Hello, it is I Soy-Boy SJW Feminazi Cultural
Marxist Regressive Cuck who definitely doesn't
even lift.
So, a few years ago Ben Shapiro argued with
a dead man's song and failed miserably. John
Lennon's Anarcho-Communist anthem is somehow
taken out of context despite Shapiro literally
showing the context. But if you somehow haven't
heard of Mr Big Brain Shapiroid he likes to
paint himself as a reasonable, logical conservative.
So let's see what types of arguments he makes
[show thumbnails with Dies Irae playing.].
Okay… let's see him in one of these. Who
knows he could still be a somewhat reasonable
person (I already know he isn't I'm just doing
a bit).
So this person (I don't know their pronouns
so I'm not going to guess them) explains that
socialism is literally just people owning
the stuff they use to work (they are correct).
And Shapiro shows he is the position Richard
Wolff (a prominent Marxist professor) described
[play the socialism is when the government
does stufff clip]. He seems to think that
all socialism is state socialism (where the
state has the means of production) and seems
to miss the fact that many socialists (like
me) are against state socialism. I am somewhat
directed towards anarcho-communism. He does
realise that leftism has an entire scale of
authoritarianism, right? Like I am a libertarian
socialist and some people are pretty authoritarian.
This is pretty fucking basic stuff Shapirone.
Okay, I think that's a pretty okay introduction
to Mr Sharpie's ideas. Let's get this video
copyright claimed! Crap ummm let's address
Mr Shark's opinions on Imagine.
As I said in the introduction John Lennon's
song Imagine is kind of an anarcho-communist
anthem. Lines like [play clip]. I find it
to just be quite nice to listen to.
So Beans and Soup decided to… mock a man's
song on the anniversary of his murder… das
fucked up. He seems to hate the song (he called
it 'the single worst song in music history')
just for its politics and very simple chord
progression. He even calls it evil? And he
says if he were a censor he would burn it
in a bonfire. Why do people like this man?
It seems to take him as childish to imagine
a better world but here's the thing, change
begins when people think of how things can
be better. Life would be better if we… huh…
I don't know, have worker control of the means
of productions, incentivise worker co-ops,
abolish the police, eliminate unjust hierarchies
(like the ones capitalism and policing create),
and maybe a few other things. Shapiro, it's
not childish to imagine change, you're just
trying to invalidate a good song.
[Play clip of Shapiro saying 'what he just
said is the most immoral thing you could possibly
say']
No, it isn't. This is what I was talking about
with the taking out of context despite showing
the context. It's very obvious listening to
the song that Lennon was talking about people
not trying to gain bonus points from sky daddy.
If we 'lived for today' we would be much better
people. Lennon wasn't literally talking about
today, he was talking about religiosity. Also,
Ben Shapiro says 'this is the entire democratic
party' mimicking what the American right constantly
says [show Trump tweeting about radical left
democrats]
Here's just a lesson for the right: Democrats
are basically moderates. Actually, the democratic
and republican parties are very similar. Neo-liberal
parties with way to much power. I am a leftist,
the reason I call myself a leftist rather
than a liberal is because I am further left
than liberals.
It's kind of amazing the fact that Mr Shape
here has all of the control in the situation
yet still manages to fuck it up. The audio
levels are very badly mixed leading to Shake-It-Off
being much quieter than Imagine. In some moments
he is actually inaudible. John Lennon posthumously
schools Ben Shake Shack.
Now, at one point Ben Shapiro comments on
Lennon singing 'You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one' he says [play clip
of Shapiro saying 'That's the problem he's
not the only one] and to that I say, Ben,
he isn't the only one. And that's great. Maybe
not for capitalism and those who love it but
for humanity.
God, I really want to go for a swim.
