The Marxist Project
What are dialectics and how does the dialectical process work? This episode in the Fundamentals of Marx series begins to cover some of the main points in dialectics. Given how complicated and broad this topic is, there will be more videos in the future that elaborate on the ideas talked about here.

Gramsci, like many of his contemporaries, believed that unification was the direction humanity was headed in -- but the path to getting there would not be straightforward. Moreover, balancing encouragement for integration with protection of minority languages was of the utmost importance to Gramsci (especially since he himself hailed from Sardinia, one of Italy's many distinct regions with its own language).
We also look at the early Soviet experience with language policies and Gramsci's evaluation of the Soviet approach.

Footnote:
The definition of “conjuncture” provided by Wolff and Resnick (1979) is useful to our discussion of the mercantilist era: “A conjuncture is the social formation at a specific time and place. When a conjuncture involves the overwhelming masses of the population in one type of class relation, say feudal, then the entire formation takes the name of the primary relation: a feudal social formation. Other types of class relations present in a feudal social formation are secondary. A transitional conjuncture involves a situation where class struggles within and among class relations have developed to a point where a previously secondary class relation seriously threatens to become primary” (10).

Obviously, the history of Chinese agriculture cannot be captured in a single video. Our purpose here is not to offer a sweeping, affirmative judgement of one system over another. What this video will hopefully shed light on is the notion that collective agriculture was replaced by something significantly more "efficient" or robust.

23:20 - 24:28 Conclusion
Marx considered industrial capital -- capital engaged in the production of commodities -- from the perspective of three different circuits: the money circuit, the productive circuit, and the commodity circuit. In this video, we will look at each of these circuits, how they relate to each other, and their relationship with industrial capital as a whole.
For more on this topic, see Marx's "Capital: Volume 2" (the primary source used for the video).

In this episode we dive into a close reading of several passages from Marx which suggest that his theory of transitions is not linear but rather complex and heterogeneous.
