Man, she is incredible. So intelligent, so eloquent.

@imyy4upeople1 I've noticed that too, she coins words to sell books. It's a huge syphoning scheme. Something is eerie about having Naomi being a spokes person and building her career off the misfortune of others. Maybe I just don't like idols and generalists who amazingly know the details of lives theyve never lived.

A great book. Cudos, Ms. Klein. I know who the Boogeymen and Boogeywomen are today: The Tea Party. They scare me; I'm not prepared to depart from reality and live in their parallel universe. You should write a book about them and the money behind them.

@wiley789 taxes are high, but they get the revenue that they use to pay for said services from a sales tax, not an income tax. the average joe pays a much higher percentage of income than a filthy rich entrepenuer, but they get the same services. more importantly, sweden may have a working and efficient healthcare system, but they are very light on innovation and inventions. they get their healthcare products from other nations. sweden's socialism relies on other nation's capitalism.

@samm1809 hard to believe that your not a socialist then, you sound so pompous and arrogant, way too far up your own ass to believe or even consider other peoples points or view. And using nazis as examples is way off bat, sweden has some of the highest taxes in the world, but if you speak to swedes they are happy to pay them as they get services worthwhile from them. their standard of living right across the social scales are far higher than other "western" nations. speaks for itself

Congratulations, you managed to make three grandiose strawman's in one YouTube comment.

1) She was against the bailouts

2) She is against the wars

3) She is not a communist, if you read the new introduction to No Logo she considers herself a moderate "anti-corporatist" rather than an "anti-capitalist"

I've met Naomi Klein, she is an incredibly kind and dedicated person, and her books have some of the most refreshing ideas and attractive writing in the past 10 years.
