Communism in America

[Jiltedin2007]

Any Communism in the United States will get snuffed out like a candle!

[GrandmaTuffits]

@Jiltedin2007 Then what about the CPUSA?

[Jiltedin2007]

@GrandmaTuffits Excuse me? What the Hell is that?!

[jellybeanguitarist]

@Jiltedin2007 Yes!! Hopefully!!! Long live democracy

[Jiltedin2007]

@jellybeanguitarist

Long live Freedom! The complete opposite of Communism.

i got a feeling that i could tune this tv!

[MurderedByMidgets]

chances are no one in this comment box has even read Marx and Engels' Manifesto. so please, either shut the fuck up if you have nothing useful to contribute, or ask questions.

[machinehead5760]

@MurderedByMidgets Completely right comrade!

[TheSharpenedPen]

You're right to call it socialism - because that's what big government is. The sad reality though is that both the democrat and republican parties are socialist in nature - neither one working to limit government's size or scope - with the history of the United States being a steady increase in government irregardless the party.

The marxist sham itself was created by the ultra rich establishment as a means of control over the populace - not as a panacea to class disparity.

[TheSharpenedPen]

Communism is a complete fraud responsible for the deaths of hundreds of millions of people in the name of utopia. Despite this, we have seen an endless piling on to the size and scope of government, at all levels, and in all nations. This overlarge government, under communist utopian theory, is then supposed to benevolently turn over its absolute power to the citizens - this isn't quite what happens though - the absolute power is instead turned 'against' its citizens.

[xxReaverXXCerberusxx]

We need militant communists first, then we need to transition to a political diplomacy, afterall true communism has no need for a military or weapons, but that isn't always insured so we need to eliminate the threats before they can rise.

[cole3454657]

i like the basic idea of marxism, but more in a realistic sense socialism would work much better. though if a pure communism was possible it would be a much better place.

[utubenotgoodasgvideo]

LOL! Footage at the end is of leftists (communists and anarchists) getting their asses beat by the right wing cops at the Republican National Convention.

The Right wing is taking our civil liberties! The Left are the VICTIMS, not the perpetrators.

[KDaugherty15]

many of the links in the description aren't very reliable. they are really just conspiracy nuts and propaganda.

[TheAmazingamerica]

@KDaugherty15 what r the conspiracy?

[mn8aol]

@KDaugherty15--Conspiracy Nuts? Propaganda? “How can a situation be brought about which would permanently change social interactions?” “To bring about change, [the old constellation of] forces have to be upset.” “Hand in hand with the destruction of the old social interactions must go the establishment [or liberation] of new social interactions.” “Group decision facilitates change.” --Kenneth Benne Human Relations in Curriculum Change

[mn8aol]

@KDaugherty15--“We can choose to use our growing knowledge to enslave people in ways never dreamed of before, depersonalizing them, controlling them by means so carefully selected that they will perhaps never be aware of their loss of personhood.” “We know how to disintegrate a man’s personality structure, dissolving his self-confidence, destroying the concept he has of himself, and making him dependent on another. … brainwashing.” --Carl Rogers

[mn8aol]

@KDaugherty15--“In the fourth phase the members retain the group-centeredness and sensitivities which characterized the third phase, but they develop also a sense of purpose and urgency which makes the group potentially and effective social instrument.” (Kenneth Benne Human Relations in Curriculum Change)

[mn8aol]

@KDaugherty15--“The third phase sees the development of cohesiveness among the members of the group, accompanied by a certain amount of complacency and smugness.” (Kenneth Benne Human Relations in Curriculum Change)

[mn8aol]

@KDaugherty15 --“In the first phase various members of the group quickly attempt to establish their customary places in the leadership hierarchy.” (Kenneth Benne Human Relations in Curriculum Change)

[Fnidner]

@linkinparkranger666 Wow.. win. If everybody were more like you, then the world might not be such a disappointing place, where the inhabitants of a military superpower democratically elect morons and imbeciles as their leaders.

(lol, i'm of course thinking of USA's bush, nixon, reagan and perhaps even palin, gods forbid)

[Hoschi0913]

i dont understand why some people wanna make america socialist or communist ,there are country's on this earth that provide that ,please feel free to go there when you like communism ,dont change this republic and the freedom it provides for its citizen,but there is the problem for commuinist it seem,freedom and selfresponsibility,somehow they dont like that at all

[AntiKapitalista2]

LONG LIVE COMMUNISM!!!!

