Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring of Free Trade

[erasmusso]

If you don't want capitalism, what do you want? Socialism?

[craggb]

Tolkien's themes were meant primarily to address more general concepts of good and evil, creation and destruction, and microcosms. Meanwhile, the concept of mercantilism never makes an appearance in any of the books. In fact, trade is one of the most obviously under-developed concepts in Tolkien's world. I think you've more-or-less missed the point, and misappropriated one of the most profound and artistic epic tales of all time for a more-or-less impotent and hackneyed political gesture.

[GishabrunLOB]

Occupy Wall Street, All Day All Week!

[Eldeecue]

Vote Ron Paul! The Great Eye so commands!

[TheEznore]

dudes its a hilarious video why are we being political about this? & free trade capitalism is very much just a scheme to take control of 3rd world countries i'd say the video very accurately depicts capitalism!

[JDarach]

This is amusing, but it grossly overstates and understates vital things in varying degrees. Reality is not as neat and tidy as this charming little video pretends.

[espada9]

The movie was weak and didn't follow the books at all. Read one of the last chapters of the trillogy "the scouring of the shire" and understand its anti socialist, anti collectivist message. Coporations can not legislate law, government can. Souron was more like a dictator, a statist and NOT free trade minded ELECTED official.

[Adamguy2003]

@espada9 Of course it didn't follow the books or the actual movie. For chumps like the ones who made this video, the only books they read are 'The Communist Manifesto,' 'Das Kapital,' and Noam Chomsky's works which aren't fit for toilet paper, much less reading.

[korpiklaaniisawesome]

I disagree with your views of capitalism, it is a "serve yourself" system of economics and it ultimately works well. I'm sorry but Socialists have no place in the theory of Social Darwinism.

[SAOS451316]

@korpiklaaniisawesome Humans survived by banding together. It's called mutual aid.

[vpaiva3]

dont confuse democracy with capitalism, democracy is what gave us workers rights and the ability to form organized unions. Capitalism is trying to undo this

[josda1000]

@vpaiva3 See this is just completely wrong. Capitalism nor democracy can neither give nor take rights. They are within you, your freedom stems from your mind, your liberty from your property. You own your thoughts, you own your body, you own your life. Either you have "worker's rights" or you don't. And no, corporatism may be trying to undo it, but capitalism is just the market, and we don't have a free market at all. Please do some research. Scratch that... do a LOT of research.

[SAOS451316]

@josda1000 Please look up the definition of Corporatism. It doesn't mean what you think it does.

[TRBtree]

@josda1000

no dude, capitalism does lead to gross inequality and the ownership of all things through capital. supporters of capitalism such as milton friedman know this; they merely don't see it as a problem. i think that you are the one who needs to do the research. even if you want to be a supporter of capitalism, you have to know what you're supporting and be okay with it. the founders of capitalist thought know this. read adam smith.

[josda1000]

@TRBtree Milton Friedman would not say that capitalism creates gross inequality, but yes he would say that it leads to the ownership of all things. I've been doing research on this for three years. John Locke also would say that liberty comes from your humanity, not government, which is what my post was about. I said nothing about owning things. So when retorting, stay on subject, and if necessary, do some research as well.

[RightsReserved]

This is really funny hahaha

[Traitorfish]

Heh, cool.

[konf100]

As I come from eastern Europe, if I compare this video with former communist propaganda I see no difference.. If anybody does not like to live in the developed world with the free trade, there is nothing easier than to move to Cuba or North Korea and experience socialism himself!

[bjarczyk]

@konf100 That's a false dichotomy. You should know better.

[Rssika]

@konf100

Why don't you go live to glorious capitalist Africa or Asia from which imperialist countries extract majority of their clothes, consumer electronics, fruits, oil, raw materials and much more? You have not been in the receving end of free trade, so shut the fuck up about standard of living in socialist countries.

