Today Ralph Nader & Matt Gonzalez are calling for a 30 hour work week, just like Debbs called for the 40 hour week, at 50 hours pay. Debbs created the weekend. Debbs won. Now Nader will win for you the 30 hour week Nader is on the ballot in 43 states. Is He on your ballot yet?  Vote for Nader. Defeat the war monger Obama.

socialism, or democratic socialism can work in america. it just needs to be framed right. it'll be hard getting a platform with corporate media controlling everything.

the emphasis should be put on restoring "democracy". capitalism is nothing but a pyramid scheme, put in place by wealthy elites to keep everyone in their place.

This man got over a million votes for President, while he was in jail as a political prisoner...

@MacLeamh I'm sure Germany does think that mindless obedience to the state is patriotic. But look where that got them!

@KoreanKol -- This is a utopian vision. The "blended" socialist-capitalist economies of Europe provide for more freedom than any American will ever enjoy, But to believe in a utopia where "there will be no poor," is wholly unfounded and reflects some rather infantile magical thinking. America's violent culture isn't caused by political ideology, nor can it be blamed on guns. We are the problem. Our culture values violence and ignorance is regarded as a virtue.

@Praetonia -- In Amurika, all prisoners are political prisoners. I, too, once bought into the 'muricun corporate propaganda. Then the Army made the mistake of sending me to Germany, a country that figured out that both non-democratic socialism and non-democratic capitalism are equally repugnant. In general, the wealthiest citizens are grateful for their good fortune; paying taxes is regarded as patriotic. The top 1 percent are content with two or three homes. We have a fake democracy.

Secular religion. Abstractions like humanity or "the people" become gods. Also, cost exists. burn all the cash in teh world and launch precious metals into space. You cannot remove costs from reality.

Eugene Debs: If he was president, America would be a much better place today.

Debs owns

Sounds great to me.

Don't mix up the dictatorship of Stalin with socialism. Russia never had a Socialism.

As for there not being political prisoners in the United States, you may want to check again. I would suggest you start by looking up Eugene Debs, the guy this video was about. He was imprisoned for speaking out against the first World War.
