The Mark Moss Show - Talking with Aleks Svetski

and how technology changes the world as we know. Of course, the technological revolution we're talking about is bitcoin, and it's changing every aspect of our lives, which is gives me plenty of stuff to talk about, never ending amount of stuff to talk about, especially when I bring on some other people to help me share this information discuss the information, like my good friend Alex Spetzky, who's with in the

studio with me today. Welcome Alex. Thanks man. It's been a long time since I've been in l A. Yeah, man, we've we've done We've done several shows. I've had you on the radio show many times. Um, But the first time we've been together in the l A studio pretty cool. It's a little different being in the studio, get a little bit of different energy. Is I feel I feel professional for once in my life. This This is actually

the second time I've walked into a studio. The first time I walked into a studio was I did a podcast with Sean Purio. If you heard of my first million like a podcast. It's pretty well known podcast. It was in Silicon Valley and I remember walking in there. I was like, whoa, this is cool and it's kind of got that the sound like it's really interesting. Yeah. Yeah, the sound in here is cool. It just like sucks

the sound right out of here, which is nice. Um, when I recorded my office studio, something like a little bit of echo and reaver. But it's cool. But I want to dig into some some some fun stuff today. UM, So a couple of things. One, I want to talk about something that maybe people you know bitcoin, Um, it permeates every layer of society and so like there's almost an intersection of everything, and so we can almost take

any subject and then trace it back. But today we'll look at um, we'll look at Larry Fink from Black Rock said that the Russia Ukraine conflict could be the end of globalism. I've been talking about this end of centralization, of moving to decentralization. Of course bitcoin is helping to

usher that in. So we'll chase that down. Well, then we'll dive into the catalyst behind that, maybe what some of things putin said, um, some things into socialism, communism, we haven't maybe thought about, and then into um the Communist Manifesto where it started, and then we'll talk about a book that we just wrote called The Uncommunist Manifesto.

And if you're just tuning in, you can always just jump ahead and check that out uncommunist dot com if you want to see this new book that we just wrote. So well, we'll talk about it from the high level all the way down into the book, and we'll talk about communism, socialism and what what that means in the world today. So a lot of stuff. So the first thing I want to talk about, Alex is um. Obviously there's the current thing. You're wearing a shirt that says

I support the current thing. Uh, And the current thing right now is supporting Ukraine apparently apparently that or just arbitruarily hating Russians like pick poison. Yeah, we gotta support whatever whatever the current thing is now. You know, it's interesting when you say that's the hating Russians. You know, you look back at any war that we've ever had, like no people ever really hate the other people. It's just the leaders that get into this battle. They try

to drum us up through nash realism. To get us like, I'm sure you know you're from Australia, but um, I'm sure the sports fanatics are the same they're that they are in the US. So it's like our team and we won, and we did this, right, You didn't do anything he was seeing at home watching the TV. You've probably never even played the sport. Yeah, you know, I've

never played whatever. I've never played basketball. But all of a sudden, it's like my team and we did this kind of thing, and so they use this nationalism to get us on the team and to hate the other team. But the reality is, you know, we didn't hate the Germans, we didn't hate the Iraqis, and we don't hate Russians, and I'm sure Russians don't hate us unless they're getting caught up in the same nationalism. Probably do you think

they use nationalism in that way? I mean, that's a tough one because the thing is you need to have lived in Russia to to really experience that. Well, I'm just saying overall, like globally, governments using nationalism to try to kind of drum up that support. I don't know.

