Communist revolution

Who was Bernard Baruch a representative of? Rothschild and Company.

So the guys that put the New Dealers into power, roughly at the exact same time as they were pulling off a communist revolution in Russia, the very first thing that these men did once they got in, if you can call them that, once they got into power was attack the WASP aristocracy.

In fact, the biggest critics of FDR were the Roosevelt family.

Like the level of class traitor and family traitor that FDR is, is barely understood.

Keep going.

That would be very, very interesting to know.

And for those of you who don't know what we're talking about, um, the Communist Revolution was funded in its entirety by two people.

Um, Jacob Rothschild and Mr. Jacob Schiff.

Yeah.

I mean, so with Rebecca Karl, we're going to talk through that whole history of the Dynamax all the way through our map, right, from the Cultural Revolution through the, well, sorry, from the Communist Revolution through the Great Leap Forward, through the Cultural Revolution, right, the incredibly erratic collection of developments that happened there.

And then we get the reform and opening up era.

which is perhaps where you're saying a sort of version of Chinese neoliberalism begins, right, through Jiang Zemin, through Hu Jintao, and then of course, right now to Xi Jinping.

When we're thinking about the Xinhai Republican Revolution, which happens in 1911, is the revolution that happens and displaces the dynastic regimes of China, stretching back many thousands of years.

When the communists are interpreting that, they have to say, this was a bourgeois revolution.

Not that it's a particularly Chinese revolution, but that it's a border revolution that fits China and the later communist revolution into a universalist history.

Because in classical Marxist sort of stage theories of history, there must be a border revolution, then you have capitalism, and then there's a communist revolution.

She was relabeled Catherine the Great.

And when the Jesuits suppressed themselves, they ran to Russia and made a home for themselves, and they ceded the Communist Revolution there.

200 years later.

It was Augustine writing against private property in his critique before the fall of man and Aquinas backing him up.

But, but he is a ruthless political operator.

I mean, this is a man who has recently been purging childhood friends whose fathers fought together in the Communist Revolution.

If Trump thinks that there's some sort of favor to be granted and that will pay dividends in the long term, he's, he's a fool.

You know, he, he is a, a ruthless operator, and he will continue to be one regardless of how nice they're appearing to each other.

And, you know, I should mention that, of course, a lot of what he was saying was before we actually saw all the examples.

It was before the, the Chinese Revolution, Communist Revolution in 1949.

Orwell was writing during the ni- 1940s.

Uh, and it was before we really knew the depth of the criminality of the inhumane treatment of the Russian people and then, uh, the Eastern European spread of communism after World War II.

It's the same with the Russian Revolution.

It's the same with the Communist Revolution.

Every revolution basically goes this way.

It starts out with these grand moral claims for justice.
