RSA Animate – Crisis of Capitalism

So why don´t you find some relevant facts, so we can know what the real problems are?

Aren´t you just repeating the same reply many people have been giving for the last century? This isn´t about "Government", its about a sensible and logical solution to poverty caused by the use of automation, which has been shown to cause reduced employment offer the last 2 centuries, leading to a financial stagnation and high unemployment. You can substitute the word "Government" with "collaboration of citizens" - we are all citizens, we want to find a solution that doesn´t cause those who can´t find work to starve or suffer. Rather than people in this column spouting their opinions, what we need is facts; like:- in the 17th century 67% of the british peoples were employed in agriculture, in 2000 this was reduced to 1%. In the 1950´s 24% of the population were employed in manufacture (?), and in 2000 this reduced to 12% (?). Without facts we have no idea whats happening.

This video-lecture is about as far "off-base" as most theories on socialism and communism, which has never worked in any country, and eventually only leads to a totalitarian form of government control and takeover. Government has never solved anything, except create larger and more ineffective controls. From the 1930's forward in America, it's not that the USA has had a "wage repression," it's that the worker-class cannot afford the social-welfare programs of our big-government, thus taxes are killing the working class. Socialism is Utopian, and will only take us down the road to "serfdom."

Right. Don't listen to them when they say "vote for me it will be ok", instead, "vote for me and it will all be ok." Got it.

I love it when people lead others who aren't paying attention to false conclusions. That's kind of the real problem, and it's one of human nature not capitalist or anticapitalist.

Ay Currumba...! Love this...thanks for sharing Urooj :o)
