Nice statement, not really "Marxist" or "Working class" however I think whoever wrote it may be a closet leftist trying not to scare the public from taking action.
What says you?

I say he's a reactionary obfuscating systemic problems for paranoiac conspiracy theories. These people don't know what the hell money or dialectics really are; they think it's some kind of Rothschild (read: Jew) dark magic out to destroy the world.

Eh, he's leaning in the right direction...
*click*
but only leaning is the problem. I think he fails to see the root of the problem...
*click*
like most people do...
*click*
But I think he's right when he touches on the fact that Revolution is a big deal....
*click*
A lot of people say they want it but don't know what kind of beast they're asking for...
*click*
Realistically I believe only a militant revolution will cause any real changes to occur...
*click*
and some people can't handle that...
*click*
My appearance may fool some but... I'm ready for it.

He's right on one thing: The Occupy movement will be hijacked by those in power who will then try to dilute the movement by changing it's direction.
The kind of leader the Occupy Wallstreet movement needs is.... http://www.newsinus.us/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/CHE-Guevara.jpg Or...

He's a Ron Paulite.
Banks, fiat currency, taxes--all the bullshit paulites care about.

I don't think he is a Leftist at all. I think he is actually a Right Wing Tea-Party Libertarian. Here is why I think this: He uses Clinton as an example of a "world criminal" when he should be using Right-wingers like Perry, Bush/Cheny, etc. He speaks of inflationary monetary policy, but stops short of pushing for a Gold Standard. But most importantly, he is subtly trying to discourage Leftists from reacting to the economic crisis, then puts most of the blame on the government itself (a teaparty function). He does correctly blame banks and wallstreet white-collar criminals for stealing from the public, while teapartiers completely avoid the subject.
Or perhaps he is a teaparty/OWS hybrid?

If it needs a leader, it should be one like this:

Or better yet this:

I've seen this guy on YouTube before. He makes a lot of good points and observations, however he does have a fiscally conservative bias. For Leftist politics, he isn't going to be of any use. He does make some good videos for survivalists, though he does give them a slightly paranoid flavor, not that that's a terribly bad thing.

Really? Why is it that I see the term Jew thrown around in a derogative manner on RevLeft quite a bit. Why do we assume all Jews are capitalists? I am sure you could find more than a few who are opposed to the capitalist system. We really need to stop using that term like that. We aren't god damn Scumfront after all. To the OP: I'm not singling you out. You are far from being the only person who has done this. Don't take it personally/

Where have you seen Jews thrown around as a negative term around here?:confused:

I've seen some people use it a synonym for capitalist. I strongly disagree with classifying any people as a whole that way. The statement in the post I was referring to just seemed mildly prejudiced IMO.

He was saying the creator of the video had those views not himself.:confused:

The 'taxes are slavery' types tend to be right wing. They are for exploitation so long as it's voluntary. Ie: You a being with free will are free to starve or to work for your exploiter.

Dude sounds like a libertarian. Says it is always wrong to take people's property and he's obviously against taxes. He's not a friend, that's for sure.