[fullrearview]

@AntiKapitalista2 Then short lived will your liberty be!

[MASHDOTCOM]

You know what I realized? Aside from America, there was another persona who had his blind contempt against the Communists and acted upon it. His name is forever more Adolf Hitler. But in this case, I believe Hitler's justification is much more sound and selfless.

[fullrearview]

@MASHDOTCOM The only thing that didn't make Hitler a communist, was the people still owned their business/property/lives.......­as long as it was exactly what Hitler wanted you to have.....Facists, communists, socialists.....All the same.....All control you!

[MASHDOTCOM]

@fullrearview so much different than the rich and the poor classes of most republic nations.

[Fnidner]

@MASHDOTCOM You're a genius. I know Jon Stewart, whom I respect, wouldn't want me calling George W Bush by Hitler's name, but then again, that would actually be a compliment, cause Hitler might have been heartless, but he wasn't brainless, and he did so many good things for many people before he went insane, and he had ambition and respect for those he thougth deserved it. American presidents are only about money, and their methods of getting it includes scaring and starving their own people

[fullrearview]

@Fnidner Just real quick....WHO is starving in America????

[Fnidner]

@fullrearview Oh my god.. I was looking forward to having a serious debate, but alas! Before you start blabbering to anyone about old russian women that give you a hard-on, please read a newspaper, or better yet, a book. Usa has the highest number of prisoners in the world, which must mean that they're doing something wrong. And a whole freaking 10th of the people is unemployed. Do you know how many people that is? Thats several times the number people working for the world's biggest employers

[fullrearview]

@Fnidner Again....WHO is starving? You posted what I guess is a rebutle, to my simple question, but you didn't answer it. if your saying that people in prison and on unemployment are starving in this country, your are severely mistaken. Having worked in a jail, they eat VERY WELL and get plenty of jumk food to boot.

Those who are unemployed also get food stamps is they qualify, which can be upwards of 1k a month for food! I feed a family of 4 and it doesnt even come close to that much.

[Fnidner]

@fullrearview I think you mean rebuttal? Then let me try to answer more clearly, so even you can understand: There are no immediate statistics as to how many people go to bed hungry every night in the us, since this would be difficult to count. But you can consider that 33% of the population is struggling at or below the Federal Poverty Level, in addition to homeless. And yes, there are 40mil on foodstamps, but they all recieve averagely 140 $, which no-one should be forced to be content with.

[fullrearview]

@Fnidner Well, now we are going to personal attacks?? Anyways, I can tell you, people are not starving in the U.S. If they are, its by thier own doing. Besides foodstamps, charity is huge in the states, and a trip to the local food bank or church will net you more than enough food. How can you say people are starving here when two out of three Americans are fat? By the way....If there is one thing I have NEVER been good at, it was spelling! :-p

[fullrearview]

@Fnidner Again....WHO is starving? You posted what I guess is a rebutle, to my simple question, but you didn't answer it. if your saying that people in prison and on unemployment are starving in this country, your are severely mistaken. Having worked in a jail, they eat VERY WELL and get plenty of junk food to boot.

Those who are unemployed also get food stamps is they qualify, which can be upwards of 1k a month for food! I feed a family of 4 and it doesnt even come close to that much.

[fullrearview]

@fullrearview Now. Prisons are an issue I have. If it wasnt like club med there and people really did pay for their crimes, crime would decrease. That aside, there are so many laws that are pointless and do not serve society in anyway shape or form.

Unemployment: Why work for 15/hour when the .gov wil give you 14/hour to sit at home and play xbox all day. Problem is, people feel entitled to food, clothing a shelter. Your not. Those things you must work for.

[Fnidner]

ayn rand = biggest cunt in the universe..?

[fullrearview]

@Fnidner no.....Just someone we should have listened to!

