such a day is the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of the author of the communist manifesto karl marx to say that his ideas of class struggle and the overthrow of the ruling classes by the workers were hundred maying divisive here well that is beyond understatement marx's ideas were truly at the root of the ideological division between east and west germany post world war two but that's not stopping his place of birth tree in the south west from hosting a series of events to mark his big birthday bash.

them said to get a better society we should follow socialist ideals however it is worth noting that in the same poll around the same number said that political systems based on the writings of these two were far more likely to be oppressive i asked the people of what they thought those mosques have a place in today society and politics so when it comes to politics like maybe you use it to get votes but it's now very early like that ideology and it has never been practiced so it doesn't exist and not only like about. economic inequalities but also other types of inequalities that could be used like they could use marxist theory to be examined in today's culture capitalism. seals labor from people or from the workers. from from our point of view. it's still important to you that my dear is not good but it's nice that you
5:36 pm
take in reality things in the differently at marx's funeral in london in one thousand eight hundred three angles said his friend the greatest living thinker has ceased to think well that may well have been but two hundred years after his birth the ideas put forward by marx continue to inspire others to think peter all of us. and we heard from philosopher and cultural critic for a lot about how karl marx and his works are understood in the modern world is that we all heroes here almost this fame is very ambiguous you become a cult figure out a week means people don't really starve you don't preach review and so on and so on marx to prevent him as an idol not only doesn't take mark seriously but also avoid confronting bookish problematic in mosques his description of the movement of
5:37 pm
global coffee. the growing between the poor and buried and so on and so on need to very act but the context is totally different he was. right in the wrong way marx obviously didn't have well elaborate fiore of state power he thought state is such as take just a second diety superstructure thinks really happened in economy already in the soviet union it was prudent if things don't work like this state place a much stronger so different stuff today. to be a critique of marxist to focus on problems which are going to get that by marx like their own state power economy itself. slow voice you're sick on karl marx second state in america could be about to have their schoolbooks swapped in favor
5:38 pm
of ones that highlight the history of the l g b t community we're not after this. global economy is so tightly wound that these sanctions don't work but that is because the supply chains are completely overlapping the what is sanctioned in one country drives economic problems and another country that you're not trying to sanction so forget sanctions or spell longer workable that the global economy has to come to integrate it too fragile it's too. interdependent.
5:39 pm
putting lives by two things by his emotion and he is. in the long term he placed a very long lead he says so to speak of long distance rather than politics and that's the way they underestimate. your back with our key international schools in the u.s. state of illinois might soon have to change their curriculums to teach more about the contributions made by the l g b t communities in american history the work all figures will be given more focus in subjects ranging from science to sport california made a similar move last year the bill still has to be given the go ahead by the states house of representatives but it's already got plenty talking it will promote
5:40 pm
acceptance and a more accurate portrayal of history it is in direct contradiction to the clear christian beliefs of many in illinois we invited media commentator gina loudon on human rights activist peter tatchell to offer their views. it's very important people understand the contribution that gay people of made i think is about informing straight kids so they understand bt issues. their prejudices broken down if a history book or any book whatever write about me personally i wouldn't want them to leave with my religious background my ethnicity and certainly not my sexual orientation fantastic extraordinary people from tchaikovsky to richard the lionhearted their gayness or their bisexuality is not the major factor but it's just about acknowledging that l.g. people have existed throughout history and have made a very important contribution to the sciences the arts sport and culture well i
5:41 pm
think in an effort perhaps to be inclusive we've made a mistake and a miss estimation if you will and what's happened is that a lot of groups have been taken advantage of by politicians who are willing to prey on people based on those identities i think that. identity politics has been a response to exclusion because of decades of exclusion and marginalization some communities of how to organize it hasn't worked and what it's done instead is it's divided us up into little groups that then can be taken advantage of by politicians and jews right we don't want to be typecast about the fact that we're jewish or gay or black those are just one aspects of who we are but in some cases those are the aspects of who we are which other people target for hatred and discrimination my concern begins and ends where government gets involved in deciding who is relevant
5:42 pm
who's not relevant who is more relevant and then dividing us into little groups because when government has enough power to do that they also have enough power to take that away. worrying the closer adopting the traditions of another culture is. not often seen more offensive than flattering especially if reactions on social media are anything to go by one recent cultural appropriation targeted at a teenager who posted a photo of herself in a chinese dress artie's online series in case you missed it got to grips with what's going down. and yeah. oh you are. a young girl just enjoying high school prom no in case you missed this picture is the moment that civilization went just too far. cultural appropriation or appreciating stuff
