Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "Cornel West BETRAYED By Harvard, Resigns" video.

If you go into the history of the neo-liberal era Harvard is one of the biggest problems the western world has. In trading on its "merit" it became a target of big money wanting to promote what big money wanted. Just consider how easy it is for ANY Western Government to promote something that has as its architect a "Harvard Graduate." I'm Australian and we have a perfect example of that RIGHT NOW. Our main river system the Murray-Darling has been privatized and the water is now traded in an American style free market. Its operation is almost identical to the energy market that caused the collapse in Texas earlier this year. The architect of the Australian water market is a "renowned Harvard educated economist" it was all highlighted by the German DW news channel in a documentary. I'd like for everyone to watch that documentary BUT YOU CAN'T as you can see because its been taken down. -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oyFRoxuf4g Why is it that a German documentary on Australia's water market has been taken down? Is it because how it exposed just how much of a disaster its been allowing certain market speculators to make insane profits while raising water costs to farmers by so much it has drive them from the farms their families have operated for generations? Almost NONE of what was in that documentary has been publicly discussed in Australia. It had interviews with farmers driven off their farms. It had interviews with market speculators who have made millions. It interviewed the renowned Harvard educated economist who set the whole lot in motion.

@anhiirr That's being said more and more often in various forms - "socialism for the rich and capitalism for the rest of us." In fact some are putting it as "rapacious capitalism." I fear that the next time ANY western government goes to bail out a rich banker that its going to erupt. It wont matter how calm and civilized a nation is. If pushed to far anyone can explode. What so many forget is that ALL OF US have ancestors who were brutal ugly killers who found all sorts of ways to survive and breed and we all have their genes.

@Gezira I wouldn't say capitalism is rapacious by definition BUT would absolutely say it is rapacious by practice. In the same way I'd say socialism and communism aren't idiotic or ridiculous or anything else by definition, BUT how they were practiced BOTH were certainly idiotic and ridiculous. Climate change is a hot topic and we often cite capitalism for its destructive ways, but just look at the damage done in the eastern socialist/communist nations. The Aral sea is just one example out of dozens. China has lost or severely damaged over 20,000 rivers. The main river that once flowed past Beijing hasn't seen a drop in 30+ years because of mismanaged irrigation schemes. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️
