  • Would you anti-democratic fucking idiots just shut the fuck up for two fucking seconds and fire some fucking brain matter for once in your life and analyze your own god damn position? Your position is this: The masses are too fucking stupid to be directly involved in decision making, therefore a minority of decision-makers should be in charge. Whether you are right or wrong you must see that you're producing a fucking identical argument as every civilization ever. Not new, not enlightened.

  • elites? LOL he played to much Halo hahahahaha :DDDDDDD

  • hahaha the "elites" hate democracy? How? It serves as the near PERFECT way to have controlled opposition. When you bribe the simple majority with goodies the next generation will have to pay for then you basically can rule the world with it.

    Here's a good video on it.

    watch?v=5eNrfDFFvME&feature=fe­edu

  • @ProDCloud simplistic, and silly too.

  • If we agree that this "elite" has been in power for quite some time, how is it that they are elected democraticaly?Yes they manipulate voters with media, false promises etc, but most people aren't as smart as, say, Chomsky is and they don't know shit, even without the manipulation. Democracy, in the long run, is nothing more than mob rule. Stupid people making discisions for everybody else, including bright people like Chomsky, how can perfectly well make their own judgements and be free.

  • yea, b/c Chomsky LOVES democracy, especially the kind they have in Cuba.....

  • Sharing bread is always hard and difficult task for any normal selfish person. The secret looming behind the cloud is that this is indeed necessary thing man must do. Otherwise he might sooner or later find himself sitting on a horse with noose on his neck.

  • If Mr. Chomsky wants to see the "elite" all he has to do is look in the nearest mirror.

  • @oldstock1607 he is an exception obviously. I am sure you can understand that he implies that

  • All of it true, well said Mr. Chomsky. The elite and their institutions shake in their boots at even the prospect of the "people" controlling anything other than minor roles in their institutions they instill. It has been going on since human history, the ruling of the laboring class, or that of the "poor" only poor because somehow there are still persons of privilege. Modern aristocracy is very real, and their worldview and worship must be abolished.

  • How timely is this video? Well, always timely, but especially right now. With the occupy wall street crowds and the response from elites that make them sound like the worst scum on the planet.

  • I'm guessing everyone is just assuming you can't have an opinion against democracy unless your an elitist? because I think that democracy is dangerous for far different reasons being that a democracy has very little incentive to listen to a minority.

    If 51% gets the say so in decisions, then it's theoretically possible that 49% are shit out of luck.

    If the united states was a democracy, which arguably isn't, then I wouldn't want to live here.

    not enough room in comments >:/

  • @MirageScience I would go for a Democracy a la greek, i.e. with voting and non voting citizens.

    To be a voting citizen you have to read and write, beyond functional analphabet, probably you need to pass an exam where you are given a random book and have to articulate an opinion on it, say, next day in front of a panel of 5 voting citizens.

  • @QuantumProphet not only that but pure democracy is mob rule - plain and simple.

    that's why people have rights - to protect them from the majority.

  • @MaxAC40 Protect them from the majority? Hahaha, o no look out! It's the majority! They're poor! They have rocks! Run! Hahaha, too funny man

  • @wspsaves I know what you mean - but I'm sure you understand the dangers of pure democracy. I'm just saying democracy doesn't protect the minority from the majority, and the majority can be a tyrant too.

    Here's one you might get a laugh out of:

    What do 9 out of 10 people like?

    Gang Bang

    Just because the majority wants it, or it would make the most people happy, doesn't make it right. You might disagree with me on that, but that's just where I stand.

  • @MaxAC40 Haha, I'd be curious where that statistic came from, but I see your point. I think a lot of the negative qualities of popular opinion may stem from the hegemonic culture we live in, and the oppression inacted by power culture that coerces people into thinking gang banging is anything but a de-evolution into a bonobo monkey, simian state. The majority's opinion is largely swayed by the interests, macchinations, and behaviors of the ruling majority, that's the main problem in my mind

  • @MaxAC40 Ruling *minority, sorry.

  • Of course the elite don't like democracy, why would they. It empowers the masses. If the people are well informed, democracy can be vastly beneficial. However, if the people are not allowed to be informed, or are distracted from the truth, their choices an be harmful without them even knowing it.

  • @lobestarter1 Democracy is mob rule, and always results in apathy as people realize they can vote themselves money.

    There's a reason why things called rights exist, because people need to be protected from the masses

  • This man deserves to be killed.

