We are so far removed from the Republic our Founders created, I shudder to think what lies ahead. Here's the usual path; 1. Lofty Socialism 2. Militant Marxism or Fascism 3. Genocide to resisters. 4. Total submission to despots. We're not too far away from step 2. Don't take welfare from your governments- City, County, State & Federal - the price is your freedom! Don't be a fool!
It's amazing that people in this country still believe we live in a democracy, well maybe it's not - all you hear on Fox and MSNBC is Democracy, Democracy... when are people going to wake up?
watch jesse ventura's conspiracy theory about the bilderbergs. If true, it makes total sense. For years i have been saying that some of the vaccines they give our children are doing more harm than good. The only common link in autistism is the vaccines(of course predisposition is a factor im sure) but the few elite people from who knows where are wanting us to go to a new world order. Its up to us, the people, to protect our country & control the governmental powers that be VOTE!!!
It is not so much the 'Rich' as it is the form of Government we are now experiencing! In fact there are more so-called rich people on the left than on the right...It is not right when you have the government and it's agencies interfering into our lives, telling us what to eat, Christians are frowned upon, while Muslims are allowed to pray in school...and to @jlglex from Texas is very wrong, I too am a Texan and with the new school book meetings in Austin, Jefferson will be taught again.
Dosen't matter what you say, this video is on the mark and makes total sense. People like whotookmypiewtf, BellaBarron, and goldenfrothystream are either to stupid to understand this video or they are shills that go around trying to degrade anything that might educate the masses to waking up, and notice the ones trying to discredit only shout things like, "this video is so inaccurate.", but offer no evidence to support thier claims. That my friends is typical propaganda.
@BobbaLinda The notion that far-right politics means no government and far-left politics include total government is completely false.The terms "left" and "right" appeared during the French Revolution of 1789 when members of the National Assembly divided into supporters of the king to the president's right (an authoritarian monarchy) and supporters of the revolution to his left. So its not the way I see it, it is the way it is.
@BobbaLinda This video states that fascism is to the extreme left, because it is total government, but it is false. The origin of the left-right terms date back to the French National Assembly in 1789, supporters of the King and the Monarchy sat to the right, in favor of the extreme inequality, and supporters of the revolution sat to the left, in favor of a breaking down the extreme inequalities. The economics of Fascism promote extreme inequalities, believing it is good for the economy.
@whotookmypiewtf Fascists believed that the existence of inequality and separate social classes was beneficial, just like the view of conservatives and the right-wing.
@whotookmypiewtf I also resent this post ! ! ! How do you know what's in my heart? No sane person, right or left, believes that inequality and separate social classes is beneficial. Capitalism is the only system of government that allows you to be or do anything you want. Name me one socialist, marxist, facist, or communist country where an individual has the same freedom and choices.
@BobbaLinda Yes it does state that fascism is total government, and that is true, but if you read what i originally said, extreme left wing politics doesn't have to mean total government, and extreme right wing politics doesnt have to mean no government. You can have a right wing government that is very socially conservative, enforcing more oppressive laws, therefore plenty of government. and i don't believe in socialism or communism, i just believe in a capitalist society with someredistribion
@whotookmypiewtf you say you believe in capitalism with some redistribution. Well that's exactly what we have already. But who's to say how much is enough redistribution? We're on a very slippery slope to socialism and total government.
@whotookmypiewtf This video is not addressing the differences between modern day right & left OR economics. It is an overly simplistic explanation of the differences between the forms of government. All the examples of Facist governments I can think of were TOTAL government just as the video stated. Your explanation implies that so-called rightwingers today favor "extreme inequality" which I resent. The economics of Marxism & Communism also promote extreme inequalities. Who cares?!
@BobbaLinda well it is true that EXTREME right wingers believe that inequality is beneficial to society. Under pure capitalism and laissez faire economics there is no redistribution of wealth and no government regulations to stop corporations from taking advantage of consumers, and without any forms of redistribution, very few get a vast amount of the worlds wealth, while the majority suffers poverty. The more to the right you are, the more you favor vast inequality.
This is an excellent and accurate video from my perspective. Who is Dr. Avrington? I would like to know his/her credentials. On Amazon, there is a Dr. Avrington who is from Canada. Don't know if they're one and the same.