[Fnidner]

@fullrearview You do that.. I'll just sit here in Norway, attend free university, get paid to educate myself by the Danish state while living among the richest and most equal people in the world, myself being born in the most happy country in the world thanks to our social security system that conservatives are trying to ruin, and meanwhile you can go to a country where Ayn Rand's ideas of a minimal government are present, like say... Afghanistan. See how happy you'd be there. I won't visit :(

[fullrearview]

@Fnidner I'm glad you like your form of .gov. Problem is, history has proven socialism always fails. Conservatives know your countries ponzi scheme can't last. Same as the tea party in my country.Limited .gov and minimal .gov are two different things. She, like our founders, wanted a .gov which was limited in its powers over people. Afghan is minimal because it has ZERO GDP and can't have anything else. They strike oil though...Look out.

Search you tube for, "The American form of government"

[chinaownseverything]

america sucks

[cooks1234]

ayn franks ideas(getting ride of safety nets and focusing on profit for example) and laisse faire is really f ing up mexico and colombia.the states barely exist along with the people and only the capitalist and businesses are dominating the countrys.yeah stand for freedom maybe people who believe this crap should really find out what it means.no thanks i preffer liberty

[xander7ful]

What exactly was Ayn Rand promoting there? Imperialist monarchy? I'm not left-wing but I'm not right-wing either. What we're heading toward is a Fascist-Socialist system, a synthesis of both sides. So it does no good to bash conservatives or liberals.  They're working together.

[Chillz187able]

I LIKE PAYING FOR MY OWN RESPONSIBILITY BITCH

fuck communism, a revolution is coming in america

Learn what is Communism before condem.

Read Communist Manifest then talk

[fasternova]

@arcadian33333

Phase 1: A revolution must take place in order to overthrow the existing government.

Phase 2: A dictator or elite leader (or leaders) must gain absolute control over the proletariat. During this phase, the new government exerts absolute control over the common citizen's personal choices -- including his or her education, religion, employment and even marriage.

Phase 3: All non-communists be destroyed in order to achieve supreme equality.

How many you willing to kill? F communism

[arcadian33333]

@fasternova 1)I will also like to add how many civialnts mothers and babys have to be slughtered in order for capitalists to gain abnsolute control.?

1)Vietnam was not enough?

2)Somalia?

3)Ygoslavia?Iraq?

4)Afganistan?

5)Palestine?

6)Cyprus?

7)Korea? HOW MANY MORE????????

[fasternova]

@arcadian33333

You have absolutely no clue do you.

Communism has been the greatest social engineering experiment we have ever seen. It failed utterly and in doing so it killed over 100,000,000 men, women, and children.

All of your above examples combined can not compete with the murderous effects of communism. You need to wake up. You can read whatever propaganda books you would like but facts are facts. Look for yourself. I'm sure you have good intentions for wanting communism but your blind.

[fasternova]

@arcadian33333

The October revolution marks the inception of the first Communist government in Russia The irony of this is that communism in practice, even after decades of total control, did not improve the lot of the average person, but usually made their living conditions worse than before the revolution. The greatest famines have occurred within the Soviet Union (about 5,000,000 dead during 1921-23 and 7,000,000 from 1932-3)

That worked out well huh.

[arcadian33333]

@fasternova Russia never had 100% communism do you know why???

Hug? do ya??? BECAUSE DOLLAR GOT THE BLUES !!!!!! Dispite that i thank you for correcting your numbers and restoring truth.What are 20 million in front of 60 million dead native americans hiroshima nakashaki ww2 Vietnam somalia Ygoslavia Afganistan qubeit Ygoslavia Palestine Cyprus Iraq And many many many more blood bathed by capitalism countries which youtube dont let me mention due to text limit hug????

[fasternova]

@arcadian33333

I don't take back the 100mil count. Communism in all countries combined is that number and more. I didn't say Russia alone.

I agree the American natives killed is a huge number and very sad no doubt. This takes nothing away from communism however. Europeans started this by the way so lets not make this out to be the current American offense. It would not happen today in America.

Vietnam saw more death after the war than during the war and before it combined.

@arcadian33333

Total abolition of private property - American Hommless

don't know where your goin here. It's communism not Americanism

Property rights confiscation - American Banks

I own a home. I pay my bills. Period. If you don't then yes I loose my home. how else should it be. I should not have to actually live up to my part of the agreement?

Heavy income tax on everyone - Americaaaaaa

LOL Communism would tax you to nothingness. you truly have no idea want you are asking for do you.

