You show a lot of promise, very few people of your age or any age for that matter can articulate complex issues as well as you did in that video. I hope you are involved in political activism, you would make a great student organizer. You have a bright future ahead of you if you pursue it.

You are right, we should be paying attention and fighting back!

Sometimes I think people fail to understand that fascism is still right below the surface in many, many places.

It always makes me feel good when I see young people who know what is going on in the world...
Keep up the good work.

I hope you stay. The great Thom Hartmann started his career by informing people, from his dining room table. His gracious wife was the "cameraman." You have that same potential and being so young, a future that hopefully is long. I hope you consider this and maybe even chat with Thom. He is a great humanitarian with the patience of Job.
When I contacted him about my uninsured Sister's cancer, he along with other DU'ers are the reason she is still here today. You have that same potential. Thom deals with our U.S. (mainly) predicament and spends much time in the abstract, educating people. Yet, he is always ready to roll up his sleeves and physically, "practice what he preaches."
When I say to you: "I hope you become a younger version of Thom Hartmann" it is a huge compliment.
Please keep on caring. We real Progressives need you and you can increase our ranks. Be honest and do not back down.
Best Wishes.

The EU was just patting itself on the back on how no wars in Europe have started due to the global economic crash and austerity measures. I think they spoke too soon.

First of all, this boy do not know what is saying. I am a Hungarian and fully support the current government. The FIDESZ which is a main party there won the election by 2/3 majority. The previous regime was horrible. Why? They were corrupt say the least.
The main predator banks and multinational companies ruthlessly exploited Hungary and that Hungarian regime (previous leftist, communist) helped them a lot meantime Hungary got into deeper and deeper debt. The IMF is a disaster !

The current boss Viktor Orban, imposed tax on the banks and multicorporations. As you can imagine now the West Europeans and Americans hate him, not the little Johns but the big banks and corporations. Of course, they can no longer steal, steal and steal. The government is watching.
The Jobbik Party is an extremist oligarchy and have very little impact on the domestic politics. So this boy cannot see the the real situation there. I am watching Hungarian TV everyday and know the history pretty well.

This video clip is a commie carbage!

Sorry folks from here you cannot see what is the reality there.
I am not a right wing guy here and read Chomsky and similar stuff so here the question is not right or left. Need healthy government control, otherwise the predators and parasitic investors ruin everything.

a single word AProgressiveThinker spoke. Everything you speak against the prior regime may indeed be true, but your emotional response does not refute a single point AProgressiveThinker made, nor does it make him a liar.

Please calm down, listen to what AProgressiveThinker said, and try again...