I am always correcting people on this point. No Democracy has ever lasted more than 200 years. All true democracies voted themselves into poverty and out of existence. As for the Elite who "run" the country, the Federal reserve must be removed in order for our country to run the way its supposed too. We are not supposed to be at the whim of a "few" Elite billionaires from around the world. Wake up America, participate, educate yourself (cause our schools don't) and be a responsible citizen.
The elite have already run this country since the times of Preston Bush. The masons pull the strings in this country, and we're screwed if this crap continues!
Beneath this lies a huge propagandistic video. (two choices indeed!!). A nation governed by the LAW, only works if the law is followed. Today the law that protects the people is ignored. We are truly governed by big Business.
For those of you that believe we(America) have two major parties you are wrong. The Republicans and Democrats may differ on some issues but the ones that really matter they are exactly the same. The only true choice in a election is the person who has less money less and because of this most of you do not realize who the best choice is.
Fantastic - I firmly believe America is headed down the same path the Romans were so AMERICA - STAND UP and TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK FROM OBAMA!! He wants to see the same thing happen to America and the Romans. WAKE UP AMERICA!!
@MrSammo1 You couldn't be speaking of the "ultra rich" George Soros because he's a lefty like you, so it's just all the rich people in general that you hate, right?

Whether anyone likes it or not, the supressed fact about the Founding Fathers is that most of them were Christians & based our laws on the Bible, which created an unbreakable Union of unity among the Patriots, and even the People. One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all. Read the quotes of the Founding Fathers and Christianity, google that, and you will be shocked to learn that Jesus Christ was the binding tie of unity in early America, which is no longer the case.
@gstuart01 EXACTLY, and that's why the progressives have been trying to remove the Constitution and Founding Fathers from our textbooks and memories for over 100 years. If you don't know your history, you are doomed to repeat it.
@BobbaLinda progressives arent trying to remove the constitution and the founding fathers from our textbooks thats ridiculous. + if it werent for progressives and the New Deal, there would be little to no middle class.
@BobbaLinda Actually, here in Texas, it is the "conservative" Christians who have successfully removed Thomas Jefferson from the school curriculum, replacing him with Calvin, an obscure religious leader whom Thomas Jefferson labelled as a demonist!!
"Conservative" means something different to some Christian groups, than it means to Constitutional Conservatives.
Yeah this video has some flaws like, when you vote a new president it requires a majority... instantly forcing your government into a form of democracy, so a Republic doesnt exist... right?
Do not pretend to know anything about what the ancient Greeks. The direct democracy of Athens was an abject failure. Thucydides makes that quite clear. Read the Melian Debate. Maybe then you won't sound like an idiot when you open your mouth.
Democracy, according to the Greeks, is not just one thing. It has flavors. Direct Democracy where people decide directly or Indirect Democracy that we have today, where a bunch of politicians decide on behalf of the people. Greeks never liked the second, which in a Republic is bound to lead to corruption.
Direct Democracy is the only true form of Government, and guess what, it now is possible because of technology.
this video is very wrong! it explains political systems in a simplified manner. true politics are never simple. i live in a succesful democracy (officially a monarchy) the Netherlands. our multi-party system gives a much better representation of the the people than the two-party (i know there are more parties, but they never have a chance during elections)republican system of the USA ever could. there is no moderacy in the US, you're either for or against something, reallife is never that simple
comment space is limited, so i can't give an elaborate explanation. the Netherlands is a multi-party democracy, what's not to get there? officially it's a Monarchy, but the power of the queen is only ceremonial.
if it's intelligence you fear, you need to be very afraid of the MIGHTY indeed!
@MIGHTYcbu that's OK really we don't want a lengthy or elaborate explanation. Why is it that people in other countries feel almost compelled to criticize the United States? I don't care if you don't like our form of government. Stay where you are if you like it so much. Just leave us alone.
spoken like a true idiot, there is far more tolerance in the US than anywhere in Europe, all parties have a chance in the elections if they can sell the people
@MIGHTYcbu just because something is "explained in a simplified manner" does not make it "wrong", and besides you're confusing "politics" with "forms of government". Why is it that the educated (indoctrinated) idiots prefer lengthy diatribe!?!?
DIE DIE DIE already! the Constitution was written by a bunch of land hording, slave trading, Indian Killers! how can it be seen as anything pure in spirit? they were murdering thieves!
the republic started the vietnam war, the republic sent this country to Iraq, the republic put Hitler in power, the republics sent Millions of people to a hellish demise. you and your blessed republic are MURDERING THIEVES!
Come on oldhacks, you need to look deeper. Iraq is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and so was Vietnam and Korea. And the ruthless American banking institutions that helped finance WWI, WWII and Hitler, only derive their power to create obscene amounts of money out of thin air from the completely UNCONSTITUTIONAL Federal Reserve. The real "MURDERING THIEVES" are the same Washington/Wall St mafia (think bailouts) who are currently ripping us off blind. The makers of this excellent video fully understand this.
