This is strange, as I was just saying no one has questioned the system, The system is solid. Democratic captialism is the given, the best system there ever could be? No one is willing or able to try something else. But then when you think about it, what is a viable alternative? Capitalism is ingrained in us, we wouldn't even contemplate anything else. It's easy to point out the short comings are the current situation, the challenge is to think of a workable and practical alternative. Any ideas?
i dont like the bnp conclusion on your other video's (altho the gays policy i know where u r comin from) but you do have a few fair points in this video, and credit where its due, I like the man in a wheelchair analogy with the benefit system
BNP video's were just my point of interest at the time when I seen yours. If someone asks me to watch other vids on similar stuff then by all means I'll watch them. An i may have an opposite opinion about some issues but it dont mean im a total prick...I respect that you may dissagree with me. Anyway, no worrys
bourgeois democracy is a fig leaf that conceals the dictatorship of big banks and business. democracy is the cheapest way for the capitalists to rule, make the masses think they have a say but as soon as the workers threaten to take power from them, they will turn to dictatorship if they can. capitalism is not democracy.
The aggression that the secret industria-banking societies will use [via their installed marionette Western Government serfs] to keep their vice grip on people, credit, boom, spending, banking, inflation and ultimately, oppressive control of every aspect of society will be exposed for what it is, very soon.
Forget Political spectrum's guys, these people are Pure Tyrannical Dictators, all the mainstream Party's are the same.
This & next year will dictate the future of the Human Race. Keep safe.
what will dictate our future is when the working class take power from the bosses and bankers. so we can democratically plan production for human need, harmoniously with earth.
You couldn't word it any better my friend. It is pretty sad that people frown upon Marxism. In universities, professors teach that political economy is a weak arrogant discipline.The districts do all they can to keep political economy away from the chairs. This is because Marxism puts fear into those in power. It always has, and it always will. I personally believe that communism is the only solution to freshening things up again. Too bad people are to weak to embrace the facts.
If you don't get a job after a year then no more benefits????
How about: If you keep spending the money you steal from us on killing people NO MORE TAX!!!
That annoys me so much, I signed on years back & they make you feel like you're stealing from them, when in fact you're just getting back a tiny fraction of what they've stolen from you.
and theres no bloody choice now either, with the tories or labour, their policies are IDENTICLE. To think people kid themselves they have any choice in this country.
About Labours job thingy: This only applies after 1 year of being unemployed, they cut the benefits but do not stop them altogether and even they only apply the policy to young people.
This only applies if the person refuses a job or training offered to them.
well obv there a free market which would be a classic liberal definition where there is minimal state intervention etc, and a FREE market where there is NO state to intervene at all, i was obv talking about the first one. soz, there is no clarity on my definition in the vid, but i often seem to neglect minor details when i record these things. thanks for watching
Ah not a problem man. I just think there is so much state favoritism in the US as well as the UK that it can't be defined as a free market. Maybe state capitalism would be a good term I suppose. Here is my definition of free market. a process in which no voluntary actions between people are met by aggression, and said people are not shielded from recourse for the externalities they cause
5 stars btw...good video..though I can't help but wish there would be a video where you're not so angry or down...you always seem to be frustrated over something...
Look at Canada. Look at their healthcare system, and then look at the U.S system. Canadians have a single-payer government system. Everyone gets covered. In the U.S, private insurance companies rule the roost (the roost at capital hill it seems, but this may change in July), no government option to compete with, and only those rich enough to afford private coverage are covered. The Democrats are proposing a Government option to compete with insurance co's, which is good..IF it passes.
lol how did we end up with a healthcare debate here? maybe im just too tired to realise why, i didnt get to bed til 4.30am because of this stoopid video!
Why? Becuase it means they can get the health care they need. The Canadian system is one of the BEST. It costs LESS than ours does, and MORE people are covered over there...where as here..only those rich enough to shell out the dough get healthcare.
i dont want to come across as having some form of nationalistic pride here, but the british nhs, despite what i said in this video, is a damned good service. lol.
its far from perfect ill admit, but my personal experiences have been very positive of it, were it not for the nhs most of my family would be dead most probably.
