CORPORATE COMMUNISM

[Foreshadow44]

You know how to fight this: don't pay your debt.

[mikeman10]

"There is going to be no resources left... Unless you print more of it". Great idea! Germany did that in the '20s to the point where it cost nearly a billion marks to buy a loaf of bread

[TheSplashMan]

"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a Communist."

A communist criticizes the current economic system. Specifically they criticize the "freedom" that is given to the 1%, to own and profit from what the 99% produces everyday at work.

Their conclusion is that a economic system founded on exploitation is not a sustainable system. They want to replace the capitalist economy with a democratic economy.

[sicoticosandro]

lol.. americans are so stupid... communism a social health system?? they don't know shit about what they are talking about... anyway... enjoy your "american dream" while it last.

[Tokagawa89]

Only in America, you will see oxymoron's like "Corporate Communism". Dumb ass propaganda.

[RedMusicSinging]

@Tokagawa89 dumb fucking american parasites I' m American but I want to leave this shit whole. I'd like to move to Venezuela, or Cuba.

[Tokagawa89]

@RedMusicSinging Im so down to do that as well.

[lilhavanaboys]

The taking money away from the people and giving it to the Elite is CAPITALISM! What that fuck? This guy is trying to justify Capitalism by calling it Communism? What is even more sad is that people actually believe this video.

[lilhavanaboys]

CORPORATE COMMUNISM LOLOLOL!! WHAT A FAIL!!! A word that someone made up xDDDD

Communism is a stateless system. There forth he is already wrong. Two Healthcare is just a benifit not a actual system.

[bioshockftw123]

@lilhavanaboys Agreed, this moron doesn't know anything about Communism.

[lilhavanaboys]

@bioshockftw123 Corporate Communism... LOLOLOL!! Just look at the massive ammount of ignorance from the name xD

[bioshockftw123]

@lilhavanaboys Corporate Communism is just a complete contradiction.

[lilhavanaboys]

@bioshockftw123 That's like saying Capitalist Communism LOLOLOL!!

[bioshockftw123]

@lilhavanaboys Only like one group believes in a worse contradiction than this guy. The Nazbols.

[lilhavanaboys]

@bioshockftw123 LOL!!!!! For real XDDD

[SanguineBullet667]

communism is the future, racist imperialists are going down the gutter

[LibertaerUeberAlles]

Central Banking + Zionism = Corporate Communism

[roserh6]

What this ignorant propagandist shill is describing is Capitalism, not Communism. What is happening is exactly what Karl Marx, Lenin, Kautsky, Mattick, etc have described time and time again through a cogent class analysis of the functions and workings of the state and capital. Deliberate misinformation, soundbites, and the cult of the "Founding Fathers" has thousands of unread imbeciles spewing drivel on these boards and erasing the possibility of rational discourse.

[burnstagger]

Why doesn't anyone talk about the$45 billion sucked out of the U.S. economy every single year by guest workers from India? Oh, but THEIR economy is booming. Wonder why?

[qwertypoiu4321]

Communism is basically coercion and slavery.

Everything should be Voluntary!!!! The OPPOSITE of communism!!!!

[davehutchinson67]

This little bit is spot on. I worked in the health industry and it's a friggin scam..period. As for the rest of em....the corporate whores...it's enough to make you sick.

[Finallythankyou]

What about the Government?

Are ya'll to pussy to say anything about who is actually doing this.

What this is is plan robbery.

Paying the government to do stupid shit... No offense but you're all scared of this government for real. Scared they'll hire some marine to snipe you walking in your house at night. Scared you type the wrong shit have it sent to some computer in Va. get put on a list.

True or not. You know you think about that shit. If not you're just stupid. No offense.

[tonyotag]

all systems can be and will be infiltrated by the enemy. time is of the essence. keep up the voice and make it more visable to the govvt. [I am not talking about violence]

[allords1]

Spot on.

