  • "Is my Sony flatscreen TV still going to be awesome of it's built in mexico?"

    Come on pinky, you little pussy, you can do better then that.

  • Cat gone out of control.

  • is this video supposed to be sarcastic? Fuckin' duh.

    Actually, globalization is FAR WORSE than portrayed here, as the "1st Worlder" is out of work, because his and her jobs have been imported and exported to"3rd Worlders". Thus, we now have 2 in 5 (or more, in the U.S.) that are unemployed/underemployed. America is turning into a 3rd World Country, and Americans have been so dumbed down that they think their politicians actually give a flying fuck what happens to Americans.

  • is this video supposed to be sarcastic? ...If it is not, this cats are pretty unaware (to be polite). My cat aint in to globalization.

  • This is nonsense what right have we got to interfere in other nations. What makes you think that every single person wants to live the Western life style? Going to jobs you hate that don't inspire you? Maybe people want to live in forests and hunt deer? Most of the problems in the Third World come from the First World meddling eg exploiting resources, abuse of cheap labour, supplying dictators with weapons, medicines which mess up population growth.

  • I think someone forgot the definition of sovereignty or even why the U.S. forefathers divided the union into separate states. There was a good reason, believe me.

  • NO LOGO! Read it and weep pro globalizers!

  • NWO propaganda garbage

  • Love the way that people use the internet (the greatest gift to globalisation) to mock globalisation. I make no political comments, just a general observation of irony

  • I CAN SEE THE WATER!

  • Alot of people are going to hate me for this comment but I'm going to say it anyway, Our entire world revolves around globalisation and its not just in tv's radio's and other products its also in religion, the language that we speak the clothes that we wear even when we tell every one how bad globalisation is we are essentially globalising that message so before you completely associate globalisation completely evil, remember that every decision you make is effectively globalisation in action

  • besides, if the us becomes protectionist -never happening, no other nation will follow suite, thus fucking us deeper into disaster...we shall march into globalization understanding what's happening while minimizing consequences...or 2012 is real and in which case, all this is irrelevant...peace

  • great job pinky

  • good works are done in the daylight while evil works are done in the shadows

    Pinky and pinko are communist code names

  • Globalization mean the whole global will be third world.

    Only educated people support Globalization. You little zealots are poor because you are lazy. Don't worry Big Brother and the TSA will get it under control. Actually the global Elite are the smugly self-assured First Worlders. Some fish can see water and we see through your B.S.

  • @BillyBatsonMarvel "only educated people support Globalization" Not true only people that have an understanding of economics support globalization.

  • @benkurz1 I was quoting this fascist video.

  • @BillyBatsonMarvel my bad. use quotes

  • @benkurz1 I didn't quote the video where quotes were necessary, you had to read between the lines.

  • Globalization is shit,Just another way for the governments to make more for themselves.

  • some good information! but i find the voice very irratating and distracting - hard to learn i had to watch the video again. :(

  • Globalist Scum!

  • Globalization means slave wage labour in the third world for multi national corporations while organized labour busting in the first world.....leading to third world work conditions in the former first world.

    End Globalization----Unionize!!!!

  • @darkganesh

    No, because then people begin to shout that you are an evil supporter or agent for the NWO. There are so many who cannot differentiate between a world united in the interest of all, and a world "united" in the interest of the few.

    Unions will in the end have to serve the common good, because everything is evolving towards a global society, with a democratized/socialized economy and law. Socialism is a naughty word in america I know, but I really don't care...

  • Might as well make a Defending Marxism video you radical leftist fucks

  • It's funny how those who masturbate to globalization ignore how the policies of the IMF and other organizations actually create poverty by sending poorer nations into a race to the bottom as far as labor rights, wages, and public services to pay debt.

  • @IPlayWithFire135

    I think it's funny you wrote that comment from a computer manufactured under those exact principles.

  • I do love they question how "value" is created. in some ways this video is a flawed as the thing they are "investigating"though Any point which could question the inference that museums are" bad" and that "regular peoples" opinions are marginalized is omitted. For instance the notion that people who study art in schools are somehow brainwashed to... See More think a certain way or adopt certain values and they they have no control their interpretation of what they are learning

  • i mean i. e. instead of i.d. oops.

