A very educational and insightful video, in my opinion. Keep up the good work on exposing the deceitful hypocrisy and greed that is endemic in our "democratic" and "developed" world.

[AirLockBelsen]

You ever stop and think that Globalisation would actually prevent wars as countries would rely on each other for resources.

Another bit of crap you mentioned was baby booming decreases once families are secure and education plays a bigger role, what are you on ???

This is a monetary system, banks are its bloodline, you are highly confused and im not watching anymore of your videos until you come down off that very strong skunk you been smoking, your so full of shit its untrue.

[lorenzojhwh]

[cidseven]

I think that the problem with this guy, isn't so much that he is stupid, which is often the case with marxists, but, that he actually genuinely seems to care about most people.

The reason the majority of third world countries are pretty much backwards, is because the people who live in those countries aren't particularly clever nor do they have very much empathy towards each other.

Japan was nuked for example, but became a very advanced society in spite of this.

What's africas excuse?

[RevolutionaryJam]

@cidseven you're an ignoramous and I'm not a marxist

read a book for once

I recommend Rogue State by William Blum or Confessions of an Economic Hitman, but I doubt you'd ever bother to expand your mind

Africa excuse is that it's still being economically beaten, bent over and raped to this day

if you don't like my content leave comments on someone elses channel, this channel is for people who actually want to have an educated, history-based opinion and make the world better.

[cidseven]

You aren't a marxist, you just wear che tshirts and expout marxist rhetoric from a marxist perspective, subscribing to marxist historical,economic and cultural analysis?

You're a marxist, you perhaps just don't know it, or maybe you're just a liar.

I am definitely more intelligent and educated than you, so don't attempt to call me an ignoramous.

If africa was being beaten, bent over and raped, apartide SA and rhodesia would still exist.

Basic SA and Rhodesian history.

[RevolutionaryJam]

@cidseven which part of saying "Internatiol Aid is a form of Corporate Welfare" is marxist?

Sounds libertarian to me

I'm not on the political spectrum, I'm an anarchist and not a particularly left-wing one as far as anarchists go

if you're "definitely more intelligent and educated then me" then put up some videos and share your wisdom, don't run down what I'm trying to do here you arrogant punk.

[cidseven]

I've already explained as to how you are a marxist, but, in this particular line you have given, the marxist element would be the implication that the humanitarianism of international aid is a mere smokescreen for an elaborate corporate welfare system designed simply to help out western multinational corporations.

Which simply isn't true.

For the record, anarchists can be marxists also.

Furthermore, anarchy is dangerous as fuck.

[RevolutionaryJam]

@cidseven and statism is safe as we have all seen, yup, decades of war, concentration camps, dictators, military coups, opressive police, politicians lining their profits from the public trough all adds up to a really safe basis for a society

I bet you've never read a single book or even watched a 10 minute video on youtube about anarchism

you just have opinions. you're not interested in being educated about them, you've made that clear.

[cidseven]

Yes, statism is safe. Infact, according to my historical and psychological research, the origin of the state and territories for people are a clear survivalistic strategy to shield a people from the violent natures of other peoples.

Anarchism, if implemented today, would expose the best people to the violent, murderous, wicked natures of the worst.

[RevolutionaryJam]

@cidseven anarchism is the belief that all claims to authority should be legitimised, it's perfectly rational.

I love how you come up with THE most pedestrain objection to anarchism in the world, the Hobbist "Anarchism, if implemented today, would expose the best people to the violent, murderous, wicked natures of the worst. " as if in hundreds of yars of philosophy no single anarchist has thought of this criticism and addressed it rationally and at great length.

[cidseven]

And the counter argument = ??? what?

You conveniently left it out of your response.

[RevolutionaryJam]

@cidseven ok there are two fundamental criticisms of your argument

One is, if you're right, and people have a wicked nature then you can't have a state. Why? Because the people with the most "violent, murderous, wicked natures" are the ones who are going to be ruthless enough to get into power, and therefore have all the machinations of a state with the monopoly of force to "expose the best people" to.