[nomoreserfs]

Corporate Communism is Fascism. Why are we so afraid to use that word in America?

[finefilth]

@nomoreserfs

communism has never existed

fascism rules the world

[WEREFEAT]

Democracy is indispensable to socialism. V.I. Lenin

Democracy is the road to socialism. Karl Marx

The goal of socialism is communism. V.I. Lenin

The Western World is in transition. Somewhere between a Republic as described in the Constitution, and Communism. So we see other forms, like Corporatism, for example. Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito were 'fascists" and battled with the Communists. England and the US were Communist allies in WWII. Go figure.

[kolkrabe19]

@WEREFEAT : You imply that there is still something left of the Republic, as described in the Constitution. Could you elaborate a little ?

[rsaathoff]

The definition the merger of corporations and government is called Fascism. Do you remember who Mussolini & Hitler are? Call it what it really is.

[MrLastCrusader]

It's called National Socialism, duh.

[cdimmm]

There called zionists, the creators of all "ism"

[finefilth]

corporate fascist parasitism is the correct term

[ChicagoJoe57]

I have always maintained that globalists are communists.

[blkweb80]

I wouldn't put all my trust in the MSM, even though they speak truth at times. This could be another one of those instances to regain your trust and then pull a 'strawman' in the future so you don't debate or question what they may present in the future.

[blkweb80]

@blkweb80 Also kind of funny when a media outlet that is owned by the corporate entity, General Electric, is talking about corporate communism.

[shortywarn]

two words,,,, ron paul

william black for treasurer,,,, geithner should already be in jail,,, probably next to bernanke's cell,,,,,

[kolkrabe19]

@shortywarn : Why Ron Paul ?

[shortywarn]

because it all boils down to fiat money

if you deposit 10 bucks in a bank,,, they can now make a $100 loan,,, fractional reserve banking. Banks borrowed at zero or 1% interest,,,, and actually sometimes negative .5%,, that's crazy,,,, then they loan it out at 6-7 % or 30 % credit cards..

[shortywarn]

but it all starts with the fed printing money out of thin air,,,, which funds war,, wasteful gov't spending, the military/ind. complex,,,, and causes inflation which is a hidden tax on us all

a dollar from 1913, start of the fed is now worth 13 cents!!!!

[kolkrabe19]

@shortywarn Are you saying RP wants to abolish fiat money ?

[Joyness333]

MSNBC is my News Channel of choice!

[vrghiks]

The blind world sees everyone as fanatical!

[HomoLibero]

in communism laziness is not rewarded but work,contrariwise in fascist-capitalism what we have today big lazy leaches on the top of the corporations are rewarded with the tax payer's money

[HomoLibero]

i don't think this is communism,but it would be nice if we headed for the communism though,this what is going on is pure fascism,let's not forget that socialism can take many forms and one of them is national-socialism or nazism,in real communism companies are collectivized and belong to the workers not elite parazies

[clearsky24]

This guy is fantastic, and if you think this is partisan... you need to wake up.

Republicans and Democrats have both sold us down the river for Insurance, Oil, Energy, Banks and medical services.... and above all wars.

We don't need this... we need to get control back. Capitalism works, cronie capitalism and oligarchies do not.

[Deckinickinic]

bad companies should fail. Well thought out companies should rise. not the other way around. this is whats messed up with OUR CONGRESSIONAL representatives that YOU have VOTED for.

READ THE CONSTITUTION. homework assignment.

[TheAntiAuthoritarian]

Wow Dylan, you don't even know what communism means? Laziness is only rewarded with capitalism. State communism is counter-theft. Just stealing back what has already been stolen from the working class by the elites.

"Corporate communism" is bullshit. What he is describing is corporatism, a branch of capitalism.

[ChichiriMuyo]

This guy needs to learn what the word communism means. A more accurate way to convey what's going on? Oligarchy. That's the word we use when power rest with the elite. Communism is when the power rests with the people.

