im not sure where to put this because the first 40 minutes have been a very broad discussion about the threats to the human species survival.
he starts off right off the bat calling the republican organization the most dangerous organization in the world, which he says is an outlandish thing to say but then suggests people look at the facts. he says america is the only developed country not trying to reach an agreement about climate change, which plays into my theory that america is one of hte most corrupt + uncivilized developed countries in teh world.
after that he begins to talk about the other major threat to human species survival which is nuclear war. he goes into the history with north korea when it was completely destroyed by the americans. and then discusses iran.

capitalism is a system which makes a small minority very rich and very powerful and everyone else gets very little.

Why is it so difficult for you to post your own thoughts on whatever subject is being discussed? Is it because you don't have any or are unfamiliar with the issue and must rely on the thoughts of others to convey what you are trying to say?

nowhere special
i think government plays a role in suppressing workers, and ensuring the rich stay rich in both "capitalist" and "communist" countries.

China might be more Capitalist than the USA.
i was wondering that too, especially after the bailouts
The Chinese consider copper semi precious and use it as collateral on loans. They have many warehouses full of copper that, came out a few years ago, that serve as collateral for multiple loans. The fear was, and still a possibility, that a big enough loan could be defaulted on and the copper collected on it, leaving many other huge loans with no collateral. Whole system could collapse causing a worldwide collapse. So in regard to your statement, China has a long way to go before understanding and implementing a banking system that actually supports capitalism.

You're the retired one with all the time to play. Besides, I doubt @vantexan is interested in the first place. If he was, he'd understand for example that empire is now economics and law and not pure land control. 19th century models of power were overturned in the 20th century but one would have to read boring books and academic white papers to begin to rethink assumptions. The control of currency and what form holds hegemony, Petro dollar/global reserve currency dictates who, how and what will and will not do business. Gaddafi is as much dead for threating the power of the IMF on the African continent as anything else. To propose a Pan African Monetary Fund backed by the gold dinar was in itself a death sentence.
There is a start if you dare.
We influence, we don't outright control. How much we influence is in direct proportion to how highly we value something that affects our interests and security. But we aren't the boogeyman some try to make us. We try to open markets and trade, not dominate those around us like a Putin or Hussein. A very unusual empire. When you find your way out of the Matrix you'll realize it's all in your mind.

Americans more likely to be in high income category than people in 11 Western European nations. They are also more likely to be low income.