[cidseven]

@RevolutionaryJam You obviously didn't bother to read what I wrote clearly. I didn't say that all humans had wicked natures, I said that some people do.

The people who get into political power are not always the most wicked, that is a total fallacy. Often leaders have taken power out of necessity.

The nicer humans typically create armies and borders to protec themselves and their families from the naturally wicked.

[RevolutionaryJam]

@cidseven @cidseven the second major criticism is you are assuming that just because Andy has always done the Milk Run, that only Andy CAN do the milk run. IE. That because the state responds to violence, only the state can respond to violence. But people don't want to live in a violent society, therefore, they would create institutions to respond to threats of violence even in a stateless society.

[cidseven]

@RevolutionaryJam Incorrect. If you look at some of my other comments you will see that I am very pro self defence. I think the state should allow people to own all sorts of weapons and should be encouraged to execute rapists and thugs. I would go as far as to give people medals for killing thiefs and drug dealers for example.

A stateless society would simply recreate the state in order to survive.

[RevolutionaryJam]

@cidseven

Finally, your history on the origins of the state is a misreading of John Locke, who was telling a parable which is not factual, I could go into it in more detail, but basically when he says "man is born into a state of nature" he means IN THE PRESENT, not in an historical event. The origins of the state is feudal lords and people claiming to have the divine right to rule. It was enforced by militias, not embraced voluntarily.

[cidseven]

@RevolutionaryJam My understanding of the origins of the state is not based on john locke you fool. I am a historian and I have particular expertise in ancient, medieval and prehistoric societies.

As far as feudalism goes, it is a stupid term and does not effectively shed light on the political, cultural and social realities of medieval europe, furthermore it also implies that there was a uniform social organization in europe, which there was not.

[cidseven]

@RevolutionaryJam While there were undoubtably land owners in certain cases and military aristocracies, this was not actually opposed by most people, and there was nothing stopping most people from being being successful and doing various different jobs.

Medieval europe was extremely culturally and politically diverse. It would be an error to claim that the frankish society and military organization was identical to celtic irish society and military organization for example.

[Zecalran]

Africa doesnt need aid but rather as you transparent fair trade agreements based upon mutual human dignity and respect!

The devaluation of another race of people along with the corruption of its leaders behind the scene is the way of the western nations and now china is following suit! I like your video thank u very much!

[RevolutionaryJam]

I agree thanks for the kind comments

[cidseven]

'make the world better' Better for who? the planet, as far as I am concerned, sentimental and aesthetic values aside, is a resource for me and the few people I like.

The people I dislike could suffer and die for all I care.

The world is run by egalitarianists however, what you say about some sort of wicked conspiracy against third worlders is just not true, the west is not behind the backwardsness of most african countries.

[RevolutionaryJam]

@cidseven well thats the measure of you as a human being, nothing more need be said between us since we have irreconcileable differences in world view

basically, I can't force or convince you not to be a selfish, arrogant misanthrope.

[cidseven]

Consider this,

Only a handful of people seem to be genuinely capable of sticking to a moral code, being honest and being genuinely loyal to people.

The rest, as is so obvious through history, are incredibly wicked, incredibly cowardly, and unthoughtful people who bend the rules to suit themselves constantly.

In such a world, is it so unwise to look out for yourself and a few key, unique individuals rather than the heartless, violent mob?

[Zecalran]

exploitation of the 3rd world resources is the shame of the developed world! Especially Africa that is the riches continent on the planet in terms of varieties of resources!

[bigcreator]

Hey mate have you thought about getting you wig chopped all the best.. pete.

[eriblood]

Fuck the NWO, that's their hidden agenda to keep Africa in a 3rd world content status.

[wisenatts]

Infact, you can see the DVD I mentioned on this same website when you type in Apocalypse Africa. Be sure to check it out.

