French Newscaster Predicts US Revolution

Companies are allowed to fail in a free society, fraud and violating others rights is punished. But the failure of a company or industry should never be rewarded with bailouts nor should it be met with violence such as waterboarding.

Of the same ilk that said that The CEOs of AIG, and Morga Stanley should be protested.

CONGRESS and THE PRESIDENT caused this probem, not the free market, and NOT the CEOs (primarily)!! AS*H*LE that's what this socialist is..!

This guy has no idea what he's talking about and no idea what's going on in this country since he's in France. One of my communist friends told me that if a revolution is going to start in this country, it's coming from the libertarians, not the socialists. Commies are all talk and no game.

Yes, we are going through changes, and yes, the auto maker leaders have made some bad business decisions, but NO, we reject torture, and we don't blame the free market for our problems. If only the market could be truly free (from government intervention), where bad decisions were allowed to be punished by the market, and good decisions rewarded, then the correction could come and we could deal with it, and better products would come out of the market.

This guy is full of it. The reason Chrysler and GM are going broke is because they were giving their workers too many benefits. Assembly line workers make ~$70/hour with company provided health care and other benefits; they aren't profitable because they have ridiculous union contracts to deal with. As far as I can see, the reason the auto companies are in dire straights is because of a mix of outlandish auto-workers union contracts and bad management. Let them fail. Someone else will buy up the assets that are worth something. Someone else will find a way to make a profit with those assets. It certainly won't involve paying the new workers as much as the current ones are making though.

I don't know if he was pandering the socialists, but it's a pretty stupid argument.

… of the War On Financial Terrorism will increasingly read like 19th, and 18th century political rhetoric. There are many 20th century lessons to be studied as well. Each such period of acute turmoil involved class warfare as confrontation heats up.

In this context Max is, so far, minimal when his volleys are compared to historical models for his role such as Paine and Spooner.

Historically, he is in good company, and presently he will need more company, so grab your torch (in the hand that’s not carrying the pitchfork) and head to the sound of cannon fire.

On the shadowy fringes of smoke and conflagration we will need light.

It will be interesting to see how the growing unemployment plays out. They guy is right when he says we have millions of guns, but whether there will be a revolution, armed conflict or an all-out civil war remains to be seen.

The "Titans of Industry" haven't "turned" us into anything. You need to beware of this Marxist sort of thinking that pervades our educational system and society. It's not us vs the entrepreneur, it's not management vs labor, it's not rich vs poor - it's Liberty vs Tyranny. No business is capable of imposing tyranny absent State support. The GOVERNMENT destroyed the economy, NOT private business.

For Ron Paul supporters to continue harping on the "private banks" and "mega corporations" is ignorance that must be corrected by better education. It's the State that's at the core of all this corruption, not the other way around. Haliburton would just be another developer competing in the market if it weren't for massive government contracts and regulations that squash any semblance of free-market capitalism.