  • Communism is control over everyones lives. Look what happened in the USSR. Communism killed over 40 million innocent people! No freedoms whatsoever!

  • @Sherbearmom1 ??what?

    communism hasnt happened yet.

  • @Sherbearmom1 you obviously have no idea what communism is. the USSR wasn't communist, it was sovjet, china is and never was, it's maoist, the only country that came remotely close to the communist ideas was cuba. communism is a utopic theory and it has never been put in practice, except purhaps by some small communities. and go telling me now i'm a communist, i am not, never was, never will be.

  • @Sherbearmom1 Look at what happened in the USSR? That wasn't communism. It was state capitalism governed by a paranoid bunch of bureaucratic mass-murderers.

  • @jpbb1976 The USSR was state capitalism? Geez! People can say anything on YT and get a bunch of morons to agree with them!

  • @MillionthUsername The USSR WAS state capitalism. Fact! The only two institutions in the world that were calling the USSR 'socialism' were the two biggest propaganda machines on Earth: The West; and USSR itself... both for the opposite reasons... both lying. The West called it socialism as a way of discrediting actual socialism by linking it to the atrocities of Stalin. And the USSR called it socialism to try to gain moral credence that is associated with socialism. Fact!

  • @undercoverbrother67 "The USSR WAS state capitalism. Fact!"

    That's too idiotic to even reply to.

  • @MillionthUsername You're so idiotic you don't realise that you just replied to it you fuckin' moron. Thank God for Americans like Chomsky... they are needed to counter-balance the many many ignoramus' that exist in that land. You dumb yank

  • @undercoverbrother67 Up your meds. 

  • @MillionthUsername Up your red white and blue ass

  • @MillionthUsername You're so corrupted by your country's propaganda that you probably think that nationalisation means communism. Tit

  • @jpbb1976 of course, its never communism its never Islam or any other ideology when it does terrible things. i think capitalism is in its dying days and in large part thats good, but you are goddamn moron. if YOU didnt like it then that means it MUST be the thing you hate, in this case capitalism. state capitalism?? its one thing to say it wasnt PURELY communist, but to call it the exact opposite is as Orwellian as the USSR. idiot.

  • @jpbb1976 Capitlaism is private owenrship there cannot be state capitlaism. USSR was state greed.

  • @King100Joe Please crawl back under your rock and shut the fuck up.

  • A moneyless, classless, stateless community is COMMUNIST which DENIES humanity of their freedoms as well as rights to self government! No one has the right to take something away from someone who has worked extremely hard for it and give it to someone who hasn't done diddly squat!

  • @Sherbearmom1 like no one has the right to take something away from a wallstreet banker who work extremily hard for his money and give it to a tax paying construction worker who can't find work because some asshole in NYC got him unemployed for a few extra bucks so his grandson can afford the suit valued at the same price then someones annual income?

  • @King100Joe "people like you should be found and killed"

    Of course I should be found and killed. Thats where America is headed: The mass slaughter of all who dissent and criticize American government policy, foreign or domestic. You are exactly the sort of person destined to become America's version of the Brown Shirts.

  • @urielrabo

    nobody

  • Don't systemise anything let every individual do his own thing. Nature does it all the time so why not we? Human beings are not as intelligent as they believe they are. For all we know intelligence itself may be a disease of degeneration a deviation from the norm. An abberation.

  • I love Noam, but with that smile (and teeth), he looks like David Letterman.

  • Chomsky IS PART OF the Elite class.

  • I'm not sure why arguments over political systems deteriorate to such hostility and simplistic comments. Until humans are able to sit together rationally and discuss the merits/drawbacks of political theory, there is no hope.

    Might I suggest the anger we feel to opposing viewpoints is the result of what Chomsky refers to as "emotionally potent oversimplifications." Running a society is a complex problem which requires thinking of equal complexity.

  • @jasondelauro "Until humans are able to sit together rationally and discuss the merits/drawbacks of political theory, there is no hope."

    When all (or most) of us understand this, we will move on. Until then, we can expect more of the things we are seeing now...

  • I Understand that you are obviously brain damaged so I will have mercy on the fact that you just cant fully grasp reality. You can believe what ever you want bapyou. You deserve to be at peace in your own personal eutopian dream scape! Here is an imaginary furry stuffed rabbit that you can hug and pet while you enjoy the beautiful sunset.....................Bla­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaMMMM!

