Summary
TLDRThe video script delves into the concept of utopian socialism, contrasting it with scientific socialism.

Takeaways
- 🌐 The script discusses 'tropical socialism' and contrasts it with 'utopian socialism', which focuses on planning and constructing a perfect and egalitarian society without concern for the methodology or class struggle.
- 📚 Utopian socialism is characterized by advocating for a society organized around general ideals based on what is morally correct, expressing its defense when stating how society should be organized for greater equity.
- 🔍 The term 'utopian' is used today to dismiss any suggestions of things that could be radically different, implying that utopian socialism, no matter how defined, is seen as an impossible dream by many.
- 🏛 The origins of early socialist ideas emerged from disappointment with social and political institutions following the French Revolution, where capitalists benefited while the working class faced degradation and impoverishment.
- 👥 Early French socialists like Charles Fourier and the Count of Saint-Simon recognized that the new society was far from the rationality expected at the time.
- 🔑 As capitalism developed with unequal division of labor, proletarianization, and pauperization led to a response from social reformers and small bourgeoisie, leading to the idea of transforming society into a truly democratic and socialist world without class exploitation.
- 📜 In the early 19th century, the intellectual Saint-Simon published 'Letter from Geneva' and Robert Owen initiated the direction of the colony Lanark, marking significant developments in utopian socialism.
- 🤝 Utopian socialism's first characteristic is the existence of cooperation, advocating for understanding and the ability to collaborate together without selfish or individualistic tendencies.
- ❤️ It rejects class struggle, believing that socialism should be established on love and peace, not under struggle and war, convinced that peace is both the end and the means.
- 💯 The third characteristic is the pursuit of an egalitarian society, defending egalitarianism as the basis of justice, advocating for cooperation and rejecting the idea that some should own more than others.
- 🌈 Lastly, utopian socialists are considered idealistic, envisioning a society without malice, hence the label 'utopian', and their visions are seen as idealistic by academic texts.
- 🔄 The main difference between utopian and scientific socialism is that while scientific socialism sees class struggle as fundamental to achieving egalitarian and just states against capitalism, utopian socialism recognizes the harm to the working class without establishing a clear priority for this path.
- 📝 Historically, it wasn't until Marx and Engels' theories that socialism and communism were presented as practical tools for the working class, applicable in society with effects.

hola qué tal cómo les va hoy vamos a
hablar sobre el socialismo trópico y qué
es de este socialismo bueno debemos
saber que el socialismo utópico es el
socialismo que se centra en la
planificación y construcción de una
sociedad perfecta e igualitaria pero sin
preocuparse por la metodología la lucha
de clases y el status quo es decir la
situación del momento en general también
mencionar que se refiere a la tendencia
socialista que aboga por una sociedad
organizada de acuerdo a unos ideales
generales fundamentando este desarrollo
en base a lo que es moralmente correcto
según este socialismo utópico y por
último mencionar que los socialistas
utópicos expresan su defensa al
socialismo cuando afirman que así es
como se debería organizar la sociedad
para lograr mayor equidad pero sigamos
porque hay mucho más por saber sobre
este socialismo utópico
debes decir lo siguiente debemos decir
que para apreciar esta preferencia
resulta importante explorar su formación
y la contraparte marxista a la
contraparte que nos referimos es el
análisis científico del capitalismo
hecho por marx y hegel y por último
decir que hoy en día utópico es una
etiqueta que se invoca para descartar
cualquier sugerencia sobre las cosas que
podrían ser radicalmente diferentes
indicando que el socialismo
particularmente el utópico por más
definido que esté simplemente es un
sueño imposible para muchos continuemos
hablando un poco más sobre este
socialismo utópico particularmente
hablar sobre su origen
respecto a su origen debemos decir que
estas primeras ideas socialistas
surgieron por la decepción con las
instituciones sociales y políticas
creadas como resultado del triunfo de la
razón de la revolución francesa
también mencionar que sin embargo los
que se beneficiaron fueron
principalmente los capitalistas
emergentes ya que la clase trabajadora
en las ciudades en expansión se
enfrentaban a la degradación y al
empobrecimiento y por último mencionar
que los primeros socialistas franceses
como charles fu y el conde de saint
simon se reconocían que la nueva
sociedad estaba lejos de tener la
racionalidad que se esperaba en ese
momento según estos autores pero sigamos
hablando un poco más sobre su origen
porque hay mucho más por descubrir
[Música]
porque debemos decir que a medida que
surgía el capitalismo con el desarrollo
de una división del trabajo muy desigual
la proletarización y la pauperización de
la población llevó a una respuesta de
los reformadores sociales burgueses y
también los pequeños burgueses como
respuesta esta realidad llevó a la idea
de los primeros intelectuales
socialistas que la sociedad humana podía
y debía transformarse en un mundo
verdaderamente democrático y un mundo
socialista donde no habría explotación
de una clase por otra y de esta forma
serían satisfechas las necesidades de
todas las personas según los
intelectuales socialistas y por último
decidí mencionar que durante la primera
década del siglo 19 el intelectual sainz
simmons publicó la carta de ginebra y
también mencionar que apareció el primer
trabajo de furia y de robert owen que
emprendió la dirección de la colonia
y lanark sigamos hablando sobre este
socialismo utópico particularmente
hablar sobre sus características bueno
la primera característica es la
existencia de la cooperación es decir
que abogan por el entendimiento y la
capacidad de colaborar juntos sin
necesidad de tintes egoístas o
individualistas esta cooperación debe
estar no solamente en el plano del
trabajo la segunda característica es que
rehúyen de la lucha ellos piensan que el
socialismo debe establecerse bajo el
amor y la paz no bajo la lucha y la
guerra ellos se encuentran convencidos
de que la paz es el fin pero también el
camino la tercera característica es que
piensan en una sociedad igualitaria es
decir que ellos defienden el
igualitarismo como base de la justicia
dado que defienden que debemos cooperar
y no conciben la idea bajo la cual unos
deben poseer más que otros y la última
característica a mencionar es que se los
considera idealista
y ellos creen en una sociedad sin maldad
los textos académicos coinciden en que
sus visiones son idealistas de ahí que
sean etiquetados con el adjetivo de
utópicos continuemos hablando un poco
más sobre este socialismo utópico
particularmente las diferencias que
tienen con el socialismo científico la
primera diferencia mencionar es que
mientras que el socialismo científico o
formal concibe la lucha de clases como
elementos base para conseguir estados
igualitarios y justos frente al
capitalismo el socialismo utópico
reconoce la existencia del perjuicio a
la clase obrera sin llegar a establecer
dicho camino con una clara prioridad un
dato histórico que debemos mencionar y
también aportar es que no fue hasta las
teorías de marx y engels que el
socialismo y el comunismo fueron
planteados como herramientas prácticas
de lucha obrera y aplicables en la
sociedad con efectos
y por último decir que de hecho marx
criticaba a los socialistas utópicos e
incide en que el pueblo necesita
realidad y no se puede conseguir el
objetivo sin lucha y revolución afirmaba
este señor de acuerdo su mirada bueno
esto es todo por hoy como siempre les
decimos sí que en los vídeos de nuestro
canal que seguramente les serán de
muchísima utilidad hasta la próxima
