Governments are always evil and we should all live in peaceful little anarchist communities instead? Sounds like robber baron's wet dream to me.

The robber-baron's dream has been a reality for centuries sir, they simply have more weapons at their disposal with which to imagine the reality they are creating for our futures.

These videos have about as much going for them as the religious ones that disprove evolution by citing the banana.

Weak.

Thank you kevingrr for chiming-in-What fantastic star-system are you from, I'd love to know about the drugs available there and more insight as to the incredible knowledge of your species??

I studied English and Philosophy in school and have continued reading a lot of utopian/dystopian literature since. My familiarity with economics and economic history pales in contrast, but the close relationship with subjects I am interested in has caused me to spend some time and consideration learning what I can.

That said, when I see a video like this I lump it into the same pseudo intellectual/science/news that things like Bill O'Reilly, TYT, Kirk Cameron, Creationists and bigots bring to mind.

Why did I watch this? Well I'm open to listening to legitimate and informative critiques of socioeconomic systems. If they are particularly good it can lead to all sorts of follow up questions and inquiries. I get bored while i'm "slaving" away at work so I put things on in the background...

Then there videos like this. There are very few facts throughout the entire video. The analogies used are misleading. The terrible acts and downfalls of groups, individuals, or particular ideologies are often blown out of proportion entirely. There is no nuanced investigation, no insights, nothing but a self satisfied narrator with droll delivery.

Thanks for rummaging through my videos for dead links. I'll pass on using my downvote on this video.

pseudo intellectual=not university sanctioned thought??

Cry bigot
Cry news-bobblehead rant
Get yer college money back, they robbed you

"System" are born of control and no model to date has proven beneficial to but a small group of those who have, and of the rest who struggle to imagine-

Name the few facts you mentioned, elucidate on just how blown-out-of-proportioned the succinct statements you imagine are thus, forget the nuanced investigation entirely outside of what you instinctively know to align with your own apparatus afforded you through innate common sense and your experience in the world thus far.

If you're bored with your slave designation my advice to you is, seek professional help or a more righteous livelihood.

Life in this realm...everything but boring.

Perception is a motherfucker.

@kevingrr

while i will concede that the language used is inflammatory..is it really that much of a stretch?

do you get paid hourly?weekly?monthy?
were you aware that in the late 1800's the citizens of america viewed wage labor as being little better than slavery?

i forgot who stated "no man is more enslaved than the man who believes himself to be free"

so while i do agree that this video is making assertions but they are not exactly unfounded.
in fact i would submit,hyperbolic language aside,those assertions have some merit.

maybe you are just uncomfortable with the assertions?

All I heard was "governments created by and run by flawed humans are flawed"

@enoch

Currently I'm paid mostly via commission. I work for a small company where my boss/partner and I work completely independent of any management. I have in the past been paid hourly, biweekly, etc.

It is a stretch to call people slaves, livestock, etc when they are working and exchanging goods and services in a market like ours. Granted there are inequalities, manipulations, and individuals or groups who operate with little morality.

It is a further stretch to blame government for abuses like Abu Ghraib. If 11 or so soldiers commit terrible acts. Does that mean all soldiers are bad? That the government of the country they were from are bad? It just doesn't follow.

The speaker is confused about a lot of things. Democracy is a livestock management approach? What?

Statism is not an excuse for violence. Ignorance and intolerance are. Statism is a general term.

So governments are there to rule us and not serve our every whim?

No shit.

Every time I meet an anarchist I want to punch them in their face and steal their shoes. See how fast they cry for the police.