  • chumpsky need to have his mouth shut with a nine iron full swing! LOL

  • @DK0526

    "chumpsky need to have his mouth shut with a nine iron full swing!"

    Of course! The old fascist golf game! Hitler, Mussolini and Franco tee off at 10 am. See you in the clubhouse! Keep those intellectuals in line! Fore!

  • @bapyou you might want to check your history shit 4 brains! Hitler was a socialist.....nazi stands for national SOCIALIST. And although Mussolini was a fascist....fascism is just another brand of socialism. So wise up dumb ass!

  • @DK0526 is a dumb ass who doesn;t know a shred of history. Here is what this stupid fuck wrote to me:

    "Hitler was a socialist.....nazi stands for national SOCIALIST."

    By DK0526's stupid jack-ass logic, therefore The People's Democratic Republic of North Korea is a democracy. And everyone on Earth knows that stupid fuck conservative Americans would never agree to such a statement.

    The name of the NAZI party was a ruse. It was in fact extremely right-wing, anti-semtic & anti-communist.

  • @DK0526 Hitler sent communists to the gas chambers along with Jews. He was supported by Germany's elite familes (Krupp, etc), for whom he saved German capitalism from a communist revolution. Lastly, Mein Kampf is full of Hitler's hatred for both communism & communists.

    So what history, exactly, don't I know genius?

    As for Mussolini, chew on this quote from him:

    "Fascism [is] the complete opposite of Marxian Socialism. It denies class-war (as a) force in the transformation of society."

  • @bapyou socialism is basically organized crime. Just like a mafia crime family who knocks out rival families Hitler had to get the competition out of the way. Socialists ironically are supported by criminal so called "capitalists" like Ted Turner, George Soros, Ken Lay and many others who wish to squash competition. Hitler like most criminal socialists has many contradictions. After all he didnt have Blond hair or Blue eyes! Dont listen to his words look at his actions...Purely socialist !

  • @DK0526 "socialism is basically organized crime"

    Yo ho! And capitalism is ... wot? The FBI?

    Anyone with a modicum of knowledge can tell you, the FBI is a criminal organization in itself. The KGB were amatuers in comparison.

    "Hitler had to get the competition out of the way."

    Does this make him socialist? A main ideal of all socialists is a worker-controlled society that denies a ruling class. Hitler was supported and funded by Germany's ruling class. You know absolutely nothing.

  • @bapyou And fascists also may wish to present themselves as something different then socialist but if they smell like shit and look like shit...quess what they are socialists steaming and all piled up! Lets look at the facts for you simpler lefties... Nazis and fascists and communists and even organized crime all want a big powerful government, provided they have access to the power over the people and no other competition to get in thier way. Libertarians and some conservatives want freedom!

  • @DK0526 "fascists and communists and even organized crime all want a big powerful government"

    That's not true at all. True communism is about the abolition of the state. You've proved you're ignorant of basic Marxist doctrine.

    You've never read Marx, but you pontificate about communism. And you've never read basic fascist German history. You're a complete idiot. The only thing you have is garden-variety anti-commie sentiments, which have been propagandized in America for 90 years.

  • @bapyou errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt wrongo! You my friend are the fucken idiot! I have read the communist manifesto and clearly if you werent such a commie shill you would realize that everywhere and everytime communism has been tried it has failed miseribly. Only a complete fucking moron would want to try it again! Even our current world problems are a direct result of socialist tamperings. Chinas recent successes are due only to its new capitalist tamperings. You are so delusional that you need help

  • @DK0526 "Chinas recent successes are due only to its new capitalist tamperings."

    I guess you haven't read about Chinese workers committing suicide because they haven't been paid for their work. Or the great union movements forming in China. Also many Chinese workers are returning to their villages because it is not worth it to live like a wage slave in the cities.

    China is no longer a socialist nation; it is state capitalist. And, as in any captalist country, only a few profit.

  • @DK0526 "everytime communism has been tried it has failed miseribly."

    And the U.S. has seen that it fails. The U.S. has invaded, subverted, sabotaged and destabilized every socialist experiment in existence. Look at Chile 1973 or Nicaragua in the 80s. Not one was let be.

    "our current world problems are a direct result of socialis(m)."

    That's like saying the weather is caused by green men from Mars. It's a nonsensical statement accompanied by no data to back up its claim.

