Too much government-as-savior rhetoric. For the antidote see the video "no more free sh*t from the government" We must get rid of the Federal government and we must give up on this entitlement mentality. No more entitlements and no more Federal government. We must give them both up. States secede and break free.

NO-ONE needs this guy's idiocy ever again nor for the future. He's just another fool that justifies useless money & gov't while blaming corporations, banks & military. Yet again, another egghead that can't even see the stupidity he represents & doesn't understand the global efforts of the last 100-yrs to blame or even see the Communist Dictator Owners of everything he only now despises. He's just a do nothing debater that will also enslave the people unequally to patch failed total BS systems.

Those holding out for a utopia are more and more numerous. I think this worries mr. Hedges for good reason, because such people are very dangerous indeed. Another quote from him, which is hard to argue against: "utopianism turned into violence has killed more than any other driving force in history". The superreason of nazis or soviet marxists is just that, and it is seen in more and more aspects of society.

That being said, he also suffer under some kind of "Célineian" post-war perspective.

@WeAreChangeVictoria I think the problem with liberals is we tend to focus on all the negatives in the world. Look at America today versus American in 1850 or 1900. We have made enormous progress. The world will never be a utopia and anyone holding out for one will be sorely disappointed. I agree with your comments but I just think we need to have some perspective.
