Ron Paul on NBC: U.S. Moving Toward "Soft Fascism"

[pbuttandjam]

He's calling out corporatism, but he wants to put everything the government does into private hands.

[Pooternackle5]

Ron Paul's economic ideology always leads to fascism. Its a social Darwinist economic belief system, abolishing the minimum wage and whatnot... Only the strong, intelligent, etc etc will survive.

It happened in Italy. It happened in Spain. It happened in Germany. And it all began with ultra capitalist, anti-worker, social Darwinist demagoguery. I don't think Ron Paul understands this - I'm not going to call him a fascist... just misguided and naive.

[wingedlightning]

Ironic how Tim Russert had a heartache and died while in the mist of being a witness in the 9-11 investigations of the goings on in the White House.

Coincidence.... no way~!

[eyesontheplanet]

Ron Paul is brilliant.

[farneyblakeley]

Paul trying to get his message about corporate fascism across on a corporate network, at least Russert who is missed didn't cut him off

[coopmuch56]

Only republican I would ever vote for

[tankman1962]

The outside world will have a more positive view of america if this man is elected president, he is patriotic, He would be good for our world, wish we had someone like him in the UK

[BatusaiJack]

If Ron Paul had a bit more charm and charisma maybe then he'd win. The Presidential election is ultimately a popularity contest.

[ModernPlague]

@BatusaiJack

Yeah, the Presidential election is a popularity contest, but not a contest decided by the majority of the population----it's a contest to see who is the most popular with Corporations, who is the most popular with the Israeli government, who is the most popular with the supra-governmental power-player Elitists.

Electronic voting machines (with ZERO paper trails!!!) are part of the fascist picture, now the populace can be "guided" that much more. 

Obama = Bush's 3rd term

[herodotus53]

I wish YouTube had a "love" button, just for this video and this man. If there were more Republicans like Ron Paul in Congress, their party might be able to count on getting my vote sometime within the next century.

[seysanmar]

Why the fuck is this not the president of the U.S.A.?

[dazzagazza6969]

Google Naomi Wolf 'Fascist America, in 10 easy steps'. Wikileaks:-Julian Assange case is number 9.

[rlathbury]

The originator of that quote was Professor Harold E. Luccock of Yale Divinity School, not SInclair Lewis. He phrased the idea much more mildly: "When and if fascism ever comes to America it will not be labeled 'Made in Germany'; it will not be marked with a swastika; it will not even be called fascism; it will be called, of course, 'Americanism.'" This from _The New York Times,_ 12 September 1938, page 15. Others picked up on this. It then was attributed to Lewis. Writers outlast politicians.

[Antiks72]

We're already at Oligarchial fascism, Ron. 

[20nothing]

It's funny how America has a misunderstanding about socialism with the rest of the world. You see, they see it as absolute evil and confuse it with Soviet-style communism.

[bobsyrunkl]

One of the few true conservatives.

[LibertyJedi]

We have an economic socialist fascist imperialism. The state has a gun to everyone's head to take your property (fruit of labor) because you are a slave & slaves have no property rights. If you resist - u are shot or you get dragged to a cage where u will be raped. Finance reform answer? = u can not stop the pigs from eating at the trough, pigs do what pigs do best.  To argue otherwise = some agenda to get power of the gun in the room that no one sees but everyone knows is there.

[johnrcoben]

Socialist fascist imperialism? Are you retarded?

[LibertyJedi]

All forms of Interventionalism have at it the heart control of the individual, call it what you may. Why not educate your self and decide? without the ideas planted in your head, that are controlling you? Mises Rules! No Not retarded, just enlightened :-) You should try, you may like it.

[johnrcoben]

Educate myself? rofl I'm a Socialist. Do you know what socialism is? It is strongly opposed to fascism and imperialism...

[LibertyJedi]

Go Ron Paul Go!

It's economic socialist fascism with a good touch of imperialism :(

But what do I know I'm only the slave that the state has a gun to my head to be... to be and only to be a slave in America. I pay my tax because the state will drag me to a cage where I'll be raped if I don't be a 'good' slave for my masters here in America.

[fixdeluxe1]

I'm left-wing,but I do promote private ownership of weapons and a strong military.

