Workers are essential, capitalists are not w/Maximillian Alvarez | The Chris Hedges Report

1. The war can end 2 ways
   1) if Russian spirit is crushed and West kicks Russia in its balls into going home. If necessary West was must carve it up to complete Russia's humiliation, or if
   2) NATO rolls back its imperialistic advance across East Europe towards Russia over the last 3 decades. Each advance was a well-planned nail in the Russian coffin.

2. Why do I keep seeing charts and reports that say the 1% pay more in taxes?

3. That what the Bolshevikst thought, and found out they were wrong. That's why Lenin launched the NEP.

4. God bless you Chris🇺🇸🙏👍

5. Who is paying for this?

6. Exactly ! a good janitor has more utilitarian value than a ceo . Janitors are essential for public health . ceo's do nothing and make millions and billions off the surplus labor value from the hard physical , technical , mental & scientific labours of employees, temps, freelancers, etcetera . "banksters" make millions & billions stealing pension funds and playing all sorts of games(which should be illegal) speculating other people's money, jobs and lives on the so called free market

7. This sounds like communism

8. THANKS BOYS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK SHOWING UP THE CORRUPT SYSTEM. ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘

9. Great video

10. The "great resignation" and the rhetoric used by most media outlets showed us clearly that many corporations aren't interested in people asking themselves, "is this what I want to do with my life?" These types of questions are antithetical to their existence. I wish more working people would wake up and smell the coffee.

11. South African postal service in provisional liquidation. Hmmmm? Legal implications?????

12. Good stuff, guys!

13. The trick though is without capitalists none of the modern world would exist .

14. In Canada all private businesses were closed down except essential services and government liquor stores.

15. Workers of the world unite. I heard that somewhere.

16. Productivity never happens by chance; it is always the result of careful preparation, dedication, and consistency. I thank God for my advisor, Yuval Eric Brokman; with his assistance, I am now financially solid, earning between $10,000 and $25,000 every week.

17. I don't agree with the anti-capitalist movement but some of my relatives do so I'm trying to understand why. Can anyone tell me what the best alternative is to capitalism? From watching the video it wasn't clear to me whether they were advocating replacing the system with something better, or just have the rich pay more taxes or earn less wages that would in turn be redistributed as higher wages and/or government wealth transfers to individuals. (Also, I apologize if the word "individual" is triggering)

18. Clownish Neo Bolshevik propaganda. Yeah, fuck hyper capitalism but also fuck Socialism and especially fuck Unions.

19. [ What is death? ]
    The Body
    We occupy and use
    Is a bit of

    We are
    Individual awareness
    Generated By The Body
    An awareness of
    Our own making

    It is the only thing
    Belong to us
    It is the only thing
    We can lose

    A Body Is
    A Sacred House Of The Gods
    One must not
    Ill occupy nor ill use
    If one prefers
    Not dying

    Death Never Is
    The Wish of the God

    Yet a death is
    The consequence
    Of the failure
    Of the one
    To appreciate
    To deserve
    The Efforts
    Of the God
    To Keep us exist

    The crime is
    To force unfair
    To others

    The criminals
    Shall meet
    The consequence
    Unless repent
    To be pardoned from
    The destined end

    The Body Stop
    Functioning
    To terminate
    The failed ones

    The Body Decays
    Back to The Molecules
    It is not
    The Body dies

    The Reality
    The Body Part
    Of the Eternal God
    Never Dies

20. COVID isn’t over. These workers are still struggling with multiple infections in addition to the mass disabling effect long term damage from COVID. Workers are struggling while banks are bailed out. Private equity firms are buying up everything from healthcare to housing and everything in between. COVID should radicalize people but the indoctrination and onslaught of disinformation keeps people divided and fighting over non serious issues such as Hunter Biden, drag queens, etc. instead of fighting for better material conditions.

21. Ouch, really hurts my ears to hear anything decent can be attributed to the Trump. Ew. Good for him, or his puppet masters. Whichever. I guess

22. Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other system. We are no longer a Capitalist country. Haven't been one for a long time. We are now in a crony socialist system where government is there to bail out their rich buddies. Marxism, socialism, communism comes from democracy. When people believe the lie that government cares and government will take care of you, they vote the scum in. Thus, a republic becomes a totalitarian leftist dictatorship.

23. Indeed, with the pandemic corporations were experts on the true heroism of their employees …
    just like Bush II was an expert on terrorism on 12 Sept 2001

24. From the get it was a "Never let a good crisis go to waste . Rahm Emanuel" Moment and then the fear porn which I'll bet caused hyperventilating people show up at hospitals and have tubes in their throats instead of paper bags

25. My caseworker spent two full hours straightening out my snap application as a self employed farmer. Two. Hours. Now that’s a hero too!!! I called the governor and told them how great this caseworker is. Please let’s take care of each other❤️❤️❤️❤️

26. Ain’t that the truth?! Nobody would miss a parasitic spoilt rich kid. But try to get along without us workers. Just try.