Hacks, Just a little over the top, don't you think? Yes they were deeply flawed men. They owned slaves (although they certainly knew the hypocrisy) and Madison did have his unfortunate remark about "protecting the opulence of the minority." But that was the world they inherited and the world they lived in. You obviously have no idea what a sea change the new nation represented. These men were the absolute radical liberals of their day. In that context, the Constitution was and is a miracle.
I'm ok with it because it's NOT the end of the Fucking WORLD!. it'll be over turned over time. so fucking what. gay people cant get married. Is that like the worst thing thats ever happened to this country? no its just a stupid event that is nothing more than symbolism of an issue thats being delt with.
so YES I'm totally fine with us having the Right to Pass LAWS! because sure we do stupid things but we also get shit like making chicken factory farms illegal and a BULLET TRAIN its freedom
@oldhacks grow up (like Wraith 23 said) but also wise up and do your own homework instead of believing everything our public schools have been teaching for the last 100 years since Woodrow Wilson and Progressives re-wrote history.
OK Hacks, so I assume you're OK with California's Proposition 8, in which, in a referendum (a direct vote), 52% of the people decided gay people do not have equal rights (in violation of the constitution, of course). But screw the constitution, right? The people have spoken. The majority rules. So there you have it. There's your "AWSOME" democracy in action.
Sorry, but the horse has already left the barn. And it happened in 1914 when we turned over the constitutional right of the government to print and issue money to the Federal Reserve and their banking cronies.
The terms "right-wing" and "left-wing" were first used during the French Revolution. The right-wing supporting preserving absolute monarchy, arisocratic priviledge and the Catholic church, while the left-wing supported creating a republic, supporting the common people and seperating church and state
Actually thats an over simplification, in the french revolution many in the right-wing supported a restricted constitutional monarchy with a strong parliament and the left-wing supported free market capitalism and a free republic.
Amazing eh?
There was a time when being on the left didnt mean to be a total socialist retard.
Libertarian socialists and anarcho-communists are just a self deluded bunch that believe that you can have liberty without private property or individual rights.
Not all anarchists are on the left, on the right you have anarcho-capitalists for example.
The problem with anarchism as conceived by the left is that you cant have liberty while you are a slave of the collective.
"Direct control" of resources means collective control which forfeits the liberty of the people.
Capitalism entails voluntary cooperation and the respect for private property.
The notion that anarchists are primarily on the left is a false notion deriving that many of them are infiltrated by socialist thinking.
I still don't see how monarchs or aristocrats could support free market capitalism since it would imply to renounce their power in favor of individual rights and limited government.
Who says they would? Right-wing wasn't always about capitalism and free markets. It was historiocally about protecting the wealth and power of monarchs and aristocracts.
Then you and I are using different meanings for the terms right-wing and left-wing.
When I say right-wing Im talking about classical liberalism, open free markets, individual liberty, libertarianism and the revolution of the citizens against the power of the totalitarian european monarchies.
Its generally accepted that the left-wing advocates for the power of the government and the control of society by the state.
So the self-evident truths in the declaration of independence were a myth?
And the constitution and the birth of the american republic with equal rights under the law was a myth?
There was no monarchy or aristocracy in America since 1776.
Remember the ideals of liberty of the french revolution and the french republic that the left-wing betrayed when they embraced socialism and the tyranny of the state.
Look up the Spainish Civil and see with made up the right-wing and who made up the left-wing. The anarchists (who were left-wing) wanted to create complete worker-self management.
Actually the spanish anarchists were in fact anarcho-syndicalists, Im not going to extend myself explaining their ideology here but whats important is that they were completely overwhelmed by the socialist ideology of their soviet friends.
Yes, but they took it in turns, to act as a sort of executive officer of the week. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting, by a simple majority, in the case of simply internal affairs...
Nobody's wrong here, but why argue about semantics? All these terms, "left," "right," etc., are highly fluid and subjective. As Chomsky says, "they've all come to take their opposite meaning," anyway. So who cares? It doesn't change the truth. To me, the video's perhaps proprietary system of correlating left and right to more and less gov't is the most useful I've seen. Does anyone really see an important difference between Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia?
@mariancv2 RIGHT wing LEFT wing -- who cares!?!?!?!?!? You are all muddying the waters and confusing each other because everyone has their own definition of right and left!!!! NO ONE CARES. This is just a simple little video that attempts to explain the different forms of government NOT all the political nuiances. Get over yourselves!
Socialists believe in the state controlling the capital and the means of production, they advocate for the abolition of private property.
The difference between private property and personal possessions is that private property is anything that you own and can be used to produce new capital. You can buy it, sell it or exchange it in a free market.
Personal possessions are only granted to you by the state temporarily and therefore can be taken away just as easily.

