Who cares who the President is. The system runs itself, regardless what token representatives we elect. A CEO of one the major corporations has more power and influence than any president nowadays...and guess what, we don't get to elect CEO's (not that it would matter anyways).
wow, I still think the idea of one big union to take down the Capitalist system will work, but first we all have so much to do. thanks for the video I think it is great.
The recent controversy over illegal aliens has certainly created a ripe environment for union organizing, what with wealthy politicians trying so blatantly to make it all into an 'us v. them' debate. Well, they should never count 'them' as being inferior because they don't have as much money.

Capitalism concentrates the wealth in the hands of the few mainly because rich parents pass their wealth to their children, never really deserving it. If everyone had an equal start it would be PERFECT.
That said, centralized gov doesn't work, Libertarian values are superior to Socialist ones. America/Canada/Sweden/UK are in fact Socialist nations, so if you like the things the way they are, keep voting for big gov.
Voting for Ron Paul or any representative only validates the corrupt democracy that All western countries attempt. Ron Paul can't change anything, the state is designed so that a simple change in people is ineffective. Revolution can never come through the ballot box. Their is no truly socialist country, and Libertarian socialism/marxism or autonomous marxism (Anarchism) is the way to go.
Trotsky was an enemy of the type of people who organized the IWW. Trotsky supervized the violent suppression (by tanks!) of the anarchists at Kronstadt.
You were? You remember Joe Hill and all of that? I never believed Trotsky and his followers were atheists, really - so God Bless You! I think Jesus would have been a Trotskyite. So God bless poor Leon Trotsky - a much maligned and written off man. This is a valuable and beautifully done video. Muchas gracias.
Anarchy is the answer. Nuff'said

The IWW suffered horribly (murder, jail, et al) for the 8 hour work day, which we now take for granted.

However, I'm not anti-anarchy. In fact I'm the opposite, a proud anarchist.
What I said is just what I've observed.

This is my belief, and i'll undoubtedly be be flamed for it, but hey.
Democracy leads to dictatorship as Representatives become leaders, and leaders- rulers.
Dictatorship can turn to anarchy, as the ruler is overthrown.
And as anarchy consumes the land, people look for leaders, for representatives.
And so anarchy becomes democracy.

how does it lead to dictatorship,? Just wondering

Leaders are given more and more power, and eventually turn on each other, or consolidate their power through some other means.

REAL change doesn't come at the ballot box. Read your history, and I'm not talking about a Civics 101 history book.

are you retarded? If these nations were socialist, there would be no class, and all land would be held in common.