  • @bapyou You're such an intellectual wannabe. "True communism bla bla bla bla bla". TRUE communism is that which has been practiced, throwing out some weak textbook definition to disprove that which reality suggests (that communism seeks to have a highly centralized and powerful government) is you trying to come to terms with your own inadequacy. You're the idiot. Just admit that you are in favor of Marx rather than tear down those who put down the stupidity that is Marxism.

  • @bapyou People such as yourself like to think that Marxism is something complex; it isn't at all. "Marxism" is nothing more than a series of Swiss cheese criticisms of capitalism strewn together. It attracts people who are of weak mind because it relies on the user to feel that the sum of these straw-mans amount to something; which they don't.

    In reality, you don't know shit bapy. You're the dumbass in Good Will Hunting reciting what he's been taught, er, indoctrinated to believe. Piss off.

  • @mtb416 The economic analysis ofcapitlism by Karl Marx is  still relevant and the intellectual pimps of the Market system have distorted the essence of his monumental work. As long as we live in a Profit driven anarchic Market system Karl Marx would be relevant, lets bury his ghost by abolishing capitalism for a worlf of cooperation for our common needs and well being, a moneyless,classless,statelss communities of humanity in harmony and wisdom within and without.

  • @arzoyan Marx was great at analyzing, too bad he forgot the hardest part, which is to create a system that can supplant capitalism. Thoreau asked this question, but he resolved to the understanding that given our nature as humans we will not be able to evolve beyond such a system of democracy (capitalism).

  • @mtb416 To limit our possibilities to a system legalised robbery of immense humanity by a criminal minority for eternity is just sheer nonsense,  the depth of your servitude and slave mentality is extraordinary.

  • @mtb416 "Marxism" is nothing more than a series of Swiss cheese criticisms of capitalism strewn together."

    More proof that you know nothing whatsoever about Marx. It fact Marx admired capitalism.

    "(Marxism) attracts people who are of weak mind"

    Well that's nice. Trying to convince yourself of something are we? I've been thinking for myself since I was 16 years old and told the cops in my hometown to go fuck themselves.

    Seig heil, Adolph. Seig fucking heil.

  • @bapyou Your comment doesn't mean a thing to me, bapy.

    Yes, Swiss Cheese. Yes, weak of mind. In fact, your last sentence proves the sentence before this one. Have a good one oh useless musician on disability.

  • @mtb416

    Marxism describes how ppl make economy with social organization & technology. Contradictions get negated. Feudalism fell when it stagnated, kings no longer required, Just as Capitalism 'digs it's own grave' with ever worsening inequality & goes into crisis due to saturation! Markets get wage cuts to compete & nobody can buy.

    Capitalist 'kings', trash environment & lives in a myopic rat-race.

    unsustainable, Shove myopic profiteering by bankers and worst corps into the dustbin of history.

  • @marsCubed Great, you've proven my point to the T.

    Tell me, perhaps you could inform both me and Thoreau as to what our next evolutionary jump is. As is, capitalism and democracy have yet to be supplanted by any greater ideas. Your assertion that capitalism has failed or has led to worsening inequality is mostly false. The reason America is so powerful is because of its large middle-class; it seems to me that this is due in large part to capitalism.

  • @marsCubed We work on a global scale economy now, so when you have currency cheaters such as China, who purposely devalue their currency to undercut ALL other countries, the system will not work as intended and you'll find greater inadequacy. You must remember, though, to separate the inadequacy created by improper actions (such as with China monetary manipulation) with those inadequacies inherent in Capitalism. If you fail to do this you'll not having an honest discussion of Capitalism.

  • @marsCubed But of course, you don't want an honest conversation of Capitalism, now do you?

  • @mtb416 Consider that Chinese workers are forming trade unions now and going on strike, large scale industrial action is growing across the country.

    Chinese workers are demanding more pay and better conditions.

    More pay means they are more able to buy good from abroad.

    They are often striking against the very same corps that screw USA wages and force Americans into low pay.

    Capitalism is a rat race. everybody loses except bosses.

    Capitalism sinks economies for myopic & destructive profiteering.

  • @marsCubed You're not making any sense. You say "Capitalism sinks economies" yet the biggest economy ever, the US, is predicated upon capitalism.

    And Chinese workers are fighting for democracy, not against capitalism. Chinese leaders are the biggest capitalists out there, but that doesn't mean they extend this democratization of the market to the social welfare of the people.

    You hate capitalism, I get it. But like most who feel as you do you have difficulty staying focused.

  • @mtb416 The wealthiest populations in the world are Norway & Denmark, highest taxes on the top 2%, socialized utilities, most equal populations on the planet.

