I just wanted to thank person that uploaded this video. I'm a sociology student and this really helped me conceptualize the visual manipulation of "what" and "who" is SUPPOSEDLY working class/middle class. It is nice to see the intertwining matrix of domination as it is not as it should be. Thanks again.

[onedumbskank]

god, there are a lot of assholes posting comments on this video. If you are all so satisfied with our system then why bother watching. As they say, "strong words = weak cause

@onedumbskank

Not sure about everyone else but I know I have to watch for a school assignment.

[shananagans5]

Poverty is everyones fault but the poor. Real nice. LOL I love it when people put a ton of energy into whining about being poor but no energy into getting out of poverty.

[thejakeman16]

Who are you talking about? the people in this video?

[shananagans5]

I am talking about poor people that whine and try to blame everyone but themselves for being poor. It is not like it is hard to get out of poverty in this country. You just have to put some effort into life.

[Adraell]

zzzzzzzz....

[TheWilliamcale]

thank god for the police

[bifutake]

please stop spamming

[TheWilliamcale]

do you know what you are?

a typical leftist who can not tolerate dissent because you are too stupid to defend wht you believe, say what you have to say, no one is stopping you

but do NOT censor rational center right dissent

[bifutake]

yeah, by calmly asking you not to spam

[TheWilliamcale]

explain why my comments are spam

i dont get it seriously

[bifutake]

"thank god for the police"

rewind 2:58-3:15

either you didn't understand it, or you chose to ignore the argument(s)

[TheWilliamcale]

you obviously have never lived near an american housing project, i have

thank god thank god for the police

'Sé do bheatha, a bhean ba léanmhar,

Do b' é ár gcreach tú bheith i ngéibheann,

[bifutake]

the thing is that capitalist ideology relies on personal experience which it presents to the world as an adequate replacement for a systematic approach. it's a myth, just like smith's 'invisible hand'.

btw. what does an irish pirate song got to do with any of this?

[TheWilliamcale]

my god your a socialist how boring and pathetic

take a course in economics

and dont speak of Gráinne Ní Mháille (c. 1530 c. 1603), also known as Granuaile or Gráinne Mhaol, sometimes known in English as Grace O'Malley with such disreaspect bloody heathen

[bifutake]

my bad, you're not a spammer, you're a troll

[TheWilliamcale]

well duh

but at least a troll knows socialism

is the refuge of semi literate malcontents

socialism is the ideology of the resentful loser in society who cant or more often wont put forth the effort to make it in the

free market

[bifutake]

correction, troll thinks he knows what socialism and capitalist 'free market' are

[TheWilliamcale]

I don't claim to be an expert

and a lot of economics confuses me

but i dare say i know more than you do

okay? would you like me to proove it?

[bifutake]

are you going to cite friedman now? stop sending me private messages please

[TheWilliamcale]

you cant defend your position can you?

[bifutake]

yeah, that must be it

[TheWilliamcale]

well why dont you try?

[bifutake]

remind me, what argument have you made so far?

[TheWilliamcale]

socialism has never worked

and only a fool persists in advocating a delusion

and while your at it

define socialism

[bifutake]

you're the one that started making noise about socialism and completely ignored what i actually said (regarding a systematic approach).

"lemme hear that dirty word - socialism!"

[TheWilliamcale]

so you are unwilling to even define what socialism means to you?-Connotation is a subjective cultural and/or emotional coloration in addition to the explicit or denotative meaning of any specific word or phrase in a language, i.e. emotional association with a word.

[bifutake]

though i've never said i was a socialist, i'm very sympathetic to the ideas of social equality and direct democracy, which i could identify with some of its fundamental principles. but i'm very unwilling to discuss it further with a person who advocates neoliberal capitalist values, even today when they've been discredited beyond any doubt. you are, my friend, what "we socialists" call, a reactionary. look it up on wikipedia. now if you'll excuse me, i have more important things to do

[TheWilliamcale]

you cant articultae what you are,

and you think free market economics has been discredited?!

why? you have no sense of history do you? capitalism is cyclical there have always been recessions and boom and bust cycles, you really do need to study economics, i'm going to send you some videos on the indian economy and i want you to watch them, they explain

why the best way to eliminate poverty IS the free market.

[Pentazoid111]

We have not lived in an unfettered capitalist society! All economic problems that exist in this country are due to government policies that have been imposed on our economy. The federal reserve plays a big role in driving up the prices of goods and services due to inflation .

[jimmyleg5]

@Pentazoid111 Go suck Ron Paul's dick.



[unsung1984]

@TheWilliamcale Socialism has never been attempted authentically. Any time it has it has been destroyed from within or without by threatened power. If you had any understanding of what socialism is you wouldn't be attempting tired and antiquated "critiques"

[unsung1984]

@TheWilliamcale I also see that in your critiques you have no addressed any of the social issues addressed in this film and have again only thrown out tired critiques against socialism. So sad.
