Independence from the Great Satan: The Stakes are High

Got international solidarity? Capitalists are vampires - parasites who view us as nothing more than livestock to feed off of and have dominion over.

Corporations have used the government and media as instruments to destroy the US labor movement. We must rebuild it. Organizing is not easy in a capitalist society. Since a capitalist system pits workers against each other, we'll need to learn how to cooperate rather than compete. Forming an organization, union, or cooperative is a first step.

During the height of our concern over the Iranian elections, Peruvians were being massacred in the name of US free trade interests. In what's been called "The Amazon's Tiananmen," Hundreds of indigenous people blocking Shell Oil from raping the Amazon were murdered by police. However, we were instead focused on Iran because they're the declared enemy of our capitalist overlords.

Still, I will give credit where it's due. If the traditional media was correct about one thing during their frenzy over "Iran's Twitter Revolution", it was their own insufficience. Unlike the dying corporate media, twitter and the internet in general have proved to be useful, democratizing tools. Never in the history of the world have the proletariat been so connected to each other, AND YET we still lack a strong global movement. The internet can either help us escape reality or transform it.

We must recognize our unique role as individuals within the international movement. As Marx said, "the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all." When individual workers thrive in the belly of the beast, they can enable that prosperity to translate to the entire global collective. As Americans, we hold a higher level of responsibility since our actions have the potential to dramatically transform the rest of the world.

We live in the Americas where the greatest disparity between rich and the poor exists, yet we are not class conscious. Americans feel more solidarity with Obama than with a so-called insurgent in Iraq.

However, when people push reform to the limit and government won't concede any further, they realize revolution is needed to dismantle that roadblock. Workers in America must come to that realization soon if international movements of the Left are to succeed. The head vampire must be killed once and FOR ALL.

wow this was great!

[farmingisforme]

not a bad video. youre missing a little but you got the right idea.

[GIspecialty]

@lordblazer That is bullshit. The top brains in medicine,enginering, business and finance come to the US. Why? Because they can make alot more money here than in some socialized system. Ya know? They call it capitalism. Thats the dirty word for people like you. So you listen to some idiot, like the one who is hosting this video, and think you have discovered something new. You cannot even remain consistent in your argument. Why? No depth to it. Typical of liberal thinking.

@GIspecialty

a lot of young college educated Americans have been moving to China because of the better job opportunities in China and the Asia Pacific region in general. Most people that come into the US tend to be those that are poor from poor countries. Very few immigrants come from rich countries, and are highly educated. The ones that do do so on temp visa work a few yrs, go home to a much better career. The world has changed. Your thinking is too old fashion.

[GIspecialty]

@lordblazer U are antiAmerican. Now who is being dishonest?U cannot hold a discussion of any relevance or common sense because your arguments are petty and shallow. Like a child you throw platitudes and absurd accusations around as if they are relevant or fact. The bottom line is that this is still the greatest nation on earth. Thats why so many people want in. How many people want into China? Or Russia? It is the West that offers humanity its greatest opportunity. Hands down.

[lordblazer]

@GIspecialty So you try to deflect by calling me anti-american? How so? What have I said that was anti-american? You don't have any credibility in my eyes only a troll will do this.You are being dishonest, and you do not know my life if you think it is stagnant then you do not know me or my life. Once you live through some of the atrocities I have experienced then you are on my level for this kind of discussion.. Please do not talk to me any further you dishonor the suffering. Thank you.

[GIspecialty]

@lordblazer You do not know anything which is why u rant the typical antiUS socialistic crap. U are a creation of a society where freedom is preached but not responsibility. Start thinking for yourself and stay away from these losers that post this garbage on Youtube. These idiots are also lazy and cannot think for themselves. So either wise up or live a stagnant life. Its your choice.

[lordblazer]

@GIspecialty

but don't you dare tell me that I don't know how the rest of the world lives outside of the OECD(which has quite a large number of countries where standards have increased). I've been there, I've seen it, and I realize the lack of power I have to really do anything about some of it. You need to stop being so arrogant. 

[lordblazer]

@GIspecialty

I've lived in other countries. some rich some poor. Yea compared to poorer countries we live quite well, but when someone is told to just die because their insurance drops them. Well you see where I am going at. The quality of life is not as high as you think it is, and is on par with some developing countries. Some of which I have visited. Also there are countless slums in the US. Not that many Americans are middle class. You can hid behind leave it to beaver BS if you want.

[GIspecialty]

@lordblazer Right. Go see how the rest of theworld lives youngster. Also think about why so many people from around the world want to come here. Your problem is that you are lazy. You actually believe your way of thinking is new. That is because you are ignorant due to your age. Our middle class is actually rich compared with so many other countrys. Wealth inequality is a term created by the liberal political machine to corral people like u Keep on thinking like that and u will never succeed.

[lordblazer]

@ph33rbenkthankslol

we don't have any mega unions. A lot of people think unions are so powerful, and yes some unions locally in areas that had this tradition usually are strong, but when I look at a country like Germany, and see where things worked out. I have to ask, but how come Americans do not consider getting ideas from other countries. I mean what they're doing now, not in the past 19th century. My God our thinking is too backwards.

[lordblazer]

@GIspecialty

too many authoritarians here in the US for the US to lend any meaningful progress towards humanity. You see Gila, you do not realize it yet, but people who think like you is the reason why the US has fallen behind on so many areas including quality of life and wealth inequality. You love supporting the current hierarchy. you enjoy the old folks suppression of new ideas. I am glad I am young, and I am glad to see my generation actually out there doing something. You spit on us F U