George W. Bush was an idiot,he allowed private companies to run the show,and made sure only him and his friends get the best deal while everyone else suffers.

[imtc88]

Who is Ron Paul???

[melioped]

Google his name.

[imtc88]

What will I find :)

[LiveFreeOrDieNow]

Ron Paul to save us all!

[xcit]

Phuck in A !!!! As usual Ron Paul was right again, for christ sakes, how many times must we be told what is going on and how many times do the government and the media ignore these prophecies and they continue to come back and bite us in the ass. Say hello to fascism slaves this is not a free country and your troops are not fighting for your freedoms, only dumb ass TV watching fools would believe that.

[greatscott59]

Too bad Dr Paul is using the term "Soft Facism" or Corpratism. I do not believe the FEMA Camps will be very soft to anybody.

[myrelative]

you're not very hard on facts either, are you

[greatscott59]

Read the Patriot Act and then tell me I am not forthcomming on my facts. The Patriot Act authorizes and funds FEMA Camps for use for detaining Terrorists or influx of Illegal Aliens. Janet Naplitano with the DHS released a report claiming anybody who opposes abortion, has a Ron Pauyl bumper sticker, displays a Gadsen flag or opposes the Federal Reserve may be a domestic terrorist.

That right, do exactly as the Fed Govt tells you to, baaaaahhh, be good little sheep.

[myrelative]

there is all kinds of insane legislation (and breach thereof). obama thinks he can detain anyone indefinitely. that doesn't mean he is using that on you, does it?

so I suggest you come up with the location of a FEMA camp and the names of some detainees.

or concentrate on a real issue.

[IronAvtomat]

What I like about Ron Paul is his strong belief in non-intervention and laissez-faire economics. But, in this video, he seems to relate the "corporatism" aspect of Fascism to American big corporations/companies. That is not, in fact, what the Fascist idea of corporatism is. Look up fascist corporatism to learn more.

[veugeler72]

y hasnt this been commented on in 8 months?!?!?!

cause no1 really cares and that sucks. cause it's seem almost unstopable, i'm not ganna b able to do anything about it... im moving

[apacheslim]

come to australia

[wellingtonian]

find someone with Ron Pauls principles

and put him in Parliament

[shiroisan87]

wow. this guy is awesome. too bad he didn't get nominated cuz he doesn't suport the war.

[bobsandwich98]

no because he's an annoying fuck.

[Radwar99]

Yes of course, a politician who stands up for the people instead of the special interests & lobbyists is an annoying fuck. You truly are an idiot, bobsandwich98.

[kermitcintronsucks]

The police state conjoined with the social intervention and the military industrial complex and the police state complex.

[LunaCat59]

Wow...Ron Paul! He's definitely getting my vote.  He's sooooo right about what he's talking about here.

[cheater87]

The Christians want the United States to become a police state. To have religion take over and kill off any form of freedom.

[NullSpacio]

I agree with him here. Thank you for pointing this out.

[cindy236]

Write in Ron Paul in Nov.

[t0nt01982]

Everyone should look up the 10 planks of the Communist Manifest. We have achieved all TEN. Ron Paul is right. Democrats have eroded the Constitution, and Big Government Republicans have sided with them. Ron Paul is our only hope. Libertarians Unite.

[rosekiller123]

I feel bad and sick from this. Unfortunatly he is right, we are all losing and have lost some of our god given rights. We can't consume weed if we want cause well lose our jobs or be jailed, we can still share our thoughts but it depends and only with a permit or the internet god knows for how long though, were allowed to live in this country but soon we need to show I.D. just like prisoners. we the middle and poor class are allowed to own things but are charged even after we finish paying. sad

[MustacheVerra]

He is right! And not so soft if you ask me. I mean a million dead Iraqi didn't think it was soft at all...:(

[Darusdei]

"Beware of the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry, [who] infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so"

[prede89]

he makes REALLY good points. America is a step away from Fascism. It's ganan be like Nazi Germany you walk down the street "where are your paperZ!!"(in a german accent of course) , no id around you neck they throw you in jail, speak out against government, go to jail, adress the problems of the coutnry, go to jail...

