"capitalist imperialists doing to Greeks?" WTF. The Greeks ordered and ate the feast and now they can't pay the check. Nobody fucked the Greeks accept the Greeks. Let them wash dishes!
If there's one thing this video CLEARLY points out ( and that I've suspected for a loooong, long time! ) is there's a left wing conspiracy against good audio.
@CusterFlux LOL!!! Yeah, dude wasn't close enough to his mic. I've seen so many videos (not just real news) where older people for some reason have a hard time holding mics to their mouth or getting close to their microphones. They must not understand how technology works or somethin' lol
this sound is terrible. was great interview but i couldnt hear it well. plus no subtitles. please fix the sound for the future. as for now im going to u website to see if u have transcript from the interview. thanks
How about we have a small government which doesn't force it's ideals on anybody and doesn't tax like crazy ? Always this nonsense about the government should have done this... government should do that... how about we let the government do nothing. Seems like a great idea to me.
@Thebeastcalledmydong Funny you say "let the government do nothing", 'cause that's exactly what the government did which led to the financial disaster! Deregulation of anything NEVER WORKS! Would you raise a child with no rules/regulations? You would if you were a terrible parent! So WHY would you want a financial industry with no regulations? Seriously, stop buying into right wing ideology; it's preposterous!
@nmryda Of course you need some rules to make sure people aren't scammed in any way and to make sure human rights are respected but pouring more money into something that will fail isn't exactly what I would call smart intervention. Why do we need to government to tell what we can or cannot do ? If a financial institution which is behaving irresponsibly the government doesn't have to stop them, the people can, by not participating with them.
@nmryda It's kind of silly in a way that we need to: step 1: elect somebody we like, step 2: let him argue for years on end, step 3: intervention comes, but not quite like we wanted. While we could do all that in one simple step, not dealing with the financial institution. We can govern ourselves, we can make sure the “child” wont do anything bad, we have the power to do it ourselves. This is what I call power to the people. And if you claim a society cant do that, then we are already lost.
Step 1: That doesn't work because the electoral college gets to choose who is president, not the people. We saw what happened in 2000 and years prior. There are videos on YT showing how flawed this process is. The system itself is the problem.
Step 2: Even if we do elect someone we like, they'd still be part of a corrupt system where money has heavy influence on politics. I highly doubt that politicians, esp.
@nmryda Agreed but if you send emails about these videos or petitions, even better protest, even better strike when others strike or yet even better strike when YOU feel something has to be done, i.e. if you are courageous, the amount of money the elite will have to spend to counteract your power will be so much much higher... Best case scenario: we all stand together and no amount of money/power they have can do anything against us... anything...
@sinekonata I agree, which is why I try to be active myself. The problem is getting OTHERS to get active as well. People who are comfortable in their cushy jobs, people who don't care about politics/social (in)justice, people who are willfully ignorant and the like.
@Thebeastcalledmydong (step 2 cont'd) republicans would just sit back and let any president change the rules to their detriment. Greed is very powerful in Washington.
Step 3: We would have to inform, motivate, and organize the people on a MASSIVE scale! The occupy movement is a nice start, but it's going to take MUCH MUCH more than that to penetrate neighborhoods and motivate people who don't care @ all about politics, social justice and the light. We got a long road ahead
@nmryda Yes. And because greed and corruption something that destroys the whole purpose of a government, a small very critically observed government with less power in both social and economic issues is desired. A free and informed public can make far more educated decisions then a central government would. That's why a education is the way to truly change something. Simply because if people don't fully understand why certain choices are made, they will be very susceptible to deception.
@Thebeastcalledmydong Only problem is that we don't truly value freedom and education in this country. People don't care about learning and actually knowing things. They just want to get rich quick, stay safe in their cushy $9.00/hr jobs, and/or focus on frivolous things like Jersey Shore or Keeping Up with the Kardashians. We have to find a way to motivate them
Don't worry the EU has a great new plan: THROW MORE MONEY AT THE PROBLEM ! IT'S ALL OKAY, THIS PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY IF WE JUST THROW ENOUGH MONEY AT IT!
