American (Predatory) Capitalism Explained In 130 Seconds
Now, more than ever, with Greece and Ukraine front and center, understanding how corporations take control of countries, and how capitalism drives the expansion of the Military Industrial Complex is crucial: "we have created a mutant form of predatory capitalism which has created an extremely unstable, unsustainable, unjust and very very dangerous world."

I believe that is because the Banksters don't want you know what it really is fascism.
But it really matters only to accademic eggheads, it is a class war and they are winning.
I think that is not the banksters but the leftists who wish to conceal the ultra leftist aspect of fascism.
Hence the enormous energy expended to locate fascism on the right and so to be used as a cudgel against the right who now become the "radical" or "far" right.
Thus leftist responsibility for the crimes of Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, etc. is hidden and leftist subversion can proceed.
Does not matter what form of governance you call it consider the trade...
Two parties trading offer something the other side wants.
Little problem now in a joined up world like we have now and accelerating you end up with only one trader "the global economy and USA dominated". Who the fuck you going to trade with? At that point you can see all the current strife, QE and all the other shit growing because a sole trader can't trade jack shit only guns and bullets work or outright robbery.
Then one thing the other side wants if you can find the other side! Soz mate don't need it thanks I kind of got all the gadgets I need and don't need anymore besides I have not got the money to buy it or I just don't buy the "tat" no more.
It is the fate of all social systems under the current fraudulent economic mechanism we have and nobody is prepared to admit it.
Where it does get amusing though capitalism, the juicy parasite like a parliament or congress love it because they can wage war to achieve their wants but the population is dumbed down and enforced to accept socialism. Gloves off, lets all be capitalist just like our leaders then we can become cannibals and spit-roast the politicians and provided you eat them it is all good capitalism.
Pacification of the masses using socialist mechanisms EBT's whilst practicing capitalist witchcraft QE!
Well done John Perkins.
After the Great Deformation of ex hitman Stockman, after the book of PCR "the failure of laissez faire capitalism", after Naomi Klein's "No logo"... we have this pithy reminder of Pax Americana's morph into NWO predatory empire.
I don't buy into all of Stockman's logic but his takedown of "our money your problem" morph from the BW Nixonian revoke days to Greenspan's cheap money poke and Glass Steagall repeal, and subsequent steroid fed outsourcing bonanza, I do buy.
Oligarchy power is now running inverted totalitarian world !
And it gets more and more dangerous.
As humans, we need to confront this threat and DEAL with it.
We need to remember that cooperating with evil, on ANY level, is a MISTAKE and it will ultimately come back to bite you.
So why we spend so much ink and time to explain how to American (Predatory) Capitalism works?!
When relationship with reptilian host is killing us…Free market capitalism has NEVER existed in the land called USA. It was merchantilism from the very beginning of all forms of non-native American government. Merchantilism is government formed to redistribute wealth in favor of merchants by way of legislation that creates advantages for them. In the early days it was land grants by new governments for already inhabited/owned places that hadn't filed a claim recognized by the new criminal gang in town that called itself "The State". Restrictions of this upon the colonies triggered the American Revolution. Merchantilism caused the War for Southern Independence, which was really about a transfer of wealth from the south to the north via legislated tarrifs. The Great Depression was caused by the merchantilist development of bankers becoming cartelized under the Fed in a coup d'é·tat that gave them unrestrained control of the ultimate prize for redistribution of wealth, money "creation". That spectacular societal defeat then led to another opportunity that was sold to the sheeple as needed for their security, WWII, which was really just another merchantilist opportunity for the banks to loan money created out of thin air to others who would use it for contrived opportunities to steal resources and commit mass murder on a historic scale (WWI was just a warm-up).
Never through all this was there free market capitalism. "Capitalism", was a good word, that those in control could not tolerate in its original form, which would preclude all the legislated advantages of their merchantilist system. The sheeple somehow retained the knowledge that capitalism was good, and this was okay for the merchantilists, as long as they could redefine its meaning to describe themselves. Some modestly aware people spotted the deception and tried to point it out with ineffective terms like crony capitalism. Meanwhile, the merchantilists were busy through their public "education" and increasingly controlled media causing revulsion and misinformation about words that described them much more precisely, like fascism.
Fascism is the system of government that cartelizes the private sector, centrally plans the economy to subsidize producers, exalts the police state as the source of order, denies fundamental rights and liberties to individuals, and makes the executive state the unlimited master of society.
