@JFWilliam I agree in a sense but, I see it as we have One Political Party with Two Left Wings., one is Progressive Republican Socialist and the other is Socialist Democrat.

This explains why America has the largest absolute prison population in the world . Not just relative to its 300m population, but relative to the world. Even communist China, with 1.3 billion people, has less people in prison than America.
Welcome to the war against drugs scam ! The criminalization of pot is simply needed to fill the prisons & rationalize the private incarceration system & they get to destroy the black community as a bonus Business as usual !
In the USA, the prison system is owned by private corporations, meaning that companies make money from putting people in jail.
Its called the prison-industrial complex, and is just one example of how capitalism is yielding negative effects in America.
So leading industrialists funded public schools—at once gifts to the working class and powerful tools for growing a more docile labor force. They hired education reformers, like Stanfords Ellwood P. Cubberley, to design a public school system based on a Prussian method that sought to produce what he called mediocre intellects . . . and ensure docile citizens.
Cubberley modeled our public schools after factories, in which the raw product [the children] are to be shaped and fashioned . . . according to the specifications laid down.
Still, a public school system alone didnt guarantee a compliant population—not when intellectuals, artists, philosophers, and labor-union organizers still seemed to emerge from its ranks and so easily foment dissidence wherever they went.
nice vid, though eye agree in principle, here's my present pov: all governments are self-interested, better government is not the solution to bad government, having no "government" is the solution, Bill works for the corporations he hates and offers no real solution to the problem, other than better government, which is good for those interested in keeping governemnt "working for us"
eye have choose to ignore it as much as possible & it seems to have faded into the woodwork, even here in China
While your rhetoric may sound interesting in university halls & anarchist meetings it still boils down to NO REGULATIONS, NO RULES & NO REFEREE which is the republican, neo-con bull that made things worst for the ordinary man C-
BTW who can seriously proclaim that he is NOT working for 'the man' ?
dude, eye didn't say no rules, eye said no "government", if you need some one to supervise you, hire a dominatrix, if you need someone to provide services, hire them, don't elect them
& eye can seriously say that eye don't work for the man, haven't since 2001
Rules have to be drafted & implemented by who might you suggest ? Auto-regulated industry insiders as it is in most cases as Wall street to general debacle for the citizenry ? As for working for 'the man', congrad, but 99% of us poor rabble does, making you the outstanding exception ;)
Meanwhile...
Our whole culture is organized around wealthy people who keep poor people poor, uneducated, and powerless.

I see where your comming from, i disagree with some things tho such as legalising pot.. just so a generation can grow up with mental health problems and be of no use to society watsoever, also arguments have to be argued with hard facts if ther to be believable just cause u say a partys full of lunatics doesnt make it so

well done! While I agree with Maher most of the time, he sometimes gets a little "conventional wisdomy" on me. But this rant is perfectly tuned.
Nice vid.

Legalizing pot wont happen for 2 main reasons.
1# This economic black market is just too big to be destroyed
2# It keeps the industrial prison complex very happy & lucrative to the hilt.
Them pesky pot smokers are perfect fodder...
Welcome to the land of the not so free anymore ?
Welcome to the war against drugs scam !
Gotta keep them privately own prison system full to the brim, this is "free" market after all ;)