I I didn't think i'd give a valid answer to them perhaps, but I'm not sure if there's a I feel like incessant, constant brainwashing is something that's a little bit more And again I could be completely wrong on this, but if I feel like that's more a function of the West because we have such a media, um, a media culture, like we're always being bombarded by something, whereas

I don't know if that's the same of it. Well, the thing is is when it comes to war, and I don't want to spend a much time in the world wild jump pass this, but when it comes to war, is that I will I will defend my home until the end, right, I will defend my homeland until the end. But if I don't have that attachment to my home, if I'm a paid actor, if I'm a paid uh mercenary, I'm never going to have that same passion. And so in order to go to war, they have to get

people to buy into that my homeland, my home. Right otherwise you're just a paid mercenary and you'll just run first sort of first chance of adversary maybe, um, but but if we jump into that. So there's something that I shared with you earlier in the week, and I've been talking a lot about as I said the intro of this decentralized revolution. So the world has this pendulum has been swinging towards centralization, globalism, globalization, and now the

pendulum is about to swing back. Larry Fink, the CEO of Black Rock, said that this this could be the end of globalism. And if we look at the war on globalism, so if we start there, there's been this trend, the pendulum swing of globalism. And I shared something this week and it was that October. Well, right, now there's a concerted effort by the world to get Puttin out of office. We saw President Biden go on TV and say, we gotta get him out of here. He cannot stay.

There's something that effect regime change. Now, why why would we need to get rushed out? Well, he came in and he did mean things. Right, He's attacking Ukrainians. That's that's not right, and I'm not for that. Let's let's let the record state that I am not for war and killing people. But what's interesting is if we go to October eighteenth, Russian President Vladimir Putin went went and delivered a speech to Davos to the European Central Bank akers and he basically said, we want no part of

your globalism. And he said that, um, he said, we see the amusement, the paralysis unfolding in countries that have grown accustomed to viewing themselves as the flagship of progress. So people that think they're the flagship of progress, they have these problems. Of course, it's none of our business. But the social and cultural shocks that are happening in some of the western countries, and he's talking about this woke is m He said. The recipes they come up

with are nothing new. The Bolsheviks followed the dogmas of marks and ingles, and they also declared that they would go into the change the traditional lifestyle, the political, the economic lifestyle, as well as the very notion of morality and the basic principles for a healthy society. They were trying to destroy age old century long values, revisiting the relationship between the people. They were encouraging informing of one's own beloved and families. It was held as a march

of progress, and it was very popular. It was supported by many, and as we see, it is happening again right now. So what are these uh, what are these teachings? The Bolsheviks came up with from Marx and ingles that you think that are being revived that we've seen have

a history of of death of destruction. I mean the big one is group identities and and group identity politics, Like you know, this idea of oppressed or oppressed, and you know everyone's oppressed by someone, and you know that this incessant encroachment of rights with a complete disregard to responsibilities which sit on the other side of the leger

to rights. You know. But before I take into that, I just wanted to mention something about you know, you said Larry Fink pointed out that this could be the end of globalism. I mean it's that's almost kind of like stating that, you know, someone throws a brick through a window and then pointing out that now the wind is going to get in. Like it's kind of a pretty evident thing. So you know that the fact that Larry Fink has stated it, I mean, you know, for them,

I don't think they really care. They're just going to position themselves in whatever manner that helps them, because I don't think girl is a friend of the people anyway. Um, but you know, the the the end of globalism is going to happen whether we want it or not, because the larger the system gets, the more ossified it becomes, and as a result, the more fragile it is, so so it'll it'll break under some sort of tension or pressure.

And the thing is like, you can't unless you completely kill a living system, you can't sterilize it, like you can't just be fixed. Um. And as soon as you kind of fix everything in the system and like you know, structure, and it's like globalism and we're all the same, we're all going to do the same thing, like something's going to give. Um. So I've always said that the question is like we're going to move back to a more

fragmented world. Are we going to have the world fall on top of us and have nothing left like, or we're going to kind of consciously try and move towards you know, more conscious, localized world and all that sort of stuff, like are we going to actually focus on cleaning up our own room instead of telling what telling other people what they should do with every It's like a good point. Um Putin said something else here that I want to dig into, um that I think is

kind of foretelling it actually adds to exactly what you're saying. UM, and I want to read another one of Putin's quote and we're gonna talk about why this speech October eighteenth probably lead to where we're at today. I'm in the studio with Alex Fetzki. UM. We're talking about the wars rush of Ukraine, what this really means for globalism, UM, communism, and then we're talking about our book that we just wrote. It's called the uncommunst Manifesto. You can find on Uncommunist