  • PLEASE, STOP ACCUSING "GLOBALISZATION", FOOLS!!! The problem is not globalization, but THE WAY in which it happens; that is, the FUNDAMENTALIST GLOBAL CAPITALISM; neither is capitalism itself "evil", its again, the WAY in which it takes place.

    If you confuse these terms, you FALL INTO THE TRAP, that is laid down by the rightwinger fundamentalists, mafiosos and fascists. GLOBALIZATION is NEUTRAL in itself, i.d. it can become good/evil. Now, its mostly evil.

  • @tmapere True. It is the way in which globalization is set up that we have to work on.

  • Yep, Globalisation is about maximising profits for a few. Power is concentrated in the hands of a few. It's down to behaviours. Those at the top wont change unless those at the bottom become powerful. Globalisation is about the disempowerment of many to benefit a few. It's Feudal Pathocracy. Worship of Rand and Zionism is the worship of Baal-Peor!!! Eat from their cleft!!!!

  • @Isochest globalization is about trading with other countries based on comparative advantage to get the best deal. A makes better wine than B, and B makes better cheese than A. Therefore they will trade. It's the same case even if A makes better wine and cheese than B, A will always focus on what they do best, which would be wine. So no, its not taking from the many and giving it to the few, otherwise you would not have a computer right now.

  • @mana2432 What propaganda book have you swallowed? Yes, it is said that in all business there is an element of deception. Global trading depends upon cheap transportation cheap energy and cheap labour. For an élite group who can monopolise on what sells, this opens up the possibilities of humungous profits. No one else has a look in. Governments can be bought or bullied: Fear and cash can be used. There are always Sociopaths amonst us all.

  • @mana2432 Then the EU steps in and says your cheese isn't manufactured in sterile conditions and you can't call your wine that name. They stick a tax on the transportation costs, then excise duty and then lets have a bit of VAT on there as well. They have sweet jobs in brussels with unbelievable pensions and god damn the cheese is twice as much as it should be to pay for the bureauracy.

  • @fatuglypug well that is what happens when you get a monopoly on bureaucracy interfering with free trade... they unintentionally make domestic consumers and foreign companies that have an advantage over their domestic companies worse off, and the domestic companies that they are protecting benefit at the expense of everyone else.

  • @mana2432 No sir, that's not my point. Globalization is more Government, more red tape, every layer is detrimental to the consumer as more taxes must be paid to oversee the system and taxes are spent inefficiently. It stifles innovation and restricts freedoms. It effects domestic companies too. It encourages monopolies too, look at the drugs industry, cures are found to illnesses and because of patents the price of the drugs is kept artificially high.

  • @fatuglypug I'm saying that globalization doesn't have to include more bureaucracy, because that (bureaucracy) is after all what ironically halts it and keeps people from reaping the highest benefits within free trade. Sure, you have a market economy to an extent or only a degree within globalization, but it is being hindered by politicians and bankers who still subscribe to the mercantilist ideology. The quicker we can do away with this thought, the better off we will be.

  • @mana2432 In Europe for instance, the new East European member states receive big handouts, so they can issue grants for building new factories. New factories encourage companies to relocate because of cheaper labour. Where from? Germany, UK, the countries where the grants actually came from? Is that fair? Not really seeing as Government money does not exist, it is simply money taken from the citizens through taxation, who then lose their jobs. So why does it happen? Increased profit margins.

  • @fatuglypug So you've got the so called elite of society deciding what's best for everybody else, wrapping it up in a bundle of red tape. It's gainst free market capitalism, there's no need for elite the market knows best unless monopolies exist and red tape is a hinderance to trade. I dunno my view on Globalism is that suddenly everywhere starts looking the same, the owners of these businesses make bigger profits. The real role of Government should be to control the size of these corporations

  • @fatuglypug The marriage of corporations and bureaucracy, which is corporatism, or mercantilism rehashed thanks to Keynes. I'm not going to get into morality why taxation is wrong, but it is just the broken window fallacy all over again. The bureaucrats think that they can spend the citizen's money better than the citizen could. So you see the factories built and what not, but you'll never see the jobs that could have been created or services had those citizens kept their money.

  • Could the narration be any more boring?

  • @kisu1492 u could be more idiot!!!