    Excellent education & healthcare, not in debt to their own rich.

    USA economy is a fake, patents lead comes from US NAVY. Permanent arms economy hides tax benefits from the population.

    You have propaganda for brains. USSR revolution defeated by USA & Stalin, no democracy; China; peasants, long march, no worker power.

    Both state capitalist.

  • @marsCubed Denmark has a population of 5.5m. All your examples are so self-serving that they cannot be taken seriously. Sorry.

  • @mtb416 So if I get a state with more people than Denmark and less than US yet has worse social outcomes than both that sits where in your weird argument? China is bigger than India and has BETTER outcomes. How does that fit? The US has the worlds reserve currency and runs the biggest empire/debt the world has ever seen, how does that fit? And go get hold of 'The Spirit Level' that shows irrefutably that more equitable countries - even the states within the US -do much better!

  • @StunnedByStupidity You simply said "China is bigger than India and has BETTER outcomes." In what respect and how do you support that? I'm not saying you're incorrect, but without empirical or some form of qualitative research that amounts to nothing more than an opinion.

    And national deficits are measured in ratios, not total sums. There are many countries, such as Japan, that run a higher national deficit, in terms of ratio, than the USA.

    Of course we can better, everyone can.

  • @mtb416 I am amazed you are a) attempting to split hairs after your non empirical initial argument (a little ironic don't you think?) and b) didn't attempt to verify some random metric. So here are some:

    List of countries by life expectancy' on google

    'List of countries by infant mortality rate' on google

    'Economy Statistics > Gross National Income (per capita) (most recent) by country ' on google

    But this is all redundant, your argument was that mere size can explain why the Scandinavian

  • @StunnedByStupidity trump the US in almost all metrics. This is NOT the explanation. The explanation is wealth distribution. The more equal the society the better the quality of life FOR ALL CITIZENS. And this is even applicable to states within the US the more equal, the fewer teenage pregnancies, less violence, more social mobility, happier people, more trusting people, less sexism, less obese people, less mental illness - just pick a social indicator. Read the book

  • @StunnedByStupidity 'The spirit level' or watch an interview with the authors:

    'The Spirit Level by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett ' on you tube

    'The Spirit Level why more equal societies almost always do better IPH interview authors ' on you tube

    There is little or no improvement in happiness with incomes over around $20,000 (unless you have no friends - where you need around $50,000 to compensate). This is GOOD news because we cannot grow anymore or we are all fucked.

  • @StunnedByStupidity You talk about deficits, I responded with facts about GDP/Debt ratios, and you respond with "life expectancy?" I am stunned by your stupidity.

  • @mtb416 Oh dear you have gone insane. Admittedly have come on the tail of the conversation. The poster mentioned the low debt and the quality of the culture in Denmark - YOU claimed the only explanation was country size and that is patently wrong. They you get all shouty and stupid. You are also defending capitalism in a stupid simplistic way... Getting a right dodgy whiff from you...

  • @StunnedByStupidity You counter similar to someone who has lost. 

  • @mtb416 Seek help - IMMEDIATELY!

  • @StunnedByStupidity The second you encounter an informed opinion you change the subject. Go non sequitur the hell out of someone else. You predicate your arguments on a bunch of random metrics that you hope the reader will add up to some sum worth something.

  • @mtb416 Aw bless you running low on medication. You asked, I delivered, you got stupid and childish - it aint my fault crazy person...

  • When I hear that 45% of the people in the US believe that the Universe is less than 10,000 years old, initially I get scared, but then there's that 55% which is at least statistically capable of electing an intelligent person. That's something anyway! (hooo boy we're f*cked!)

  • other might call it a Kleptocracy

  • I love Noam but.....

    The USA is not a democracy it is a REBUBLIC. Republic means rule of law. Common law.

    Democracy is MOB rule. No law. Nothing more and nothing less. You wanna be ruled by a mob? Carefull what you wish for, it may come true.

  • Chomsky is wrong. There are only 2 forms of government. Oligarchy and Republicanism. Democracy is more a kin to Oligarchy because the 'tyranny of the masses' can be manipulated to vote for things that will hurt them. Republicanism is the rule of law and was what the United States once was. Democracies don't last very long as they become Oligarchies.

