in the 1880s, the american labor journalist john swinton went to england and interviewed marx, karl marx and he asked marx, what do you see for the future? what do you see for the future? and marx thought for a minute and answered in one word, struggle. the future will see struggle. he didn't say the end of that struggle is inevitable. he didn't say what that struggle is going to lead to. that's what he saw. so but as we'll see in a minute, many people saw in marxism a kind of way of predicting the future which i think is not really the essence of what he's talking about, but the point is that the whole analysis suggested that once you marry the productive capacity, the radical productive capacity of socialism to a more equitable distribution and a more democratic control of the economy, it's a utopian world. i mean it's sort of like bellamy in a way, his utopian world, a world of equality. socialism appealed to people on an ethical level as much as on a kind of ethical level. it was an unbounded dream. they promised people would be ten feet tall under socialism. the italian socialist la

after that, there was a flurry of rediscovery of karl marx. after the millennium of 2000, there was an article about marx, why? because he is the prophet of globalizedd capitalized. he sees it as a system. not as bad individuals. not trusts. you know. corrupting the political system. the system itself has a logic which has to be understood. and in a way, you can put marx and many people do in the same category of thinker as let's say darwin. darwin tried to understand the underlying principles of the natural world or freud a little later trying to understand the underlying principles of the internal human mind. marx is trying to understand is the underlying principles of the economic system, the economic world. and the first principle is as he says, i'm just going to read you a couple of sentences from the communist manifesto of 1848 where he lays out many, many more socialists read the communist manifesto which is a political polemic, highly oversimplified than waded through the three ultra dense volumes of das capital. what did they find when

karl marx was the grandfather of communism. i do not agree with that statement. i hope mr. ford is not either. he has put pressure on the congress and i do not think mr. ford would deny this, a hold up on nonproliferation legislation until the congress agrees for an $8 billion program for private industries to start producing rich uranium. the last thing i want to say is this, he talks about peace and i'm thankful for peace. peaceful before mr. ford went into office. he and mr. kissinger pride themselves on vietnam in angola. when the secret deal was discovered to prevent a renewed involvement. >> kinnaman, i'm sorry to say we do not have time enough for to complete sequences of questions. we now have only 12 minutes left. therefore, i would like to ask, we are short -- i would like to ask for shorter questions and shorter answers and we will drop the follow-up question. each candidate may still respond to the other fuzzy answers. the question is for governor carter. >> the miscommunications i received involve panama. when u.s. president be repaired which in a fake state yi

karl marx was the grandfather of communism. i don't agree with that statement. i hope mr.ford doesn't either. he has put pressure on the congress, and i don't believe mr. ford would even deny this, to hold up on nonproliferation legislation until the congress agreed for an $8 billion program for private industry to start producing enriched uranium. and the last thing i want to make is this. he talks about peace, and i'm thankful for peace. we were peaceful when mr. ford went into office. but he and mr. kissinger and others tried to start a new vietnam in angola, and it was only the outcry of the american people and the congress when their secret deal was discovered that prevented our involvement in that conflagration which was taking place there. ms. frederick: gentlemen, i'm sorry we do not have time enough for two complete sequences of questions. we now have only twelve minutes left. therefore, i would like to ask for shorter questions and shorter answers. and we also will drop the follow-up question. each candidate may still respond, of course, to the other's answer. mr

but al-adnani to get global and to me, he was a combination, he was walt disney, steve jobs and karl marx one. let me explain that area he was the dark world walt disney in the sense that al-adnani, all these beheading videos, he knew what the audience wanted before the audience knew it. compared to steve jobs because he realized the incredible possibilities of electronic media and finally karl marx because this guy had really dumb ideas and still found the global following. greg: 'scommunications skills were far superior to anybody in the terrorism world. he would issue for example these edicts to loan will attacks on westerners and just pick one guy out. here's one of his messages. smashes red head with a rock, slaughter him with a knife, throw him down from a high place, joke and poison him and he was influential , was he not, in precipitating some key homegrown attacks in western countries? >> indeed he was. he was a visionary and al-adnani was a multitasker. he was aspokesman but he was also the brains behind these videos. he was a master of rhetoric . to us it sounds less but to the