[CoolLegoDudeFilms]

Without free trade this country (America) would never thrive. Tolkien is too smart for liberal beliefs. You cannot compare his work with the idea that the free market is bad. He supported free trade!

[danfromabove]

@CoolLegoDudeFilms Tolkien's views are irrelevant here. His genius was his ability to write so broadly that his themes can be read in to any era's political issues (if slightly heavy handedly in this case).

[TRBtree]

@danfromabove dude, you clearly missed that it was a joke. a politically relevant and thoughtful joke, but a joke.

it's called satire.

[NixonisLord]

@danfromabove is right; Tolkein was a feudal, conservative Catholic who believed in unlimited population growth and was quite happy to tolerate feudal and other heirarchical structures.

[standardindexjoe]

@CoolLegoDudeFilms Define thrive... The Native Americans were thriving just fine.

Also without free trade the IMF wouldn't enslave poorer nations!

[Nizaris1]

Hahaha Good one! Love it! Down with capitalism! Down with New Imperialism!

[Vessol]

@Nizaris1 Corporatism/State Capitalism=/=Free Market Capitalism.



[Nizaris1]

@Vessol

and thus it means New Imperialism...Economic Imperialist.

[Vessol]

@Nizaris1 Yes, I would definitely agree with that. State capitalism is the engine of imperialism. But, as history tells us, all empires die eventually. And by their own means as well. It's convenient that Afghanistan is the place where all empires go to die. From Alexander to Kublai Khan to the British Empire and the USSR and now the Anglo-American Empire.

[Nizaris1]

@Vessol

Yes...but before it die, it create total mess first...chaos, and during that, history show us that ther are a lot of opportunists taking advantage. And everything repeat itself, the empire may die, but from the ashes, it live again...in new form...as long as human still corrupted by greed and lust...

[Vessol]

@Nizaris1

That's why I'm a Voluntaryist. You should look it up if you are interested.

[Nizaris1]

@Vessol

what is that? Anyway, in capitalist business, they always right, customer always wrong, take customer money first. Example, i buy broadband service, coverage suck, not like the ads, i make complaint, they ask my computer spec, BS. Then they ask me to use it at high coverage area, another BS.

[SyrahStormx]

The George W. scene cracked me up. ^^

[gukonni]

We should do our best to make sure people don't stay in government too long. There needs to be a continual stream of new faces in government to ensure it's fairly representative and not being extorted or used by malovent people. When I look at government, i see wayy wayyyy too many faces that have been there toooo long.

[gukonni]

So government is our friend, but only if it's of the people and its sole job is to use our collective knowledge (all people, not just rich politicians or big box corporations) to regulate our animal impulses which WILL put into ruin our world if we do nothing (just like in LOTR). When government fails, we all fail.

[gukonni]

One only has to look how sarumum and sauron treated the envrinment around them. They exploited it and layed it to waste. They used to fatten up their own wealth. We see this as evil, but to be honest, I see it as ignorance. I don't think people and corporations are greedy or evil, I just think they're ignorant. Governmentor councils are the collective knowledge of all peolpe, and they're meant to reign in our animal impulses (ignorance, greed) to maintain order and quality of life.

[gukonni]

If we do not stand up to regulate this evil (actually it's greed on the surface of it, but underneath it's just ignorance), it will eat away at the commons (earth) and over time lower our quality of life (instead of focusing on people as human beings corporations want to treat them as products, as numbers, as an Orc in LOTR).

[gukonni]

So, in my mind, the fellowship, rivendel, all of them, were conspiring to regulate the ring, the ring to rule them all. In our case, that ring is corporations that want to do everything the cheapest possible way, even at the expense of the commons (and the people). To stop this from happening, the people, in the form of a council or government, must stand up to stop it (regulate it).

[gukonni]

This is how I see it (funny video btw).

-We can go focus on buying the cheapest products and send jobs overseas. This will leave our lower skilled workers jobless.

-We can focus on putting everyone to work and spending the highest possible price since we're not buying products from other nations.