dot com. Uncommunist dot com. If you're listening to the Mark Mos Show, will be right back with more. Do not go away, all right, welcome back. You are listening to the Mark Ma Show. We're talking about the decentralized revolution that is changing the world right before our very eyes. Of course bitcoin being the catalyst for that, UM, but we're talking about something on a bigger level today that we're diving into. I'm in the studio with my good friend Alex Fetzky. Him and I just released a book

this last week called the Uncommunist Manifesto. We took the Communist Manifesto and we rewrote it. UM. It's an easy book. It's an easy book to read. We'd love free to support it. Check it out at Uncommunist dot com. Uncommunist dot com check that out. But Alex, you were saying before the break that it's, uh, you can't sterilize this.

These systems and a lot of these problems come from that, and so m Another piece that he said here was he said that some people believe that this is this is putin quote from putin Um given a speech at the World that comic for him. He said, some people leave that the aggressive blotting out of whole pages of

your own history. The affirmative action and the interest of minorities, and the requirement to renounce the traditional interpretation of such basic values as mother, father, family and the distinction between sexes are a milestone and a renewal of renewal of society. So that's the that makes me think of what you just said, the sterilization is that is that kind of what you're thinking about. When you try to do that, you get rid of all that history that sterilizes it. Yeah,

it does. I mean, you know, when there's a I don't know who said this or whether I made it up or whatever, but like when everything matters. Nothing matters. So it's like you say, when you're when you're when you're too busy, that's a lack of priorities. Yeah. So

so it's like everything is losing meaning. Um, and you know, we kind of live in this morass of moral relativity where like nothing is fixed, nothing is objective, everything is subjective, nothing means anything, and it's like that there's no there's no rooting, there's no grounding to anything. And in doing so, yeah, you you actually you kill off that which was naturally like kind of you know, you perceive things as dirty because they're kind of fixed in a place. Now it's

like nothing means anything. So like now that nothing everything means something, so that nothing means anything, so let's just get rid of it all. And it's kind of like a movement towards nihilism and like hopelessness. It's it's it's weird. But I want to dig into the what he talks about. Okay, uh. First off, so he made this speech in October to the world that coming for him, saying we want none of what you're doing. We see what you're doing to

the west wokesm um. As he says here that's breaking down mother, father, family, distincts between sexes, all that we don't want any of that. Now, this is very similar to a speech that Donald Trump gave in Davos in two thousand seventeen. We don't want globalism, We reject that. And Donald Trump became enemy number one, and al Putin gave a very similar speech, and now all of a sudden, he's enemy number one in the world. Surprise, surprise, Yeah, surprise, surprise.

Do you think there's any correlation there? Of course, I mean at the end of the day that this is. This is again like what was saying earlier about like the fragmentation of the world, Like the best way to deal with things in the world and in lash is just deal with yourself first. Like this is the Jordan Peter esque thing, right, is like clean your room and stop running around telling everyone else to do with with

what to do with their room. And that's the problem with these kind of like weff like you know, WF the characters and these DeVos characters, is like they project their own lack of self control and self restraint on everyone else, and as such, they believe that they are the saviors who have come to control us all because without them, you and I won't know what to do, like we we don't know how to make decisions, like we can't feed ourselves, we don't know how to clothe ourselves.

We wouldn't know where to work, like, so we must have them to build structures for us. You know, it's just it's it's weird, man, And you know putting is like, hey, I don't want anything to do with this, Like we've done pretty well over the last years since the wall came down, like we've rebuilt this country. Um. And to his credit, he hasn't like bent over for them. But there's a price to pad. I guess yeah, and specifically, Um, we'll dig into this piece back with us. I already

read it. Um. He talked about the Bolsheviks. He said, the recipes they come up with are nothing new. The Bolsheviks followed the dogmas of marks and ingles. I wanna talk about that right there, so um they He originally talked about the blotting out of history. So even if history is bad, we shouldn't blot it out because we should learn from good and bad. But even if it's bad, we should still know about it so we don't repeat it. Um,