The principles of a free constitutional republic where the private property, individual rights, personal liberty and the life of all its citizens is respected and protected under the law is without a doubt the best form of government on this Earth.

You ignorant socialist imbecile, go to a library a read the "communist manifesto" and "the critic to the gotha program" by Marx before saying more stupid things.
"Scientific socialism" IS FOUNDED on the concept of a totalitarian state controlling society and denying the rights of the individual under collective slavery.
You dont even know what fascism is, it has NOTHING to do with capitalism.
The free-market is the concept of property and exchange of goods under voluntary terms.
The principles of a free constitutional republic where the private property, individual rights, personal liberty and the life of all its citizens is respected and protected under the law is without a doubt the best form of government on this Earth.
I agree with the statement that US is not a democracy. Even Noem Chomsky says this. The idea of "freedom for all" is nothing but a misnomer from the elite
There's a rightwing agenda in this video; it uses fallacies and deliberate disinformation to confuse people in their understanding of left and right. I believe it's linked to the new rise of fascism in our country which is definitely not related to 'socialism', as Fox 'news' lackies or this heavily propagandized video would have you believe.
I would also think that no one's abusing the vote function and would urge people not to, we enjoy seeing the idiocy from the right, you know, to a point.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Thats because you have been brainwashed by the socialist propaganda.
Both socialism and fascism fed on the despair of the people and their faith in a all powerful state.
A capitalist society with an open free market under a free constitutional republic that guaranties respect for the property, individual rights and liberty of all its citizens is DIAMETRICALLY opposed to the insane socialist dreams of state coercion and collective slavery of society under a totalitarian marxist state.
"If it were up to Republicans and other American Fascists, FDR would've been overthrown in a coup in 1934 and a Mussolini-style corporate government would've been put in place. Prescott Bush and Union Bank and others helped finance Hitler until 1942 when they were forced to stop, but never jailed. If their coup had succeeded, the Axis powers would have been unstoppable."

So gts1014 would you like to explain why you think this video is rubbish. I happen purely out of curiosity to have checked the facts on it and yes they are actually true and the events mentioned did happen and the definitions supplied are also reasionably accurate. Any fool knows that the definitions of "RIGHT WING" and "LEFT WING" are nonsense. There was no practically no difference between Joseph Stalin and Hitler yet they were described as left wing and right wing respectively.