Oh, yeah that may be the case..I just haven't looked into any other system to the same extent. In the U.S, we often use our neighbors to gage how we're doing, so I'm used to looking to Canada for alternative solutions..though I've heard that the top health care systems of the world belong to E.U countries..the scandinavian ones to be precise.
Canada's ranking is barely higher than the US's. France has the best rated overall system. Norway has the best of the Scandinavian nations. And no not all can get care when they need it in Canada since they have one of the worst systems. For all the faults of the US system, patents, corporate charters, subsidizes etc it has the best technology and specialists out of any nation.
They don't have "one of the worst systems." Where are you getting that from? The Insurance Company Brochure? We're not talking about technology or specialists..we're talking about the method in which people use that tech. and see those specialists. In the US, it doesn't matter how good they are if you can't afford to see them. Besides, no matter how much is "barely" in your book, Canada STILL has a better system..it's called a single-payer government system. Its better than what the US has now.
According to the World Health Organization Canada is ranked number 30 and the US is number 37. Their universal system is pathetic compared to places like France and Norway which was the only point I was making. It is important to include all the factors and why the US system is so expensive. It's easy to say everyone should be covered. However, you need to have a plan to have a functioning effective system. One which the Corporatist HMO Dems do not.
Yeah, so you realize what kind of system France and Norway have? Would you propose we duplicate this? The Dems are ignoring their Liberal base, and going with a "moderate" plan, by introducing a government option to compete with private insurers. This is good, but it could be better.
Yes they have a universal system. I prose a voluntary voucher universal plan. The state is a large part of the problem. It creates corporations through state charters. It helps monopolize ideas in the form of patents which decreases choices leading to higher prices as well as other interventions that hurt buyers. HMOs were even created by the Democrats, mainly Ted Kennedy.
Allright, I'll disregard that last sentence..but tell me more about your proposal...what is this "voluntary voucher universal plan"? Seems contradictory to me..but let's hear it.
Well you can have a universal plan without compulsion. I do not want any organization to have an aggressive monopoly on providing a service, especially the state. That way if it fails to provide an adequate service people can opt out of it and form a different one that actually provides what they need.
I would be of course for getting rid of patents, corporate state charters of limited labiality/personhood. and other statist interventions. People would have to pay a certain portion of their income or be taken in by a group or an individual to cover the cost for them to be part of the plan and they would have a voucher to decide which hositpial they wished to go to.
Yeah....except who would pay (through taxes) for the universal plan, then opt out of it for something else? Maybe just the super rich...so yes..you want a universal plan. This is no different than what the American Left wants. I don't know why you don't view people paying for this universal plan through income taxes isn't 'statist,' but I'm glad you realize that. So the government IS paying for our healthcare in your proposal. Am I missing something, or do we agree?
Those who wish to be part of the plan would pay into it. I am on the libertarian left. I am not advocating a plan payed through taxes. I am advocating a voluntary plan for mutual benefit not authoritarianism. Many of the super rich only got that way because of the state protecting monopolies in land, banking, corporate charter, patent, and other measures. Without the state gang they would not have such illegitimate, involuntary acquired wealth.
but in such a situation couldn't entrepreneurs form private security firms to protect the richs wealth (for a price of course) effectively becoming a new police force and part of a de facto state, and the process of exploitation and inequality could start over?
Well yes they could and as long as the police force was used to protect wealth acquired through voluntary trade it would not be a problem. It would only become a de facto state if it started to aggressive against others wealth that they acquired through voluntary trade or homesteading.
We need something. No job, no insurance, unless you can afford COBRA and it's $400.00+ a month. Unemployment is around $900.00 a month. I've bitched about this for years. If we can subsidize god knows how many countries and causes through out the world, why can't we take care of our citizens? You're right, it's good but could be better. At least it's a step in the right direction.
This is strange, as I was just saying no one has questioned the system, The system is solid. Democratic captialism is the given, the best system there ever could be? No one is willing or able to try something else. But then when you think about it, what is a viable alternative? Capitalism is ingrained in us, we wouldn't even contemplate anything else.