[arcadian33333]

@fasternova Socialism is about having everyone beeing able at least to have basic survival goods.Socialism is about free Health care system for everyone Socialism is about free education for everyone.Socialism is about everyone sharing his countrys wealth divited by it's population and THAT'S ALOT OF MONEY FOR EVERYONE.Socialism brings everyone to same level no matter if you are a carpender or president of the U.S you'll be treated the same.

[fasternova]

@arcadian33333

At what point did I mention socialism?

[arcadian33333]

@fasternova ahahahaha nowere sorry

[arcadian33333]

@fasternova Wake up man Dollar Got The Blues

/watch?v=V85V5aDEeSk

[fasternova]

@arcadian33333

# Total abolition of private property

# Property rights confiscation

# Heavy income tax on everyone

# Elimination of rights of inheritance

Which one are you looking forward to the most?

[fasternova]

@arcadian33333

You retard all of those are communism by definition.

[arcadian33333]

@fasternova I can understand your agression....your arguments colapsed.

You tried to discribe the "BAD" Comunism but you reallized that BAD is when.Capitalism values Humans in money.The more money you got the more human you are and the more rights you got over the ones who got less.Capitalist competition is : Your death is my life.U.S Goverment is owned by Capitalists Even Democracy has been bought.You have a Democracy with out meaning a 10% of ur population votes goverment i mean wtf wake up.

[fasternova]

@arcadian33333

LOL Mine collapsed? There are no good points of communism if you have to have the bad, which is inevitable. I'll take my country as is without fear of death at the whim of 1 mans god complex. You just don't get it. I know the utopia your striving for but it WILL not happen. There is no proof it worked at all ever. All that came from communism is misery and death by the MILLIONS. 58% of the US voted in 2008. I don't know where you get your facts but you need another source.

[BabelOn4infinity]

Fuck socialism!

[tomrizzo41999]

You people are so blind. Socialism helps you! Someone is paying for your costs. I don't get you right wing idiots.

[wowisuckatmath]

@tomrizzo41999 bcuz were not lazy as hell and wud like to succeed in life?nothing u communists/socialists wud know.

SOOO sad what`s happened to this once great REPUBLIC!! It`s sickening how now they come for our children to condition them to this way of life!!!!!!!

[cmp81887]

Not to mention that the health care bill has Socialism written all over it. I don't think you people realize it, but our "Democratic Government" will be the one who tells us how much medicine we'll be issued by the doctors. Not to mention that according to what the health care bill says, that the government will have the right to go have access to all of our bank accounts. So all I'm hearing is "the government", "the government", "the government."

[cmp81887]

I will become a martyr in the whitehouse if america becomes hi jacked by communist loons! GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!

[cmp81887]

Clearly this is talking about Communism, this is what's going to take place in America one day, although the steps are already being set into motion. Do you realize what this will do to everyone in America? This will strip us of all of our freedom.

[GoneTemple]

I suppose, if you choose to live your life in fear, you can pretty much put a label on ANYTHING... the only propaganda I see is THIS... think people ,,,  think about this.

[SlavicFront88]

Communism - jewish idealogy

Capitalism - corrupted idealogy

[v44forme1]

In communism, the state controls all banks, all business, all wealth. then tells you , you have no rights.

Capitalism or capitalists are communists.

[Thizzilin]

no- communism erases government while capitalism is totalitarianism

[GoneTemple]

agreed...thank you

[Thizzilin]

capitalism is government and private buisiness and communism is individualism and it is the workers governing them selves-its democracy with out anyone choosing what happens-its the people governing themselves not people governing people

[cmp81887]

@Thizzilin Yes, I understand what you are trying to say that's the good part about it, but you clearly, are missing the cons about Communism. Property becomes controlled, most likely by the government, which means that you and I will have to give up our property rights to the government, which is strictly unconstitutional, and they will end up controlling it.

[TradeRoutes]

obviously it took more than just one jew to steal Palestine in 1948 so that was undeniabley a jewish conpsiracy. Obviously it took more than just one jew to enslave the weak-willed alchoholic russians thru totalitarian communism for 75 years so that was another jewish conspiracy. Americans handed the jew-managed communists their asses when they tried to overthrow the USA.

[SAMsite5000]

Fuck communism!!!! and those who agree with it.

yeah well fuck you

Communism/Socialism are the greatest methods. Capitalism is all about poverty and fascism.