5:43 pm
from other cultures may seem like a completely made up full bloom the kind of thing it's not worth. but are we really going to believe that innocent young the traditional chinese dress just so she could look nice when angry guy on twitter who had never met and probably shouldn't be looking at strangers social media feeds her for us when he said my culture is no no goddamn problem for us mr angry is a chinese american named jeremy lamb who one would expect would know a thing or two about mixing culture is if we don't all pretend to be outraged right now where we're like as he is of this world stop we will start to eat chinese food as if it a new thing when they start using goods made in china in everyday life china's culture is not your god damn i said what about indian children a attitude from the simpsons he's going under the radar for thirty years but is now
5:44 pm
finally being criticized by one guy who can't just take someone from another culture and affectionately turn them into a much loved pawns of the most successful show of all time groundskeeper willie scotland how are they getting away with that so how do we stop this before we end up in the nightmare scenario where different cultures learn about appreciate and accept one another start with your say no to inappropriate appropriated styles cut it all off shore boldness risk ernest's but what are they going to do speak like your grandma speaks snoop dogg's grandma front you dress. it's just not worth the risk you gotta stop it if you know india and you stole it democracy and elections and stuff like that tough the greeks want it back how can you confuse that's russia's. really there's only one option that will make us happy segregate
5:45 pm
culture is build walls and stop sharing ideas or just drink a cappuccino in a camaro and see if they can take it. ok let's go to france where a green area close to porous is no wonder told of a legal waste clearing up the problem is proving difficult as well for the authorities and even more frustrating for the locals.
5:46 pm
let me tell you how concrete blocks wouldn't place you had to drag a little east checkups i would remind you all of that land these private property public authorities cannot interfere with a private company. for disease we vote for politicians to do the job so they protect the lines today though we can say that will take.
5:47 pm
5:48 pm
global war hawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings can use the chicken hawks forced me to fight the battles going. to new socks for the tell you that so be gossip and publish by files a little more news today. while i'm off of advertising tell me you are not cool enough to buy their products. all the hawks that we along the border love walking. economic folding in the realm of education the right to education is being
5:49 pm
supplanted by the right access education. higher education is becoming just another product that can be consoled but it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business where you good models of those you can. the for i mean it really could mean. what is the place of students in this business model for college i was born now i'm going to be reborn education the new global economic war. of the. congo where americans in america covering american news are called for. by the end of this segment you will realize the stock market is a complete fraud but it's own bad news by the end of the segment you'll also know
5:50 pm
a great recipe for a coke and carrot cake so let's get started shall we the stock market though heartbeat of the american economy then lifeblood of our entire system good tested here is over desecration of the planet the. stock market has gotten so big that it is now worth thirty trillion dollars wow that's a lot of money and well am i being condescending right over what. well it's time to throw in some condescending images as well where you picture a stock when you brigid like like buying a stock in a company what do you picture you probably imagine a company like pepsi co and you are an embed this is what i see in my head and you are. and you are an investor is so you buy a share you buy a piece of the company you know. you own
5:51 pm
a piece of the company and you get a proportion of the profits which are called dividends it's a messy but fair process. let's say you purchase stock in a company that manufactures a new type of razor scooter that also doubles as a coal industry machine or whatever the better what it is you know while you're on the scooter it does the coal and asked me by surprise. anyway you know this device is revolutionary so you buy a share in the company hoping to get some of those profits well that's not what a stock is not at all that's that's what he stuck used to be but that was back when men used to wear top pads and if a lady showed her knees in public she was a fruity hoosier guy or known. nowadays you almost never receive the profits of the business and the company is not obligated to pay you anything for your stock however here's an example the example of google according to tellen lose book the ponzi fact assured google kids rate around nine hundred dollars but google
5:52 pm
explicitly states in writing that the poor value of their stock is only point zero zero one dollars google also says they do not pay their investors any dividends and their classy shareholders have no voting rights so if you own or share of googe you you will receive any money from google you won't be allowed to vote on corporate issues and google isn't obligated to pay you anything more than point zero zero one dollars for the share you bought for nine hundred dollars so what the fuck do you won't. do nothing it is nothing you own a slip of toilet paper that you might be able to trick someone else into paying you for. so then where did the profits come from like if you buy goog. and twenty dollars and you sell it to one hundred twenty where did the two hundred dollars come from it came from other investors who were willing to buy the stock as tom lew
5:53 pm