Yes and there are both good teachers and bad teachers just like there are good plumbers and bad plumbers, so what do yuo think is wrong with this video. The definitions, the content or what ?
@BellaBaron Are you not aware that our textbooks have been re-written? The history that is taught today is not the same history I was taught as a child. Before you jump to the conclusion that this is nothing but "right wing crap" PLEASE educate yourself instead of swallowing the garbage you've been taught.
We've been unwittingly under an Oligarchy parading as a Democracy for decades now! When was the last time you ever heard of a President consistently referring to America as a Republic???
This video contains just enough truth to confuse the uneducated. The rest is made-up crap put out by the rightwing and aimed at people who only listen to AM radio repeating the same lies over and over again. This video is meant to disassociate the right-wing from Nazis and fascism - nothing could be further from the truth. Don't fall for this crap, check out political compass (dot) org and see how this video lies. Educate yourself.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well you should educate yourself because the political scholar John J Ray has long since exposed the fact that Fascism & Nazism were both Leftist ideologies. Obviously you are trying to disassociate the left from Nazism & Fascism despite the fact that they were entire creations OF the left. The main problem I have with this video is that it portrays Anarchism in a deceitful & negative light coz Anarchism is not chaos just the functional absence of hierarchical centralized government.

There are some serious flaws in that test. All of the questions ask how I feel about these issues and not what I feel the government's role should be. For example abortion. It doesn't matter if I feel it should be illegal or not. It matters what I feel about the mechanics of the laws that govern that issue.