  • A moneyless,classless,stateless communities of humanity expressing our freedom in creative harmonious cooperation for a world that is so POTENTIALLY AND ACTUALLY nourishing. Capitalism in any form, Statist or Corporatist is the denial of our common humanity in a politically manipulated,tyrannical armed MARKET SYSYTEM of artificial scarcity that is designed to perpetuate the enslavement of immense humanity for material interest of the criminal ruling elite.

  • @arzoyan You sound like a textbook.

  • @tonygmilan7 Money/currency is not only the medium of exchange but also a commodity, hence the interest and multi trillion dollar currency exchange as a profitable busines. Most importantly money is the medium of exploitation and exclusion, its the CHAIN OF CONTROL OVER WORKING MEN AND WOMEN BY THE OWNING RULING CLASS.

  • @arzoyan How are you commie creeps going to steal everyone's property again? I keep missing that part of the "I Love Communism" speech. I guess you're hoping we all will give you our property and money and say, "Rule over us, please!" Is that right? After all, commies are such peaceful pussycats, aren't they? They're just head over heels in love with "humanity" - just as long as "humanity" is not an actual person that's staring down the barrel of your guns, eh?

  • @MillionthUsername Private Property Relationship is a Class concept for the interest of the criminal ruling elite, Majority are livinf the fear of the capitalist socio-economic condition of alienation,exploitation and suffering , your clinging to the values of your owners is understandable. Science and technology the fruit of painfull human evolution has made plenty in harmony for all a reality. Market system is outdated,destructive and dehumanising. IMAGINE A WORLD OF NO POSSESSION

  • @arzoyan "IMAGINE A WORLD OF NO POSSESSION"

    That's a world of starvation. SOMEBODY must POSSESS something, you fool. And you don't want a "world of no possession"; you want a world where you commies steal everyone's property and claim it as your own.

    If commies are against PROPERTY, then they wouldn't build an entire system BASED on conquering it! They simply want to be able to form a mob and take things that don't belong to them by force. It is the base instinct of a savage.

  • @MillionthUsername understandably for you Socialism is the tyrannical regime of China and ex- Soviet Union, but if you had any courage and integrity of mind and intelligence you would have realised that those countries are integral part of the WORLD CAPITALISM. Parroting for your owners maybe rewarding for your false ego.

  • @arzoyan If "socialism" is voluntary and non-violent, then why do they all talk about "wage slavery" and "taking control" of everything? HOW do you "take control" over other people's property without violence? How can you refer to an employment contract as "slavery" when it is a voluntary exchange?

    I'm talking about Chomsky and his ilk, not China or Russia. What's the difference? None of you ever give a straight answer. You simply obfuscate the question - continually and ritually.

  • @MillionthUsername The hisoric evolution of PRIVATE PROPERTY RELATIONSHIP is the imposition of force over many by millitarised few, read any history text critically and you conclude we are far from any meanongfull freedom except the so called freedom of renting ourselves to an employer to recreate the conditions of exploitation., the current global capitalist crisis is the crisis o HISTORIC TENDENCY OF FALLING RATE OF f PROFIT which is the structrual contradiction built into the system .

  • @MillionthUsername Everyone wants to get rich to get out of that voluntary contract, you are either a paid agent to spread confusions or just simply too stupid to understand the social reality.

  • @arzoyan I started a business with $400, you idiot commie jackass. I know tons of people who did the same with a little more or even a little less money. No employer ever forced me to work for them. The gov't didn't force me to work for them. Employment is an economic choice people make, you ignorant twit. There are pros and cons to every choice. It's hard to start a business. Some prefer a steady paycheck and no risk. Some prefer the risk. We are not all the same, moron.

  • @MillionthUsername 4OO top rich guys in USA have more wealth than half of the U.S. population combined, you are stuck in your daily ritual of money worship in the most diseased , indebted ,stupified and dehumanised State in the world, American way of life is a marketing ploy run by pimps of Corporate profit .

  • @arzoyan All you do is spew useless rhetoric. Why? These idiotic things you say to me mean nothing. I don't worship money, you fool. I don't support the US fascist system. You made a stupid economic point and I replied. I explained to you that people make different choices and that's why some can handle being entrepreneurs and others can't. You come back at me with a bunch of totally irrelevant ranting about "400 top rich guys" and "pimps of Corporate profit." Am I supposed to be a rich pimp?

  • @MillionthUsername LOL, I agree. Even the radical communities are becoming like the conspiracy-theory communities. You cant have one word in the conversation without it turning into some explosive argument and hundreds of irrelevant rantings about how "you're in on it" with The Man. Even the local anarchist chapters that have collective housing here in Denver bitch and moan that way. They have property, printing presses, everything. Everbody's factions are bullshit. Everyone is self-delusional.

