One day the people of Paris decided to stop work,
build barricades and overthrow the government.
That's what we call a revolution.
I'm Paul Mason and in this episode we'll look at ...
... what Karl Marx learned from two revolutions happening here in Paris.
In 1848 the French monarchy was overthrown.
Within days the revolution broke out in Berlin, Budapest, Vienna, and Milan.
"Who's in charge?," the elites of Europe asked.
Fingers pointed to the author of the Communist Manifesto,
holed up in Brussels, Belgium.
The police immediately put Marx on a train to the French border ...
... minus his luggage.
Marx arrived on 5 March 1848.
He went straight to a mass meeting of the most
radical organisation in Paris: the Society for the Rights of Man,
where he made a speech.
He said, when a ship is caught in a storm, time to throw somebody overboard.
And meant the rich.
The upper middle class, the bourgeoisie, had led the revolution.
They wanted democracy.
But the mass of people in Paris were workers.
They wanted democracy plus social justice.
Marx knew that the overthrow of the monarchy was just the start.
In June 1848, the middle class threw the working class over board.
This, the first ever photo of a social struggle,
shows the barricades workers erected as the bourgeois crackdown began.
Thousands were killed.
This is the exact spot, where that barricade was built.
Marx' lessons from these events still hold good.
Struggling for democracy is not enough.
You also have to end poverty, unemployment and inequality.
That is going to scare the rich.
This, defending democracy but fighting for social justice at the same time,
is the basic problem in all the recent uprisings:
from Occupy Wall Street to the Arab Spring.
Marx said, if you don't attack the elite's economic power,
it will attack you.
After the 1848 revolution failed, a dictator ruled France for 20 years,
the self-styled emperor Louis Napoleon.
Paris became the world's pleasure capital,
the city of light.
Napoleon widened the streets, so nobody could build barricades.
But in 1871, they did build barricades, only bigger.
These remarkable photographs show the working class
as it took control of Paris and launched the Paris Commune.
The Commune wasn't just a political revolution,
it was the social revolution Marx dreamed of.
People drove government out of working class areas,
and Marx knew, the Commune was different:
It abolished the standing army, turned factories
into worker's co-ops and legalized sex-work.
People didn't just take control of the state, they took control of their lives.
When the French army retook Paris, they killed 30,000 civilians.
It's one of the first political massacres of modern times.
I've reported from the Arab Spring, Occupy, the revolts in Greece and Turkey.
None of them went as far as the Paris Commune,
which aimed to replace the state with people power.
Karl Marx never wrote a revolution manual.
If he had, it would have said two things:
First: Democracy is not enough, keep pushing for social justice.
Second: You can't take over the existing state.
You have to bring power closer to the people.

Is the Institute of Agricultural Technology in Your Future? - Duration: 1:51.
(upbeat music)
- Ever since I was a child, I've always dreamed
of studying at Michigan State.
- I started with Ag Tech because I wanted to learn
more in depth of the big topics in agriculture
like soil health, plant disease
and the management portion of it, more in depth.
You can learn that on the farm
but going to school really gives you
another level of education that's really
beneficial in the field.
- I mean, anybody can do book work
but when you have hands on, that's when people
tend to learn the most.
I know I did as well.
- It's huge to have students that have
experience in the ag industry.
Getting a job in the ag industry, experience is key.
- The internships is the best way
to get boots on the ground experience
to find out what employers want,
what the ag industry wants,
what a day to day working life is.
That's the best way in my opinion
how to open doors and further your career path.
- Before I went into my internship
I had a idea of what I wanted to do after college,
had no idea how I was gonna get there.
I knew I wanted to farm, I didn't know how
I was gonna get from nothing to everything
and my internship laid down the roadmap.
- Ag Tech gets you started down that path.
It doesn't end at Ag Tech.
You have to keep going because technology doesn't stop
when you graduate.
- If you're sitting on the fence
it's because you don't love what you're doing
so you obviously need a change,
so if you're already considering this,
then you're already ready to step into it.

Is Your Perspective Making Business Ownership Harder? - Duration: 2:12.
Hi, my name is Taylor Hill.
I'm here with another Power Business Minute.
I'm telling you...owning a business can be hard sometimes.
In fact, there are days...and I've told people this...there are days that if I had it my
own way, I'd go home, go to bed, pull the covers over my head, and just not come out
for a couple of days.
But, you know what?
I don't have that option.
So, I have to stay in the game.
One of the things I've realized that helps me is when there are things that come my way
that I may not particularly like, things that maybe you view as negative or problems or
issues and challenges...all those things.
What I've realized if I just look at those things as just news...it's just news.
Whether it's good news or whether it's bad news or whether it's neutral news, it doesn't
matter.
Just give me the news.
Tell me the facts.
Tell me what's going on.
Tell me what's happened, and then from that news, we can determine what we need to do
from there.
What that does is that helps take the emotion out of it.
Because, let's face it.
Our companies are our babies.
Anytime somebody comes and says your baby's ugly...or your baby stinks we don't like it.
If you take the emotion out of it, and somebody says, "your baby stinks" then all of the sudden
you can look back and say, "hmm...why does my baby stink?
Maybe I need to check a diaper.
Maybe I need to figure out what's going on."
Those are the things you can do when you view these issues as just the news of the day.
The other thing that does is your people are more apt to come to you and actually talk
to you so you can deal with those things that need to be dealt with.
And, when you ask them to share the good news as well, you're going to find out there's
a lot of good things that people love about your baby.
So, take it to heart.
Remember, it's just news.
We'll see you next week with another Power Business Minute.