Fortunately, the fascists are no longer able to hide what they are as they try to transition from "Brave New World" to 1984. Also, they've done us a favor by creating such revulsion for this brilliant word, fascism. So, we need to take advantage of this opportunity, before 1984 becomes an irreversable reality. Use this wondeful word, fascism, as much as possible and share the above definition nearly as often, optimally at a good learning opportunity with a new example of fascist behaviour at hand.
To secure our natural rights to our person, property and freedom of interaction, we need no government beyond the most local level, where people have the ability to assure it doesn't exercise tyranny over them. Anything beyond securing these three rights inherently violates them and infringes upon free market capitalism, which is dependent upon these natural rights. Remember this when the current centralized forms of government collapse in a morally and financially bankrupt heap. Even though it will be a very difficult time that follows, its essential to keep in mind that all of the agony will be caused by what the predatory state, in all its forms, did to weaken society through theft and causing dependency upon it. The societal pain will NOT be because of the absense of those parisites. Society will be able to best heal and sustain itself through respect of our natural rights WITHOUT centralized forms of government. We must do whatever we can to prevent the return of "The State" after its collapse.
In order to understand what capitalism really is, I recommend reading Murray Rothbard's "For A New Liberty" available free in text and audio at http://pure-liberty.org/Visions.html
Greed is a mental disorder and is a disease brought on by out of control capitalism.
I see it all day everyday. People in their 60's 70's and 80's with enough money for 100 families to live an entire life on and yet, still wont retire because they have the greed disease.
Greed doesn't retire until it dies, and even then it does everything in it's power to pass down the greed, it's baked into the cake so to speak.
'Greed' is inborn in humans, it is a part of our survival mechanism.
The stupid cannot fend for them selves so they follow leftists who promise to give them free shit.
The words out that the people are getting exhausted by eating so called "free shit" all the time, they love it so much they are now hating it, aint that right?
Retirement is not the goal of life.
Interesting how thsi article is preceded by one on the pitfalls of socialism in Vnezuela
Clearly they've both been bastardized from their ideal forms
Capitalism no longer is a fair and free market
And socialism is rife with corruption and abuse
BERNIE 2016
He gets it
Bernie is a communist and will expedite the leftists destruction of America.
We fail when we deviate from our path to reach a purer form of Capitalism .... we have lost our way .... and must find it again .... or we are lost for ever .... we have only used 10% of our Capitalist nature .... and we are going in the wrong direction !
'Capitalism no longer is a fair and free market.And socialism is rife with corruption and abuse.'
Perhaps it's time to adopt Cooperativism?
m.
LOL - oh my god, sure hope that is sarcasm. Bernie gets it..........wow
Good read.
Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq by Stephen KinzerGood read .... it was a cartoon video ?
"Predatory Capitalism" was a term coined by the left. Way to give it credance.
My crede (credence) is the American liberation of a sick socialist cesspool world !
Useless Snakes is the sick cesspool, Bozo
''Coming from Northern Europe back to the USA is like leaving the Jetsons and returning to the Flintstones''.
Socialist demented garbage .... wrapped in cartoons .... ready to be thrown in the trash can of history !
You are an idiot.
How do you explain the Banksters selling debt that can not be payed back. First making a profit by making the debt, then making a profit by packaging it and selling it to pensions, churches, then making a profit by SHORTING ("the bag of shit", by their own admision), then making more profit by getting TARP bail out, then making more profit by getting trillions printed by the central bank (the FED).
Explain that you moronic piece of shit. You scum bag of a thinker.
If corporations committed felonies and do not get punished for it, what other name than corrupted, fascist capitalism can you give it?
"we have created a mutant form of predatory capitalism which has created an extremely unstable, unsustainable, unjust and very very dangerous world."
Capitalism needs no adjective.
People trying to preseve something that shouldn't be preserved begin to add adjectives to make distinctions. Kind of like the old "communism is really the best system ... they just haven't done it right yet" argument. Or the "for communism to work at all, it must be adopted by everyone". Here they're doing that with capitalism ... which is clearly not performing to their satisfaction.
Let's start to keep track of these distinctions that claim "capitalism isn't being done right" arguments. Instead of just "capitalism", that requires "capital" to back trading promises, we now have:

I haven't had a good laugh this week until I read your post withglee. How about do me another solid for humor and tell us your profession.