[FolkSingerGirl]

time to write in ron paul!

[Xandirfan]

I am going to do the same thing.

[boredanddumb]

cool...i guess am voting for Ron Paul

[OtherOne81]

I wish Paul would just admit it and say 'Huckabee is a Christofascist.'

[Xandirfan]

I just notice this. Tim Russert said this is what you said on CNN and shows a Fox News Video clip.

[edster612]

The truth is that it's all beyond Bush's control. We need to get rid of the Federal Reserve System NOW! That's who runs this country-The Fed.  Get rid of them and we can get rid of Homeland Security Agency, SPP, and scores of other programs that will turn us into prisoners.

Keep fighting the fight.

[edster612]

I've been a Libertarian for over a decade. I've done more than just what you listed. =)

But a great message for everyone: Don't just watch and listen. Get active. Do something. It's NOT beyond your control. Talk about your views, show people the "man behind the curtain" and expect results.

[MotoRooter]

Ron Paul has brilliant, beautiful mind!

Tim Russert is an ASSHOLE! Typical corporate media zombie!

[oz22verizon]

russert is a prick

[edster612]

Ron Paul makes sense.

[EnoDude]

I like Ron Paul. He seem to be honest. that is rare. I like the fact that he is the only one talking about what we see on a daily basis, FASCISM !!

WE NEED RON PAUL IN THE WHITE HOUSE, TO REPLACE HITLER, OOPS I MEAN BUSH. SORRY THE POLICIES ARE SO ALIKE THAT I OFTEN CONFUSE THE NAMES

[freighttrain777]

Ron Paul the only man that speaks the TRUTH!

[EnoDude]

Dont forget the Central Bank

[zaxan]

LOL

the hole world is getting butt fucked right now. we have to wake up the masses OR ELSE

[truthtrekker]

Ron Paul is there for people who know they are getting fukked but don't know it's because they are a debt slave and legally have no rights

Why not take Marc Stevens' World Shortest political Quiz and see how smart you really are??

watch?v=SpijeYpd6xo

[iTellYouNoLie]

once the democrats move in its shifting from fascism to socialism, same thing, just another label.

Write in Ron Paul!

[taterfrog]

In 1933 the Nazis staged a fire at the Reichstag and that was their 9/11 - their excuse to take over and move toward a dictatorial system. It was insidious and it was gradual. But, there were good people who stood by or were cowed and did not have a clue of how to react. Where are we? Where is our sense of outrage? Why do we not have anyone in the streets? The media is feeding you pap and we are all quite content. Folks it is 1933 all over again and your time is running out !!!

[johndownunder]

Ron Paul, Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich are all aware of the Military Industrial Complex, the Medical Industrial Complex and Bankers influencing and controling the US Government.They see clearly that fascisim is emerging in government rule of the people.Hundreds of Millions of Americans need to act in Novembers Election to stop and candidate who supports that agenda.Freedoms lost or degraded will be to the detriment of the lives of every American Patriot.

[danae53]

"Wrapped in a flag, carrying a cross." Hmmm... the congressman couldn't be more correct. Patriotism is the tool used to direct social emotions in support of an agenda, regardless of the truth. And the cross? Well considering that the Vatican is the silent partner in the Crown Temple Banksters hold of the US, that cross would be prominent now, wouldn't it?

[johndownunder]

YOU ARE 100 % CORRECT.

[TOAFN]

2800 views? Unbelievable. People should make it their day job to spread this movie. I CAN"T BELIEVE IT. Americans are sleeping?

[Rateman10]

If their not seeking the truth they don't want

to here it. Sad but true.

[capelipl]

democracy is dead in america -voting is as farcical and meaningless as a banana republic , the players in this are waiting for a hidden pronouncment from our real rulers who will install the most believeable comprimise between the people will and the fascist agenda, meanwhile the voters will eat up the theatre while the politician charade participants play along & wait for the decision of the corporomilitary fascists of the former american republic

[robyyo]

1984

[beachfrontal]

I'm british, and i agree if i was american i would vote for him too, take back your country from the the industrialists, and lobbists, before it's too late , on the outside looking in, what hope is there for democracy when you loose an elaection, and declare yourself the winner . IT HAPPENED.