[wisenatts]

You should watch a dvd called Apocalypse Africa:Made In America, which details how america has its hands in most of the coups,wars and general chaos in the majority of the african countries and the puppet leaders that they have handpicked in order to exploit and plunder these african's countries natural resources. These countries were given flag independance but in reality outside forces called the shots. The so-called leaders would sell their mother's to the highest bidders.

[RevolutionaryJam]

I'll see if I can check it out!

[tblack1627]

Can you explain more specifically as to how the book "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa' particularly helped you in your study?

[RevolutionaryJam]

I own it but I've not read that much of it to be honest, it was sourced by Michael Parenti, I felt I more or less knew what it contained and find a ot of these stories heartbreaking to read so I avoid the specific details except when I'm reasearching for an article, however, it is one of the main places for anyone to go who wants the details of this history.

[gardenspoonVLOG]

Interesting thoughts here, the banks are the biggest crooks of them.

[RevolutionaryJam]

you said it! crooks with our f&%king tax money!

[no2facism]

i don't know if this has anything to do with the vidoe, but brother you look like a very cool guy :) lol.

[soupdragon42]

Yes, the likes of Geldof and Bono miss the real issues!

[soupdragon42]

Quality presentation. People need to understand these facts.

[RevolutionaryJam]

Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed it

[jumpnjza2]

Good stuff mate.

[RevolutionaryJam]

Cheers :-)

[freka16662]

its just every person ive met with long hair and a beard plays some sort of musical instrument i dont know why

[Owleyes888]

Which book is that?

[RevolutionaryJam]

which book is what?

[finefilth]

great expose on the bankers!! thanks.. the IMF hit my wifes country and blood was in the streets with liberal helpings of suffering

[RevolutionaryJam]

what country was it?

[finefilth]

ecuador, and basically every country in south america ...same game plan is used every time

[fender420strat]

yeah give him a shower and a haircut and ill wear his dck out yumyum ;-) oh and hes smart too

[RevolutionaryJam]

erm... thanks I guess

[ddaly1]

great commentary. I have watched a few of your videos and i have to say, i am seriously impressed.

[RevolutionaryJam]

thanks very much, I'm very pleased you've found the content worthwhile! I haven't done one of these commentaries in a long time but I have a follow-up to this one in the pipeline, whenever i get to finishing the reading and getting my notes together! hahah :-)

happy new year

[ngonea]

Thank You for posting this, very good education badly needed in the U.S.

[RevolutionaryJam]

hi thanks, i'm glad you found it informative!

[chickenjojo]

Coffee and the ensuing conversation with you would be a blast.

Have you read: "The Second World: Empires and Influence in the New Global Order" by Parag Khanna? I think you'd like it.

What about "micro-loans"? Is that a reasonable way for someone who simply cannot go to another nation to make a hands-on difference?

I'd be interested to hear you comments on the nature of education.

thanks.

[RevolutionaryJam]

Hi I haven't actually heard of Micro-loans, have you any suggestions of videos etc where I can learn more?

Education isn't easy to talk about in short but unsurprisingly I'd say we have more of an indoctrination system than an educational one.

[Kalydosos]

Ahh now I understand why Ghana got a critical kicking off the IMF for attempting to increase. Tariffs on imported chickens, racists use the Aid argument to highlight what they see as African backwardness.

I've read recently that Ghana quietly sold off all its Gold reserves in 2007. Nobody knows where or to whom its been sold, can't believe any Government in this time, could do such a stupid thing.

[RevolutionaryJam]

its more fiendish than stupid

our current PM, Brown, sold of our gold reserves when he was Chancellor for a mere fraction of their current value, insanity

[Kalydosos]

I hope your wrong on that! I'll look into it, everybody is running to Gold,Land,Silver,oil and other valuable hard.

Value resources rather than paper I think wer're in the shit won't surprise me, if immigration goes the other way in the future.

So called developing countries are seeing dividends from high prices for resources.