Once the underground forces of European communism have completed the task of liberating Europe from the yoke of Capitalist oppression and American emperialism - Then our sites will be set on YOU my transatlantic friends. A fury will be visited upon all those that stand in the way of liberation and communism...Our task here is comming to completion. See the French Communist Party and NPA. Watch on Youtube mass actions against the G20 and the American empirialists. We're coming to you soon.

COMMUNISM SUCKS

[Wc3Nerd92]

YOU SUCK!

[BZ956]

Anyone who thinks communism is a good idea is just a dumbass

[zeke01370]

exactly BZ956

[mrceebees14]

Communism is a great idea, but not practical, we are too Human to allow it to work.

[Wc3Nerd92]

Yes, your too stupid, but later on we can do a communism in changed form.

[Wc3Nerd92]

Anyone who says something like that is just uninformed.

You don't look at both sides of the coin.

[BZ956]

@Wc3Nerd92 Misinformed i dont think so.When you look at the history of the communist Seizure of Government you notice they only hurt and enslave innocent people. The nation itself never progresses and they instigate and start wars with anyone who dosen't agree with them. Why don't you ask people who actually have lived in a communist nation what they think maybe a soviet or the North Vietnamese controlled South Vietnam do you thin they wanted it certainly not. so there you have it both sides

[Wc3Nerd92]

@BZ956 It s not communism!

There were classes and also a currency.

There was never a communism!

You re so fucking misinformed!

No1 have ever lived in a communist nation, because there wasn t any in history, only socialistic, stalinistic and maoistic and nothing else.

That s what I ment with misinformed, it s so poor.

Anytime you talk the same shit and think it s true.

[BZ956]

There all erivatives of communism dude it aint cool to be a commy stop efening it if you like it so much move to china dumbass cause all you are is a fuckin poser

[Wc3Nerd92]

China calls itself a communistic state but you see they are the greatest workaholics and there are all classes and capital is very important for them. They are the greatest capitalists!

Think about it!

[BZ956]

alright if you think its so great go there you Red bastard. Because pretty soon in America theres going to be another re scare and communists are gonna be dispised people an it isnt gonna be alright to say communism is good wait an see

[Wc3Nerd92]

lol... Can t you understand English?

I said it isn t communism because there are classes and they like it to have capital and they are the biggest workaholics.

There won t come communism there is fascism and capitalism but nothing else.

Communism = society without classes and without capital

Socialism = they try to do the expropriation and nationalization and to get the classes+capital away if they are no bastards

[Nitocolus]

I can't really tell... Is this anti-communist or pro-communist? I can't understand what they're saying!

[bojan78]

What don't you understand Nitocolus? I can attempt to explain if you let me know what part of the video confuses you.

[Xenkenito]

@bojan78 people who are so afraid of communism taking over or whatever i always just say to them "do you grocery shop?" they say "yes" i say "do you use paper money to get them groceries?" "yes"....."well then that is not very independent of you." It is a non-traditional way of life. Traditionally we were farmers and carpenters and did not worry about financial matters so much as down to earth physical/material matters. the days of DIY are long over. Communism is not a new threat. Confusion is.

[ergoproxyism]

@bojan78 explain to me too, i cant understand, my 21st century ears cant get pass all the static lol

[tyrlop]

obama = facistl communist

[Nitocolus]

Wait, what? Are you saying he's fascist, then calling me a communist? I'm not anymore, I've invented my own politics, so haha! Anyway, nice weather, no?

[tyrlop]

i said that obama was a fascist and a communist, and i meant it as a joke.

[BZ956]

It aint no joke boy its for real he's the most radical and dangerous president in our countrys history.

[Wc3Nerd92]

No, if he would be communist I would like Obama after I read he hasn't fulfilled any of his election promises ...

[Xenkenito]

@Nitocolus communism is a dirty word to cover the cleaner word called Sharing. we cannot live and not share. Every dictator that attempted to take without giving got lynched. Its funny how people do not understand that America is a democratic-republic, which is to say it is a balance between extremes. Socialism and Communism on one extreme and Capitalism and Fascism on the other end of the scale. You cannot only love and you cannot only hate. Life is a about harmony.

