Continued speech from Author Michael Parenti speaking on "Democracy and Class Power" at the University of Hawai`i, Hilo in the fall of 2010.
This event was sponsored by Hawai'i Community College Student Government, the Student Life Council and Global H.O.P.E.
Doctor Adam Smith wrote that the STATE should protect everyone's property with equal zeal, and with equal measures.
Equal protection under the law is the principle of Free Enterprise, not from each according to his ability to each according to their need.

The invisible hand was not openly utilized by Doctor Adam Smith, the way the good Professor insinuates. Professor Parenti disparages “unbridled unregulated” competition, but does not mention that this is the exact opposite of our current ordeal of monopoly command economics. Doctor Smith’s favored term was avarice and he used it in distain, in alarm, and as a warning of things to come.

Why no mention of the God damn bankers? Printing up of all those little bogus scraps of paper is a child's sport such as football scores in next morning's newspaper. Useless as tits of a bull.
The mechanism by which dipshit know nothing neco-homo inbreed degenerate psychopaths plunder the planet even though they couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel, is because actually productive people can't see the fraud-theft.
Bankers mass murder & plunder ONLY!

"Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice." — Michael Parenti

Michael Parenti is a pioneer in truth-telling. Very few professors are actually as well-informed, thoughtful, and logical as Michael Parenti.
