Same here. It's 4am, and this came on after watching cdrama. I appreciated his explanation of the "Clearings". I am saddened that I wasn't taught this in school, but did find out about it a few years ago. Such a tragedy. Destroying the houses so people could not even have a place to shelter.

Same here, fell asleep, woke up early morning and this was playing. Subliminal autoplay at work again.

Because here there is only capitalism: from our founding, now, and forever into the future. Any other mode of thought is 'un-American', as I have heard 3 times on CNN. In order to pull this off, they don't teach history either. We live in a giant feedback loop.

I agree with you. However, I think many of you ancestors went to America to escape capitalism in Europe.

Aristotele and Karl Marx can't listen because they're dead. It's not possible to listen, full stop, if you're dead. So, unfortuntely they're not likely to rise again. But well done for trying to give a metaphor.

Thank you for your insightful comment, Roy. You have really opened my eyes to the fact that Aristotele and Karl Marx are dead. You must have a lot of experience in dealing with dead people, since you seem to have the personality of a corpse. Maybe you should stick to what you know best, and leave the metaphors and the critical thinking to those who have a pulse. But well done for trying to be relevant. your literal interpretation of metaphors is as refreshing as a summer rain in the Sahara. It’s true, the dead can’t listen. But if they could, I’m sure they’d be thrilled to hear your enlightening commentary on the limitations of their auditory capabilities. Keep up the good work!@@royborrill2711

MORTGAGE BROKERS hire lawyers who do the first closing on mortgage. They state in first contract that you will be sold after 10 years and renegotiate your mortgage to the next part of your purchase with their "Associates" guarantee on mortgage broker-- NOT TAXPAYERS. If you have done your consumer diligence they renew you. If you have not enhanced their capital (pay more early on principal in loan from the beginning =increases brokerages cashflow and allows for increase in interest to new lower credit purchasers)or kept increasing consumer value your mortgage will be sold . Fanny& Freddie need to GO and let financiers do what Countrywide did for me. They were low fees, low interest. FINANCE and ACCOUNTING should be in curriculum by High school MATH. Teach Capitalism & Accounting for budgeting, purpose of Capital investment is NOT Flip that house. That is a STUPID ACCOUNTING EXPENDITURE for fast money. The usual culprits ,too few experienced trades people... carpenters, plumbers, electricians. Same in most countries. So you purchase a flipped house and lower the neighborhood pricing...shooting your neighbors investment. Americans should be taught Capitalism...Business...Retail... Sales.

Why do you apologize for something you have such limited control over? Apologies feel good but only solutions can make amends. Germany also self flagellates over Hitler. However, most people say would join the NAZIs. In a nutshell, if you take away food and jobs people will become afraid and angry. If your leader borrows money to feed and employ the people, that is a religious experience for them. If the leader scapegoats X (Jews) for the national problems, that fear and anger will run wild and be all too happy to punish (Jews, Uiegers, Catholics, the Bourgeoisie, Jan 6 protesters, Hillary supporters, Trump supporters ,…) and the leaders are all too happy to point the finger at them to get the ball rolling. Be proud of Germany and learn from the mistakes of the past. You can’t lay guilt at the feet of a future generation of kids without generating the same civil unrest and hatred that empowers the Hitlers of the world

Greece is not so innocent, don't be so quick to be hoodwinked by this charlatan. Look into his history. However, he is a smooth and articulate speaker because he knows economic history. That does not make him a good or honest person. In any case, as far as Greece goes, it was admitted into the EU on lax terms which were unacceptable in the first place for EU Membership, with poor infrastructure and corruption levels that did not qualify them for it. The Rothschild Dynasty is responsible for involvement of getting Greece into the EU and Euro currency, and Greece has been milking off the hard work and generosity of Germany and German Working People.

I just thought everyone knew money, law, property, rights, companies were not a real thing, just a lie we all believed. A common fiction, necessary for civilization. I didn't think it was something to be awkward over, at least with a group like this.

Mitza Paap - I do not argue that money is some conspiracy against the foolish. Without some form of common measure, we would be trading nails for strawberries and each deal would be different. It would be horrible with much starvation and deprivation. What surprises me is that the fact that this audience is somehow driven to nervous laughter when he says that money is a common fiction. Not common is the sense of pedestrian or some trashy pulp fiction novel, but common in the sense that it is shared. If we all do not believe $1 is worth $1, and there is no reason to beleive it is other than everyone else agrees it is, then money is just a fiction, not a common one. Even if the $1 is back by gold because gold is what we all commonly think it is worth. In the end, it is an imagined value that we all simultaneously believe in our heads.

Mitzi Paap But deregulation and speculation?

"In the end, it is an imagined value that we all simultaneously believe in our heads. " yes and it goes beyond money, "society is an agreed upon illusion" - Durkheim. that's sociology 100. If people do not agree on the illusion no society is going to work. we've agreed that dollars are worth something.

It's purely fear of retribution. She knows what the west did to the rest of the world are absolutely abhorrent, and she is desperate to not let karma find its way back to the west. Her desperation and ignorance and hate really reminds me of a Genghis Khan quote: “I am the punishment of God...If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” And she is afraid that China will be that punishment for the great sins they have committed.

Most '-isms' are bad words. Its great to have a governance model with qualities built by and for the working class, but social-ism has a rich history of dark and scary things all of its own making. Anything that has been distilled to an ism has begun the process of crystallizing into an island of thought. Good, fully functioning states of thought include useful ideas across isms, not adherence to one's dogmas. Theres a lot thats been done to control the working class, and a lot that could be done to fix it, but socialism as it will be known is never going to be it. In America we are already supposed to be a country governed of the people by the people for the people. It was celebrated across the world, in China, in Russia, but since then theres been a few unneccessary wars, a few assassinations, some choice subterfuge, a handful of traitors and viola the ruling class has largely clawed back its power as best can be expected for modernity.