What is the IOV vision? - Duration: 1:13.
So we came back to the idea of the Internet of Information.
When you look at how the information is being consumed and exchanged, you have two main
things.
First one is the DNS, which is a way for any website creator to actually buy a domain name
and they can advertise this domain name, you know...
The second thing is the protocol so that each new website doesn't reinvent the wheel.
They just put some HTML and the browser can read it.
So we'll do the same for blockchains.
We think that it is very important, if we actually want to have mass adoption, and we
really really want to see that happen this year or next year, so what we'll do is provide
the DNS for blockchains, which is actually a way to have the list of all blockchains
and starting from there, we'll also provide a protocol so when a user wants to access
any data from a blockchain, they know which language to speak.

How Much Is The Human Body Worth? - Duration: 3:31.
Hey there.
Welcome to Life Noggin.
Would you be willing to let some sketchy guy slice you open in his basement to harvest
one of your kidneys?
What if you were promised a nice chunk of money in return?
I really hope your answer is still no, but for some people, this payout is apparently
well worth the risk.
While my animated body is valued at basically nothing, your human bodies are pretty valuable.
Just how much is the human body worth?
Let's add it up.
Black market organ harvesting from dead and living people is an incredibly huge and lucrative
industry.
It's estimated to be worth a whopping one billion dollars.
In this market, kidneys alone are sold to people in need for about $140,000 a pop.
And some organs go for even more.
Take lungs for example.
Estimates value a set of lungs at almost $300,000!
And the almighty heart?
A whopping $595,000.
But the people selling to the black market are only paid a tiny fraction of these selling
prices.
The rest goes to the middle-men and women making the transactions.
And it's not just major organs, all kinds of valuable body parts are in demand on the
black market.
Do you think these 1s and 0s would go for anything, because i have a lot of them!
Underground organ sales and transplantations originally came about for a number of reasons,
but a major one is the fact that the legal organ transplantation system is seriously
lacking.
Recent estimates quote that there are over 100,000 people on transplant waiting lists
in the United States alone and 20 of them die waiting each day.
So, when people are desperate, sometimes they turn to the black market in a last-ditch attempt
to save their lives.
With $1 billion floating around this illegal market and massive organ shortages affecting
so many people, some are starting to question whether you should be allowed to sell your
organs.
Which got me to thinking, does anywhere allow this?
Kind of, yes.
In Iran, people can sell their kidneys through the government, which then gives them to patients
who need them.
This very progressive practice came into play in the 1990s in response to the huge shortage
of donated kidneys.
It's been extremely effective and now Iran is one of the few countries in the world without
a kidney shortage.
But it's more than major organs like kidneys and hearts that are in demand.
On the black market, skull and teeth sets are sold for about $1,200.
Small intestines, $2,500.
Blood, about $3,000.
Bones and ligaments add up to roughly $5,000.
Corneas clock in around $20,000.
And skin is also surprisingly valuable, with the average person's outer layer being worth
about $24,000.
All making you a pretty pricey product.
Now, keep in mind that these estimates are just that, estimates.
There's no official price list for black market organ sales.
But when we take all these price points into account, the human body seems to be worth
over $1,000,000 on the black market!
Does anyone want both my legs, because my animator can just give me new ones!
So how do you feel about all this!?
Would you ever consider donating your organs? or
let us know in the comment section below what we should talk about next?
Curious to know what happens after you die? Check out this video!
The bacteria in your gastrointestinal track will start to break down tissues and cells.
liquefying your body and producing horrific smelling gases like methane and hydrogen sulfide.
as always, my name is Blocko, this has been Life Noggin, don't forget to keep on thinking!

GOOD NEWS 68 YEARS OF KOREAN WAR IS COMING TO AN END, BUT WHY NOW - Duration: 2:28.
GOOD NEWS 68 YEARS OF KOREAN WAR IS COMING TO AN END, BUT WHY NOW
BY RICHARD ENOS
For the first time since the inception of the country called North Korea in 1948, its
leader has set foot on South Korean soil, and for a good cause to boot�to bring about
an official end to the Korean war and to work with his South Korean counterpart to rid the
Korean peninsula of nuclear weapons.
The true nature of what North Korea has been over the seven decades it has existed remains
somewhat of a mystery to me, as it does for most people.
When I lived in South Korea in the late 1990s, I got the general impression from Koreans
that, while some were wary of North Koreans (placards alerting citizens to report suspicious
activity/spying were ubiquitous in the subway system), by and large most Koreans I spoke
to felt that the two Koreas were one people who had been divided due to the conflicting
interests of superpowers China, the Soviet Union, and the United States.
And here is the reason it is very good news.
It tells us that these two states may now be under the influence of more benevolent
forces, or at minimum that previous masters like the Deep State�who used North Korea
time and again for their political and perceptual purposes� may have lost power over the area.
After all, a denuclearized, unified Korean peninsula living in peace is certainly of
no use to the Deep State�s usual strategy of maintaining war and conflict around the
world as much as they can.
Despite the incessant geopolitical conflict that seems to come across our airwaves these
days, there have been a growing number of signs that those who favor peace in our world
are gaining a foothold.
Though it may perhaps be a bit early to celebrate, this news of reconciliation between the two
Koreas, and the hope of an eventual reunification, is certainly promising news.
These times are changing.
This may also have something to do with the shift in consciousness we are experiencing.