  • I hope every globalist is reincarnated as a 3rd worlder idiot fagots.

  • @jaycedace you are aware that there are many globalists living in 3rd world countries, or were even raised there... fucking idiot.

  • @mana2432 you missed the point idiot faggot

  • @jaycedace nope, not at all, bitch ass nigga.

  • I just love how a cute comic makes all of us talk seriously :D

  • barf

  • "no incentive for [First Worlders] to seriously want to examine any of this [privilege stuff]" - Then how can we even be talking about it? If the dominant culture/system/process is truly dominant, how does it ever change unless it wants to change? The error is seeing any group as a seemless whole. A collection of individuals may produce a certain direction of action for a while which appears to be systematic but it can change at any time due to "internal" variables.

  • i would like the pinkyshow if it didn't use the gay nasal cat voice

  • real crap this video

  • i think pinky is a girl

  • Pinky is idealogically biased and obfuscates his arguments behind a cloud of pathological self-denial.

  • Globalisation is a Parody of the Middle Ages.

  • Notice how Pinky did not mention the tremendous income inequality resulting from globalization. 1/2 China and 80% of India live on less than 5$ a day. He also forgot to mention that China is now faced with mass evictions, an incalculable dustbowl in the north, empty mega cities, mass migrations of an unprecedented scale, disappearing markets, thousands of annual agrarian revolts, economic trouble and industrial uprisings. (ALL FACTS)

  • notice how "defending globalization" was used sarcastically

  • China is a communist autocracy. You don't think that has anything to do with it being poor? And India has been poor for centuries now.

  • Yeah like the poor Tibitans living in their mud shacks they don't even have running water or eletricity until China took over.

  • Tibet was a Buddhist theocracy before China invaded. It went from one bad form of government to another. My point still stands; the PRC only experienced large amounts of economic growth after the 1978 capitalistic reforms.

  • Wrong. China experienced one of the most rapid developments in modern history under Mao's great leap forward. The only faster one was the Soviet Union's industrialization before WW2 which turned a nation of peasants into a global industrial power. Mao built modern China. It's a myth that China was piss poor until Deng. It has gotten richer, but a lot of figures such as literacy and life expectancy have gone down for the poor in China since the restoration of capitalism.

  • In the twenty years between 1955 and 1975 China's economy expanded by a factor of 3. In the twenty years between 1985 and 2005 China's economy expanded by a factor of twenty. China is substantially richer than it was before the Capitalistic reforms and economy is growing faster than ever. The current economic growth dwarfs the "rapid developments" of the "Great" Leap "Forward".

  • Before the great leap forward, China was almost entirely a peasant economy. Mao changed this and gave it a strong industrial base. Everything the reforms did was build on that. It's no surprise it was much more. The key factor in China's growth is not the capitalist system itself, but foreign capital, which of course wasn't there in Mao's time.

  • The "Great" Leap "Forward" caused a famine and an economic disaster. Even the Chinese Communist Party and Mao Zedong were aware that it was a mistake.

  • No. Mao was aware that there was error and mismanagement and took the blame for some of it, but the GLF accomplished its goals and successfully modernized China. There had been famines every so many years. Mao eventually streamlined agriculture, ended food shortage, controlled flooding, and built heavy industry. There hasn't been a famine in China since. I have sources concerning Mao''s role in the famine if you'd like.

  • But none of the other famines occurred on the same scale. Modern Agriculture meant that the other Chinese famines of the 20th century had death tolls under one million.

    The fact that they haven't caused another famine isn't much of an achievement; no first world countries have suffered a famine since World War II at least.

  • @Jenawahrheit notice how you leave out how much that 1/2 of china and 80% of india were making before globalization?

    notice also, how you left out how far that $5 a day goes in those countries as compared to in the us?

    how about the status of all the conditions you mention before globalization hit?

    i certainly did, but ya know, only because of the huge impact on the conclusions that follow your implied ideology.

  • Another point is some of these third world coountries don't want to change. They like there culture. Now if we would help them where they are at (which we are slowly doing) , then that is acceptable. America will crash anyway so we won't have the money to be part of this so it is a mute point. We need to be looking together how we will survive together in a depression.

