@bkeay100 Those things haven't vanished, it's just that the people with those good old values don't wield a lot of power right now, and quite a lot of people who should be seeing the problem are so busy getting by they aren't seeing it.
@bolloxinator They are still seeing, it's just that they don;t have the time or resources to be able to do anything because they are have to devote their energies and money to simply survive these days. I know because I and most of my friends are in the same boat. We see it all going on around us but all we are able to do is stay true to the cause as we are bringing up families on virtually no money because we have no jobs as there are no jobs, so don't say we don't see because we DO see.
@OrpheusIsThe1 I didn't word what I wrote very well, but the first line of your post is just what I was trying to say. I agree, the struggle to survive is so exhausting that many people don't have the time and energy to give to the labour movement. Depression and lethargy often play a part too, when there's no work to be had and the work there is doesn't pay enough to survive on.
There's the scapegoating they confuse us with, as always. They own the media. But we'll have our day. It's coming.
@bolloxinator Ah cool man no worries it's a struggle but we just hold on and sweat it out until we have the capabilities to sort things out. Luckily none of us suffer from depression even though we do get pissed off but hey doesn't everyone at times so it's nothing unique and nothing for us to moan about just being pissed off, there are people in far worse situations than us so we just wait and bide our time till we are in a position to do something about it
Huh? Think a little harder. For decades M.R. used her courage and talent to stand up for what she thought was right, but she had no use for corporate or political bosses. Her songs would go down well with the current labor activists in the Midwest.
Such an empowering and reassuring song. When played- you feel like you have a hand reached out to you despite all this madness. Thank you for uploading this :)
Spiritual Blues, the very best of roots music. My goodness what a terrific proggression and message. Why hasn't this song been recorded by hundreds of others?!!
The song is the antithesis of anger..The rich get...the poor are...What and who you are..is what you carry through time..The past is over..the future is a mystery...the here and now is the greatest of gifts..THAT IS WHY IT IS CALLED>>THE PRESENT.
So stoked shes finally getting some recognition she has truly been a hero of mine for a few years now.Glad to see people actually agree with her rather than shun her.goes to show how our country is evolving in the right direction little by little. ..thanks for posting this and thank you Showtime for getting her voice out there and not exploiting it!
Thanks for posting this video - Malvina's words are still true 50 years on - its the son of bitches at Goldman Sachs who "succeed" in the world today!
Bless this share. Thank you!

Personally, I am sick and tired of the "polarization,friction and outright hatred" that has gripped our country.
Right-Left Pro- con etc.etc.,ad nauseum...
Like My father used to say "if 2 people agree on something, 1 is unnecessary"
What became of Dialogue, Debate, and Mutual respect?

I hope you aren't right, but I fear you may be..
Does greed truly permeate our world?
If so why? how?
Has brotherly love and respect vanished??
I hope you are wrong!!! While I fear you may be right!!!

Thanks for posting this! All I knew of Malvina before was "Ticky Tacky." You left out a verse from this great song:
I don't mind failing in this world,
I don't mind failing in this world,
Somebody else's measuring scale
Of win or lose doesn't tell the tale
So I don't mind failing in this world.