puts the investors are just cannibalizing each other for profits and there are fees attached to every transaction. cannibalizing each other for profits. now this is starting to sound like an american enterprise. this is all american activities right there on the flag america cannibalizing each other for profits and seventy and seventy say. no good luck you've made the money you make from most stocks if you make money is coming from other investors pumping new money in and if there if there are new investors willing to buy the stock then you're just you're just standing there with your thumb up you said six we could pause for a sec it why is standing there with your thumb up your ass and expression. and the other one the kind of means the same as standing there with your hand right
5:54 pm
. they both mean you've got nothing going on. you just stand there with your thumb up your ass and you. put that doesn't sell mike duffin you know that. that sounds like a big night if you're into that conversation and it sounds like a terrible night if you're not into that because. bloodied certainly doesn't sound like nothing. where i work for you. i know you only you only make money if new investors want to buy the stock from you otherwise you're screwed why does that sound familiar that that that set up sound oh i know it's the exact definition of a ponzi scheme our stock market is up because these. securities and exchange. his commission defines a ponzi scheme as an investment fraud that involves the payment of purported returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors but only
5:55 pm
ponzi schemes usually involve lying to the investor which is also what goes on with wall street most investors don't understand that they own literally nothing they don't know that they are simply gambling and they don't know that their profit relies on everyone still believing this stupid fraud is real boy where do i sign up. this means the only way to get your money back or to profit is to find another chump willing to buy it now don't get me wrong your argument may be this is america there's always another job we are based on a long time honored tradition of never running out of jobs. were lousy with chumps. that's a fair point but i don't think you see anyone proudly touting that as the definition of the stock market i would actually respect that i would if it were
5:56 pm
right there on the front of the stock exchange just said put your money into stocks barket the only way you going to make money is if you find a. job by whatever stocks you just bought put there or new food a number of. this gravy train is powered by morons so you've got another to worry about. if it said that i'd be all in i would have a full. circle. ok that our dog market is a house of cards built on idiocy stacked on spiderwebs hanging tenuously from the hindu and berg is actually kind of a big deal you know think about this as of september twenty seventeen the nasdaq in the new york stock exchange had a combined value of over authority trillion dollars this means investors believe they are entitled to thirty trillion dollars in real money with only one point six
5:57 pm
trillion dollars of cash circulating in the u.s. economy and three point eight trillion in existence in the entire u.s. economic system only three point eight trillion in hard cash which means the stock market is built mostly on nothing like jared cushier it's built on nothing the stock market is a ponzi scheme a fraud a scam a shakedown a ripoff a flim flam all right. let's look at an example tesla here's a chart of tesla stock price from twenty ten to twenty seventeen it went from twenty dollars a share to three hundred eighty dollars a share if you bought a bunch in twenty ten you're probably very rich right now so where did all that money come from did it come from tesla's profits did you get a letter in the mail it's a dirty we just sold a car here. there's two dollars and seventy five cents from that car now now you don't get a letter because actually tesla lost two billion dollars in two thousand and
5:58 pm
seventeen over the entire period of this chart they lost four point three billion dollars so then where in god's name is all that money coming from the money is coming from other people gambling on the idea that that number will keep going up and look. i don't have any problem gambling if you want to gamble at a casino you can we. stay up all night until you're on your last two dollars trying to give you a slot machine and hope it just might pay out afterwards go for it have a ball but the casinos are honest with you that it's gambling the front of the casino doesn't say invest your pension in roulette you know you have a kid with a degenerative disease then put all your savings on red thirty two so he'll be taken care of when you're gone. now don't say that the stock market does and some people may think that if it were root truly gambling that would mean it's not
5:59 pm
predictable yet finance professionals claim they know how to analyze and predict the market so you put your money in their hands sale grow your money well multiple tests have been done to see whether the professionals know how to predict the market one contest was between amateurs students finance professionals and the cats named board. who did all those investing by tossing his favorite mouse toy on an electric grid electronic grid orlando the cat one look ok. the good the stock market is a ponzi scheme you say it's a racket because. the government was. ok in the many many cities gambling is illegal they'll send in armed forces to break up poker games right you got to get a permit for a raffle you gotta go talk to a guy about a big go game but when a sociopath in chicago bets your entire pension and loses no swat team no arrests
6:00 pm
because it's a legalized ponzi scheme and by the way these ideas are not allowed on your corporate media your financial shows your financial web sites the almighty stock mark. it does not permit even the slightest doubt to creep in tom lou the author i've been speaking about has tried to put his ideas on popular finance blogs and web forums and they are often you deleted or he's banned completely from the site they act like you know he just showed up to a scientology web forum and wrote you know tom cruise is a free crap he's just he's done today always messiah he's got his or we're done all right and mission prayer i'm possible is over right and. it's tough to overstate the impact this con game has on our world and our lives not just when people lose their pensions but when the news came out that north korea.