those who don't know history abound to repeat it. But he said, but but Russia specifically went through a very bad time in the nineteen hundreds because of the Bolsheviks revolution. Arguably they were the first to experience this that we're experiencing now, right. Hundreds of well not hundreds, I think it was a or fifty million people died. Sometimes to count that, ye who knows how to even count that? But so, so he has this experience of hindsight, like,

hang on, hang on, hang on. Last time, these same ideas, as he calls it, the Bolsheviks followed the dogmas of marks and ingles. They declared they would go in to change the traditional lifestyle and the political and economic lifestyle. So he said, last time we saw this happened. It led to the Bolshock Revolution, and it was not good for Russia. And we spent whatever seventy eight years going through that. And now to your point, the last years we've been able to build this back up. Why would

we go do that same thing again? Makes no sense? So let's talk about that. Let's talk about the dogmas of marks and ingles and trying to change traditional lifestyle, politics and economical lifestyle. Because that's what we just wrote. We were just we we took the Marks and Ingles book, which is the Communist Manifesto, was written in the late seventeen hundred, about hundreds and five years ago. We rewrote it. It's called the Uncommunist Manifesto. You can check it out

uncommunist dot com. So we spent a lot of time reading this book, dissecting it, and rewriting it. So let's talk about that. The dogmas and marks and ingles traditional lifestyle, politics and economic lifestyles. What does what does that mean? Well, I mean we're in that book or what are the dogmas?

I guess the dog mizzole kind of revolve around this um a couple of key ideas, right, So you've got the oppressed and oppressed, and you know, apparently all of history is just the story of one oppressure and one oppressed class whatever that means. UM kind of ignored the

fact that we're always struggling against everything. Like, I mean, if that's the case, then you know you must hate yourself because you've also oppressed yourself in the past, because you know, you struggle against your future self, your past self, like all that sort of stuff. So we're always struggling against something, But that's kind of one of the things.

But I think the more pernicious idea is even this, like this arbitrary classification of what Marks an Engles called the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, which they kind of at some point, like drew a line is kind of like really vague line that is open to interpretation of whoever the representatives or rulers are, which is the bourgeois is someone with capital or property, and the proletaria is supposed

to be the working class. But like where that line differentiates, like if I if I was born to a father who was a shoemaker, for example, or how a store or something like I'm by marksis definition automatically bourgeoisie, so I should have all of my property? Right? Where is the line taken from you? Exactly? Where is the line? Who draws it? And and what that does actually is it creates a disincentive for people to want to build up capital and owned property, and it creates an incentive

for those without property to steal the property. But then it's like this weird kind of ground. It's like you want to take someone's property, but you don't want to be considered the bourgeois e because then you have property, so it's like you've got confiscated property, so you've done it for the good of the people. So it's like it's like a cancer in society. So it's like this dogma of us against them, and we take instead of build for ourselves, and we don't want to climb up

the classes. We want to bring everybody down to our level. Super dangerous. Yeah, And because who draws that line? Where is that line? Who's moving that line? And so if U if I happen to make whatever that line is, if I make enough money where now I'm the BOURGEOISI does that automatically mean that I'm oppressing people? And then like if I lose a little bit of income, then do I drop back down into the proletariat? Now I'm being oppressed, Like it's like it's it's it's crazy, Um,

you're usen to the Markma Show. We're talking about the decentralized revolution in the way the world is losing changing from the globalization. I'm in the studio with Alex Fetzki. We are discussing a brand new book we're just launched called The Uncommunist Manifesto. Check it out at Uncommunist dot com. Uncommunist dot com. It's a short read. We just launched a kickstart to go check it out. You're listening to the Markmas Show. Will be back with more in a second.

