Howard Zinn on Civil Disobedience

[bjarczyk]

This is pacifism! Not the mindless cop-loving, prison-industrial-complex loving, authoritarian, counter-revolutionary snitches that flood the left in the US.

Smash the state.

[Gunnabee]

it is completely unresponsible to support a world system that will toruture, murder, brain wash, economically deprive, our grandchildren and their children. our sense of future needs to expand beyond our own generation.

[NoDestinyLive4Now]

Today is D17, the 3 month anniversary of the Occupy movement. Please think of me and my friends as I face arrest today for participating in civil disobedience.

[dramey03]

peaceful protest historically only works when those being protested are scared of violence

i think someone needs to show them what the potential is when they attack us

but nothing will happen, people will just sit in a circle and get pepper sprayed while their 84 year old grandmothers priests and pregnant are abused

fuckin hippies, everyone is scared to stand up, god i wish this nation still had balls

i wish it will still land of the free HOME OF THE BRAVE!

[xPEACHxEATERx]

He forgot to mention getting smacked around the head while you sit there and do fuck all but whine. How's that workin' for ya? Have things improved since all this shit was taken onboard? Can you say 'Police State' U.S.A.?And any fuckhead who blurts Ghandi should educate themselves... it's gotta suck being a meme-on-legs that's wrong. :)

[1dtbimp]

We need to change our system in order to prevent our economy from collapsing. I came here today in search of anyone who will hear my message. The FED have complete control over our money and they have no government agency to regulate them, which means they could do whatever they won't. Please support me to take down the FED, visit my channel, there's a petition that needs your name on it!

[rafi6700]

i practice civil obedience to my soul

[rayovacking]

Dont stand on a silent platform, fight the war, fuck the norm

[biwon]

Oh so we shouldnt have laws?Just pure chaos in the streets.rapeing,killing just pure mayhem.That sounds well thought out.How about all you crazy people go have your own world and you can do anything you want.Was it all the drugs you guys were taking back then?Ive done my fair share of partying but wow to have that crackminded mentality is scary.Thats manson creepy shit right there.

[Coolguyrob2006]

@biwon We shouldn't have laws that are unfair and encroach on the individual liberties of each person. To be honest I don't think you really understand what this video is in relation too.

[musikinLA]

@biwon get a degree from college in critical thinking. then begin to read loads more than they gave you before, and then only then will all of this make sense.

For lack of a better analogy, we are the dogs to which our owners show no respect, degrade, demoralize, and let us fight each other. Not only do they not feed, but has kept us subservient. So fuck you when you get your face bitten off, because you had it coming all along.

[EarthAwakener]

I love Howard Zinn. He's sorely missed.

[MetaCraken]

OOh I saw Noam Chomsky 3:50!

[MonsieurEm]

@MetaCraken I saw him at 0:40

[justinmeason]

what was Dr. Zinn's ideology on historian's and civil disobedience?

[ColumbiaCowboy]

@ChannelAmsterdam vomitous lies. Socialism is NOT "slavery" nor does the better world Zinn worked for have ANYTHING to do with his being Jewish...in fact he harshly opposed Isreal's genocidal apartheid government. You might try learning what he actually believed instead of just repeating the cementheaded lies of McCarthism that were discredited decades ago.

[Msoolala]

Don't agree that it includes sabotage -unless it was to weapons. Not paying taxes should stop the production much more effectively. Read Ghandi

[semoserjr]

rip

[aicram62]

Power to the People!!! The Black, The Jew, The Natives, The Latin Americans, The Women, The Liberals, The Progressives!!

May we FINALLY SQUASH OUT BIGOTRY, REFRAME the true meaning of PATRIOTISM, and take control of America to make her the crown jewel she has such potential to be.

[dionysian83]

@aicram62 o yes everyone except white men.... becuase they must not be poeple too?

[aicram62]

@dionysian83

Whites already have power. Read: Witnessing Whiteness: The Need to Talk About Race and How to Do It by Shelly Tochluk and The Cost of Privilege: Taking On the System of White Supremacy and Racism (Paperback) by Chip Smith

[dionysian83]

@aicram62

I would but its has a racist cover. So i will not fincially support such ignorance. Why dont you read Race And Culture: A World View by Thomas Sowell. Then maybe you will have some perspective rather than your narrow liberal view of the United States.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

@dionysian83 Thomas Sowell is the LAST person whose perspective on race we need, he's the worst apologist for racism and greed going, truly an evil slug.

[dionysian83]

@ColumbiaCowboy No Sowell is exactly what we need. If you actually read his books he provides world perspective about race in a carefull scientific manner. Wether you agree with him or not there is no denying this. The most important reason why many poeple need to read his books it because it is contrary to all the brainwashing anti-western, dime a donzen brainwashing garbage that young poeple are exposed to at universitys these days.