  • @arzoyan that makes (almost all of) us whores, doesn't it, prostituting ourselves for our (factually) useles gadgets and needles comfort in the rich countries and for sheer survival in poor countries. it is a global disease, not just an american, no matter if the country is a (so called) democracy, a (so called) communist state, a theocracy, a plain dictatorship.. it all comes down to the same, they're all in the grip of the corporate criminals

  • Comment removed

  • @arzoyan and those people pay most of the taxes, which half of the country doesn't pay at all, and allows people to live work free

    for some reason I feel like you either don't live in a ghetto, or you're not in a Law Enforcement family.

    If you were you would see it first hand - I have.

    MY family is LE, but extended family are like the leaches who suck off the system and don't work - claiming disability (heartburn), collecting under aliases, and taking home 2,000 cash each week because of it.

    How could you possibly come to a video of an ACTUAL political mind in Noam and spout such BS? Look into Hitchens - look into ANYONE - especially more Noam because you're obviously only seeing what you want to see.

  • @MaxAC40 To share the Earth in cooperation for all generations to come, A MONEYLESS,CLASSLESS,STATELESS communities of humanity expressing our multitude of creative energies in harmony and wisdom, The current world socio-economic minority imposition is the negation and alienation of our common humanity Capitalism in corporate or state modality is the tyranical rule of RULING ELITE . The awakening is inevitable, the revolution a must

  • @arzoyan Easy to say, explain how it would work.

    Don't say anarcho-syndicalism.

    Capitalism allows someone the freedom to work only enough to support themselves, without the necessity of supporting oneself and contributing to the masses by force of government.

    You're a child. Grow up.

  • @MaxAC40 Science and technology has made a WORLD of plenty in harmony a reality, however the dominant minority interest has created the MARKET MECHANISM OF ARTIFICIAL SCARCITY and THE WAGE SLAVERY for the abstract process of capital accumulation and concentration. If you can not comprehend these few words then your life journey is utter waste and distortion

  • @arzoyan Be your own boss, and pay your employees however you deem fit.

    problem solved

  • @MaxAC40 Its nothing personal here.

  • @MaxAC40

    Not everybody wants to open up a business.Some people have more of a need to serve people and they lack that type A energy to run their own company.We also need people like nurses.Are we all going to self employed in the future?

  • @ossiorn

    Submission,Sentence correction: Going to be self employed in the future.

  • @ossiorn Read what I was responding to when I said that. The guy spewed out the same rubbish over and over and didn't care to either explain his point nor did he care to explain a viable alternative.

    The means by which a company chooses to pay its employees is up to the company. If you want to change something then make its business structure more democratic for its employees. Also there are more and more jobs where people are able to negotiate their contracts or choose their own schedule

  • @arzoyan Good point. But don't disregard people who don't have the "right" education. These terms you mention are actually self explanatory and not that complex to comprehend. So good on you for giving a fuck. But boo to you for attempting to be a stuffy "intelligent" wanker.. We all do it though so you're forgiven... Peace and keep reading.

  • I don't hate democracy, like Churchill said it is the absolute worst form of government except for every other form of government. I live on Long Island where in the 1980s the people got their representatives to do something that quite possibly adversely the energy policy of the entire country. I've been making a documentary on the subject for the past year and a half:

    watch?v=H5W_vtgdRfk

  • all you people here talk tough against the system today......DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!! you are all the same people, who, when action is needed, sit on your complacent asses and go along with the mainstream.

    all you people do is leave comments on videos. real nice action, ,there!

  • Exactly! Now you wonder why those Tea Party people scream that America is "not a democracy." They are told that by their masters. (in newsletters)

  • democracy breads mediocrity...power is money. money is power. Those who have influence have money. Democracy is a weapon used by the elite to pacify us into believing we have a voice. Democracy, communism, socialism etc. etc. are all intellectual perversions which exist solely to undermine the sovereignty of nations and their cultures.

    America along with every other western "democracy" are completely beholden to a clandestine international corporate elite. PERIOD.

  • @dpman72,

    There exists an secret financial cabal that controls every major international institution, every major transnational corporation, every major international banking institution, every central bank, and every nation-state on earth. This self-perpetuating board has gradually developed an elaborate system to manipulate governments and consumers across the globe. They are in the last phases of developing a World Empire from their headquarters in Germany.

