Capitalism Is The Crisis (2011) (Full Documentary)
Edited on Wed Oct-05-11 08:23 AM by marmar

Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Q2aVnPP1C4


Capitalism Is The Crisis: Radical Politics in the Age of Austerity examines the ideological roots of the "austerity" agenda and proposes revolutionary paths out of the current crisis. The film features original interviews with Chris Hedges, Derrick Jensen, Michael Hardt, Peter Gelderloos, Leo Panitch, David McNally, Richard J.F. Day, Imre Szeman, Wayne Price, and many more!

The 2008 "financial crisis" in the United States was a systemic fraud in which the wealthy finance capitalists stole trillions of public dollars. No one was jailed for this crime, the largest theft of public money in history.

Instead, the rich forced working people across the globe to pay for their "crisis" through punitive "austerity" programs that gutted public services and repealed workers' rights.

....(snip)....

This documentary explains the nature of capitalist crisis, visits the protests against austerity measures, and recommends revolutionary paths for the future.

3. "Radical politics" is where 1% of the people get all the benefits and 99% get zero

Thinking that each person should share equally in the resources and production of ourselves and others is not "radical" it's just plain common sense. Capitalism is a ticking time bomb and the only question is if it will kill all life on Earth before we destroy it forever or will we grow the collective "brass ones" to take on this crooked system devised by thieves and protected by the self interested before then.