[RevolutionaryJam]

it's true, i have a related video on it, economists called him crazy at them time, still no clue as to what his "official" reason for doing it was

[cestlouise]

dear one,

very well said...

thank you,

louise

[RevolutionaryJam]

And thank YOU Louise for taking the time to watch and for enjoying my video x

[CormegaNas]

great video

[RevolutionaryJam]

thanks!

[lunigal]

RevJam, your videos are disturbing and enlightening. Just what I need to wake up. Its like strong coffee and whiskey, it burns but it is good for ya.

[RevolutionaryJam]

heheheh thanks so much I really appreciate that

[gauharjk]

@RevolutionaryJam, Your videos are always informative and interesting. Could you please release a vid on what you believe could be the effects of Peak Oil on poor countries...

[RevolutionaryJam]

Hi thanks so much, I'm really pleased you think so

thanks for the suggestion as they are most welcome but unfortunately I don't feel I have any particular expertise on that matter and so I don't think I would be the most reliable source of information!

Some people think that peak oil is a myth contructed to keep the price of oil up for teh profits of the companies concerned

[Matey3]

Tell them about it man! good job!

evil will grow if we stand there and do nothing!

[imafishgod]

Beautiful sharing . We need more brilliant messages such as yours! Very impressed with your voice to those who & have not yet heard!Peace♥

[RevolutionaryJam]

thanks so much!

[darrenpollard1st]

It's like the third world has disapeared from the world. No-one hardly speaks of the poor people starving to death because the elite are keeping them from fertile lands with their oppressive regimes & strategically placed gunmen. Good little talk my friend. Thanks!

[RevolutionaryJam]

it used to be a bigger topic in the 80s, they try to trick you into thinking western imperial colonialism is good on environmental grounds

[RevolutionaryJam]

hey darren, would you kindly share this with all contacts? I see you have a large audience and I'd really appreciate the help spreading the message :-) if not kl

[5starrater1]

Really well put. great post.

[RevolutionaryJam]

thanks so much!

[5starrater1]

Africa... the world's richest continent in resources = the world's poorest continent.

[moneymagnetelizabeth]

I just love your real logic. A country should hire you as a consultant!

[RevolutionaryJam]

lol thanks! I would love that job! :-D

[zizizzi]

Excellent post!

I also highly recomend the book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by John Perkins.

Thanks for the links.

[RevolutionaryJam]

thanks for watching, we have had quite a few recommendations of that actually!

[darrenpollard1st]

I secone that. What a man he is for speaking out about what he did for a living. 'The Confessions of an Economic Hitman' is a new revolation. Highly reaconmended.

[accebere]

totally agree that we are not being fair. we're still doing the whole colonial thing but with money 'cause those that hold the money have the power. the rothschilds, rockefellers, and numerous others that can be named.

with all our laws there are things in between the lines inserted, so i guess that this whole aid thing is not merely different from that (or the problem in my country with health insurance).

..and i have i mentioned that you're gorgeous?

[RevolutionaryJam]

*blushing*

[photofu]

they've been exploiting the 3rd world for years, there isn't much left to exploit anymore, so now they want war to take whats left.

[RevolutionaryJam]

"they" is "us" everytime we buy certain products, without knowing it.

[ladyjade3]

A very intelligent, indepth explanation of the issue. Thanks!!!

[RevolutionaryJam]

thankyou!!! by all means check the sidebar for more info x

[geckoremmington]

& where's bob gelof when ya need him?

fuck the wto

SMACK A ROTHSCHILD

[RevolutionaryJam]

haha I think it will take more than smacking,

em perhaps appropriating their wealth and dividing amonst the most needy.

[sumayah222]

thanks for the video

[RevolutionaryJam]

thankyou for taking the time to watch it :-)

[ps3pieterrrr]

Haha okay nice,

[gauharjk]

This is a very interesting view. I've also heard an audio book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman", and I agree with your analysis.

[RevolutionaryJam]

Oh I might get that, i like audio books cos I can listen to them while i'm practicing the piano.

