Comparing the US with countries like the USSR in its latter days or other Soviet clients who made peaceful transitions doesn't make sense. Conditions in those places as well as political institutions were a lot different from the US today. If the US does transition into something, it will NOT happen the same way.

[RidleyReport]

@juliaisafilmbuff123 No, I think conditions in the U.S. are pretty similar to those in the latter Soviet Union and late Yugoslavia...Ron Paul is playing the role Yelstin did at Moscow, playing the role Zoran Dindic and Milan Panic played at Belgrade. Yeltsin beat communism sort of, and the Belgrade opposition put the monster there back in its bottle...though I guess it will get back out eventually.

[PatriotsRepublic]

Oh yeah, and also, anyone naive enough to make the unsubstantiated claim that non-violent revolts have found 3x the success of violent revolts does not know history.... AT ALL!!! I think that she's a government plant in our midst with the goal of trying to keep us from rising up and throwing off the oppressor... they're afraid of us and so they get people like her to put up some cockamamie BS study somehow showing that we must follow the protest march model and allow ourselves to be beaten up.

[N2thedrink]

Look! I can't even finish listening to this stupid cunt. Tiananmen Square, nor any of the other events she listed, were bloody revolts. Yes there were casualties but not on the part of the oppressor.

YOU CANNOT COMPARE THE US TO OTHER COUNTRIES and expect to get the same outcome.

Violence IS the only answer. MY government damn well better fear me. Get off Chenowith's cunt already Dave! I'm usually tolerant and understanding of other ideas but this little kick your on reminds me of CNN.

[PixelDansIronFist]

Tianamen was a success?!! What crack is this guy smoking? 

[TheDeJureTour]

Horrible video Riddles.......horrible.

@5tevef Communsim has nothing to do with oppression and authoritarian rule. The U.S. is more communistic then the Soviet Union pricisely because it isn't oppressive. In a communist society, there is no government, with no government there can be no oppression from it. The Soviet Union was state capitalist.

@cwbyfan223 "thus their are no distinguishing characteristics between the two"

Only if you define "business" as "govt protected corporations".

I do not.

Rather, I recognize that using the coercive power of the state to violate contracts places the vested interests in the Merchantilist position which Adam Smith decried, since by doing so they violate the basic premises of Capitalism, private property and contracts.

[cwbyfan223]

@CurtHowland What I'm saying is that the interests of the buisness sector and the federal government are one in the same, thus their are no distinguishing characteristics between the two. All of the negatives of government interference you listed, were brought about by the buisness sectors and corporations the legislation regulated in order to protect them from competition. Capitalism falls victim to itself by sowing the seeds of it's own undoing.

[5tevef]

@cwbyfan223 If the US is more communistic then Russia how come we haven't seen people being put into 're-education camps' or gulags? The US isn't very close to communism as yet. It is getting closer but until millions are being killed because of their dissent we haven't gotten to Russia's level yet.

[CurtHowland]

@cwbyfan223 "I don't distinguish between..."

Then I'm sorry for you, because the difference is elemental.

Coercion vs. voluntary interaction. Force vs. cooperation. Destruction vs. production.

I suggest you think about it again.

[cwbyfan223]

@CurtHowland (continued) He hated Capitalism because he thought it caused us to live in an alienated state of existence, in which all meaning and desire is estranged from us and funneled into commodities. Which, when you examine our society appears true, we idealize material wealth and base the notion of happiness off of it.
