Capitalism, a Historical Understanding, Part 1 in a series

[mba2ceo]

capitalism = exploitation

[DrCruel]

@mba2ceo Actually no. The correct answer is:

socialism = exploitation

[Theverybest924]

Thank you very much, I am a strong capitalist. I really like your videos, they are very helpful.

[victor1eremita]

hahaha, was anyone else befuddled when, after stressing the importance of looking at capitalism historically, he starts in the 1800's, and turns to a book about american people? so pseudo.

[TinoTaliTintti]

Haha! Youre totally right about that immigration thing!! Im going to get a free education here in my wellfare state homeland and then move to America and start working and not pay any taxes to my loser country!!

[rotivevan]

minister of the french... napolean himself... or king louis?

c'mon if you wanna post "didatic videos" know your facts!

and your voice is fucking annoying

[UnionKid15]

Great series, cropper, thanks for posting this for all of us to see and//or watch..!!!

6) Under the Hamilton American Credit System, we don't like economic slavery and we don't like monetary systems that control the States and our Nations activities. We believe in freedom for the common man. We are a Republic and we have the right to self Government. We don't like ruling classes or Kings and Queens. We don't bow to Queens over here. Get the idea? To learn more, Google: LaRouche, on the "American Sysytem" of economics

[gkgreger]

5) For example; the federal reserve is a privet bank in the business of loaning money to the United States. This Bank then controls and monitors the activities of our Government. This is totally illegal under our constitution. Under Article 1 section 8 of our constitution, we are a Credit System and the Congress is the only ones who have the power to coin money or issue credit. A 3rd party such as the federal reserve controlling treasury is absolutely illegal.

[gkgreger]

4) We have a National Bank. If a State needs credit or capital to get it's economy going, that State can borrow from the National bank. All State trade under the same currency and each State is independent and has total control over their own economy. The purpose of the National Bank is not to get States into debt to suppress and control and enslave them. The purpose is to help the States by offering a credit source that State can go to if it needs Credit.

[gkgreger]

3) The Hamilton American Credit system has a entirely different purpose. It's purpose is to provide our Independent Sovereign Nation States a source of credit so that State can create it's own economy. The Hamilton System looks like this.

[gkgreger]

2) By getting Governments and business into debt, these privately owned banking interests then monitor the activities and control the affairs of our Government and businesses. For example, our Government works for Wall Street privet financial interests and not the American people.

[gkgreger]

1) Hi canaan1967.

The American system of economy was created by Alexander Hamilton.

Under our constitution, we are a credit system and not a monetary system. The system we are living under at this moment is a monetary system where you have privet banking interests in the business of loaning money to governments and businesses and charging interest.

[MrKaniyaw]

Totally rubish. Capitalism is the most prfoundly unequal system of wealth distribution possible.

human beings will be far better off in a society with the same level of freedom but with NO capitalism.

[canaan1967]

Capitalism is fettered by democracy and egalitarian principles. Total rubbish, i agree.

[newnameism]

Oh the Lassiez faire thing Adam Smith to George the third disgusted over the matter of colonies, commodities that decides an economy. pause where does raw cotton come from.

[newnameism]

In 1776 our Declaration of Idependence was ratified in the same year something of a chief of finance in Britain issued Wealth of Nations the Prime Minister of the time was Lord Townsend developed crop rotation

[gkgreger]

2) The capitalist is a greedy parasite & gets a free lunch. The British have used Capitalism to build Empires. It's not the American system of economy. It's a imported British system & the British are a parasitic culture. Look at there Queen. What the hell did she ever produce of real value to others in exchange for all her wealth. She's a parasite & lives of the peasants tax. We don't like this ruling class crap in America. Google : LPACTV: Audio Preview, The LaRouche Plan

[gkgreger]

1) Under the Real American System of economy, the PURPOSE of having a economy is to manufacture products & services we need & must have in order to improve our living standards & increase our survival potential & happiness as a people, culture & Nation. The skilled blue collar worker is considered extremely valuable & is treated well. But, the Capitalist considers the blue collar worker a peasant & sub-normal class & has found a way to get rick of his ability to produce & manufacture things.

