"he says we still have slavery. Only where socialism exists could you begin to make that argument"
Actualy, we do still have slavery in American capitalism, it's called private prisons. It's where privately/corporately owned prisons, earn $30,000-$40,000 a year for every prisoner it incarcerates, plus they get to make them work for them for free. I don't know what you're definition of slavery is, but for me, when you take people and turn them into private property, that's slavery.

We tried that, we even backed it up with psychotropic agents. Problem is, no body gives two rats asses about space ship earth when they are hungry as all hell.

More freedom in markets has only made a few people wealthier. Not just in U.S. but in socialist and communist countries 2. Disagree? Check out some stats at: World Bank World Development Index, Statistics Canada, the English Min. of Labour & Soc. Security. Alan Greenspan - former head of the Federal Reserve spoke on it in 05. The bank owners own the world and if you think that is a good thing, then why did Jesus kick the bankers (people loaning money at interest) out of the temple?

the last time this sort of situation accured , was in france just before the french revolution. the masses of people always count in the end, weather poor or not

Actually, the United Nations anticipates peak population at around 11 billion, some time mid-century.
Regarding "exploitative" systems...
1) Human nature is not going to spontaneously change. Our nature is baked into our DNA.
2) Free markets preclude this presumed "dominator" model. More freedom in markets means wealthier, happier people.
Hence, this video's premises are silly. For example, he says we still have slavery. Only where socialism exists could you begin to make that argument.
