Parmenides of YouTubes's video: Why Division Disalienation of Pan-Africanism Socialism Bourgeois Socialism Part 1

This will be the first where I get into a particular ideology. We start with bourgeois socialism. In this video, I will review how I define socialism by looking at the Communist Manifesto as a source for review. I will then discuss how capital utilizes bourgeois socialism as a tool for self-perpetuation. I move on to review alienation, building on what was discussed in the previous video. Lastly, after briefly foreshadowing a future discussion on integration, I go over my major points. The next video will be reacting to the content and arguments.