[Nitocolus]

@Xenkenito Yet here in America, few people share. Those who do share are inspired to do good either by a political party (as I am inspired by Communist Parties around the globe uniting together) or religions (as many other people are). Then there are those inspired by greed, and some who are not inspired to do anything. In this capitalist wasteland we call society, Communism is pretty much a religion that gets workers through the day.

[Xenkenito]

@Nitocolus I paid cash for some eyeglasses one time (at a mall) and the salesman said "how un-american" as if using a debit/credit card is more American. LOL people are so confused these days it is just unbelievable. Jefferson is rolling over in his grave.

[Nitocolus]

@Xenkenito I don't see how paying cash or paying with a credit card really makes a difference either.

[Chainsawcannibal]

The problem with socialism is that the money ends,eventually.But in communism,work is what builds the country,not money that is a fuel source just waiting to run out.Communism is the brother hood of men,everyone works for one another,you look out for your comrades,not yourself.

[GreatSatan1]

You are getting there. This is not about health care at all. It is about communism. Remember when Maxkne Waters said "we will socialize, er er er er long pause, nationalize the oil companies? This is about ideology and redistribution of wealth. Although it doesn't work, they are going for it. Imagine this insane idea in full implementation. Where does the property come from? The property the hospitals clinics and dr's offices currently sit on. Where does the government get all the property ~~~

[unity9]

Ayn Rand hated communism, because she grew up in a wealthy Russian family and had to flee Russia after the rising tide of communism forced her to go. She didn't like the sight of her impoverished slaves rising up against the wealthy leaders of an impoverished land which her father controlled quite a bit of.

[unity9]

Of course Conservative groups are going to call Obama a Socialist/Communist, but conservatives didn't think it was a bad idea to have a Fascist or a Christian Theocracy ruled America while Bush served as dictator.

[billburns2]

LOL. Good point.

Same as the ridiculous US border & immigration checks. What kind of real terrorist gives it up 'cos he can't handle the paperwork?

[AMERICANSTEW5]

Lots of Americans like a free lunch.

[Tasadaru]

It isn't so much communism that's the threat to America, it's central banker fascism. Being governed by non other than bankers and war mongers. There is only one kind of government this country should have, and it is not a democracy, it is a free republic.

[queenievicky121]

what did someone just say that!!!!!!! awsome when do we start

[jrrtube1]

Great video. It really helps remind me of why it is important to stand up against Communism / Socialism / Obambaism.

[unity9]

Just like we stood up to Fascism / Capitalism / Bushism? I mean my God! What do you hate about Socialism...better medical treatment, better schools, better living for all Americans?

Are you more afraid of the government than a bank forclosing on your home? Are you more affraid of government offering you jobs than a private corporation deciding to shut down a plant and send it over to India or China? We tried it your way for 8 years. Now it's our turn.

[residentzombie]

The only way a government is to exist is by taxing their citizens. Our country was founded on freedom and small limited government with most laws being made by the individual state NOT the federal government. Those in Washington crave power so they have more control and are more god-like. In order for federal government to survive it must tax the private sector. No private sector to tax = no funds for the federal government to spend.

[residentzombie]

With all due respect in America you have th freedom of speech without imprisonment. If you feel China has a better system than you should look to leave this great country and relocate to China, or maybe you would prefer Cuba, Venezula, or North Korea? We here in America stand up for our freedoms. "Those who trade liberty for security have neither." - John Adams

[residentzombie]

Oh yes the people of China have an excellent standard of living don't they? Best medical care and newest technology don't they? Yes American corporations outsourcing jobs is a morale hazard but with an ever increasing government, they are forcing these companies to outsource to stay in business. FYI most people protesting Obama didn't approve of Bush either. The protest you see are for liberty and limited government. Please read the Constitution and if you don't like it than leave this country.

[staffman2009]

What makes you so sure you'll get a turn?

America is a Republic. The United States of America would stop existing under socialist rule. Oh, and corporations aren't private, they're public, which means anyone in the world could own a share. Businesses are private.

[chrisy0907]

i can see 95% of americans and brits accepting whats coming. I can see them all sitting in a tiny room like a hamster cage, just sat there silent and motioneless with their lovely crontrolling chip, in front of the propeganda box. and you know what - they would be loving it.