  • World has 6.7 Billion people. About 3 Billion live on less than $2 (American) per day. As Globalization evens the playing field a little bit it will help raise the standard of living for Billions of people. North America and Europe have been living like kings for decades. Us "1st worlders" had better get used to the idea that we are going to drop down a notch or two for the greater good. Answers? I don't have any good answers...

  • I like to look at it like this, if we had one world government, where would you run?

  • Capitalism is what has created wealth in the major countries that now give of that wealth to help others. America, for instance, has given more out of their earnings to help others in many countries than any other country. Generosity comes from free people giving out of what they have earned to help others. Taking from one group to give to another group that refuses to work has never been a good practice to help the other learn how to help themselves.

  • Think about how USA made that money.

  • I don't know about you but every day I get up and go to work and have for many many years to earn money to take care of my own family and to send to help others. I give a large part of what I make to help others in many countries. If not for what I did for a living over 1000 people daily would have not received very important communication. Give a person a fish you feed them for a day , teach them to fish you feed them for a life time.

  • At one time Japan was once considered a 3d world nation yet 50 years of globalization later and it's one of the richest countries.

  • The Soviet Union was considered a 1st/2nd world country. But after the reforms of the last 20 years it's 3rd world again.

    At one time, India was considered a 3rd world nation, and after years of globalization, it still is.

  • In the last 20 years wealth in India has doubled. and It takes about 40 years for people in the 3rd world to become educated.

    Look a South Korea, Japan, brazil, and China The standard of life there is higher than ever.

  • Yet the country is still considered a 3rd world country, and the standards of living of the poorest are still crap.

  • It takes time for free trade to create wealth in a country. Yet the standared of life has gone up. No longer are there famines in india and china.

  • 2nd world countries were never very rich to begin with.

  • the USSR was richer than what it is now / what it used to be before the USSR.

  • Actually the former Soviet states are now richer than they were in 1991; although growth would be faster if the government wasn't run by business oligarchs.

  • It is true that current Russia is richer than the SU in 1991, however it is not richer than the SU of a longer time ago.

    Also the standards of living plummeted.

  • Yet the economies of the former Soviet states are growing faster than ever before. If Russia's government wasn't a corporatist oligarchy economic expansion would be even faster.

  • Economic growth is not a good indication of high standards of living. The industrial revolution had high economic growth, but we all know that the standards of living were worse than in the old guantanamo bay.

    In the end it all comes down to what you find important. If you want high economic growth with bad standards of living, free market capitalism is the way to go.

  • It's not a first worlders vs. third worlders conflict of interests, as the video suggests, it's a very wealthy investors vs. the general population conflict.

  • THIS MAN (Dalambam) SPEAKS SENSE

  • exactly

  • I do not agree completely....

    As I see it, the result of the modern (and ancient) system of capitalism has only lead to increased difference between those who are poor and those who are rich, in addition to the fact that there are many times more poor people than there are rich.

    But this does not only happen at a local level, this happens in societies, countries and even the whole world. So while there may be poor people in a rich countries, the majority there still remain richer.

  • @Dalambam You're right, the lives of Westerners are also colonized and exploited by capitalism. Just think about music companies exploiting the feelings and sexual urges of young girls by brining hot boybands to the market so all the girl buy their cd's, go to concerts etc.

    Or at schools, it's now inevitable to use video cameras, calculators, printers etc. First of all, it makes people dumb because artificial intelligence makes human intelligence unnecessary.

  • @Dalambam Second, the system is an inefficient behemoth. 9 out of 10 times, the technology causes problems. People have to run around like dogs, waste their time, money, emotions, i.e. personal liberty, constantly asking for permission and help. Even simple assignments like writing a report about a school trip become an issue of thousands of people indirectly. All because the corporations push their products to schools. People are not allowed to do things themselves, stupid Soviet shit!

  • @Dalambam

    Agreed.

    A step-by-step consolidation of power and wealth through extraction - those who're useful in this process are placated, coerced, and enforced upon until they're no longer useful, at which point they're marginalized, imprisoned, or killed.

  • Financial liberalization, massive, unhindred capital flows etc has led in the West to the stagnation or *sharp decrease* of the average wage adjusted to inflation these last decades, while the privatizing everything out the window and slashing down social aid etc that 3rd W. countries are forced to do to be competitive for foreign investors has driven millions of people into misery. In the meanwhile, profits for both Western and 3rd W. business elites have zooooomed astronomically.