-We can find a balance between having domestic jobs and lower prices that're from overseas.

Finding the balance is the hard part.

[LordAlania]

Tolkien preffered the Traditional-Subssistence Ecomocic System. Due to WW2, I do not think he liked protectionism, but he did not like Free Trade

[DENO393]

anarchists may believe god,there is nothing strange about it.and this vid is classic

[scottyo218]

I really don't see how you can call Lord of the Rings anarchist when it depicts an obviously stratified class structure as a societal good. Without the mutually beneficial relationships of all the races, each representing a different class, Sauron wins. Sauron is defeated by a centralized, militarized state. The hobbits only drive the remnants of Sarumon's forces from the Shire when the returning hobbits, who have learned the ways of the "big people," provide them with a centralized command.

[proletarcccp]

@scottyo218 Its not anarchist , its communist . Tolkien wrote the book during world war 2 .

[scottyo218]

@proletarcccp I'm replying to this comment 6 months late, so I hope you forgive me. Anywho, I don't think that a reasonable argument can be made for LOTR being communist, either. As previously mentioned, LOTR depicts a symbiotic relationship between classes, while communism is the dictatorship of the proletariat or peasantry (Marx or Mao). Tolkien is extremely conservative, and those who try to adapt his writings to their own "liberal" political beliefs are grasping at straws.

[Adamguy2003]

Seriously, in the opening battle, the two sides should have been reversed: The elven/ human warriors represent the riot police (Brave, orderly, devoted to restoring peace and order and protecting the innocent), the orcs perfectly epitomize the Anarchist blac bloc freaks (Messy disorganized ranks, rotted teeth as a result of Meth Mouth, horrible smell, and devoted to spreading violence, carnage and chaos). Even the fighting tactics demonstrated by each side in the battle is proof of this.

[KommanderWill]

The orcs could represent anarcho-socialists possibly. But they bowed down to Sauron and Saruman. Tolkien's words on the Hobbits lead us to believe they were his ideal people(and pretty much anarchists).

[KommanderWill]

Tolkien was an anarchist.

Isn't is obvious?

The Hobbits are essentially anarchists, and they are peaceful and happy.

The ring represents government power. Lots of people want it, for different reasons. A major point is what they say "why can't we use the ring to destroy the ring(get to mt doom)". This is analogous to saying we can use government to fight government. But you cannot use evil to drive out evil.

You missed the point of the story by a mile, my friend.

[scottyo218]

The hobbits are the simple-minded peasant class who rely on the benevolence of the warrior class (Gondor, etc.) for their protection. He goes on and on about the right of Aragorn to rule due to his lineage. Tolkien was about as anarchist as Edmund Burke.

[Spenceheart]

@KommanderWill

Tolkien was invariably, NOT an anarchist. Tolkien was a Christian. Anarchists don't believe in God, let alone Jesus as the Christ.

[KommanderWill]

Anarchists don't believe in God? How does that make any sense?

Tolkien wrote "My political opinions lean more and more to Anarchy (philosophically understood, meaning abolition of control not whiskered men with bombs)" in a letter to his son. You can read it online, its also in a book "The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien.

I wrote a paper on this subject(anarchy and lord of the rings), and I can tell you that you have no idea what you are talking about.

[Spenceheart]

granted I am not aware of the quote, but one must take into account Tolkien's religious world view. As a catholic (I believe Roman C.), he would not adhere to anarchy in terms of these definitions of anarchy:

b : a state of lawlessness or political disorder due to the absence of governmental authority. b : absence of order : disorder <not manicured plots but a wild anarchy of nature —

But perhaps this:

1c : a utopian society of individuals who enjoy complete freedom without government

[Spenceheart]

Without Government, there is another kind of order however, and that is something like a theocracy, and of course the theological concept of "The Kingdom of God" which should be brought into consideration when calling Tolkien an anarchist.

[AzeriSniper]

Awesome!