[Smartassawhip]

The PUBLIC OPTION is still very much on the table and still within our reach. Now is the time to be as active as you possibly can. In the comment section of my profile I have several resources that will help you get started including phone numbers, petitions and so much more. This profile is a community activist project that has a wide variety of information. Thanks.

[PatriotReport]

Otherwise known as: Corporatocracy.

[st4ticblu3]

Is this guy a FOX reporter that walked into the wrong studio? :p

[WhitneyGetz]

This is not new; see 19th century for further details.

[daniel987878]

This host is switched on. Very refreshing to see.

[silentthreat1739]

i think its more corporate socialism. since there is still private property

[Mastikator]

"since there is still private property"

barely.

[sungmee45]

We need to product our own and sell them, instead of purchasing so many things from other nation....We need to learn to quit using our credit cards, and quit spending as if the days will never end...America need to awaken and take back our liberty..unless everyone like being control by our government...sad day in the America...

[oldtownkid]

The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it comes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group.

Franklin D Roosevelt

[curmosc]

It's good to see some classic FDR Democrats who get the point here.

[mayhem1226]

finally a little truth on corporate media.....maybe this is the start of the media breakdown predicted by the web bot project..........corp comm is actually facism.

[sniper6081]

Actually, the proper term is "corporatism." However, corporate communism is basically the term's definition.

[OutlawTomFantastic]

We need to get back to free markets in EVERYTHING. First step is to get rid of the Federal Reserve. The USAs best years were when we didn't have a Federal Reserve.

[oldtownkid]

You're wrong about our country's best years. Our country's golden age was probably during the new deal years, when we became number 1 in education, industries thriving, no financial crises from FDR to Eisenhower (then Nixon started messing around). Wilson is probably the worst president in our history because of his legacy in monetary system and foreign policy but our country was a place very sad for many groups of people.

[sungmee45]

WAKE UP!..THIS NATION IS BEING TAKEN OVER BY SMALL, CORP ELITE DUMMEY...MILITARY SOLIDIERS ARE ON OUR STREET, KIDS ARE BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM THEIR PARENTS, PEOPLE ARE OUT OF JOB, AND YOU SAY, WE ARE IN A GOLDEN YEAR!! WHAT IS A MATTER WITH YOU! PEOPLE ARE DYING FROM THIS STUPIT FLU SHOT AND SWINE VACCINE. THIS NATION IS NOT NUMBER ONE IN EDUCATION PERIOD...They do know, how to dum down our kids tho! WAKE UP!!!!

[17Spartacus76]

Actually, he's right, and there were several recessions between FDR and Nixon. You can find them all on NBER.

[oldtownkid]

There might have been some ups and downs, which is only normal, but nothing compared to these last cycles since the 1970's. The Reagan economy = cocaine everywhere + credit cards for everyone.

[17Spartacus76]

You recall that the 70's was a major crash as well, it was called stagflation. It was punishment for the Guns and Butter era of Johnson and Nixon. Iran-Contra was responsible for the crack-cocaine explosion. Check out Gary Webb for more on that little piece of history.

The point is that this is not a left/right issue so it makes no sense scapegoating Reagan. He talked a good talk, but when it came down to it he did very little in terms of actually restoring a free market, just like Bush.

[2tsaybow]

NO. We need to Regulate and Control Corporations. They are NOT people and should not have the rights of people.

Markets are a construct. They would not exist with out us.

Take a business class.

We were poisoned by corporations, enslaved by corporations, and killed by corporations before there was a Federal Reserve and before the was a Fair Labor Standards Act.

Take a history class.

[2tsaybow]

In the good old USA as soon as Bush was elected the monopoly lawsuit was dropped and G.Bush ordered ALL of the department in the Federal Government to drop what they were using and convert to Microsoft Office.

I know this is true because I offer classes to government agencies and Native American Tribes.

I promise the lawsuit that the US had against Microsoft was dropped in 2001. Only the European Union has stuck to their guns with Microsoft. The most predatory corporation in computing.

