40.480 So when you say things like capitalism doesn't work, but we look at the United States and see that clearly it does, and then we go back and look at a place like Russia that has had many different changes over the uh as far as let's just talk about the 250 years that the United States have been around. 00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:55.440 Um it has it has changed a few times compared to us in the United States, which has had a constitutional government, we are a republic, a democratic republic, and um we have a free market here. 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:09.599 We are not under a monarchy, we do not have a monarchy here, so we need to establish that. 00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:23.119 I want to also talk about in Karl Marx's idea of socialism and communism, he doesn't there isn't enough time to talk about how capitalism can have reform. 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:29.200 And then you have to look at what's happening in that part of the world. 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:38.960 When you look at the forms of government and the type of leadership that these places have had, they have far more time than the United States has. 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:00.960 The same. 00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:04.160 Again, Marx has an idea. 00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:07.200 He has a philosophy here. 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:09.440 He has a philosophy. 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:13.359 This is a theory of his. 00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:18.240 But we're going to watch Vladimir Lenin actually enact this and put this in play. 00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:33.680 I mean, if you ask me, I don't think it's a total success because there are going to be many other changes to Russia moving forward. 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:54.559 And you're going to eventually find countries, you know, which Vladimir Lenin did this, he did allow some private uh ownership, uh, you know, entrepreneurship under his rule later on. 00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:56.880 Because it's hard not to. 00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:02.000 I mean, it's the same thing when you look at China. 00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:07.920 There's this talk of China and how

China has worked and look at what they're doing, which is a communist country. 00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:14.319 But look at how they, even though the government is heavily in charge of everything, I mean, it's a communist country. 00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:16.640 I mean, they are in charge of everything. 00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:30.240 They have the say, they have the final say, but they have allowed free enterprise, they've lied, they have allowed private ownership, they've allowed entrepreneurship to come in because they see that the free market works. 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:35.039 Things are expensive, yes. 00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:37.680 Things are very expensive. 00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:45.279 Um, but we have a government set up to where we can impose reform, and that's what we need to be seeking out. 00:23:47.359 --> 00:24:02.000 When these politicians get in office in this country, they are yes, they're wooed by money, they accept money, they accept donations, and they are uh they are persuaded to legislate a certain way, yes. 00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:19.200 But we the people have to start to investigate this, seek these individuals out, and we have to come the things that we can do as a people, since we want to come together and talk about socialism and communism, we have to come together with our dollars and get behind the candidate and support that candidate. 00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:24.160 Money is going to solve issues, money solves problems. 00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:26.559 Also, there are people who love money. 00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:29.920 Ken Paxton, yes, Ken Paxton loves money. 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:32.480 A lot of those conservatives love money. 00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:40.480 Donald Trump, they're they're going to get rich, and in the process, they don't have any real integrity. 00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:47.519 We have to begin to get to a place to where we're calling this out on both sides. 00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:53.039 So you may hear me talk about conservative ideals because I'm very much more conservative. 00:24:53.279 --> 00:25:04.079 Um, I'm I'm going to lean towards being more Republican, but I can call it out when it's bullshit because at the end of the day, we've all lost our way on both sides. 00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:07.920 We have lost our way on both sides. 00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:27.680 But what I don't want you to get confused is that what we're living in right now, the form of government we have right now, is anything like this that you want to enact when we're talking about socialism and communism, because it ain't the same, and the situation that they were going through in that Bolshevik revolution ain't what you're going through. 00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:34.400 And I would argue that France, Paris is burning right now because they wanted to have a bunch of free shit. 00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:36.400 But guess where that money's gonna come from? 00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:49.359 You you're going to suffer in a situation where you do not allow

free competition, where you don't allow things to just happen naturally in the free market. 00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:56.559 There is supposed to be a natural um way of movement there, and that's that mimics life. 00:25:56.799 --> 00:25:58.400 Survival of the fittest. 00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:00.960 It works, good, it doesn't, great. 00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:09.599 You're doing something, competition drives um creativity, uh, it it it drives creation of new things. 00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:11.039 That's what happens. 00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:17.119 In that sense, when conservatives talk about less government, I do agree with that. 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:24.079 We need to allow some natural um, you know, things should happen naturally. 00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:27.599 However, what happens is corruption comes in. 00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:30.400 But that's where we all have to, guess what? 00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:40.720 Not just go off of things on the surface, really get into what's going on, and then really force a change, force our politicians to change or get them out. 00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:46.000 That's what has to happen. 00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:53.839 Do you think that the black community is gonna thrive under communism and socialism? 