Do not go away, all right, Welcome back. You are listening to the markma Show where we talk about each and every week the Decentralized Revolution, talking about the way the world is changing. It's maxing out on the on the pendulum on centralization, on globalism, globalization, and swinging back

to decentralization. Of course, it's being led by bitcoin, the technology, the technological revolution that's giving us the decentralized revolution, and it's going through every area of society and we're seeing the whole world change because of its always technology that changes the world, and we're seeing it right right now before ever eyes. We're seeing with the rush of Ukraine War being one of the big catalysts to end globalism as we know it. Um I'm in the studio with

Alex Fetzki, him and I just released a book. It's actually on launch right now on Kickstarter, Uncommunist Manifesto. You can find it at Uncommunist dot com. We'd love for you to go check it out and support it if you can. It's a very cheap help us spread the word. But anyway, we're dissecting that book but really looking at the Reshu Ukraine War and digging into this this transition,

and um, I'm talking about President um Putin. Valdimir Putin went to the WF in October of last year and gave a speech saying, we want none of your WOKESM. We don't want it. And now he's enemy number one, no matter how Trump is or Trump was in after you do the same thing. And so it looks like

Putin was rejecting globalism and now he's enemy number one. UM, I'm not gonna dike super deep into that, but um, Alex, we were talking about a quote that he said, which I think is important because of trying to understand what the commonest manifesto was and where we dug in as he said that Marks and Ingles declared they would go and to change the traditional lifestyle, the political lifestyle, and the economic lifestyle. Seems like the three things and and

the very notion of morality. So those four things seemed like what what Putin called the basic principles of a healthy society in the in the Communist Manifesto that we rewrote on communist dot com. Are those the four things that we kind of saw lifestyle, political, lifestyle, economic, lifestyle, morality pretty much. I mean it's like, you know, the Communist Manifesto was a declaration for the original Great Reset. It's like kind of classes, like the the reincarnation of marks.

In a sense, it's funny. It's funny you say that because the Commons Manifesto led to the largest revolution in European history. Yes, seriously, it was. It was the original great reset, like the O G version and and and that's what effectively they wanted to do across you know, these three lenses traditional, political, economic, is that let's reset it that there's no more family, there's um, there's no

more uh, you know, multiple classes. Now there's like everyone is the same, and you know we somehow elect you know, a representative to you know, represent all of us somehow. I don't even know how that would even find UM. And the economic rules they wanted to completely reset them, like you'll learn nothing to be happy, Yeah exactly. But I mean it's literally a carbon copy, just with a variation in words, because you remember, like Marx was like that we can sum up communism in one phrase, the

abolition of private property. You will own nothing. And Marks's whole premise of communism was that you will be happy on this system. So they're saying the same thing, just in a in a new age spin literally literally. So that so they must have got the marketing team in there to read the book and say, how can we make the communist manifesto cool again? So I mean, like one of the elements, like so I want to touch

on economics. So in in the communist Manifesto there's the ten points of communism and two of the ones which always strike me, and I think a lot of people don't realize this is the progressive taxation and a central bank that issues all money like that didn't really exist back then, right, there was a whole lot of private banks in the a whole lot of like gold issuance, and like, I mean, we weren't on a perfect gold standard at any really particular point in time, but that

was really like the driver of economic progress at the time. And with that driver of economic progress, like the so called bourgeoisie or the what what I like to think of as the competent entrepreneurial class rose up and overturned

the system, and rightly so. They used math, science, economics, entrepreneurialism to to build wealth where wealth didn't exist before um And you know, Marx's doctrine was like, no, we should have money issued by a central authority, central bank, and we should you know, I think he called it heavy progressive taxation, which, mind you, in so called capitalist nations today like America and Australia and Canada and basically the whole West, what are two of the core tenants

of the entire central banking and progressive taxation? It's actually what what? Just this week President Biden came out with this new tax a billionaire tacks if you make over a hundred million or worth over hunter million, well tax on your unrealized cap games. Yeah, I mean, we'll see if it goes through. But my point, or to to your point, progressive, heavy progressive tax that's heavy. Yeah. So so I mean, this is this is the thing. It's like,

we think we live in capitalism and we don't. We actually live in these you know, quasi communist states, and we're wondering why things are unraveling, and you've got these other players who are trying to rise up and kind of reject those doctrines which are not new, like the

