  • this video looks like it's from 1974.

  • Anti Capitalista!

  • I think I was born left wing. But the modern left has lost its way. Dr West is one of the only people with an ounce of common sense remaining.

  • He gave examples from 0:40 to 0:56. Remember, he's only talking about the 21st century, but you could apply it to other times...i guess.

  • I feel he could have been a bit more specific.

  • I love Cornel West, but let's not forget the many "rightwing" people of various beliefs who also stand up for justice-for example, Republican Ron Paul, vehemently anti-war and pro-Constitution, who has been highly critical of the Bush administration far in advance of the Democratic party.

  • sweet!