[gauharjk]

You could watch it right here on Youtube

watch?v=yTbdnNgqfs8

[RevolutionaryJam]

cool, thanks!

[ps3pieterrrr]

You look alike

Jezus christ...

[RevolutionaryJam]

yeah a lot of people have left comments saying that

[tdpprocessing]

Rev Jam for US President, 2008. I will marry you for naturalization purposes. ;)

[RevolutionaryJam]

Yas I'd love to be president, but Scottish people aren't allowed, I'd marry you to take care of each other :-)...

...and make love ;-) ;-)

[tdpprocessing]

Make it a 3 carat cubic zirconia, I'm not superficial.  LOL

[RevolutionaryJam]

haha no, I don't believe in diamonds I'm afraid, they are mined by slaves and their value is artificially inflated by the few very rich families who control the supply of them into the market x sorry

[tdpprocessing]

You are one deep person. Very intelligent, educated, well informed and so young to have such an old soul. It's that genius thing you've got going. I would marry you in a heartbeat LOL, but I warn you, I produce pale, blonde hair, blue eyed children. You would be begging for a DNA test. :)

[RevolutionaryJam]

haha it's ok I trust you, you're making me blush with all these compliments, maybe I'm naieve...

lovely having you linked on my channel :-)

[CounterRevolutionary]

Ant,

I didn't know that canceling 3rd world countries' debt meant transferring their debt to 1st world countries. I wonder is this is the "leveling of the playing field" that I hear mentioned so much.

Have you read John Perkins' books; "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man", and "The Secret History of the American Empire"?

[RevolutionaryJam]

no but I have heard them highly recommended, do you think I should read them or do I already know whats in them?

It's not really "leveling the playing field" because it's still poor tax payers who have to shoulder the burden, "leveling the playing field" would be forcing corporate banks to sacrifice a percentage of their profits to compensate for these debts.

[CounterRevolutionary]

I'm sure you know a lot of what's in them, but hearing it from a first hand witness, and seeing it written in black and white is quite an eye opener. You should read Confessions of an EHM, I think it's in paperback now.

[AzraelsJudgement]

I will check out the links

[AzraelsJudgement]

The third world are just the lower slaves being pushed into deep debt and become corporate colonies. Our aid goes to keep the puppet governments in power and for the western slaves to pay of the weaker slaves debt so the banks stay happy. The world says you can only trade in this garbage paper money and the governments of the world force it onto their countries. The UN and world bank are the center of this scam with the USA and other western governments used for violence.

[CanadianBeaver]

we are all Debt slaves No Matter the Place we Live!Peace and Love!

[AzraelsJudgement]

Exactly

[RevolutionaryJam]

well observed!

[PathocracyNow]

Well said Pilgrim!

But I think you underestimate the scale of the problem you mentioned in a comment earlier - psychopaths in power and their grip on the reins of control. I think that not one single lasting positive thing can be done until enough people know that 9/11 was an inside job - a blunt force trauma planned by utterly devious networks.

Until the veil is lifted on the dark underbelly of our world, we will never get to the root of the problems we so badly want to address.

[RevolutionaryJam]

i'm not sure really, even if it came out that 9-11 was an inside job we'd still have a ridiculous system based on consumerism and false money. Most people are too apathetic to even do anything until they personally feel the bite, I'm hoping that rising energy prices encourage more people to turn to producing their own, I hope they stop moaning that the "government should do something about it" - the only reason the government ever helps people is to keep them enslaved and ignorant.

[rjshmo]

That was really good video. Thanks for making it.

[RevolutionaryJam]

ThankYOU for watching it! :-)

Best wishes,

Ant

[moneymagnetelizabeth]

There are more aids centers opening up like cancer centers, birth control centers . . . just like macbanks opening up everywhere. It is all based on a business. Hospitals have the same debt problem. Private equity firms pump and dump.