Great Reset the ideas within the Classes book, they're not new. No, it's just likely, just like which is interesting because again, uh, Putin has the benefit of hindsight because his country was affected by that, the Bolshevik Revolution, and he says followed the dogmas and marks of ingles um and he knows it well, right, Um, lifestyle, political, economic, and the very notion of morality, which he calls the basic principles for

healthy society. So, um, you were saying that when everything matters, nothing matters, and so kind of like with that notion of morality as he's as he's calling it here, Um, is it relative moral relativism? Right? Like everything goes anything goes up is down? Left is right? Men or women two plus two is five? Whatever? Right, Well, that's what

ein Rand warned about in both her books. Right, So she left the Bolshevik Revolution like she escaped Russia during that revolution, and she transformed that idea, particularly of moral relativism.

So so that was she kind of framed that as the cancer which brought down Russia, and she came to America as the new place, and she wrote a whole series of books which took these ideas and transformed them into like a beautiful philosophical narrative and story which is like the story is compelling, you want to read it, but you actually learn the message through it, and you see how moral relatives and basically unwinds and dissolves this society. Yeah,

that's movie out today. Yeah, when there's no such thing as right and wrong and there's no there's no rules and all these things. So, by the way, the books that alex is talking about is um Atlas Shrugged, which is one of my favorites, and definitely read that. The

fountain Head is another one of our very popular ones. Um, if you're if you're like a lot of people today and you're addicted dopamine and you can't read a book, Um, you can watch the movie of Atlas Shrugged, which isn't as good as read the book, but listen to the audiobook. The audiobook, Yeah, I don't think the movies were that bad. They had good actors, and I think you still get

a lot of the message. So if you can't read a book, watch the movie at least at least But but if you can't read a book, interesting you know this side note? Um, you know, I think you know. Like two weeks ago, a week and a half ago, I went down to Mexico for five days on a dirt bike ride. And I'm down there in Mexico and we went to a section of the Baja Peninsula as we call it, the never Never. There's no cell phone service, there's no nothing there. And we spent a couple of

days there with the helmets on. And uh, even now, like a week and half later, like I come back and I don't want to turn my phone on. I don't want to go on social media. I don't even want to look at my email. And even today, like a week week and half later, I still from that dopamine fast. I still don't even want to engage in social media. It's crazy, um anyway alongside nope, um, but anyway, Yeah, it's it's just crazy. How I guess the pain of seeing it happened in the past of a putin like

he he knows exactly what's happening. He doesn't want any of it. Um does that does that make put In a good a good guy in your eyes. Well, I'm not here to question. I don't. I don't think anybody's good or bad. I think we all do things that are good and we all do things that are bad. Right, So, um, you know that's like trying to decide I'm I'm all in on a Republican or a Democrat or a Libertarian. It's like I'm not all in on anybody's ideology, right,

like the shades of it. Right. Um, I'm sure Putin has done plenty of good things, and I'm sure he's done plenty of bad things. And I'm and I'm definitely not for bombing and killing people in Ukraine. I think that's a bad thing. Um. And I don't want to get into this, but you know, was he provoked? I mean it looks like he was, But again I don't. I don't really want to dive into that. So I

don't know if he's a good or bad thing. But what I do think is I think he's doing what he thinks is best for his people, as opposed to sacrificing his people for the global good. Yeah, And I think that distinction is really important because at least I mean, what bit that I've heard in the hood from people that because because I've got I mean, I'm not Russian. Let's let's let's let's table that. We'll come back onto that because I want to hear what you have to say.