00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:54.799 Is that what you think? 00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:56.160 You really believe that? 00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:02.640 You believe that the black community would thrive under socialism and communism. 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:13.599 How you're gonna get lumped in with everyone else, and at 13% of the nation, your best bet is capitalism. 00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:28.720 Your best bet is getting some money in your pocket, investing in your community, getting with others that look like you, or maybe not look at you, and doing what you want with your money, investing it in some program, infrastructure, whatever it is, in your community and making it better. 00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:30.480 What else is better than that? 00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:31.920 Only in America. 00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:34.880 Only in America can you do these things. 00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:41.680 Only in America can someone be down on their luck one minute and totally go up the next. 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:02.240 And the freedoms that it gives. 00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:08.720 Patrick Henry said, give me liberty or give me death. 00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:12.720 The United States is about liberty and fighting for it. 00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:15.519 This is the land of the free and the home of the brave. 00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:16.960 We have forgotten that. 00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:20.720 And this is why I said nationalism is a thing. 00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:24.240 Y'all attack me in the comments and y'all can put the little coon. 00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:27.279 I'm gonna say coon, I'm gonna say white, I'ma say all these words. 00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:32.720 I'm not gonna be, I am not going to center myself in a place where we should have freedom of speech. 00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:42.720 How do you think that that is a white-owned or a whitewashed idea to have nationalism? 00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:49.839 You need to understand why this country exists so you can stay away from shit like this, or even thinking that this is gonna be a thing. 00:28:50.000 --> 00:29:03.200 Because all on your timeline now, as you see Paris burning, you're gonna start to begin to say that this is the type of government we should have, and we believe in this, and I think that this is, you know, because things are too high, we need some kind of change. 00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:04.960 What change are you gonna put in? 00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:18.319 And and the crazy part of this, on the left, you have people that are being set in front of you that truly believe in real socialism, they have no allegiance to the country. 00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:22.799 They have no real allegiance to this country. 00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:34.480 And they've come from places that have different forms of government and economies where it's more centrally controlled, and that is a problem. 00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:44.400 We are living in a nation where even though we have corruption and we have some issue, we can confront it and get it changed if we get well informed. 00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:56.559 But we can't allow people to get in front of this screen, don't encourage you to go research the information, and you just take what they say at face value, like FD signifier, talking about capitalism won't help black people. 00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:59.759 And there's an undertone of socialism to his rhetoric, too. 00:29:59.920 --> 00:30:06.319 Black people have always fallen victim to this because we are the or have been the subjugated group. 00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:09.119 Martin Luther King talked about socialism. 00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:13.359 Many black revolutionaries did because we thought that this was the fate. 00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:17.440 This we thought that this was the way to fight racial disparity. 00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:27.039 The way to fight racial disparity and the way to fight um um uh uh discrimination is through legislation. 00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:31.039 You are in a again, a republic, democratic republic. 00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:38.319 You have to invest in your politics, and you have to sometimes fight for your politics. 00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:40.559 That's why you have the right to protest. 00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:57.920 You protest something, and sometimes, unfortunately, things have gotten violent for black people, but we've gotten legislation to change, and you want to make sure that that legislation is enforced, and you need to fight for the right to be able to have economic freedom through capital. 00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:03.920 You need access to capital, we need to come together to get that capital. 00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:11.039 We need to find ways to get capital the way everyone else has by continuing to protest, fight, whatever the case may be. 00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:17.359 But we need to start with investing in ourselves, we have to invest in our community. 00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:22.960 I don't think that black people need to be aligned with other communities that are anti-American. 00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:26.559 I do not believe that at all. 00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:32.000 Socialism and communism have has not worked. 00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:45.839 You cannot point out a society where it has worked, and if you find it that it's working, if you found that it's worked a little bit, is it truly a socialism or communist-driven community? 00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:47.519 Is it a hybrid? 00:31:47.680 --> 00:32:10.079 And I think a lot of times you're looking at hybrids the question I have to leave you with today is this in the United States of America, are we really oppressed? 00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:14.240 Do we really have it that bad? 00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:18.559 Does this form of government really not work? 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:25.920 And do you understand and know what socialism and communism really is? 00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:28.799 Do you know what it is? 00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:31.599 Have you studied it? 00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:35.440 Where in the world has it really worked? 00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:46.480 And would you really take a nation this great and burn it down?