[HailRasec]

Capitalism has been corrupted. Usury is unjustifiable.

[canaan1967]

Capitalism is corrupt by nature

[gkgreger]

Capitalism is not the American system of economy. Capitalism is a system of usury that turns workers into slaves and puts society under economic slavery. It is every bit as wrong as communism. Both systems lead to slavery. In a real Republic, capitalism or communism cannot exist. The last time America was acting like a real Republic was under FDR leadership. Under FDR, our government worked and ran for the People. Not F*ck*n Wall Street. YouTube: LaRouche American Sysytem of economics

[905rocks]

you right that captiism is not the usa economy system

[Bigturns33]

I really think you dont know what capitalism is if you think its slavery. Capitalism has been well explained in this video. Capitalism involves the shareing and trading of value in product free and volentery without restriction. FDR as you try to say made more communistic government programs that even lenin would have praised. FDR was almost dictatorial in his practice as executive.

[CoryLazyMan]

Free "Bring Back Capitalism" bumper sticker at BringBackCapitalism . com/free.html

[canaan1967]

I didn't know it was ever gone. Explain???

[CoryLazyMan]

From an investment standpoint, The stock market declared TOD a year ago when it began rewarding Failure (I.e., BofA losses 17 billion more than expected and fails the stress-test and it's stock price climbs over 20% that day) over success (i.e., stocks of banks reporting profits flat on the same day). The market knew the larger the loss, the bigger the bailout. Now, the good guys/banks are punished for what?

[piscesgutt]

Ok please tell me why I am wrong but how is capitalism going to stop 100 different people from killing all the buffaloes? In the long term everyone starves and freezes because all the buffaloes were killed for short-term profit.

[UtubeMyAccountName]

The buffaloes were killed to destroy the Native American way of life, not in the name of capitalism. It was a U.S. Govt sponsored program, not free enterprise. This is the reason most carcasses were not put to any productive use, but left to rot in heaps.

[vmf214nb]

Lol the capitalist acts like a capitalist and wants to get it from other capitalists :) What a loon

[mexaguil]

You are right the best foreign policy is open borders for trade and immigration. Even with Cuba, trade embargo's only hurt the people and strengthen the tyrants.

[93rardo]

Capitilism is justice....hahahaha.

[ilikadapepsi]

The problem with immigration is that we have a welfare state and often people come over here and end up benefiting off of this, and taking our tax dollars. We shouldn't have completely open borders until we get rid of this system.

[Laddre]

some other guy ohhh smart guy

[longhairsRcool]

Except we don't have capitalism right now. The money system is privately to a large degree. Why don't you study into the federal reserve and come back to me with a good video or comment.

[zyxrationalist]

Capitalism = Rule of the capitalists = No democracy = No freedom.

[OblivionMon]

Capitalism + Constitution + Bill of Rights = Higher GDP, better incentive for self-interest to work for the good of the people, Higher standard of living, et all. True democracy leads to the tyranny of the majority which eventually leads to socialism.

[AmericanNohbuddy]

"better incentive for self-interest to work for the good of the people"

LOL!!! If people are totally in for themselves then a lot of people wouldnt get help that they need. There needs to be a safety net. Would you get rid of everything in america that is considered "socialist"?

[SuperWillHatch]

What a shame that we don't actually have capitalism, nor have we ever.

[vmf214nb]

Yup and your not going to be able to stop that sad sheepie, better cling on to your possesions

[Sam26100]

Give examples please. Otherwise, your comment is invalid and irrelevant.

[vmf214nb]

agreed comrade

[samsonlovesyou]

Capitalism's overiding fundamental is justice?

Oh how subjective a term 'justice' can be when a capitalist uses it.

[F3loniousMonk]

Everyone please watch for Thill029's new lecture series where he/it will explain how everything that goes wrong in a capital market is based on bad government economic policy. This informative series will explain such things to you as 1. it's them goddamn mexicans 2. the trickle down theory 3. the sub-normal masses should wise up and 4. exploitation for dummies... Thill ur a shill and what makes you a disgrace to thinkers is that you pretend to be one while offring only bumperstickerplatitude

[F3loniousMonk]

it seems that your "greatness" is short lived. the only thing that comes out of michigan now is bad music and michiganites themselves, who are escaping the economy there. you are a bonehead and it is funny that you think people will pay any amount of money for your "teachings"... do you have the courage to hold up books and teach from books that argue against capitalism??? you are a vapid, unencouraging disgrace to all thinkers and you should hang your head in shame. or from a very high rafter..