Fairly educated so listen up. You are dumb. Sorry. You are unable to look outside the prism of your own liberal disposition. You're stuck there. You see everything that contradicts your view points as a right-wing conspiracy because it doesn't fit your politics. The video is saying that leftwing as well as rightwing groups encourage government intrusion. We understand that rightwing extremism is associated with fascism and leftwing extremism with communism. You are just as dumb as those AM folks
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
So which are you a Nazi or a Faschist then. Think you will find that both Communist under Stalin (left) and Naziism under Hitler (Right) were both total forms Governement. In Hitlers case he wanted a pure Aerian race, so he did away with 11,000,000 who were not pure. If that is not Government control I don't know what is and yet he is supposed to be right wing - hmmm
I don't think so. Stalin also labour camps similar to Hitlers concentration camps too - I cant see any difference between the two.
Great video. Especially the part about anarchy. Even in the form espoused by those who truly believe in it, it is transitory. It becomes used by others as a tool to enthrone their cronies. Even the republic which I favor, you have to fight to keep what you have (remember the first lines from this video).
Obviously its right a republic is they way to go so people can have their rights and its been proven its best out of four by history. However, not to say there is another form of government that could of been better and no one was able to discover it.
I saw this video in a marxist site full of morons, one of them said "if a republic is the rule of law as opposed to the rule of the mob, then who makes the laws?".... I think thats a misconception, the republic's constitution is the higher law of the country that guaranties respect for the property and rights of all their citizens and according to that principles all the other laws are created by representatives elected by the people who also must respect and honor the constitution.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow, that was an excellent video. I think people ought to more carefully consider what happens when you leave a group of people with no government... "Lord of the Flies" anyone? Or take a look at a school classroom with a substitute teacher...
We're already at the tyranny of the elite on some level. The seats in the US House of Representatives and the Senate are almost never competitive, no matter how low Congress's approval rating gets. How is that not some form of tyranny of the elite?
When does love factor all into this? What's with America's values being repeated by the very ones who double play on words like that to the public arenas$ What of humanity's values? We are at last hearing words such as principles coming alive & heard onto mindset. Thought processes has manipulated into fear mode with great success towards war! Thought thinking with best interests & cooperatively creating newer ideas opposite fear. Long denied of all humanity. Lessons learned is now choice!
This video reflects confusion as to anarchy. It repeats the old falsehood that anarchy means there is no law. False! It simply means no state. Law can be provided in a free market just like any other good or service. And, with the benefit of competition only those who provide justice well will be successful. Anarchy is the only "system" that doesn't rely on coercion to function. In all other systems freedom is denied as some people force other people to act contrary to their own values.
Anarchy would definetly test human morality. With no laws to tell you what to do, everything inside people would really start to show sooner or later. Although it usually leads to some shit head fuck leading other useful idiots, in pursuit of power, to enslave other people for an end he's too stupid, or corrupt, to grasp - much like our current dilemma.
Anarchy would be like hitting the reset button on society, and laws would eventually be written once a power took influence over others.
Technically, allowing others to provide justice is the definition of government. If there is still law, then someone will be forced to act contrary to their values. If not, then law does not truly exist. Your definition of anarchy is more democracy than anarchy. Anarchy does mean NO government.
Thank you. Its the legal monopoly on the use of force that characterizes government to which I am opposed. One can choose among competing dispute resolution organisations (DRO's) whereas under any type of state one is "coerced" to comply with its legal system. DRO's would compete in the marketplace like any business and charge for their services, including guaranteeing payment for damages. DRO's would not guarantee payment by non-paying debtors thus others would avoid contact with them.
He's totally backward in one regard. Anarchy does exist... and exist as a permanent state. No animal, other than man, has a government... thus, anarchy is the natural state. All government is therefore artificial... and by definition, temporary.
He's also just wrong on one count: Republics are not necessarily "law" driven... law comes out of it, often, but not inevitably. A republic is, more correctly, what is good for the group in SMALL SCALE.
Shades, I have to disagree, as I'm pretty sure the author intends to limit the discussion to mankind! In recorded history, anarchy has never existed as a permanent state. It's always been very transient. Anarchists like to say ALL government eventually trends towards tyranny. Unfortunately, I think that's largely true, mainly because they all suffer from the same defect. They're run by humans! But I still think a republic is our best try. Excellent video.
I think you might be missing chunks of history. For instance, the Shao-Lin? Many Native-American tribes? Heck, there are even examples in the United States Westward expansion. People, if left alone, don't really need government. They will tend not to murder one another whether or not there is a law against it. Government requires that there be criminals in order to justify its existence, and its own theft from the public. Thus, laws beget more laws.
Shades, Churchill said his education was like Swiss cheese. Very good, but too many holes. I could say the same. So, yes, I'm sure I am missing at least a few chunks of history. Shao-Lin?? But how do you define government? I'm sure even very small Native American tribes had leaders, and some kind of hierarchy, and ways of dealing with miscreants. Don't forget, even wolf packs have an alpha male. But I understand your thinking. "Laws beget more laws." Ain't that the truth?!!
A well documented timeline by the christians working for their kings. It has never changed. Always the fear measures to keep suffering. Directing the thoughts, words, & emotions of mankind. Divisional hatreds & fears all resulted. It is generationally maintained. We are so separate & withering & feigning fasades of happiness. We try! Revolution is in thought & feeling! Divisional issues serve to distract & break up bridges of swapping stories. Personal. Professional. We've become easy prey~~
i always thought republicans were for big government >< fooled again...voting ron paul! as a republican..

@BobbaLinda This video states that fascism is to the extreme left, because it is total government, but it is false. The origin of the left-right terms date back to the French National Assembly in 1789, supporters of the King and the Monarchy sat to the right, in favor of the extreme inequality, and supporters of the revolution sat to the left, in favor of a breaking down the extreme inequalities. The economics of Fascism promote extreme inequalities, believing it is good for the economy.

@whotookmypiewtf I also resent this post ! ! ! How do you know what's in my heart? No sane person, right or left, believes that inequality and separate social classes is beneficial. Capitalism is the only system of government that allows you to be or do anything you want. Name me one socialist, marxist, facist, or communist country where an individual has the same freedom and choices.

