@zdrux Within capitalism it's possible to achieve shared prosperity through equal opportunity (ie., a level playing field), a goal the U.S. began to abandon 40 years ago.
@TheForwardGaze No child left behind, universal health care, government schools, regressive patent system, Americans with disabilities act, welfare, etc... these are all "level playing field" systems which are ruining society and its freedoms. They are all new and are increasing each year, not quite abandoned 40 years ago
If anything, the further you go back in time, the more freedoms Americans enjoyed because there was no 3rd party acting as referee telling everyone what's fair
@TheForwardGaze Anyway, I'm not trying to convince you of anything or to change your point of view. Just outlining that the most free of societies are those are allow the individual to pursue their dreams in any way they want without the need to conform to any rules of fairness or limitations of social or governmental acceptance.. so long as they don't infringe on personal freedoms of others.
@zdrux The welfare state can be seen as a compensation for crony capitalism/state capitalism/the corporate state. We have the same goals--individual liberty--but different methods of achieving it, and perhaps different definitions of liberty. I'm open to both state socialism and anti-state socialism (libertarianism), as well as progressive liberal state capitalism. I'd also argue that the U.S. had more liberalism in the 1940s to 1970s than it does today.
It's funny that you used scenes from Minority Report in your film, since that story is about a utopian future in which all crimes are stopped due to "precogs" being able to see the future and prevent them from happening. The point of the film is that that is the worst kind of tyranny, where man is not truly free. But then again, that is just what "Progressives" want, absolute control over the population.
What about those who disagree with the "Progressive" view? What will become of them? We only need to look at history to found the answer to that question. Millions murdered by Nazi fascists and Communist Chinese, all in search of their own utopia. Any who were deemed a threat to Stalin's Soviet Union were slaughtered, like the millions starved in the Ukraine.
You do a nice job mixing videos but you live in a fantasy world. Progressive democrats want our idiotic govt controlling all aspects of our lives. A future from liberals would have no innovation not more innovation. Autos would look like the Communist Trabant not some slick new Lexus because it would be designed by the incompetent govt. You need to get out more in the real world.
@tylertyler82 Jefferson was born into a world that had known generations of slavery. He was of the generation that moved to end it. It had to end somewhere, so you are going to blame the last generation? The ones who worked to end it? Go ahead if that makes you feel better.
Thank you for the video. The theme is forward looking, holding on to Hope, taking action for a better day! Knowing that we CAN stop the racket of endless war, and, when we succeed, our wealth shall be used to create, not to destroy.
@mp4vids Where is my proof? Seriously? Google the names I listed and read their own words. Margaret Sanger, who started Planned Parenthood, admitted in a letter she wrote in 1939 that she wanted to "exterminate the Negro population." and that she thought they could use black pastors to promote her views because black people will believe their pastors. I didn't make this stuff up. Its all right there in history.
sounds like a good movie, reality is somewhat different than fantasy though I think progressives fall into the fantasy catogory, you know that can't see the forest from the trees thing.
Alright, I don't agree with the Republicans on very much, but this video looked just like a vacation resort commercial,. Regardless of politics, you have to admit it looks ridiculous.
@TheForwardGaze As a start you could watch my video (yes, I make them.) called "Heros of the Progressive Movement: Aren't They Great?" Sanger was still saying in 1939 that she wanted to "exterminate the Negro population". When exactly did she have an awakening?
"Shared prosperity" <--- Communism LOL

@bookhound63 "Progressive" is a vision for a better world, away from a world of unilateral control of wealth to populist control.

@tylertyler82 Bullshit! Progressivism is just another way for the elite to control the masses. It is just another form of slavery.