I'm not sure what you're laughing about. Perhaps I should claim to be a stand up comic.
FYI: My degree is BS Electrical Engineering and took me 8 years to achieve while working full time and starting a family. While earning my degree I was doing real electrical engineering.
Once I got my degree I took a position in operations research specializing in logistics (both transportation and inventory control). That required learning to program simulations to test and prove concepts. That led to a profession in writing one-time-only computer applications to help a couple major fortune 50 companies deal with government regulations ... most significantly the price and allocation controls of the 70's and 80's.
In-house DP operations couldn't write a feasibility study in the time it took me to come up with two wrong solutions and the ultimate right solution. Mine was a sculpting process ... not a design process. There were too many unknowns and the targets were moving too fast for design.
I'm now old and retired ... living off the grid for 10 years. Turns out I wasted lots of time and money keeping up with the Jones' and being a proper citizen with the proper accoutrements.
Tell us your profession.

Just saw another one:
quarterly capitalism
Why can nobody make the distinction between Capitalism and Fascism (or mercantlisim, whatever you want to call it)? The US clearly has the latter, not former, as does much of the western world. Stop blaming a system that doesn't exist for problems that do exist. Capitalism is the recognition of private property rights, and the freedom of trade, enterprise, association, and markets. Only a true moron thinks any problem we have today can be ascribed to "capitalism".
Capitalism is the recognition of private property rights, and the freedom of trade, enterprise, association, and markets.
Does real capitalism require that I find a capitalist to back my in-process trading promises? The system we have today requires that and calls it capital. I can recognize private property rights and freedom of trade and enterprise association and markets without capital.
Spoken like somebody who's never worked in business; a confirmation of something that was already patently obvious. Stick with the engineering so you stop embarassing yourself.

I really wish there was some substance in your reply so I could address it.
"we have created a mutant form of predatory capitalism"
Then call it something other than capitalism.
The interesting and tragic thing is that this Economic Hitmen doctrine is being applied to the center, to the homeland, to the USA now. The U.S. since at least 2006 has been the victim of this practice. For example, people get FRAUDULENT loans : No job, no income loans (NINJA), by the banksters knowing that people can not pay for it. They profit gratuitously from it knowing that people CAN NOT pay it (as it was designed to be). Then, they profit by selling the loans to pensions, other countries, churches, and then they short the hell out of those bonds to profit some more.
Then they make the whole country and all of its tax payers bail them out by receiving trillions in money from the treasury, not to mention in trillions printed from the USA central bank (thus diluting the regular person's money).
Then they come and ask for their pound of flesh (just like the video mentions), asking that essential services that regular people receive be cut and taxed more, so that those bonds remain whole. They want cuts in education, sanitary services,city parks, national parks, sewage, street sweeping etc. , cause the debt needs to be payed. (yeah, yeah, it could never be repayed, but a guy has to make a disgusting profit).
Since the low lying fruit of exploitation was all taken, they are coming home to get theirs. Be ready and bend over.
A stupid video.
What valuble resource in Greece did the "predatory capitalists" force Greece to borrow money for?
The video was probably made by Saul Alinsky or Che Guevera fifty years ago. Then they just dub in the name of whatever Keynesian kleptocracy is going off the cliff at the moment.
Let me understand this - this economic hit man is now writing books, and giving them away for free to inform people of the evils he helped perpetrate, and he is using his ill-gotten gains to make amends for the evil he helped along? When he does all that, and isn't interested in just finding an easier way to make money like writing books, then let me know.
Lesson :
Those who live with sword will face sword.
Let the rest of the world unite , and drive out these American & their allies.
Quit United nations, World Bank & IMF these are all puppets of America & its allies.
From a separate union and drive out these vampires.