[Thill029]

He is not talking about the Michigan of today, you idiot. And the main reason their economy has failed is because of years of bad government economic policy (something that doesn't happen in a free market) and decline in the auto industry.

And what makes him a disgrace to thinkers? Because you don't agree with him?

[ffreiredutra]

O capitalismo teve sua origem historiacamente falando com a fisiocracia entre 1760 e 1770, logo após isso surgiram os clássicos, ou escola clássica, Adam Smith, David Ricardo, karl Mark. Após isso em 1870 e 1929 surge o neo clacissimo com a Escola de viena, escola de Lousane e a Escola de cambrige.

Em 1883 e 1946 surge keynes o responsável pela visãomacroeconomica. Um pouco de historia, se informa ignorante americano burro

[FartheadOgre]

Nice impression of Mr. Ed! Lassie fair...hahaha.

[GaleryonTheMystic]

"We are going to go to the roots of it in the 1800's in the United States of America." Capitalism has its roots in European feudalism.

[MrCropper]

"Capitalism has its roots in European feudalism."

Wrong. Capitalism has it's roots in the philosophy of John Locke, who was an Aristotelian. I have heard equivocations showing that this or that modern practice was invented in the middle ages, but regardless of what modern professors say, the roots of capitalism are philosophical.

[Xproletariatx]

Wrong!!!!!!!! How can a whole economic system have its roots in the ideas of one person??? What are you saying, John Locke's writings were solely responsible for the rise of capitalism??? Erroneous! I agree with the first fella who said "European feudalism" led to Capitalism.

[mahyarmohaghegh]

yes mr cropper, MARX (im sure you've heard of him) was much closer to Locke, Locke could be seen as a father of Liberty or modern democracy but not capitalism, I dunno why you didn't say Adam Smith, WHO was the father of capitalism by popular standards.

In fact Marx thought that the problem with Property was that, during the industrial revolution, was taken away from people, through force. most workers don't sell property but their labor, so they cannot acquire the things they make.

[MrCropper]

Capitalism is a system that recognizes individual rights. It is therefore a direct result of the philosophy of Locke.

I rest my case.

[mahyarmohaghegh]

please explain to me how capitalism recognizes individual rights? u have philosophized an economic system that whenever put in place had brought extreme misery, very much like dogmatic marxist/lenninism or moaism.

I can simply say yes

liberty and equality can be achieved through communism

everyone wants liberty and quality.

so everyone wants communism...

[BenLS1975]

European feudalism morphed into what we call mercantilism, whereby politically connected persons or companies were granted monopoly and other commercial privilege. It was an attempt to maintain the rigidity of the social class order by allowing the Crown to regulate economic affairs, who would now maintain power not through systems of land ownership, but by dispensing economic favor to privileged elites. Free market capitalism was a reaction to this system. See Adam Smith.

[BenLS1975]

This was intented to be a reply on the origins of capitalism comments from earlier.

[Subjectivity101]

hahahhahahahaahaha

- Dump the Ayn Rand - read your history books.

[henrihead]

When Hilary turns us all into good communist comrades, the first book burning will be held at your house.

I was not born in a communist hell hole country, but it sure looks like I'll die in one.

Our children have been brainwashed by the communists in our school system.

Teach your children that guns are good. Teach them how to use guns. The 2nd amendment will be our only protection against communist/socialist tyranny.

[Xproletariatx]

Oh god you right wing nut. How the hell is Hillary "communist"??????

"The Capitalist Manifesto" is an amazing book to go along with these videos. I highly suggest picking it up if any of you have not. Im sure Mr. Cropper already has it :).

The French minister who asked businessmen what the government could do to help them was Jean-Baptiste Colbert.

The entrepreneur who replied "Laissez-nois faire!" was Thomas Le Gendre.