[17Spartacus76]

Unions are also exempt from the Sherman Act.

[2tsaybow]

The Sherman Act has not been enforced since the Regan Administration.

Union participation in this country has fallen below 10%. Regan also assisted with this as well.

[17Spartacus76]

If that's true, then what happened to Microsoft? An anti-trust case may be filed against IBM soon as well.

Make no mistake, it's still in use. Union participation is dropping because unions are becoming increasingly irrelevant to workers and they're doing more harm than good.

[entwisenva]

the fruit is just rotting away from the new seed. in fact it is in the process of falling away...

[curmosc]

Corporate Communism is an oxymoron since communism is supposed to be democratic. It's the "Corporate Fascist State". The mussolini form.

[curmosc]

Wrong. It's big government by the banks and for the banks. It's Corporate and State power combined is Fascism. The reason the corporate media is refering to it as communism, is so that people fall back toward the right-wing which actually has the potential to be even worse. They're trying to protect Obama's Demogogy. This illusion of Obama even being a democrat is garbage.

[Troycassa]

It's Mussolini's definition of Fascism, actually.

[MS1719ms]

This is pretty good, coming from  managed, manipulated,media, MMM (Corporate Communism)

[ronheri]

It's going to take a second Revolution to take back our Republic from these Communisr/Fascist corporate criminals. This will get very ugly.

[davehutchinson67]

@ronheri If you follow C Span...and read..you will see that the President has been trying and has succeeded in getting some regulation passed for these thugs. Finally...The President is trying to help the working person.

[lilhavanaboys]

@ronheri Fascism and Communism are two totally different ideas. Communism is a stateless system. Fascism is corporate powered Government power house. No Government VS Total Government... Yeah they MUST be the same right? Give me a break. The word this guy is usning already exsited and it is called State CAPITALISM!

[truefictions]

The only people who do not complain about taxes they pay in the present times are those who are getting much more from the government then what they pay in to the system. In other words..

The blood sucking parasites.

Peace

5 stars

[davehutchinson67]

@truefictions Another typical fox news watcher. Yeah..it's the poor fucking us right? It's people on food stamps..not the fat cats on wall streets, not the insurance companies, not the rx companies...come on...are you right wingers ever going to vot your interest or keep drinking the kool aid.

[truefictions]

@davehutchinson67

Every "evil" entity you mentioned has their finger in the pie and is taking advantage of the special privileges the "peoples government" has decided to afford them. A government with less power, levels the playing field and makes it easier for "better corporations" to take their place and have the exemplary behavior you would like them to have. Start voting with your wallet and don't expect your "leaders" to solve the problems you worry about.

Peace

[sonofaglitch2]

Corporate communism/socialism IS fascism. I'm certain Dylan Ratigan is aware of the distinction, but I would not at all be surprised to learn that the show's producer(s) at MSNBC refusing to greenlight a segment with such bold language.

America is just the victim of a slow, fascist coup in all elements of society, economy, culture. The only missing piece is the zealous nationalistic/statist imagery typically associated with such movements.

Then again, who said the coup d'etat was finished?

[helltrackrider]

wonder why this guy isnt complaining about another system that "takes resources" from one group of citizenry and redistributes those to another group...???

hmmmm???

oh yeah!!!

The US Government..so, by his thought logic...we are Communism!!!

YEAH!!!

[naliuj]

i thought he was

[Pvtjamesryan2]

I really sincerely wish that people would wake up and comprehend how inflation is an unfair tax on the working class.

It's just overwhelming. There are people that work day in and day out. Normal hard-working people. They work everyday for $10 an hour or less. These people can hardly afford to go grocery shopping anymore.

I'm afraid that the United States is going backwards. We're almost turning into a feudal system in terms of fiscal income. There will be very wealthy and very poor people.

[StanRather]

Almost turning? We've turned, Jack.

[Pvtjamesryan2]

The names Ryan, not Jack. =P
