Daniel Ellsberg: “They are reversing freedoms we’ve had since the Magna Carta.”

22. Thank you very much. I had never seen that document, its a very good read.

Notice in one of the concluding paragraphs, one in which he describes the essential elements of our uniquely US existance are essentially the same things we find to be most important in our society today?

Here is what he said:

"We in America already have moved very far indeed toward some aspects of state socialism, as the needs and complexities of a vast urban society require types of regulation and control that were quite unnecessary in earlier times. In some areas, such regulation and control already have seriously impaired the freedom of both business and labor, and indeed of the public generally. But most of the essential freedoms remain: private ownership, private profit, labor unions, collective bargaining, consumer choice, and a market economy in which competition largely determines price, quality and variety of the goods and services provided the consumer."