[elijahstanfield]

Stop Stop Stop! you've got it completely backward. Tolkien was a admitted anarchist. The ring symbolizes government, not free trade. Destroy government...then human greed, in the form of corporations, will loose its powerful tool to control other men. Tolkien would roll over in his grave.

Let me guess. You would have the ring to do good, right? ha ha hah. Watch the movies again. You'll find that you are no Froto.

[SvenskSocialist]

NO Tolkien was not an anarchist, he supported Franco.

[psyche100]

Dude I think you have WAY too much time on your hands. And just as a side note for all the discussions going on, i'm a liberal AND i believe in free trade. Don't just go grouping people together, thats like saying all conservatives are a bunch of neo nazis, ya know?

[Garren16]

Thank you, it seems a few Liberals have sense.

[greenblacksnake]

Awesome! :)

[ddjohnpo]

You dumbass liberals are a bunch of f'n morons. Same as you enviromental bitches. so suck your precious cow dick and leave politics to people who know what is going on. faggots

[TravisCG]

Panzy =-3

[rocinante316]

i don't know who you mean when you address 'liberals,' but if you mean to suggest that this détourned clip in any way promotes liberalism, you're grossly mistaken. the philosophy espoused here is that of what is referred to by serious people as libertarian socialism (aka anarchism or non-authoritarian communism).

this has nothing to do with a liberal embrace of obama or clinton or any other world-destructive moron.

[videomakerorwatcher]

2:27 george W. bush Xd

[dankalmanson]

People really need to know the difference between corporatism and capitalism. Corporatism is the use of the states powers to seek their own intrest (which need a strong fascist state) while capitalism the the government protection of the individuals life, liberty and property. If you are going to bitch about our current economic state then you need to first get your definitions right.

[itscrunk22]

WRONG

[lilcrest]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO:)

[dennis13spartan]

Bleeding heart liberal bullshit

[Glassmall]

At 5:19, you went from sounding like an intelligent social critic/political philosopher to sounding like a Nazi: Gandalf wanted to leave the decision to Frodo free of any gross oversimplification. Unfortunately, you make it sound like evil will be defeated as soon as capitalism is overthrown.

Please consider the following: "Animal Farm" - George Orwell

"The Second Coming" -W.B Yeats

"Won't Get Fooled Again" - The Who

"Revolution" - The Beatles

"It Ain't Me Babe" - Bob Dylan

Read in that order

[elitegaurdain]

free trade rocks, you libreals caused this @@@@ crisis

[kolegamikolaja]

Dear Author: Please learn more about Tolkien and capitalism. The ring was the symbol of a state, socialism and interventionism.

[dankalmanson]

THANK YOU!!!!

[clough68]

Why ex-Socialist? yesterday alone stockbroker scum lost £18bn of other people's pension money on one company (Volkswagen). Why has nobody gone to gaol for this?

Put ten of them in prison (any ten will do, they're all guilty). If the haven't made stealing on this scale illegal, put ten law-makers in prison as well and chain the rest of them to their PCs until they put it back the way they found it.

Stupid? What6 in comparison to giving them £500bn of our money? How is that clever?

[pradrockz]

its coming haaha your all calling this bullshit now because your all fucking hypocrites wait till shit goes down and we have a one world government. WERE ALL SCREWED

[rage053656]

i knew it

[ComradeSephiroth]

As an ex-socialist I can appreciate this one. The second movie (Twin Towers) ends ominously: "The war in Iraq may soon be over, the war at home is about to begin..." With Gollum leading the youth (young voters) up Mordor (the Democratic Party establishment, perhaps? Obama 2008?)

The third part: "Return of Real Democracy" Coming Soon!

[dankalmanson]

Hopefully a constitutional democracy which sanctions mans individual rights. The importance of a constitution is so a majority can never vote away the rights to life liberty and private property (pursuit of happiness) of a minority.

