The girl insisting that government protection is essential to capitalism is right. The government can, and should, protect capitalism by using antitrust law to prevent larger corporations from controlling sectors. Letting this go unchecked is antithetical to the concept of a free market.
Such simpler times. Mr Brown wanted a greater prophet margin, so he then made all his employees redundant and outsourced his store. His the new employees work for a fraction of a wage in dangerous unregulated conditions for 12 hours a day. He then buys his weenies from Asia where there is less regulation on health and Safety and fewer workers rights. Some child labourers fell into the weenie grinder and now we have soilent green weenies. But at least they are 60% cheaper. mmmmm weenies
Shows how capitalism is ideally, unfortunately it doesn't always work out in practice, especially when larger corporations start to replace people like Mr. Brown, who have a more humanist taste to them (a true capitalist would look at the cost of the gas to deliver the food and the potential liabilities before making the decision)
True socialism doesn't work in practice either, but a social democracy (also known as a mixed economy), seems to work out rather well. Just look to Europe.
Very simply, capitalism is a social system based on individual freedom, economic freedom, individual liberty, and individual rights: life, liberty and property. Individualism over collectivism; freedom over statism. Freedom prevailed over National Socialism and Soviet Socialism. Thank God.
This is propaganda, you idiot! It's even in the tags for the video! If you're backward thinking enough to agree with this bullshit, yours will be a sad, angry, short life. You, like the racists, nationalists, dictators, and rednecks before you, will dwindle and perish as the world MOVES ON.
Truly, I tell you this: if socialism will increase standard of living, improve healthcare, and empower the middle class economically, then America has no need for capitalism.
@alwrig I think you mean to imply that obama and pelosi are somehow anti-business. If that is the case, you are sadly mistaken young man. Obama and Pelosi work FOR big business, not against them.
Dems and repubs- corporate whores the lot of 'em.
What you SHOULD be saying is this: business, keep your hands off government!
THAT is the true threat to our freedom.
And until we stop allowing corporations to fund elections, we can expect more of the same.
Extreme capitalism is nothing about free market. No enough or too much money both become bottlenecks of productivity and efforts for resource development. Money become an agent to buy up or buy down a country's economy by a small group of people. Money is a technology, Capitalism is ideology. Both of them are just some abstract and they are changeable base on humanity and intelligence.
There is no such thing as extreme capitalism, any sort of fascistic corporate domination in history has arisen from big government and the corruption that comes with it. The industrial slavery of the late nineteenth century was brought about through big government regulation of the railroads and labor unions through the Interstate Commerce Act and the anti-monopoly (union) bills, without this the labor unions would have been allowed to exist and counterpart fascistic industrial giants.
Mr. Brown sold his store to a Ukrainian immigrant for a lot of profit.. The immigrant stopped selling weenies because they reminded him of a the bad times he escaped from in Ukraine. Then he started a campaign to ban sales of weenies in other stores, when that didn't work, he invited more of his cash Ukrainians who bought up most stores in the blocks surrounding and enforced the ban on weenie sale, until American capitalists came to their senses and were convinced that eating weenies was a sin.
That may have been true before the days of the Internet, but now you can order weenies or anything else that is locally shunned online. Any local laws which prohibit such transactions are Unconstitutional because they interfere with interstate trade. In a libertarian government even birth control could be ordered online and women could carry out their reproductive rights without having to ban pharmacists who refuse to sell birth control pills (which interferes with private contract). Ron Paul!
@Fukkutah my hero also, he's the only one who seems to know exactly what in hell is going on in the (D)istrict of (C)riminals and who also holds true the ideas of the Founding Fathers.
IAM @ awe of this video. Capitalisim is NOT an invension or an idea of somenody. Beside, I do NOT think there is a country that operates a free capitalistic system exists. Even, when that film was made. I think that movie was a propaganda to counter the Godless communisim back in the day.
This is great, Mr. Fenton. This should be shown in all public schools. My fellow peers should have this basic awarness and understanding, not have to worry about the next Jay-Z or Slayer Album or government's indocrination so much.
As childish as that is, most of us subscribe to that way of thinking.
Oh, I was first in my class! I won first prize in this, that, etc. Instead of asking what we learned from the process or how what we learned can be applied to benefit mankind, we just issue a pat on the head and say, "Great job Johnny!"
Capitalism does not promote equality, it breeds fierce competition and eventually anger. If we would take the time to think critically about capitalism, this would be clear.
Our current value system is so profoundly sick, that money is the one true religion of all mankind. In our desire to become wealthy, we will screw over our best friends. We rationalize this by telling ourselves, "It's healthy competition. I'm better than him/her and I'm going to prove it."
Most of us never really take a look at the effects of that thought process. It is entirely self serving. Who cares if you are the best at something and pronounce to the world that you are #1!
Capitalism as a system does provide freedom and the ability to make a larger profit than your neighbor.
But, if you take a look at the core changes / motivations as effects from capitalism, it's alarmingly frightening.
We are now focused predominantly on self interest via monetary profit and competition. We are all literally fighting each other over the transfer of funds. It's completely absurd!
Instead of working collectively toward human progression, we love to fight and say,"look at me!"
I would hope as adults, we all realize that sexuality is irrelevant in the discussion of capitalism.
It's funny that this dated video can be interpreted as nothing more than propaganda, but at least it shows citizens openly discussing an issue. That does not happen very often today. Today, most of us are fed our opinions via TV / marketing and we do not possess the ability to think independently and / or critically.
Aside from that, I am not a supporter of capitalism.