[RevolutionaryJam]

In the meantime their is info out there such as cancer cannot survive in a more alkaline environment, most peoples diets are far too acidic, and in the meantime they put chemicals in our food, drinking water and air which are carcenogenic. It's all a sick joke to make money for pharmaceutical companies.

[moneymagnetelizabeth]

I would give this video rating more than a five. The corruption is in the system and global. Celebrities are clueless and part of the systtem. The EU actually pays celebrities to represent them for appearance sake and rasise money for the system. Each country should breakaway from EU, WTO and go back to the basics. The president here in the U.S. is nothing more than a con. All countries have their work cut out for them. Even the very poverty stricken. Their gov is a product of the corp con.

[RevolutionaryJam]

Thankyou for the kind words,

and I agree, local power and production are absolutely key to a healthy democracy and so international organisations like the EU and WTO have nothing to offer but dictatorship. Countries must have the right to choose whatever legislation they deem necessary to help their people take care of themselves, in the case of the "3rd World" that means manufacturing their own products with their own resources instead of a forced reliance on richer nations.

[arleen3]

I totally agree with you. That could even help keeping their own people from migrating to the "richer" countries. I believe we could all make this world a lot better but people need to start waking up and realize that we have so much potential,each one of us do and that we need to become independent from what's holding us back (nwo, illuminati, bank corporations, ONU, etc,etc). It is our duty to speak the truth wherever we are.

Thank you for this video!

[RevolutionaryJam]

I hope one day I can save up some money and go work in a developing country in Africa or South America, I'm sure if I save £5,000 it would be more like 10 times that in relative terms, the money goes so much further and can do so much more to help people...

[ljrow49]

The scum of the world the international bank  greedy devils

[Slavesrevolt]

Very well put.

[RevolutionaryJam]

thankyou!

[arleen3]

Yuo are so right about this. I come from a third world country and it is interesting how our countries produce most of the world's food and yet they are the ones dying of famine and other diseases why we are feeding the richest countries. People don't even care about education(can't afford) while they know their bellies are empty.

[RevolutionaryJam]

Hi, if you don't mind me asking what country are you from and can you tell us a bit about your experiences?

[arleen3]

Honduras. I love my country despite all the economical and political problems. I consider myself pretty fortunate because my parents were able to give me and my sisters home, education(university). I can tell you that most of the people in Honduras set themselves in the position of survival. If you can't go to school because your mother needs help to pay the bills, you just can't choose, you know you will get stuck with the first mediocre job you get for a while. I wish currency did not exist.

[TheMethadoneParty]

currency isn't the problem, it's corrupt governments and international banks that control them. we all need to unite all around the globe and tear the fuckers down! THEY ARE THE REASON WE ARE POOR!

[RevolutionaryJam]

hasta la victoria siempere!

[arleen3]

I know it's not the problem but it's the tool to control people.The nwo control us monetarely. Most of our lives we have to work just to be able to afford home, car, etc. Things could be better without a currency I think.

[MuddleVanHeck]

Great video, Antony. I agree with what you're saying.

For example, we give money to China via the pathetic Wal-Mart corporation, and they in turn are financing the crisis in Darfur.

Excellent video.

[RevolutionaryJam]

Yes and your government is borrowing money from China every single day to fund your military presence in over 100 countries all over the world,

And then Bush gives a tax rebate and tells people so SPEND IT (not to use it to get out of debt or invest it in something which will suppliment their income and make it easier for them to live etc.) ... what are they going to spend it on? More chinese goods from WalMart?

[MuddleVanHeck]

Exactly! I have yet to see any real benefit from WMT's exploitation of third-world countries and their workers.

Bush has wrecked this country and our trust in any form of government. It's all a sham for the big players.

[RevolutionaryJam]

well, thank heaven, they have brought some wealth into that country and some lucky people have a bit better a standard of living and jobs unfortunately most of the wealth is repatriated to greedy people who spend it on more shares and land to charge people rent for so they can get more money off other peoples backs :| oh well, there's always hope

[johnhart30]

Great point. Wal-mart even went as far as to show a commercial telling everyone to cash their stimulus check at Wal-mart for free, thus filling the pockets of every foreign banker in the world.

