  • If they truly wanted a free world they would be promoting constitutional republics like America NOT Democracy.Democracy is not freedom.

  • Both the liberal Dems And the Neo Conservative Republicans are evil forces.They both are liars.Some of them have good intentions but are misguided useful idiots at best.Don't ever trust the 2 sided coin that's presented to you.

  • This is why it's important to not get distracted or swayed off centre.The fight always has been and still is to this day between good and evil,between God and his nemesis.

  • The libertarian believes that the government that governs least, governs best. He believes in maximum personal liberty and minimum government coercion and intrusion in the everyday lives of citizens. The libertarian believes in small government, especially at the federal level, and not getting involved in foreign entanglements. He believes in personal autonomy, both social and economic.

  • There is only ONE RIGHT for (ALL) humans on earth and that is; the right to pursue your happiness and that particular right ends by realizing that you have no right to infringe on the freedom of others. So get on with your freedom as long as it doesn't try to control anothers life, and this goes for governments as well. We need to have the realization that each individual is unique with a different idea of what makes them happy. So, a message of the run-it's of the world "PLAY WITH YOUR OWN TOYS

  • Adam Curtis is a piece of shit propagandist. Idiots may be fooled, but I'm not.

  • @omegapoint777 Ya, spreading freedom? If only the goals were so noble.

  • Individual liberty (Freedom) can be used as the ultimate divide and conquer tool on the mass by those who are already in a position of privileged and power.

  • @lostpebble

    Fuck off.

  • BS gatekeeper stuff

  • 4:36 Haha from the movie The Prince of darkness.. a real good film

  • How anoying that guy saying yes yes yes on 11:00

  • I agree with Mr. Curtis conclusion, but there is a bit of an irony in saying:

    "Isaiah Berlin was wrong, not all attempts to change the world for the better lead to tyranny."

    while playing La Marseillaise just at the moment when they sing:

    "Qu'un sang impure, abreuve nos sillons"

  • Im too stupid to understand this documentary but i think it's great.

  • they talk alot about liberties but not much about freedom.....you are freeto do as youre told ...your free to choose from the choices we give you to choose from ..they only want you to think youre free but were actually all serfs playing monoploly with someone elses promisery notes of payment..if you ever do gain the power to buy and sell and not just trade then youll truly be an evil bastard.how gray haired do you feel now tony b liar,im sure confession will ease the guilt of the war from lies

  • so what happened to the punish ment of your party memebers then tony bLIAR when they got cought with their fingers in the money jar ,which no doubt you had also done in your tenure ....or where they all paddle slapped for it except for the speaker guy who was the easiest scapegoat ...tony if you dont want to lie then dont speak

  • the thing the aristocracy cant see is they think their wealth gives them intelligence and powewr ,it dosent it only buys them intelligence and power its not the systems that are the problem its the corruption of the ruling classes that are the problem...and a russian guy with an aristocratic english french emulated accent called isaiah berli.. if thats his real birth name then im mr.godfrey jesusman...revolutions once they do a 360 means your back where you started revolutuions are foolish

  • And in reply to the last sentence... The spanish anarchists can explain how not all ideas of revolution or liberty lead to a tyranny.... Only anarchism will allow to reach that.

  • They call freedom "Inspiring people" ??? huh?

    I have to change to fit the liberal definition???? REALLY?

    Not a good option. Any other choices?

  • Carrie soundtrack is used in this.

  • @Cuntface1979 I know...I noticed a few soundbytes I noticed...in episode 2 they use a few John Carpenter scores...the theme song to "Halloween" for one and the main theme for "Assault on Precinct 13"...I wonder how much the BBC had to shell out to use all those musical scores because as far as I know they're still copyrighted...

  • Documentary lovers ! check out my web site

    this project is 100% non profit

  • there is no truth, only chaos, any attempt at a defining a set concept of humanity will fail... humanity has to be flexible and able to self-evaluate and change...

  • 49:45 - 51:00 Economic Genocide of Iraq

  • 36:30 - 42:00 Economic Genocide of Russia

  • 29:00 - 30:00 Sound familiar to anyone?

  • It curious and not a little baffling why Adam Curtis felt the need to distort Isaiah Berlin's idea of Negative Liberty since the central thrust of the documentary could have stood without this distortion. In "Two Concepts of Liberty," Berlin defines and highlights the pros and cons of each without exalting or preferring one over the other. He only warns that both can be misused in the name of service to liberty. I urge viewers to read the essay for themselves.

  • I LOVED the series but this last episode was just a summary of the first two episodes. It didn't really present anything new.

  • im late waking up my alarm didnt go off.....

  • negative liberty only talks of the liberty for the small group living within the state, anyone outside is open for exploitation

  • posative liberty failed because they did not know the true ideology (islam) and they forced the incorrect one on the people

  • so this is why we are in afganistan, iraq, libya etc, to spread democracy, didnt think it was just for oil, opium, and control. and this explains "terrorism", keeping us in fear, negative liberty. We truly have all become zombies.

  • The Cromwellian revolution happend partly out of discontent with Charles the Ist more lenient attitude towards Catholics, the French revolution was partly anti-clerical.

    I don't think either revolutionary group was much inclined to turn to Jesuits for financing. Confiscating Catholic property however was something they both readily indulged in. So yes, i think you can view that as some sort of financing.

  • Very good as it goes, but Berlin appears not to have information, and so consider, that the French Revolution , (like the the British Cromwellian revoloution) was financed and led by Jesuits/illuminati/bankers

  • i felt like i'm a guinea-pig... cunning politicians and self-serving scientists interfering on the natural order and deciding on poor innocent souls.

  • This is so effective at drawing together different disciplines to explain the world we see today. brilliant.

  • A+++ Truly one of the best documentaries ever made. This is a must see for anyone interested and/or concerned about society and how we got to where we are now.

  • This is amazing. This should be required to be watched in school.

  • @Upgradezz For that to happen, we have to assume the educators even know about this. I doubt it, sadly.

  • Brilliant. This series should be watched by all.