  • I think the problem with this video is that it treats "first world nations" and "third world nations" as homogeneous wholes, with the people of 1st W. countries all benefitting from globalization and the people of 3rd W. countries all suffering from it. It's not like that. The 3rd W. upper classes have, like the Western upper classes immensely benefitted from it. Who suffers from it are the general population of *both* 3rd W. countries *and* 1st W. countries.

  • @Dalambam sometimes thats the case but not always. take for example an AMERICAN corporation (such as nike) that gets there work from a place like indonesia. Nike is the one benefitting from there work. The 3rd worlders masters are often from a first world country. Workers of the world unite!

  • DICKS EVERYWERE!

  • Gifteconomy, wikipedia is a great example of people working for free to give away very useful knowledge.

    But why are these people doing this? Are they totally mad, not wanting any money for the work they do????

    Yes it seems quite illogical in a world of egoism, but not for a world of passion and unison.

  • look up "venus project"

    its an entire system for society to live by and it just that

  • fuck u ....

  • Everything in the nature is motion - human being can not stand immobile, without motion, without action, without interetss... and just eat the fruits of others!

  • They do it all the time. It's called welfare.

  • Friendly, wise people who work for WIKIPEDIA out of passion and GIVE US their "work fruits" are the people who show the way to the future! That's the way! GIVING IS IN in GIFT ECONOMY! Creating of abundance for all 7 billion people!

  • And if a gift economy is viable then why hasn't it already occurred? If people are so charitable then why do they need to demand a salary?

  • Are people who work for free in wikipedia project anarchists? Working for FREE and claiming FREE WATER, FREE FOOD, FREE LAND ... IS GIFT ECONOMY!!! It brings THE ABUNDANCE for all!

  • Wikipedia and other open source projects utilize anarchist, communitarian principles. If you apply those principles to society, that is anarcho-communism.

    As far as bringing abundance to all, sure, in the short term. But keep in mind that the profit motive combined with the individuals ability to withhold product is the reason there even is an abundance to begin with. Now, I am open to your ideas, but I hope you have a viable alternative to a market that still gives incentive to produce excess.

  • But why work when its all free?

  • WORKING out of pleasure, out of passion for knowledge or out of friendship... is very motivating!

  • For you maybe. But what about for the people who only work to live? Why work when you can simply live off the fruits of others?

  • Only GIFT ECONOMY can save us - FREE WATER, FREE FOOD, FREE LAND, FREE GOLD, FREE EDUCATION... are our real BIRTHRIGHTS. Working out of passion for FREE is motivating (look wikipedia). Start GIVING, SHARING! The ABUNDANCE is for all 7 billion people immediate! no manipulations (religious, political, economic, medical...) are needed any more!

  • Oh boy! I can't wait to take without compensating.

  • I am a girl - THE GIFT ECONOMY is FEMININ GIVING PRINCIPLE! It's a mother 's ethics philosophy! The women could start spreading these principles - it's in the women's nature to GIVE - GIVE LIFE, GIFE CARE TO THE CHILD, GIVE WATER AND FOOD... FOR FREE...The men could help and suport a little bit - so we would work for us and not for the top of the hierarchic pyramide (30 wealthy families)!

  • So you're like an anarcho-feminist or something?

  • "Revolutionaries might consider favoring measures that tend to bind the world economy into a unified whole. Free trade agreements like NAFTA and GATT(WTO) ... but in the long run they may perhaps be advantageous because they foster economic interdependence between nations. It will be easier to destroy the industrial system on a worldwide basis if the world economy is so unified that its breakdown in any one major nation will lead to its breakdown in all industrialized nations"

  • The verdict of history is in. There is no system that provides more freedom and better standards of living than representative democracies with free markets (capitalism).

    The reason the 3rd world struggles with capitalism is not because captialism is bad. It's because they have no democracy, no Rule of Law, and are riddled with corruption. For free markets to work, you MUST first have Rule of Law.