@BobbaLinda Yes it does state that fascism is total government, and that is true, but if you read what i originally said, extreme left wing politics doesn't have to mean total government, and extreme right wing politics doesnt have to mean no government. You can have a right wing government that is very socially conservative, enforcing more oppressive laws, therefore plenty of government. and i don't believe in socialism or communism, i just believe in a capitalist society with someredistribion

@whotookmypiewtf This video is not addressing the differences between modern day right & left OR economics. It is an overly simplistic explanation of the differences between the forms of government. All the examples of Facist governments I can think of were TOTAL government just as the video stated. Your explanation implies that so-called rightwingers today favor "extreme inequality" which I resent. The economics of Marxism & Communism also promote extreme inequalities. Who cares?!
BobbaLinda 1 year ago
@BobbaLinda well it is true that EXTREME right wingers believe that inequality is beneficial to society. Under pure capitalism and laissez faire economics there is no redistribution of wealth and no government regulations to stop corporations from taking advantage of consumers, and without any forms of redistribution, very few get a vast amount of the worlds wealth, while the majority suffers poverty. The more to the right you are, the more you favor vast inequality.

Whether anyone likes it or not, the supressed fact about the Founding Fathers is that most of them were Christians & based our laws on the Bible, which created an unbreakable Union of unity among the Patriots, and even the People. One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all. Read the quotes of the Founding Fathers and Christianity, google that, and you will be shocked to learn that Jesus Christ was the binding tie of unity in early America, which is no longer the case.

The terms "right-wing" and "left-wing" were first used during the French Revolution.

Libertarian socialists and anarcho-communists are just a self deluded bunch that believe that you can have liberty without private property or individual rights.
Not all anarchists are on the left, on the right you have anarcho-capitalists for example.
The problem with anarchism as conceived by the left is that you cant have liberty while you are a slave of the collective.
Wraith23 2 years ago
To the left-wing anarchists, direct control of resources by the people does entail liberty while capitalism entails social domance.
you can disagree but the fact is, anarchist have been a strong force on the left and monarchist and aristocrats have been on the right.
mariancv2 2 years ago
"Direct control" of resources means collective control which forfeits the liberty of the people.
Capitalism entails voluntary cooperation and the respect for private property.
The notion that anarchists are primarily on the left is a false notion deriving that many of them are infiltrated by socialist thinking.
I still don't see how monarchs or aristocrats could support free market capitalism since it would imply to renounce their power in favor of individual rights and limited government.
Wraith23 2 years ago
Who says they would? Right-wing wasn't always about capitalism and free markets. It was historiocally about protecting the wealth and power of monarchs and aristocracts.

Then you and I are using different meanings for the terms right-wing and left-wing.
When I say right-wing Im talking about classical liberalism, open free markets, individual liberty, libertarianism and the revolution of the citizens against the power of the totalitarian european monarchies.
Its generally accepted that the left-wing advocates for the power of the government and the control of society by the state.

Nobody's wrong here, but why argue about semantics? All these terms, "left," "right," etc., are highly fluid and subjective. As Chomsky says, "they've all come to take their opposite meaning," anyway. So who cares? It doesn't change the truth. To me, the video's perhaps proprietary system of correlating left and right to more and less gov't is the most useful I've seen. Does anyone really see an important difference between Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia?

Socialists believe in the state controlling the capital and the means of production, they advocate for the abolition of private property.
The difference between private property and personal possessions is that private property is anything that you own and can be used to produce new capital. You can buy it, sell it or exchange it in a free market.
Personal possessions are only granted to you by the state temporarily and therefore can be taken away just as easily.

So which are you a Nazi or a Faschist then. Think you will find that both Communist under Stalin (left) and Naziism under Hitler (Right) were both total forms Governement. In Hitlers case he wanted a pure Aerian race, so he did away with 11,000,000 who were not pure. If that is not Government control I don't know what is and yet he is supposed to be right wing - hmmm
I don't think so. Stalin also labour camps similar to Hitlers concentration camps too - I cant see any difference between the two.

Great video. Especially the part about anarchy. Even in the form espoused by those who truly believe in it, it is transitory. It becomes used by others as a tool to enthrone their cronies. Even the republic which I favor, you have to fight to keep what you have (remember the first lines from this video).

Obviously its right a republic is they way to go so people can have their rights and its been proven its best out of four by history. However, not to say there is another form of government that could of been better and no one was able to discover it.

I saw this video in a marxist site full of morons, one of them said "if a republic is the rule of law as opposed to the rule of the mob, then who makes the laws?".... I think thats a misconception, the republic's constitution is the higher law of the country that guaranties respect for the property and rights of all their citizens and according to that principles all the other laws are created by representatives elected by the people who also must respect and honor the constitution.