But um, you're listening to the Mark mo Show. We're talking about the decentralized Revolution. We're talking about the way the world is changing right now. I have Alex Fetzki in the studio and we're talking about, um, what Putin said about the teachings of marks and ingles, and how we just rewrote the book The Communist Manifesto to a new book called the Uncommunist Manifesto. You can check out at Uncommunist dot com. Please check it out and supported

Uncommunist dot com. We're we'll come back with the answer to what Alex is about to talk about in a second, So do not go away. We'll be right back. All right, Welcome back here, listening to the Mark Show. I'm in the studio with Alex Fetzki. We're discussing the decentralized Revolution, how the world is changing right now and how what

was old has become new again. We're talking specifically about a quote that that Putin made to the World Dot Coming Forum in just about six months ogo October last year, saying he wanted no part of this globalist agenda of Wokesm and he said the Bolsheviks followed the teachings of

Marx and Ingles. And of course, Alex and I just launched a book called The Uncommunist Manifesto where we broke down the teachings of Marx and Ingles, the conresh Manifesto, and we flipped it upside down in a new book. You can check it out at Uncommunist dot com. That's Uncommunist dot com. Now, Alex, before the break, Um, you were about to say something about Putin. Is he a good? Oh? Putin maybe is good and he's bad, but maybe he's at least working in the best interests of his people

versus sacrifices people for the greater global good. Yeah. I think what I wanted to touch on is that you know, people by my name I always think I'm actually Russian, So so you know, fill the record, I'm not, you know, uh so so this isn't something like, you know, I'm in support of Putting or anything, But um, I I know people like I've got friends all across Eastern Europe because my parents are Macedonian, so Eastern European, and I've

got friends in Ukraine and Russia. And from what I actually understand from people on the ground is that the so called attack is not like a random, blind, fucking blunt force attack. It's actually quite surgical. So that's that's what I've heard at least. But anyway, I just wanted to say that because it's, um, I think it's very easy to get caught up in the in the madness, like every time you turn the news on, uh, you know, it's like it's always funny to watch the language. You know,

Russia allegedly bombs nursing home Russia. So so they it's it's all like a style basically. Yeah, it's total narrative. Yeah anyway, So um, but back but back to the teachings of Marks and English. That's what I really want to focus on. Was just this Bolshevik the dogmas, if you will, and so they wanted to change change these things and put people into these boxes, but it broke down, um,

the principles of healthy society. To Putin's comment here, and so you know that book was written Hunters and a five years ago. And at the time it was written, um, at the kind of the start of the industrial revolution, um, and things probably were different. Right. We had families that used to work on the farms together, and now the families probably went to the factories together, and so you probably had kid labor. And I'm guessing these machines were

brand new. They probably weren't very safe when there was probably people getting hurt. And probably at that time most of it was all money capital. Um. There wasn't an information age. There was no intellectual capital really at the time. Um. And so maybe it was written at that point in time. But today we have the benefit of hindsight to one realized, well, the world didn't didn't work the way he said. Now

we have intellectual capital. Two kids don't work anymore. Um. But most importantly, all these ideas that have been tried have resulted in failure a hundred percent of the time, including the Bullshevik revolution that Putin talked about. So now

we have the benefit of hindsight, We totally do. I mean the thing about like working your way up, it's kind of like the classics thing of pull yourself up by bootstraps, right, is that you know, when you're young, when I think of human society is like an organism that is similar to a human being as an organism. Is that you know when when you're when you're young and dumb and stupid, like you go out and you work your butt off and you make all the mistakes,

you do things all the wrong way. But in the process of like learning, you become better. If you're able to learn, and you become more competent, you know, you become wealthier. Like it's it's perfectly normal for someone who's worked forty years to be wealthier than someone who's worked two years like that, that's normal, like and and this is this is the progression that societies have to go through.

They have to go through that adolescent phase, which is effectively when he was around he was complaining about basically the the emergence of a wealthy, more capitalist oriented society. He was complaining about that, but he was complaining basically about society growing through its you know, Todd La phase, I would argue, is that's where we were. So he wrote that at that time. But now to your point, right,

the world's change, we have benefit of hindsight. So the book that we wrote Uncommunist dot Com Uncommist Manifesto, UM, the goal was to kind of show that these ideas were written at this time, but actually there's a different way totally. I mean, like that. A couple of things we tried to do in there was obviously what I mentioned earlier about the access of the struggle, right, it's not just some arbitrary oppressing oppressing me all the time.