  • This sucks. Im trying to write a paper about this subject and for the life of me I can't figure it out. Those against Globalization ( I've also heard it called Neo-Liberalism) point at corruption, poverty, and general inequality. Those in favor of Globalization all just point and say,"Look at these numbers! We've rescued a milltion zillion people from poverty!" But i just I cant see how sending jobs to countries without labor rights could be good for the people.

  • Well Globalisation can occur under any ideology. Currently it is happening under the banner of neo-liberalism(not synonymous with globalisation). Neo-Liberalism justifies pure free market behavoir and lack of oversight of huge multi-national corporations who at times have proven that they are even more powerful and influential than nation. But that's how the 3rd world gets treated. Except for Horse economies they do well. Horse Economies refer to middle income nations that are almost developed.

  • The point is that it gives them a choice-having jobs for an excess labor force is far more important than having "labor rights" for the impoverished unemployed in developing countries. The most important right for them is having a job so they can feed themselves and their families. That is their right to choose, if they do not wish to take a job they do not have to. As more jobs are created, labor will become more scarce and wages and conditions will rise. Don't deprive them of that opportunity.

  • @godimdull watch Globalization is Good by Johan Norberg

  • Well, capitalism is the root of this problem. It will always have people like migkillertwo to defend it with lies and irrelivent name dropping. The facts are that this globalization (spreading of capitalism) has utterly raped the african, asian, and south american countries they tried to spread it to. Just look at what happened to them before you decide to build ivory castles of theory in your head. (ivory castles tend to ignore relevent facts that make the towers fall)

  • South America's problem isn't because of capitalism.

    Asia seems to be benefiting from it. Countries like Thailand, Myanmar don't because of political reasons and social issues. Brunei does, Singapore does, Malaysia does. Japan does. S.korea does, and even China does. Central asia is another story though they are still struggling.

  • south americas problem IS capitalism, thats why we went in and destroyed any chance of them impoving and becoming independent

  • To the creators of this dumb piece of shit anti-freedom video: Have you ever heard about Johan Norberg? Have you ever examined the empirical evidence which OVERWHELMINGLY indicates that globalized third-world economies perform vastly superior to third-world economies which practice protectionist trade policies?

  • ...technology transfer, trade surplus, greater availability of goods and service... The IMF should cancel third world debt and allow developing countries to subsidize certain of their industries. However, globalization benefits everyone, although rich countries benefit the most.

  • nah, with globlization, workers in rich country will become poorer (because outsourcing jobs drive down wage), and third world workers will become richer; until an equilibrium is riched.

  • capital-intensive economies will always make more profits. most developing countries will take an eternity to catch up.

  • Boeing' revenue was 60 billion last year, less than half of general motors.

  • ask african countries to make decent cars within the next 100 years.

  • this is stupid.....third-worlders will get to be first worlders by GLOBALIZATION which will lift their economy ....rising tides lifts all boats...STUPID

  • The First and Third World division is itself a product of globalization. It is no coincidence that nations with the most resources are those who have become the Third World. It is also not a coincidence that they are all former colonies. Globalization now refers to the efforts of the first world to "repair" Third World economies through the privatization of their resources. if the First World has the ability to extract the raw materials and profit, will they ever voluntarily give up that power?

  • jakebison2-no

  • Comment removed

  • How uneducated a person can be??. ''third-worlders will get to be first worlders by GLOBALIZATION which will lift their economy'', globalization economy is based on the enslavement of third world people, there's only 1 world with limited resourses, what you have in excess is taken away from somebody else. A 100% is all there is... try watching the movie ''The producers'' for a funny explanation on the 100% thing, just in case you cannot deal with numbers and basic arithmetic...

  • Congratulations! you are in the top 10 DUMBEST people i've ever encountered on YouTube! There's no doubt that you are a brain-dead DUMB, LIBERAL IDIOT.....Great, you education consists of watching the PRODUCERS! LMFAO, ROLF... right, it's better for third-worlders or anyone else to be unemployed..enslavement....don­'t be dramatic you jackass....they are working and getting paid....it's better than not working....STUPID ... ROLF

  • Comment removed

  • wow are you DUMB..you must be a liberal LMFAO

  • En palabras del celebre catego: ''Le cabe el haber ganado por su recto proceder'', a ver si con un diccionario en español podès traducir esto, ¡Hijo del acrònimo!, ignorante, palabras contraidas para cerebros contraidos..., por personas como usted es que el mundo no avanza hacia la SOLIDARIDAD!!!!!!!!!!

