Hard Times According to Henry George (Great Thinker of the 1800's)

What is Communism?

A proletariat system, by which labourers and industries commune together, by which those making profit are few men of the elite. The idea is to eradicate the class struggle that exists upon Capitalism.

The nature of humanity and having free will indicates that Communism cannot work - only through terror or violence.

"George considered himself a purifier of Capitalism, not its enemy. He built upon the foundations laid by the classical economists. The skeleton of his system is essentially Capitalist. In fact, Karl Marx referred to George's teaching as 'Capitalism's last ditch.'" -- Dr. Robert V. Andelson

To understand the fundamental difference between Georgist capitalism and Marxist communism, google: "Common rights vs. Collective rights" (an essay by Dan Sullivan)

Thank you for your input. It is highly appreciative and i will read Dan Sullivan's essay.

What do we define as Capitalism?

Capitalism is an economic system, in which labourers and industries are controlled by Private owners for profit.

A Capitalist is an investor or a rich person- one who favours Capitalism.

I own the book "The science of political economy" written by Henry George, very fascinating and i am understanding it all the way 100%. Been studying this, full on along with The Capital and The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx.

great video.interesting story.love when you read.. can listen to you all day.

[alduffy2009]

I know this may sound a little weird but how about a mashup video of Carl's words?

[paulagloria]

damn I wish you were an editor...you are so wise

[alduffy2009]

Stop it! flattery will get you everything.

We all have hidden talents I just wish I could concentrate on one thing and profit from it.or create an income from it.

[alduffy2009]

Boy, you cover alot of ground, to bad Carl can't get more hits at the moment.

Maybe if the videos were fragmented like a presidential speech.

[paulagloria]

I agree about Carl needing more attention but I am only one person...maybe as rabbithole grows I can get more savy editors as the material is profound and you have to care about the material..

you are right smaller spots

cheers, Al!

i think that Carl Person could be a great thinker. He's got solution consciousness and suggests good things. He enfranchises people. Sometimes a good negative analysis can start a simplistic solution. I still have this idea for making biosynthetic methane central to the energy strategy. This is a complex solution and a little difficult to get behind. It means capture sun using algae>store or digest the biomass>methane the most widely usable gaseous fuel. If it works, it will help everyone.

I answered you on my latest I will try to post today called "Mastering Masturbation"

basically it is a question not of the energy available but the willingness to implement a new economic system.

Nekkid's OK. i know i'm watchin' causa' that. What is the situation or the circumstances that could create a happier world without excessive rules and gaming? We pride ourselves on our status, but it is actually the only reason we kill one another as well. There is an adversity attribute to how we relate. We forget that we are more adaptable if we are not adverse or conflicted. Basically our entire enculturation is that of conflict, competition, hard and cruel hierarchies!

You should read "The Sociopath Next Door" by Dr. Martha Stout. She says that conscience is "the seventh sense" and that it's still evolving in human beings. Basically, as a species, we are starting to realize that we can't keep fighting over resources because the game of survival has changed. Instead, we have to work together, take care of each other, and use resources wisely. We are still learning how to control the "sprawl" of civilization. I know - that's more of an insight than an answer :)