Because if we if we fall into that mentality, what happens is you don't you don't take ownership and responsibility of your own situation. Like it's always someone else's fault. You know, you're always the victim. It's always like, oh, it's because i'm you know, I'm this race, or I'm this gender, or I'm this person, or I'm that I was born in this situation, I had this parents, I went to this school. It's the book is then trying

to show people that they're not victims well correct. So I think that's a big part of our book is that to say that, hey, you know, the revolution that is actually happening now, which is part of this decentralized revolution, is the revolution or the renaissance of responsibility, Like the pendulum has to swing back to responsibility because the world we live in now is one in which it's a vacuum of responsibility. No one's responsible for anything. Everyone's passing

the blame to someone else. It's like it's you know, the fuel prices are not our fault, it's Putting's fault. Like you know, the dog ate my lune, the dog ate my homework basics, it's like consistent. So I think that's one of the big pieces is that, hey, you know, group identity politics, just blaming everyone for the rest of you life doesn't help, you know, It's it's about the individual claiming autonomy and responsibility and realizing that the struggle

is multifaceted. So really the only decision you need to think about is do you want to coercively take from someone or do you want to produce something cooperate with others. So I think that was like one of the important acts is Yeah, I think that the good one. And uh, it's meant it's meant to encourage, it's meant to so a lot of people probably have never read, so Putin

knows the dogmas of marks and ingles very well. Most people probably haven't ever taken the time to even understand what it's saying, and so one's meant to highlight that, but then to show this other side and and encourage as well. I think also UM in the Communist Manifesto he he he outlined all the different forms of communism, and so we took a time to outline all the

forms of what people consider capitalism. And I think this is really helpful for people because I think, you know, you made the point earlier that UM, people think we have a capitalist system, but we don't, and people just don't understand that. And so we've kind of taken the time to break down the different forms of what people consider capitalism. We don't, but we break it down and

so people can understand that. Maybe give them um the understanding and then the the firepower to go have conversations with other people. Totally. Yeah, it's funny. I just recorded that chapter in the in the other studios, so he's he recorded the chapter for the audio book that's coming out. We're give it away UM with the Kickstarter campaign, So if you want to go check that out, you can get an Uncommunist dot com and you get the audio

book as well. But go ahead. Indeed, so I recorded that chapter just then and it was just it was interesting rereading it again because I haven't read it now since I had it a couple of months ago, and it's it's refreshing going through those because I think we made a compelling case about just separating in people's minds, like, hey, you know, capitalism is is a is a natural, organic process. We all go through it. We're all cooperating, producing, we're

creating something. It's you know, and all these things that people confuse it with the more confiscatory in nature. Yeah. Yeah, it's uh, it's a book that we hope can really go viral. We'd love for you to check it out. Also, Alex and I will both be signing copies of this book, presenting them at my event coming up very soon as called Market Disruptors Live. You can check out Market Disruptors Live dot com. Come to meet a bunch of speakers.

We got Luke Gramin and George Gammon, myself, Harry Dent, Daniel DiMartino Booth. Of course, Alex Fetzki and I will be there signing books. Check it out Market Disruptors Live dot com and check out the book. At Uncommunist dot com Uncommunist dot Com as well. Hopefully it can go viral like the Commerce Manifesto did, but instead of leaving a trail of death and destruction in its way, KI can revitalize the world for the better. That's our that's

our goal for the world. You're listening to the Mark Moss Show. We talked about the intersection of politics, finance, and technology, talking about the decentralized revolution, the way the world is changing, and bitcoin is the catalyst for that. Technology is always the catalyst for the way the world changed. I've been the studio with Alex Fetzki. We've been talking about our new book that just got released on Kickstarter, Uncommunist dot Com, and that's it. I appreciate you tuning in.

Check out those links that we that I dropped for you, and thanks for listening.
