  • 1 minute in: Globalisation is just a code-word they use for World Socialism. Any time you hear any media or government official talk about Globalisation, they are talking about a one world socialist government because that is THE plan.

  • As individuals worldwide suffer the consequences of yet more failed social engineering schemes concocted by "intellectual elites" such as this fellow, it is interesting to watch him pratter on and on about how smart he is and has been. His proposals, if you can listen long enough to glean them, are for more social engineering schemes.
    He is intellectually honest enough to mention the financial deregulations that led to the current financial crisis occurred during the Clinton administr More..

    • @trialdog "Intellectuals like him, who are immersed in thinking about economics in Marxist terms, cannot take that step simply because the answer to "why" conflicts with the foundational basis of their world view."

      Bingo. Cognitive dissonance provides resistance to accepting the obvious and real cause.

  • The Delusions and Fall of Global Socialism. Or how the Nazis had their asses kicked and the Soviet Union broke itself.

  • The London School of Economics (often called the LSE) is a very strongly Marxist institution.

    The LSE has been attended by many UK Labor Party leaders.

    The lefty-nutters are way too early in predicting the collapse of the USA (about 300 to 500 years too early). But, of course, in their usual way they'll be talking as if a future event has already arrived (this is called wishful thinking).

    ANYTHING, that issues from the LSE would be entirely suspect as conservative speakers are NEVER invited t More..

    • @MB-UK I listened to the whole mish-mash of garbled non-sensical lefty-nutter garbage and I REJECT IT. As does anyone sane and anyone not politicized, indoctrinated or born genetically faulty with left-wing genes.

      The British, but in particular the English LOVE Marxism, in fact it was virtually born in London with Marx's writing undertaken at the (old) London Public Library.

      You can be a lefty-nutter if you like. I grant you permission.

    • @MB-UK This is the most intelligent thing anyone has said on Liveleak. I see too many retards throwing around words like socialism, fascism and such without a clue what they mean.

  • Crony-capitalism isn't free market capitalism. In an environment of disproportionate taxation and subsidy, and regulation and government controlled money and interest rates, the entire economy cycles through booms and recessions as the economy engineers stimulate and "cool" the markets (inflation) to achieve stability and growth, when in fact they create instability, distortion, and malinvestment.

    Any free market capitalism is the attempt to create efficiency within the regulated bord More..