Wow, that was an excellent video. I think people ought to more carefully consider what happens when you leave a group of people with no government... "Lord of the Flies" anyone? Or take a look at a school classroom with a substitute teacher...

We're already at the tyranny of the elite on some level. The seats in the US House of Representatives and the Senate are almost never competitive, no matter how low Congress's approval rating gets. How is that not some form of tyranny of the elite?

When does love factor all into this? What's with America's values being repeated by the very ones who double play on words like that to the public arenas$ What of humanity's values? We are at last hearing words such as principles coming alive & heard onto mindset. Thought processes has manipulated into fear mode with great success towards war! Thought thinking with best interests & cooperatively creating newer ideas opposite fear. Long denied of all humanity. Lessons learned is now choice!

This video reflects confusion as to anarchy. It repeats the old falsehood that anarchy means there is no law. False! It simply means no state. Law can be provided in a free market just like any other good or service. And, with the benefit of competition only those who provide justice well will be successful. Anarchy is the only "system" that doesn't rely on coercion to function. In all other systems freedom is denied as some people force other people to act contrary to their own values.

Anarchy would definetly test human morality. With no laws to tell you what to do, everything inside people would really start to show sooner or later. Although it usually leads to some shit head fuck leading other useful idiots, in pursuit of power, to enslave other people for an end he's too stupid, or corrupt, to grasp - much like our current dilemma.
Anarchy would be like hitting the reset button on society, and laws would eventually be written once a power took influence over others.

Technically, allowing others to provide justice is the definition of government. If there is still law, then someone will be forced to act contrary to their values. If not, then law does not truly exist. Your definition of anarchy is more democracy than anarchy. Anarchy does mean NO government.

Thank you. Its the legal monopoly on the use of force that characterizes government to which I am opposed. One can choose among competing dispute resolution organisations (DRO's) whereas under any type of state one is "coerced" to comply with its legal system. DRO's would compete in the marketplace like any business and charge for their services, including guaranteeing payment for damages. DRO's would not guarantee payment by non-paying debtors thus others would avoid contact with them.

He's totally backward in one regard. Anarchy does exist... and exist as a permanent state. No animal, other than man, has a government... thus, anarchy is the natural state. All government is therefore artificial... and by definition, temporary.
He's also just wrong on one count: Republics are not necessarily "law" driven... law comes out of it, often, but not inevitably. A republic is, more correctly, what is good for the group in SMALL SCALE.

Shades, I have to disagree, as I'm pretty sure the author intends to limit the discussion to mankind! In recorded history, anarchy has never existed as a permanent state. It's always been very transient. Anarchists like to say ALL government eventually trends towards tyranny. Unfortunately, I think that's largely true, mainly because they all suffer from the same defect. They're run by humans! But I still think a republic is our best try. Excellent video.

I think you might be missing chunks of history. For instance, the Shao-Lin? Many Native-American tribes? Heck, there are even examples in the United States Westward expansion. People, if left alone, don't really need government. They will tend not to murder one another whether or not there is a law against it. Government requires that there be criminals in order to justify its existence, and its own theft from the public. Thus, laws beget more laws.

Shades, Churchill said his education was like Swiss cheese. Very good, but too many holes. I could say the same. So, yes, I'm sure I am missing at least a few chunks of history. Shao-Lin?? But how do you define government? I'm sure even very small Native American tribes had leaders, and some kind of hierarchy, and ways of dealing with miscreants. Don't forget, even wolf packs have an alpha male. But I understand your thinking. "Laws beget more laws." Ain't that the truth?!!

A well documented timeline by the christians working for their kings. It has never changed. Always the fear measures to keep suffering. Directing the thoughts, words, & emotions of mankind. Divisional hatreds & fears all resulted. It is generationally maintained. We are so separate & withering & feigning fasades of happiness. We try! Revolution is in thought & feeling! Divisional issues serve to distract & break up bridges of swapping stories. Personal. Professional. We've become easy prey~~