The average American is 250,000 dollars in debt including their mortgage.

My stimulus check went right in the bank, where it will stay, not in the pockets of international bankers.

[RevolutionaryJam]

on the debt - sick!

thanks for the input :-)

[retlifwolley]

This is what the west has to offer the world and will try to develop this shocking reality of steeling the wealth of others in the name of freedom! What freedom? Freedom to steel?! People like you Jam will realise this sooner or later, because you have the good sense of trying to understand the reality we live in. The question later on would be if this reality is a platform for instability and a recipe of chaos, then what are the practical alternatives? (But that is another discussion)

[RevolutionaryJam]

thats a very good question

I think alternatives include getting our communities here at home self-sufficient, including energy self-sufficient, so that individuals have the wealth and freedom to go out there and help rebuild their countries which have been decimated by our ill-advised policies (see the side bar for Michael Parenti on "the myth of under-development" video it is great)

Thanks so much for commenting (and so quickly)

[retlifwolley]

Populations distributed on various lands will have to depend on exchanging their resources, for self sufficiency is not applicable practically, especially in today's divided world. The answer may be in finding the way to justly trade with each other to sustain our well being. However, it seems many will trade but only in their own terms. Then naturally, comes the question of conflict and enforcing terms. Justice is, in my opinion is peace, but who will accept justice?! power corrupts they say...

[RevolutionaryJam]

i mean self sufficiency in terms of the essentials of live (food, clean drinking water, housing, clothing and energy), not luxury goods.

Power doesn't corrup but corrupt people get into power because they have the ruthlessness to step over others in order to get there x

[retlifwolley]

In these terms I agree. I also agree that its corrupt people who spark these problems and create tension through which they achieve their corrupt aims. I also believe corrupt people will always exist and will compete with your way of thinking and will try to convince the masses to support them driven by fear or greed. Do you have a strategy towards these corrupt people who seem to be the problem in your opinion?

[RevolutionaryJam]

well u are really talking about the condition of psychopathy (consciencelessness). The problem with having psychopaths high up in government & business in the public eye, people see their behaviour & think of it as "normal" so in some capacity the copy it: ponerisation (the adoption of evil)

So the strategy would be to educate people to know that psychopaths (conscienceless individuals) exist & how to identify them. That known, remove them from power & positions where they can harm others x

[retlifwolley]

Indeed, educating people is a Nobel task and may help many understand and may take steps to try and change this reality to a better one. However, Smokers are 100% sure that smoking will kill them (as told by the specialists) but they never stop smoking until they actually encounter cancer or heart attacks. So, for these people education is not the issue. It seems they need a more profound motivating element that is more important than life itself. I think I Know this element.

[retlifwolley]

Although I agree that change will take place if the people wanted change, but unfortunatelly ,I think people are enslaved to other corrupt people in many ways and I don't think these slaves will have the power to change anything at all.How can they? if they coudn't have the power to freethemselves in the first place? how could they change anything at all!?..Thats why I think starting to free oneself is only the first step before freeing others..

[retlifwolley]

Removing corrupt people from power is difficult, especially when there are so many and those who call for correction are so few. However, I won't waste my precious life removing a set of political garbage from power so that another set of political garbage may take their place in power. Instead, I rather try and apply the principles I believe in to my life and the lifes of those who choose this way of life..improve the way I apply what I beleive and try to call others to do the same (offer)

My own strategy to fight corruption is to rectify the perception of how to fight corruption. The way to do that in my opinion is to deal with the bases of believes of the people. If people accept that they will be accounted for their actions they will consider very carefully, choosing the accurate, just, and reasonable choices. On the other hand, if they think they can get away with murder (which they do), then there is no way they will choose to stop for they beleive they are Gods not people
