All around the world? A few people watch this show, a couple hundred if your lucky. So your a liberal socialist we all get it man.

@TomJackson986

The numbers of viewers are made available by YouTube. RadioHogan has 919 subscribers. The number of viewers doesn't matter to me. I do it for joy.

What is your point?

[TomJackson986]

@radiohogan Your a joke, go ahead and preach your pro union crap, and believe in your head that you can fix the economy by going into debt.

@TomJackson986

Why are you so very angry? It's just a video with a few hundred viewers.

@radiohogan

They tend to be incredibly angry over another view point

The American bully is ever angry. Europeans listen and observe without anger.

lol well the state is 43% of GDP, so obviously the "war on socialism" is going about as well as the Iraqis' war on the US invaders.

The analogy went over your head. In a free market, you and your buddies can get together and do "socialism". The reverse is not true.

Yes, the advocates of "socialism" are getting killed. So are invading soldiers in iraq. An act of state is an act of war. I know you think your cause is just and you have deep, internally consistent and plausible explanations.

My grandfather lived in SE Pa. at the time of Homestead. Until his dying day he never set foot in a Carnegie Library and everytime he'd pass one he'd say, "Blood money built that."

The war on socialism by capitalism began when Oliver Twist walked up to the magistrate of the orphanage with his empty porridge bowl and asked, Please, sir, I'd like some more."

@TomJackson986 I haven't seen you anti-union crowd do anything other than wreck the global economy into depression and put the world on the edge of eco-disaster.

@radiohogan Europeans get in arguments too. I never understood why you always believed they were perfect beings.

@fringeelements "The black panthers want me to pay for 'white privilege' "

The original Black Panthers were about protecting the black community from abusive police and redistributing the wealth of society in a more equitable fashion.

Once again: socialism is not about you personally; what you have earned is yours. In a nation with such a lopsided distribution of wealth, things are bound to bust. People cannot live under these conditions forever. Capitalism is theft of the commonwealth.

[fringeelements]

And of course this is about me. The black panthers want me to pay for 'white privilege' - a phantom constructed to explain the failure of the civil rights vision after the fact. It's good that they get killed, they're racist aggressors. I know they think they're being oppressed, just as economic illiterates in the past thought they were oppressed by the jews. The black panthers HAD some legitimate complaints as well, so did the nazis, blaming their problems on versailles.

@fringeelements "There is a "war on socialism" in the same way Iraqis are waging a "war on america"."

In this video, Hogan is discussing the historical war on socialism, a war that continues today. Look at the many idiots on the radio & televison today using the word socialism in the only that it is allowed to be used in American society: as a prejorative term of mocking derision. In the 1960s FBI murdered members of the Black Panther Party, a Marxist organization. This is not about you.

@BrettDunbar "Socialism is Slavery!"

Actually, slavery, as an institution in America, was created by free enterprise, not by socialism. Socialism has never been instituted in America. Slavery is a function of free market capitalism. It is not, nor has it ever been, a function of communism or socialism. Capitalists enslaved and killed millions of Africans, an enormously profitable practice.

You're a liar, just as all capitalists -- by their very nature -- are liars.

Deal with it.