[hapspir]

Wow. This video really has capitalism on the ropes. What's your knockout punch? The Teletubbies show us that money is the root of all evil? I am determined to restore capitalism in America. We have lived too long without it.

[xxemolovaxx]

genius.

[PwnMaster07]

his is hilarious, such silly bullshit, but still hilarious. Listening to Gandalf and Frodo and Orcs talk about Globilization and the Economy cracks me up.

[zerona1]

This was well made, and the parallels always ran smooth. I am no fan of communism or anarchy, but that doesn't stop the short from being really nice. The only problem I have is the last 5 seconds. That was really fucked up.

[AngelofMusic2006]

I smell bullshit...

[SpelledarenEdits]

Heh, fun angle. Poor taste in the ending...

[Adamguy2003]

That sucked, losers. Stupid, unfunny and inaccurate.

In the beginning battle, the sides should have been reversed. The riot police were like the human/elven warriors, and the violent, lawless Anarchist black bloc freaks were like the orcs(Hyper- aggressive bloodlust, butt-ugly, really bad teeth as a result of all the crystal meth they take, horrible smell) who sought to turn the city into a war zone.

Anarchy sucks, I'm sticking with capitalism. Shame on you for perverting a cool movie.

[eagret]

Dude, you suck. Free Trade is ruining the youth of asia with it's pompous bigotry and pastry sales. Fundraiser donations mean nothing when faced with the plight of ignorant sea turtles, dying of a lack of plastic in their diet. You obviously are a mormon. Go Die, Tard.

-Eagret

(p.s. Anarchy!!!!)

[spudster05]

dude anarchy is for people who still suck their mama's tit. U r an effing retard that is going to burn in hell forever

[eagret]

U obviously have no idea wut u r talking abowt. U freeking Queen u probably listen to A*Teens U Queer

[spudster05]

well excuse me for liking the A-teens. You don't know a good melody when you hear it if you don't like the A-Teens

[eagret]

I wasn't saying I didn't like the A*Teens. You're just being a stupid stereotypical dumbface with a big butt and a tiny ballsack

[spudster05]

my ballsack is average size

[eagret]

Bullhonkey.

[spudster05]

bullhonkey lolololol

[eagret]

Boloney! Hogwash! Madness, I Say!

[spudster05]

By The Hammer of Thor!!!! i love the A-teens

[eagret]

By Jove! Tee Hee I <3 Them Too :)

[spudster05]

and wats an eagret sounds like a gay fish

[eagret]

What's a spud sounds like a gay potato fag

[spudster05]

yea well i bet you have a potato named Variety you fag

[spudster05]

plus i hump sea turtles for breakfast

[eagret]

Ahhh, reminds me of my whaling days. For dinner I prefer eating dingleberries

[phoenixnyt]

this IS sarcasm, right?

[phoenixnyt]

ROFL

[1tephania]

Man this isn't funny. It's not too smart either.

[JamesDisaster]

People are free to set their prices as low as they want, yet supply and demand dictates the selling of a CD for $20 when it costs nearly a quarter to make. So capitalism's failure contradicts many anarchists' perceived premise behind anarchy. Capitalism's fine. We should not be trying to change the economic system, but rather the hearts of those in power.

[JamesDisaster]

It's interesting. Capitalism is really the closest practical economic system to anarchy. A lot of anarchists state that anarchy is based on the premise that all people are innately good, fore without established laws, the innate virtue in us all will influence our actions. Capitalism completely fails on any humanitarian level because those with power exploit those without it.

[wakeupturnurbrainon]

But you see, that's where capitalism and anarchy differ. Capitalism assumes that people inherently seek out their own self interest (which is true-see Adam Smith's explanation of the invisible hand) Capitalistic economists like Adam Smith argue that govt's proper role is to protect rights. But when it comes to the economy, the market sets prices & determine who does or doesn't stay in business. In every system where the government has tried to regulate the entire market, the result was collapse.