  • carroyoq, dont give me any of your bullshit about zero-sum gains. If your bullshit were true, then the poverty rate should be stagnant. GUESS WHAT! Thanks to globalization and free-trade, the poverty rate around the world has plummeted. Its all thanks to the fact that globalization shifts resources to the most productive sectors of the world's economy. fuck you, fuck your statism, and FUCK your protectionism.

  • You can't even write properly in your own language.

  • I'm sorry my points flew right over your head. Come back when you've read a book or two on macroeconomics.

  • You see... now you are writing in English, that's a great improvement, now try to travel a little bit and stop reading books on macroeconomics, real life is better, and full of good things

  • sorry, I prefer to read about actual studies of the empirical evidence rather than looking at the situation through a soda-straw, as activists like Naomi Klein do.

  • is this, and the other two comics, available in pdf form anywhere?

  • Get an education on division of labour and absolute advantage economics and then make videos that actually have substance.

  • dude...for the last time!

    you cant impress chicks with the jargons you hear in your economics class!

  • Awesome, but it needs more boobies:)

  • I agree.

  • Everything needs more boobies.

  • Slave planet; that's what's coming.

  • If you love being slaves continue to push for your one world eutopia. Everything will be ok only if your an obedient slave.....

  • What song is being played on the piano in the background?

  • satie's gymnopedie no. 1

  • After all you self-righteous do-gooders get what you want, the entire planet will be the third world.

  • im sorry, but globalization and its offsprings of free trade helped America out of the economic disasters of the 1970s. It was globalization that help create wealth for nations around the world.

  • Do you think that people in American-termed "third world countries" consider (what's left of) their culture replaceable by money? Comfort vs. self-sufficience. Material possessions vs. wide open spaces.

  • First I must say this is a great video. But the message is just so mistaken. I really admire your good intentions, but if you are fighting for the poor and downtrodden you are on the wrong side!

    I am from a poor country in rapid expansion. Withing my student community we are fighting for more rights and democracy. But most of all - we are fighting for liberalization and free markets! Our way out of poverty is through production and most of all trade with wealthier countries.

  • What country are you from? I will show you specifically how globalization has a negative affect on it.

  • Your profile says you are from Norway, I'm pretty sure that's the second richest country on Earth in per capita. Unless you mean you immigrated to Norway from an LEDC.

  • dude, shutup, you're from norway, a very wealthy country. nice try.

  • this made me think of the world in a new way, sort of like we're in this box called America and our purpose is to consume the goods made from the natural resources extracted from poorer nations, leaving them devastated while we become docile, ignorant fatties... and proud of it.

  • The way this attacks globalization is ironic as hell.

    It's upper middle class ignorant spoiled western "counter culture" kids throwing malotov cocktails at WTO meetings, not third worlders. It's the third worlders being ignored who are profiting the most from globalization.

    We never went over there with guns. They're trading with us voluntarily. Because their standard of living is skyrocketing. Ignorant socialists in the West have no right to intimidate us out of trading.

    Capitalism!

  • Irony is a good word.

    Consider that in the 1950-70's it was the left talking about how we must help the poor of the third world. And now, although the right hates talking about the poor, their free trade is benefiting the developing world the most. The left is now more concerned about the working class of the rich world. Interesting shift that occurred there.

  • Cool!

    Like privatized water in Bolivia (owned by a San Fransico company) that pushed more people into poverty. Riots spread throughout the country until they had to socialize it,the police shot and beat thousands of rioters (killing a few) with weapons and teargas the first world had sold them!

    The privitization was part of the IMF's plan.

    And what of Coca Cola hiring Columbian police to kill union workers?

  • "Fish can't see water"... good one. Riffed from Aristotle:

    "No man can judge a society, a part of which he forms."

  • Well done pinkyshow

  • This is probably the most ironically tragic way you could teach about globalization.

    Pinky, you are going to make me cry.

  • if fish can't see water,then just ask your self what is holding you?do you think that it is you own power or is it the power given to you by the one who is really in charge.

  • stfu plz. its my own power. maybe you're so weak you need someone to hold your lazy ass up while walking lol
