Capitalism in Crisis? - Charlie Rose Capitalism in Crisis with geographer David Harvey & economist Richard Wolff
Top Comments johnmitchel1958 johnmitchel1958 1 year ago Charlie Rose is an expert at diffusing , diluting and distracting. This program should have been hosted by an intelligent, impartial host. Sadly, as long as PBS is corporately funded, you will never see it. After all, even our own government is corporately controlled.

A lot of people just accept their lives because feel they cannot do any better and want to have some little enjoyment. The investment in politics does not seem like something that is going to pay off for them. They do not really grasp the idea of democracy or what their rights should be.

Here’s a fair way to transition forward, something specific we can demand, protest for, and adopt ourselves! Spread it around! If this isnt the best answer, at least we’re thinking about what might be. What if we were really just this close to having it work right? Oh yeah, it's a Ski movie thing. “Occupying Chairlifts” on Youtube! /watch?v=q0l36xpEIBc Reply · Vote Up Vote Down dietsnapple89 dietsnapple89 2 months ago I like when journalists question guests, but Harvey was right that mccarthyism won because it helped create the taboo both Wolff and Harvey were talking about. Rose is looking at win/lose in black and white. Reply · Vote Up Vote Down terry beaton terry beaton 5 months ago I used to think Charlie Rose was a good interviewer. Lately, he just seems like an old hack who can't deal with a 'real' new idea. Reply · Vote Up Vote Down Ronnie Neuhauser Ronnie Neuhauser 5 months ago I agree. What we need to get back is our connection with the earth, the universe. We've become these isolated objects looking to only benefit ourselves in a system that pushes the idea of greed. You really can't cheat the universe, nature, in the end the destruction we cause will come back to haunt us.

The disguise it's what is complex because it gets people to forget they are just wage slaves that need to stop doing what the tiny minority of controllers tell them to do and start joining together for change for a better system for humans and all life.

There's no real argument to your comment. The world isn't all stellar intellectuals, but there are also many kinds of intelligence. I really don't see a point to your posts. They seem like some strange attempt to discredit Occupy, it can be used to discredit anything to the point we should just sit in a dirt pile. Ridiculous.

Wow, a recipe for disaster as far as I am concerned. I don't even understand what your comment means - that we shouldn't look to people unless they are in a certain class of intellectuals? Who decides which group leads? who do you shut out? That's not democracy by the way, or at least horizontal democracy. Hows representative democracy working for you?