No, Leo is also for democratising the government, so it is not like he is proposing fascism, or the kind of communism that existed in the USSR. Watch other videos by him and you will hear him explaining these issues.
Stock markets are not centers of commerce they are dens of parasites. The world cannot survive when everyone is a parasite. Some of us must produce things and if you want good things produced, you market parasites NEED to pay a good wage. I have artisan level skills; I will NOT work for slave wages. If you want slaves, move to China.
@jjcale1111 What an idiot you are. Not only is your knowledge of communism evidently superficial, but you also seem to disregard the millions of people that have died from colonialism, slavery and exploitation as a consequence of the capitalist mentality.
Stop trying to manage it. Thats the problem you condecending douche. The only controls we need are referees who have the authority to put billionaires in jail and break up monopolies.
Currently we have the opposite, JP mafioso and sacks of goldman controlling markets with software and corrupt lobbying across the board, collusion between so-called competitors (oligarchs and plutonomy) raping the people who no longer have representation.
English subtitles please. I know you say it's both in English, but it's really easier to understand with subtitles if you aren't a native, especially when this man switches from loud to almost mute within seconds.
@loopantenna but the person running the casino DOES get richer, as do some of the patrons so clearly it works. The difference: #1 no one's forcing you to run a casino #2 no one's forcing you to USE a casino. In a real free market you can produce & consume directly without the market DEMANDING you be a part of it. Without freedom you are marched in at gun point by the casino-owner (big corps, big government, central banks)
@loopantenna we don't have a global capitalistic economy - we have a global theft economy. If we had a global production economy with minimal fraud (we do not) then we'd have a global capitalistic economy.
@IC1101 the austerity measures being enforced are also Keynesian.
None of it is market-driven austerity+savings. All of it is rigged markets by central banks & corporate rulers. Stop taking from tax-payers (their land in particular, liens on homes) & stop raping their bank accounts (fees, fraud) & the economy WILL recover. Add production & it will sustain.
@IC1101 The people defending Keynesian are more aware of the faults then those who are against it. When shit hits the fan, they'll just blame it on something irrelevant i.e. A political leader.
@wyrwich being "more aware" of who to blame is not the same as being more aware of how to have a functional economy. TO do that you need to be rid of the Keynes model of nonsense
What I dont understand is this. When people say "bonds" or "debts' that these country's cant pay, exactly who do they have to pay this to? It seems like the entire planet is in debt, but what isnt obvious is the actual creditor. Who is the creditor exactly and if its just countries all owing one another why in the world are they just taking down the planet for a debt thay cant be paid in the first place? This seems to be more than whats just on the service with these crises
@TruthOverFacts The creditors are the central banks which create money out of thin air with a printing press then charge you interest to use their paper.
@Stringyheads Thanks. I seen that doc a few years back. I guess what my confusion is about is how in the world with all this information available to people we still have theses crises? Its obvious we need a debt jubilee and a monetary reform which isnt based on usury.
I just find it crazy how this is still going on. Then again if I think this is crazy then I should wait til the US 16 trillion debt load is called up to the plate. SMH.
@TruthOverFacts these nations claim they needed liquidity so they had to sell bonds. Central banks are big buyers of those bonds to prop up liquidity BUT actually solvency is the question.
Central banks, not nations, are owed (bought the bonds) with a few funds & individuals (forced by laws & regulations).
@TruthOverFacts the bond holders can investors, banks,corporat, other countries. these entet get money from pension funds, ppl savings ets. u dont start w the premise that u not gonna be able to pay back. Its investment ( the capital). thats how economy functions. otherwise its stagnation( money sittng under u bed not moving). no movement no life. the Like money from SS gets invested in safe American bonds(debt). if theres no debt theres no safe investment. its a problem.
Advice: go get a charming speaker. A hot chick or even a humorous male. Nothing against this guy but most founders, CEO, owners, etc understand that theres a person for every position.
There are more important problems that mankind is facing that can rightfully hold the weight of the term "Global Crisis",than currency state of certain continent or nation.
People only create crises