[kmizunophotography]

RIP Howard Zinn

[SalmonberryFilms]

thanks for responding to this comment andy...scorzeny is all over the place posting his nasty comments & troubled ideas on zinn, He has every right to do so, but so do we to respond and overwhelm his hatred with respect and balance.

[scorzeny45]

good riddance to this leftwing liberal jew from brooklyn.He constantly bashed america and her veterans,i wish he would have left this country and preached his revisionist crap over there.Screw him.

[andyx1205]

He bashed America's veterans?

You stupid fuck. Howard Zinn HIMSELF was a veteran from WORLD WAR 2 and he was a part of the crew that is known for the first uses of NAPALM (they did it on german soldiers and french civilians 2 weeks before WWII ended, for experimentation since the war was already over).

After that, he said that he looked at his medals, put them in an envelope, and said, "never again."

[aicram62]

READ A BOOK!

[barbaradering]

wow scorzeny45, it would be hard to imagine you as a decent human being based on your immature hateful uneducated comment. You sound like a inbred recessive gene trait trailer trash cracker peckerwood how enjoys calling people names. Zinn NEVER bashed vets, I think perhaps you are just too stupid to comprehend his contributions and this makes you very angry? So sorry bout that.

[JakeUpMa]

you must be a very sad person. good thing you have the internet to vent.

[baglady77]

[ElCanuque]

Proof of precisely what Howard Zinn has argued about the "natural" aspect of human warfare, and the ability for all of us - as individuals - to inspire change collectively.

Thank you Howard Zinn!

[elKachuko]

RIP, compañero. your legacy will carry on.

[TASSOPENSATORE]

very well: civil disobedience forever. peace now!

[tightuscuntis]

Civil Disobedience for all, independent of convictions, political and religious views!

[lordvelos]

Power to the people!

[Raford146]

no delay!

[xgirlfiendx]

I love the quote in the beginning.

Again, amazing.

[newgness]

DR Paul is out. so now the next step CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE .......... Do it while we still can

[phwaap]

Fuckin' pigz!

[PuellaLepidus]

I love that Matt Damon narrates.

[195354]

For the people by the people. We have the right to object. We have a right to be patriotic but not nationalistic. To be dissenters but not good Nazis. War is for corporations and politicians. For the people by the people not for the rich by the rich.

[wsmvp22]

amen.

[sonicspy79]

very well put.

[greenearthnazi20204u]

@195354 all laws ,all governments,all religions ,good or bad .are just beliefs ,like easter bunny they are not true or right .just like Nazi were devil worshiper so are Meany in our government. so they go to church and fool the people so easy .corporations and politicians have no laws or government.

[DuppyDurruti]

Go on, Howard-- Calling out of the crypto-fascists in the crowd is brilliant!!

[1oneundergod1]

note the nolding of hands

one it feels good

two it prevents those who would discredit the cause with violence, the hands to discredit the cause by doing violence

if its for peace[full] resistance holds our brothers and sisters hands,

it enjoins us as into one body[for the one god of living ,loving, grace filled peacefull oneness

being as one [in peace] for the only one[grace]

[msbobbie2u]

very interesting, I remember a little about this, I agree with Howard Zinn, times have changed so much, it is horrible what this world has become, I wish we could have world peace and love for one another, thanks Steph Stance for sharing, and inviting me to watch.

[wsmvp22]

...don't you think that his point is that the world hasn't changed? we just keep making the same mistakes...

[msbobbie2u]

actually yes, I should had worded my contentions differently, in looking at it in another perspective you are 100% correct,his point yes it is true AND correct, I should had chosen my words differently, thanks for the reply, be well

[jensing127]

Steph sent me here.

This is a vid everyone should see!

GO RENT THIS!!

[StephStance]

This a must see..... thanks for posting.

[3swoosh2]

don't forget guys that zinn himself is part of the elite, so is damon. so if they're telling that all kinds of rebellion type of stuff is what ppl should be doing, I'd suspect that there's a little agenda here. Always control both sides of the conflict, put an elite to cause the problem, and another elite to 'counter' it. that way u control the pre planned outcome.

[michelle1688]

as relevant today as ever. Like he said the laws are made by mere mortal (almost exclusively rich, white men). Most of them are in place to serve the interests of ruling class. When we fight back we are obeying a higher law, a moral law.

[incogx454]

Huh, it took a moment to recognize it, but Matt Damon must be narrating.

[screenplay777]

The inner bravery within Howard Zinn is within us all. How do we tap into it? First listen to his principles and ideas with our conscience.