27. Worker Co-ops would go much further, imho, than unions would in solving the vast income inequality going on these days.
    Face it, some humans will always be greedy and tyrannical, that's baked into the species.
    Only way to guard against our own weakness is to create systems that value virtue.
    If the workers own the means of production, have an equal say in how profits are utilized and an equal stake in the business, then it would be far more difficult for a few to take all the money and run.

28. Gig jobs never sounded like a good idea to me; I could see the tyranny coming. Imo, Gig Jobs should be illegal. Constantly settling for less while being forced to give more and more is a sucker's deal.

29. This man has the persona of someone we'd all like to know!
    
    THANK you for your MOST ELOQUENT delivery of the news IN ENGLISH, and, at a pace we can HEAR the details!
    
    Thanks Max.! No hype, no over -sensationalized NEWS.

    Yes, , the Fake Administration of Gangsters has employed a few intelligent gangsters who know exactly what they're doing, and whose " plan " they're following to meet their agenda. Howdy Doody and the Witches in the Wings!
    
    "Nobody got killed" in Palestine…Ha "-a blessing in disguise ?" Nobody's been diagnosed as sick or deceased
    
    …Y E T, will be the real news.

30. false dichotomy- capital and labor need each other and each has their place

31. Not sure capitalism is bad. Crony capitalism with politicians and corporations connected IS a HUGE PROBLEM. CEO PAY being grotesquely out of step with WORKERS WAGES throws all the economic calculations (ie: prices are too high so we must reduce workers wages or hours) out the window. CEO PAY must be legally limited to a certain multiple of a company workers hourly wage.

32. I worked for a corporation, and I found no morality, so I quit. I worked under a union, and I found no morality, so I quit. I worked in academia, and there was no morality, so I quit. Then I became a wedding photographer. As an individual, I could do business with morality. I am a landlord now, and it is a very good job for me because I can also maintain morality. Workers are not generally rugged individuals willing to take risks. Workers often claim to be trapped when they are not. Why do lefties always consider workers victims? I do see some victims.
    Everyone currently involved in agriculture is bound to the corrupt Commodities Market, and they have great difficulty escaping the Stranglehold.

33. The front lines are in war. I'm tired of the rhetorical Malarkey being done with language.

34. There is no "REAL" Capitalism in much the same way there is no " REAL" Communism. It's time to get serious about the facts.

35. "confront our own mortality, like never before."
    that is some deep stuff…
    I mean I thought SARS, Swine Flu, Influenza, AIDS or any other flu that has happened in the last 40 years would be something that would really help us reflect on our humanity.
    you Max are a dunce, a thin brained dunce, you have no thoughts and are a walking mouthpiece. fearmongering old people and fellow dim-wits.

36. Brilliant discussion on how economics really works. I feel you exposed the major flaw in Milton Friedman's economic beliefs. You pointed out that without power a person continually creates way more value than they are compensated for. Friedman misused the meaning of "Freedom" and "Choice" by claiming that the worker had his freedom and choice to agree to work for the wages agreed to so the contract was "Fair" and "Just". In the real world a person only has Freedom or Choice if they have power. Without power they are easily exploited. It turns out that Friedman was able to pull off this sleight of hand because in Western Culture "Freedom" and "Choice" are defined as "Being left alone". In the Real World just being left alone isn't real freedom as in the real world we are constantly interacting with people in society. In that social interaction there is a huge element of power. The more powerful person, in a given situation, usually is able to to enforce their will over the weaker person. True Freedom and the act of choice are achieved between individuals only when both have equal power.

37. I have a question. Knowing that diversity of thought is a good thing makes this a bit of an odd question. I have come accross the Laborers Union 79 and while I am glad that they have a union, I am curious as to what is the thought behind constructing buildings that will benefit those workers and their families, it may also destroy the lives of others when false envionmental impact reports are filed. I live in Stockton, CA. Walmart is building the largest distribution center in this city. There is a ton of shady goings on behind this issue, but my biggest concern is that there is a huge polluted corridor here in that area already. There have been multiple programs being pushed to improve the air quality in this corridor that includes Interstate 5 and hwy 99. A train hub as well as an airport. I understand the need for work and support unions. But if they are helping to create more issues it makes me question whether they don't consider these issues or if there is an issue of infiltration. Its just a thought, but having been a part of Occupy amongst other titles I do try to pay attention to some of the more questionable actions taken in regards to organizing. What are your thoughts on this and I don't want to destroy their union. How can we help this union to make decisions that will benefit them as well as for the greater good of the people who reside in these areas?

38. I spent 15 years as a union member. Over that period of time, my cumulative raises were around 3.5%, despite great performance reviews. And when I finally had a serious dispute with my employer, it took my union almost a month to even return my calls.

    Workers need better representation than what my union dues bought me, I'm sad to say.

39. Most crushing words I have ever hear. He said if wages kepts up with worker productivity, then minimum wage would be 20 an hour. But its actually 7.50 because your stolen from!

40. California received 86 billion for essential worker pay for the State Workers who worked during vivid.
    They redirected the funds and nusalini claimed to have an 86 billion dollar surplus. Now it’s all gone.

41. Without capitalism we all live in poverty

42. The most difficult part is setting aside our differences and working toward a common goal. Folks from all political affiliations will have to sit together at the table and have this discussion.