[pyoon]

Your country is run by industrialists and lobbyists as well. The Bank of England and the Federal Reserve are interconnected.

[mcdenyer]

ron paul for small government!

[stemcellfilms]

illuminati is coming after ron paul, we need to send money bombs at him, but most importantly we should all be making videos. all the writers are on strike, we are the media right now, Ron Paul could use the air time while people are listening to us instead of fox.

[junemyer]

Well at least one of these puppet candidates speaks about the real world! But "Soft Fascism" depends on wich end of the stick you stand. Doesnt feel so soft if you happen to be born or pplaced in the wrong corner of our society

[empty00eyesgmail]

Ron Paul is the ONLY elephant in the room.

[snagillim]

all i have to say is FUCK YES!

[mmhagler]

Ron Paul is a breath of fresh air in our coprporate media controlled campaign. He is the only candidate on the Republican side that is talking about the encroachment of the military-industrial complex and blowback. As a whole, Americans continue to ignore those issues at our own peril. Thank you for having the courage to speak out, Ron Paul!

[decieveusnot9]

When Ron Paul explains the truth about "fascism" to Tim Russert, sad to say he is preaching to the choir. Tim Russert is a parrot for the NWO, I'm sure, he's been paid well. When the final shoe drops, Tim's relatives, will be forced to change their name.

[angel2901]

Damn hes right! If I were an American I would vote for him!

[melioped]

I will give mine and your vote in one for me and you...Thanks for your nice comment!

[asromab3]

People need to look up the word Fascism and what it means instead of assuming that all Fascism is an extension of what Hitler beliefs were.

[eekdog2005]

Freedom to fascism is worth a watch. You'll find that on that day, Dec 23rd 1913, america was hijacked by the big banking cartels. "Controlling our currency, receiving our public moneys, and holding thousands of our citizens in dependence would be more formidable and dangerous than a military power of the enemy." ANDREW JACKSON

[capelipl]

fascism is already here and ron paul risks life and family to expose internal threats

,a great risk from a rare politician of courage and integrity

[SatwaMan]

GO RON PAUL !

He disarms them all with his honesty, intelligence, patriotism and compassion for all people.

This will never end. This is the future.

THANK YOU Dr. Paul !

[VoteYourConsience]

Watch my video EXPOSING BILL KRISTOL THE SCUMBAG who called Ron Paul Anti-American !!!

just by clicking my name!

Kristol who never served in the US army and works for foreign Israeli secret organizations has the nerve to call a Vietnam veteran and a 10-term US congressman anti-American

[doofuss2]

Who is this ronpaul you spam of?

[jrmclean7]

fascism is such a goofy and trendy term. paul will never win the presidency.

[capelipl]

[jrmclean7]

i see that he has some intelligent supporters with great vocabulary. you guys are kidding yourselves, you are wasting your time, money and vote. he is not even on the radar on any of the polls and ross perot has already proven that money can't get you the nomination.

[markr1126]

freedom to fascism can be seen at show the law.cooom

[VoteYourConsience]

WATCH this video & know part of the reason why Ron Paul said stop Aid to Israel & everyone:

GET INFORMED !!!

youtube (dot) com /watch?v=ntf0CSotj_A

[SJSR45]

the Libertarian-Internets party will defeat the NeoFascist-Corporations party

[rpravak]

Soft fascism? "Neocon" is not an accurate description for this gang. They are neither "new" nor "conservative". We should better call them what they are, neofascists.

[kprice333]

Who the hell is this man Ron Paul and why is he trying to save my country? Jerk!!!

[9duhjb9]

He is the most intelligent and honest man running for president of your country. He is trying to save your country because he cares about America and those who live here. He is a man in the know. How did you happen to "stumble" upon this video anyway? Lucky you. Now you are one of the enlightened...

don't blow it with a ridiculous response.

[capelipl]

kprice333 go back to your homoerotic sites and leave the adults alone

[chipvogel]

please watch the video freedom to fascism

[cmac20]

I believe Dr. Paul did well with this. Even thought the media will take this and spin it against him.