[artem101]

U fuckin idiots no1 wants this bullshit talk on youtube, i get enuf of this shit in human rights... christ people..

[cagriberksu]

brilliant work!!!

[wakeupturnurbrainon]

Yeah, who wants to be free? I'd much rather be a slave and let the nanny government dictate every detail of my life. After all, countries dominated by socialism and communism are such stellar examples of high quality of life for citizens, booming economies and low power distance.

gimme a break

[ladulaser]

As a Swede, I couldn't agree more with this, although you mean it as sarcasm. I much rather be ruled by someone I can vote away than by someone who rules me just because he has the economic power to do so.

[wakeupturnurbrainon]

I know I'm replying to someone who is proud to give away half of their income to a govt monopoly, but I'll still try. In a free system where interference from govt and bureaucrats is minimized, all you need to obtain economic power is knowledge and initiative. Currently, votes of the people are REGULATED. Sweden's and every other country's economies continue due to the fact that the marketplace isn't totally regulated (or in other words, there are still some aspects of "evil" capitalism)

[billysunerson]

FREEDOM IS EVIL! Down with personal liberty! Give your sovereignty to the government. For Big Brother is greater than us all. He will decide what is best. He will protect us! We need not think for ourselves! Together comrades, we can elect an elite class to decide what our best self-interest is. From each according to his ability BY THE SWORD, to each according to his needs THAT BIG BROTHER DECIDES!

You are deceived.Capitalism that violates principle is not capitalism. Punish only the guilty.

[EntertainedWatcher]

lol

[MrPinoy91]

the use of the wording is very easy to manipulate the minds of people you..

it seems like brainwashing or sublidmalmessaging.

[Ninthletter]

The depth of ignorance displayed in this video is nothing short of astounding. I am sorely tempted to attempt to educate you but, the truth is there is no winning an argument with irrational people. Just read Ayn Rand if you want to understand the truth about Capitalism. Mixed market economics is not true Capitalism.

[ovilleneuve]

Wow u r all freaking communist!!! Long live to capitalism and money guys!!!!

[NorthNightwatchmanJR]

Amazing and the video is not completely anti-capitalist its Anti-free trade and WTO.

[gingerkisses]

George W Bush at 2.29 - omg sooo funny - Blair could be one of the little ugly ones couldn't he lol

[lordpipen]

How dare you call Tolkien a communist. For if you eliminate capitalism and make everything public like you want the world will turn communist. Tolkien was not a communist. Actually from the sounds of it your a communist.

[BlackHatLinwix]

Eliminate the Capitalism!

No free trade, make rich countries richer and poor countrier poorer!

Free trade is leaving poor countries in ruins...

Let's do something!

[mikeysopha57]

Globalization isn't going to help the poor, it's just going to make them dependent on the power of rich special interests who loot their countries resources. Free trade is about as effective at equalizing decent living standards throughout the world as the Bush Doctrine is at jamming American-controlled and corporate-sponsored "democracy" (read oligarchy) down the throats of "our little brown-skinned brothers" in the middle-east.

[Superapplefrog]

*rolls eyes* You could do this with plenty of other films. Just because you can change the actual words doesn't mean you're right about the meaning. Though a world where everyone simply shared instead of trying to get rich would be lovely

[mikeysopha57]

True, Superapplefrog, but Tolkien did have an anti-industrial, pro-egalitarian theme running throughout the work, despite it not being a specific allegory for or against any one ideology. I think that's why this video is relatively effective, because it expounds on Tolkien's feelings towards the machination of society in general.

[Superapplefrog]

If I wanted I could show how Tolkien has a blind date theme running through the workd, a superman theme running through the work, or even a let's throw crap at people theme running through the work. You could apply the work to pretty much anything.

[GreenEggsAndSlam]

Bloody brilliant.

Thank you.