  • Wall Street is the Perfect Oligarchy.

  • Free markets do not actually exist.

  • @AnonymousWhitePerson Only for you and me, not for the elites :)

  • Comment removed

  • @AnonymousWhitePerson a separate working class does not exist either. Political science is mass entertainment. Not dealing with reality. The system works by degrading education and then having the majority decide a nation's destiny. That majority is, by definition, uneducated. The collective psychosis is such that even pointing out these facts is viewed as fascism... Ciclic history. Works beautifully.

  • @AnonymousWhitePerson perhaps not 100% but historically the freer the market the freer the people and the wealthier the people be they rich, middle or Poor. I'd rather be Poor in America then equal in N Korea or most of the rest of the world. Apperantly, the rest of the world agrees deep down because unlike the rest of the shit hole socialist countries who fence thier people in we have to fence people out. The facts are inescapable for the commie turds!

  • @AnonymousWhitePerson You're right, the government breaks up monopolies.

  • @AnonymousWhitePerson yes they do. Market free from government intervention DO exist.

  • @AnonymousWhitePerson When did they?

  • @AnonymousWhitePerson Thank God for that. But if they did, we'd overthrow them quickly.

  • "Today the path to total dictatorship in the U.S. can be laid by strictly legal means, unseen and unheard by Congress, the President, or the people… We have a well-organized political-action group in this country, determined to destroy our Constitution and establish a one-party state…This ruthless power-seeking elite is a disease of our century… This group…is answerable neither to the President, the Congress, nor the courts. It is practically irremovable.”

    -Senator William Jenner.

  • Right-libertarians, Ron Paul, who denounce parliament/intellectual elites but ignore coporate elites, are deliberatly only looking at half the story -- because they do not disagree with the concept of private property.

    Small-l liberals, Keith Olberman, who denounce corporate elites but ignore parliament elites, are doing the same thing conversly.

  • The elites love democracy.

  • Nothing has changed? Everything has changed! Today the mob acts in the interest of the elites, by supporting control and big government.

  • @CIAagent11 It doesn't matter what you advocate for and what you oppose: you will always have elites running your life?

    Big business - fat cat, greedy bourgeoisie; destroying small businesses and cutting workers wages.

    Big government - out-of-touch and backwards politicians and bureaucrats; having the government get into your personal life, controlling your behaviour and watching you.

  • @MikhailSilverwood Don't you agree that the elites are running our lives less than 200 years ago?

  • @CIAagent11 Ever since the existence of class society, about 5,000 years ago, have elites been running the world.

    Here we are, toiling away in a pit of nothingness, and they live in wealth and luxury and tell us what to do. It's time for the masses to rise up, overthrow the current social existence, and run our lives for our own reasons.

    All elites need to be gotten rid off: all, not some.

  • @MikhailSilverwood

    The unwashed masses are easily steered by the elites. A peoples revolution will be in favor of the elites. If you want to get rid of the elites, don't support some socialist uprising. That's what they want, to stay in power.

    The wealth and power of the elites is incrementally eroding, because of free markets. If we keep moving in that direction we will live in freedom in your lifetime. But some peoples revolution would secure the elites position over you.

  • @CIAagent11 In your comments you lament about 'Big govenment', and praise the free-market, this indicates your double standard on the issue of elites. What difference is there between the economic elite on one side, which the 'free-market' has inevitably produced; and works in the interest in, and the state elite; as in government officials, public representatives etc.

  • @CIAagent11 Big government and Big business are two sides of the same coin, the state generally represents the elite interests of the ruling cass(Those who hold concentrated wealth). Personally, I oppose both big government and big business; but government should be regarded as the lesser of the two evils when compared with the private empires and corporate tyrannies.

  • @CIAagent11 At least people can excercise some limited control over the government, via functioning democracy; however, private power is totally unaccessable to public opinion. Your claim that elite power is 'incrementally eroding' because of free markets is totally false. The free-market always has and continues to perpetrate ever increasing economic disparity, inequality, and world-wide poverty.

  • Free markets do not produce or maintain an economic elite. On the contrary, free markets allow those below to compete with those on top. It is because free markets erode the power of the elites that they need government intervention to secure their position.

    Statism is not a counterforce to financial elites, it is the reason there are financial elites.

    So-called "disparity" is merely an artifact of raising incomes.

    The world-wide share of people in poverty has dramatically decreased.
