  • collectivism is not really about socialism.

    even in this capitalist country we suffer the tyranny of religious fanatics who insist we believe as they believe. or else.

    if you think this is just capitalism vs socialism , you have missed the point.

  • Have you also overlooked the ACLU and other athiest organizations who insist that people are not allowed their freedom of expression, that a business must say "happy holidays" instead of "merry christmas"? Or "health reform" that funds abortions? What happend to the constitution? BOth Athiest and religious push agendas not just one.

    If you think I am simply talking about capitalism v.s. socialism, you have missed the point.  Read the title please.

  • you watched the video, that's all I asked, not that you agree with it, even though I feel the argument is absolutely true, and too many people have fallen victim to socialism whether via King, or "Comrade". I mean it took over 5,000 years of sacrifice, blood, tears, and genocide to establish the rights of the individual, and your individual thought...I just don't get how people in less than one hundred years since russian rev, have fallen victim to giving all those rights right back to govt

  • Capitalism is the ecology of voluntary cooperation. It is the only system that works for free individuals to exchange fairly.

    Capitalism is to individualism what socialism is to slavery. They are not synonymous, but they are inseparable.

    (Nice music choice, but it was mixed too loudly in contrast to the speech.)

  • A free America... means just this: individual freedom for all, rich or poor, or else this system of government we call democracy is only an expedient to enslave man to the machine and make him like it.

  • @EmptyBottleTherapies Well to be honest, when i watched this video i couldn't stop thinking that Freedom was sold before it was even created (as a concept) , America is fucked.. if i believed in a god, i guess now i would think his master plan is..allow a country full of stupid people to work until terminators are created by them, then they will all be wiped out by Terms because they can't run for shit.. not even free pizza and2 save their lives, stupid fat fucks, lol... in all honesty it sucks.

  • WOW! Amen! What a GREAT speech and what a GREAT movie! Love this!

  • "Collectivism often sounds humane because it stresses the importance of human needs. In reality, it is little more than a rationalization for sacrificing you and me to the desires of others." -Jarret B. Wollstein in The Causes of Aggression

    "Primitive communism ... once existed among all peoples and still survives in many uncivilized countries. All production in this stage of society is under the direction of chiefs or councils of elders. No individual responsibility exists." -George Winder

  • @VeritasAmantesVocat Your right we in America suffer from the tyranny of a fanatical syndicate masquerading as a religion known as Judaism. Rabbi's harvesting our citizen’s organs in New Jersey in an international crime ring including state officials, fighting wars for Zionist; Liberals, Neo-Cons, CIA, CFR. & Media with duel-loyalty, attaching Israel to America like a cancer to a body claiming the two are "inseparable" knowing loyalty to Israel is killing us, and our image around the world, etc.

  • @EmptyBottleTherapies It was kind of a joke. I should have said knife to throat. It would have been more literal. Y'know. Afghanistan and countries under Sharia Law?

    ". Gun to your head conversion? I think we all know where that happens."

    Yeah, in collectivist countries that employ an economic system called socialism and governing systems that all branch from marxism.
