I'm more interested in Dr. Harvey's early studies. I wonder if there are any videos in attribution to that time frame.
-
@vojtesKalab Yup, watch the beginning of the video. Actually, watch the whole video if you care to bother.

@amet1980 Isnt Harvey British?

@hjemkomst Sorry for the late reply. Yes I am serious. These are the facts: When people in a country are growing more and more in favor of "taxing the rich" in the name of fair share, you can come to the conclusion that they are not in any way capitalist other than claiming to be in name only. The problem is that the US is not a capitalist nation; it is a mixed economy. If we were capitalist we would not be in the mess we are right now.

What a tendentious fraud, ideology all the way.

@ClassAlex Now the same Stalinist thugs bankers now, running around praising free market. So basically, they dont care about ideology its about them being in power at all costs. They will make the decisions at peoples expense, go to wars to get more power. During Spanish Civil War, all of the sworn enemies Fascists, west, and communists became allies to fight Anarchist-Synd. in Catalonia

@ClassAlex I totally agree with you. Plus there was no proletariat in 1917. It was a peasant society. Revolution in 1917 was a popular revolution. BF Tsar was toppled there were workers counsils, collectives. many parties that resprsented their community. After the Tsar fell, Lenin and Trotsky used politics and repression to eliminate all of them, virtually paiting a dictatorship for Stalin. It was a power grab. New elite that think it knows better then anyone else...

As Americans we have been trained, from early school years, to think that we are all "middle class". Even those who MUST work in order to survive economically (isn't that MOST of us?) hesitate or absolutely REFUSE to think of ourselves as "working class" citizens. The Red Scare after WWI and the McCarthy hysteria after WWII were VERY effective in intimidating the citizenry. Most Americans FEAR any open discussion of Marxism and its relevance to modern American life. This is by DESIGN!