[Davamir13]

i think its safe to say that were just a bit good, despite my mind being too free to understand all this world stuff. kind of proves corruption, hehe, battle of seattle >_> funny stuff

[tubeafrochimp]

I don't know if you can really say Free Trade is the problem, or even capitalism. I think you have to realize that anytime human societies are split into different classes, the ruling class will create tools to oppress the others. US dominated free trade is one example. Russian Communism might also be considered the same. Don't get pulled into a Capitalism vs. Communism debate, cause the real issue is human welfare and class systems, not insignificant political ideologies.

[lordpipen]

You sound mixed up.

[tubeafrochimp]

Hmm, a strange take on my favorite movie, but what the hell, it proves that there are parallels between the struggle against Sauron and Capitalism, and that both might be drawing to their close.

[Nullifidian]

Well, if you're able to study something as profoundly useless and ideologically motivated as economics currently is, then you're not likely of the class of people whose resources are being privatized by IMF fiat, like water resources in Bolivia. Those who aren't insulated from the real world can tell you the problems with free trade by the dozens.

[Shad00wCrush]

I like it. It's inteliggent (lol, probably spelled wrong), and gives a funny message against capitalism.

[hikarinosakura]

well... an econs student here, free trade is not all that bad from what we learnt...? but since it's defined as exchange of g&s btw countries without any artificial restrictions

[KahuNui]

Well I enjoyed the clip as entertainment with a dash of food for thought thrown in to it. Can't say I've allowed myself to get as worked up as some of the punters though :o) - Thanks for the posting & entertainment.

[Xcalaber5354]

hilary clinton sucks

[UniversEEEEE]

Taalacus fuck you, why do you say that he is a pig, you're a fool of a salve who works his entire life for NOTHING, making the real bosses even more money, so fuck you and fuck communism and fuck capitalism and fuck all.

[Tallacus]

and waht would u rather have communism, capitalism may not be perfect but its better then communism go live in North Korea communist pig!

[fjafjan]

false question, its not like the options are "free market capitalism" or "communism"

[Pauluk33]

great stuff. This could actually happen, if you think about it, quiet scary in fact. as in how LOTR's depiks it

[mstrider80]

awesome stuff, gotta show this to my buddy david!

[ubentu]

whats wrong about the twin towers?...oh...right lol

[pENNYbOKI]

so true, so true

[bloodrunsclear]

I live in Seattle. The only thing WTO did here was wreck a Nike store (while wearing nikes) and mess up our streets. We almost hit a guy dressed as a giant turtle. WTF???

[MeLikeGuns]

Boromir the Liberal!

[MeLikeGuns]

Lol, I love conspiracy theories.

[GreenEggsAndSlam]

Conspiracy theories? Read a bit of history. Hell, read the papers. They aren't exactly hiding these things. Look up "Washington Consensus," "Trilateral Commission", "Multilateral Agreement on Investment," NAFTA's "Chapter 11," the WTO, IMF and "Structural Adjustment Plans", FTAA, GATT, TRIPS, CAFTA. Or just read "The Non-Nonsense Guide To Globalization," easily found on Amazon or at most major booksellers.

[dimitris0437]

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooood

hahahaha !! excellent! have you upload the twin towers??

Hats off to J.C. of the Bay Area (the real creator of this...) / His website is down ... but, it used to be passionbomb dot com ... the two towers sequel was there as well ... good stuff .. J.C. you jam econo, wherever you are - peace!

I'm not that much of an anarchist, but this is totally awesome.

[Bakuninite]

Good stuff....when is the twin towers going to be out?

Or was that just a joke, because it made me laugh.

Bloody brilliant! thank you.

[slavdude777]

I mean, its a little hard to believe that peter jackson had a second message when he did this. But the message is right, WTO, Globalization, ur very right my man and this is a very creative and ingeneous way to spread the message. Hats too yeah.

[whatsername2109]

omg its great!!! i luv it! its all true you're a genious. dude!!!

[PatriotikTraitor]

DUDE! That was so f#ck!ng cool! Hats off to you man, you're a genious. Anymore vids where that came from?
