  • Very boring

    This documentary is incredibly boring. Most of it is economic history. The sound editing is very bad.
  • Socialsm leads to communism - Capitalism leads to fascism

    This is one of the first major studies I’ve witnessed which show the correlation between capitalism and fascism. Due to capitalisms unwavering blind popularity no one would dare argue the dangers presented in the system. Corporatism, as defined by Benito Mussolini (the founder of fascism), is the capitalist far right version of far left political structure, socialism. “Corporatism is the height of fascism.” Too far often are fascism and socialism mixed together when in reality they are completely polar opposite forms of government. The wealth and inequality created through capital breeds the same concentration of wealth and power which brings socialism to communism but in this case from capitalism to fascism. Capitalism left unbalanced and unregulated by socialist programs and socialist economics inevitably leads to corporatism and fascism as depicted in this documentary. The United States has begun to see the transformation to fascism. The lesson in this being there must be a balance of power and wealth between socialism and capitalism in the economic system in order to become the driving force for a political and economic system. Thereby the balance between capitalism and socialism sustains success for the quality of life for the working class as well as the competition to breeds innovation. Brilliant message and delivery and it’s about time it’s being said.

    The American Dream is dead, it was a myth to drive more people into debt. Pay your debt off ASAP and live with less or the less you have to live. It’s over.
