I watched about half of it and echo the sentiments of Saladin and Cbsrf. His rhetoric is outdated. I tried to substitute his usage of Socialism and Communism to apply to a more modern idea but, it was all a diatribe meant to appeal to people of the same beliefs as he holds.
The 30 some odd minutes I watched, it's merely an "I'll say something, you guys laugh and nod. Then, I'll say something against this thing and you'll agree." I didn't feel like it really challenged any other ideas.
I am curious why you like it, Thelastwheeler. I would love to hear your beliefs and why you think this video is spot-on.

I'm interested but this is a fairly long video for what could be totally stupid.
Care to give a synopsis? The title didn't really impress me, maybe you can motivate me.

Bah, the video is axiomatic nonsense. Once I got to the socialism/free market portion I stopped.
He sets up an analysis of the world which is glossed over and not factual and then expects you to accept it as basic truth.
Even if we follow his useless continuum and ignore the fact that America hasn't leaned towards anything even remotely resembling socialism for the last 45 years, how exactly would we be leaning towards the Soviet Union or Red China? First off, the Soviets are gone and the Chinese are better at capitalism under a corrupt, authoritarian government than we are. Secondly, we just had a massive collapse of the free market model not but a few years ago. Did you keep any of that in mind when you watched this?
Sorry, but when something starts off like that, it doesn't get better later on. The name really did say it all.

You missed the big picture. Your review of something you didn't even watch, is ridiculous. His tactics and observations are the interesting part, regardless of his position.

His tactics? On what? He isn't the commander of an army or the leader of some organization.
His observations are dead wrong, just from the first ten minutes that I watched.
This may seem impressive to someone who doesn't know better, but I promise you can learn some far more interesting things from that "public school" you were hating on in your description than you can from this demagogue.
What exactly do you find interesting about this? It's a butchered analysis of a complicated world using outdated information which all ended up being WRONG.

Once again no matter how smart you think you are, you can not pretend to be informed on something of which you no nothing about. Inform yourself, then comment. Man, you look stupid. Watch the video or shut your mouth. Plain and simple, its up to you how ignorant you are. 10 mins? How did you even graduate? Favors?

I didn't say I was informed, but I don't have to sit through an hour of material to see its trajectory. Especially when it has some obvious Libertarian slant like "increasing liberty" while talking shit about "commies." You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure where the video's going, especially since it's decades old.
Unless that was the only dumb part of the video and the rest of it was solid gold I don't feel I have to keep going to a basic gist of what this guy is about and what his arguments are.
If I'm wrong, by all means, show it to me. But I'm not about sit through 50 minutes of this guy if it is exactly what I think it is.
And since the only thing I have to go on right now is that you're encouraging me to finish it, my gut tells me that I was right on, that it is nothing more than decades-old right-wing talking points.
I'm academically curious, I love to listen to new ideas and interesting thinkers, even if I disagree with them. But I also know stupid bullshit that wastes my time when I see it. And if the first ten minutes is full of shit, I'm not really inclioned to keep going
If it isn't and I'm full of shit, all you have to do is tell me what his basic argument is. You've already had three posts and it only takes about a sentence.

look, i don't care if you watch it or not. Judging by your comments I seriously doubt you could understand any of the video. It seems your emotions have blinded you to any level of elevated understanding.Your uneducated argument consisting of speculation has become tiresome. Good luck with your coloring books.

Watched 30 minutes. I too like hearing new idea's even if they conflict with my own.
I could see where it was heading after the first 10. Very charismatic speaker.
I have to agree with Sal. Sounds like your taking it personally and your emotions are blinding you.

Is that supposed to be a counter-argument? His post is two sentences long.
By comparison, this video's script would likely run at least 50 pages.
How hard is to say "this video is about X, the speaker argues Y, I agree with because Z."
Seriously, how hard is that? It's the content that's important and all content can be summarized to at LEAST a paragraph.
Why won't you do that? It isn't difficult and it would convince me to watch this video.
So far the impression I'm getting is that you won't tell me because his argument is as trite and useless as I posited earlier.
