Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "Should Trump's Business' Get The Corporate Death Penalty?" video.
Not really the definition of fascism but certainly the definition of corruption. More interesting are the originalists on SCOTUS because they voted for citizens united which certainly wasn't what the original writers of the constitution thought which is who they claim to channel.

B G As an Australian I can tell all of America (and I have seen many others from around the world say the same) "Citizens United" is one of the stupidest things any nation has ever done in all of human history. Its a self induced malignant cancer that is metastasising into a nightmare not just for America but the entire World. If you listen to the most recent vid Thom did with Richard Wolff he remined us all that 44 allied nations agreed at Breton Woods in 1944 that the US Dollar would be the worlds reserve currency and how that works. YES - Breton Woods has been surpassed by other agreements, but the US Dollar remains the worlds reserve currency. Even though it is being traded less and less the stability of the currency exchange markets still relies on the stability of the US Dollar. Even though that annoys the crap out of many people we put up with it because it works. However with Citizens United certain billionaires are now going UNRESTRAINED on what influence they can buy. People like Charles Koch and Robert Mercer who have unusual views on how they should run America. See Thoms other vids on Koch & Mercer if you haven't. What those 2 are working on should scare everyone. If that disaster of a Constitutional Convention Koch wants goes ahead America as we know it ends. That would be incredibly bad for America and likely end in civil war and or the complete break-up of the United States of America. For the rest of the world it would also completely destabilise the currency markets because we all have money in New York Federal Reserve as Prof Wolff Described. Think of the bank rush there'd be if nations panicked and started scrambling to get their money out and what that would do to the NYSE and with it the other major stock exchanges.