interested in all kinds of things if stories were to be believed, he read the collected works of karl marx and thomas jefferson by the time he was 11, he read all of james fenimore cooper. there was a certain genius to this unusual young man in plymouth. he went to michigan state, served in the military during world war ii, he gets his graduate degree a little higher than a phd at a scottish university. in 1952, came back in 1953, his dissertation, became this million copy bestseller called the conservative mind, it hit the market of the chicago publisher, and went through 7 editions over its lifetime and it really did give -- there were a number of disparate voices that were not leftist. they might be conservative to some degree, libertarian to another degree but a number of voices i think kirk's book allowed a forum for all these voices at the end of world war ii, the end of the korean war, he becomes very important especially we would never have had a barry goldwater movement without kirk. we would not have had a reagan movement later on without kirk. he did represent that strain of con

the man he admired most was not carl max karl marx but abraham lincoln and invoked lincoln, also washington. so that he tied to it the revolutionary tradition of the united states. socialists were quite popular. this is a period of enormous reform and, of course, as we all know, rampant capitalism which was brutally treating workers, no question about it, in the late 19th century, early 20th century. so the socialist party had a lot of support, quite frankly. it wasn't until later -- first of all a lot of reforms was taken over by t.r. and wilson, and then the party lost support during the war because the socialist party opposed the war but many individual socialists did not. that's pretty much all i can say there. >> well, thank you very much, james chace, for visiting the woodrow wilson center today to discuss your new book, "1912: this pivotal election." please join me in thanking him for his presentation. [ applause ] and there's a reception and opportunity to purchase the book in the foyer. thank you. >>> both hillary clinton and donald trump will be holding campaign events tomorrow an

we have responded to surplus labor, as karl marx says, in our de-industrialized internal colonies, touote malcolm x, by putting poor people of color in cages all across the country. why? it's because surplus labor -- corporate entities cannot make money off of surplus or redundant labor. but when you lock them in a cage, they make $40,000 or $50,000 a year. this is the system we live in. we live in a system where, under section 1021 of the national defense authorization act, the executive branch can put the soldiers in the streets, in clear violation of the 1878 posse comitatus act, to see -- carry out extraordinary rendition of american citizens who are deemed to be, "terrorists," strip them of due process and hold them indefinitely in military facilities, including in our black sites. we are a country that t engagesn torture. we talk -- robert talks about, you know, building movements. you can't build movements in a political system where money has replaced the vote. it's impossible. and the democrats, you knonow, their bedside manner is different from the republicans. you know, tru

depression to be really the deathknell of capitalism, the sort of and of the cycle that waspredicted by karl marx . that capitalism had finally reached its high water mark and collapsed area and certainly that's part of what happened area you have the markets asset valuations running up a huge bubble and then the collapse, we are familiar with that cycle these days and that's what happened at the time so a lot of people back then, it's time to abandon capitalism. capitalism doesn't work areas and so you had the first revolution, the soviet revolution in russia but it was followed byrevolutions all around theworld , particularly in south america . people, a socialist model. you also have the rise of the fascists in italy and germany. people turning away from the idea of capitalist economy to the planned economy and you have a powerful movement here , especially among big corporate industrialists saying we need to pan plan our economy. we need centralized planning. that's the future, thesoviets are doing the five-year plans, we need five-year plans, we need 10 year plans . hoover rejected all that

in the 1880's, the new york london andr went to interviewed karl marx. he asked what do you see for the future. marx did not say socialism or common is in. he said struggle. that's what i see in the future. one of the points of this history is the end of slavery did not mean the end of struggle. that will continue forever. thank you all very much.

it's the one that, you know, frederick engles and karl marx are watching it and writing letters back and forth, who is henry george, they don't agree with him but he certainly seems to be pushing our agenda in the overthrow of capitalism. here's a cartoon in the wake of george's defeat but a pretty impressive defeat and he's looking mighty and the quotation is basically saying we nearly won against a splintered opposition, they are united against us and we better have a bigger hammer. there's a real optimism coming out of this election among the george supporters and the labor movement and not only locally but nationally. something is happening here. we could easily see a third party go national in a couple years and run, you know, like in europe a true third party that would be an alternative to the mainstream parties that are in the hands of big business. and here's george on the eve of his -- this is his concession speech. and he basically says the future is ours. this was bunker hill, right? bunker hill, the continentals were driven back but they symbolically won a victory that r

>> karl marx said very similar things. he said there should be no nationstates.ould be one worker's paradise. i like to ask the president what to think the bulls thought about borders in the 239 when hitler invaded? what do you think you printed out when putin invaded in two crimea recently. borders is the national security. security begins for securing your borders. this man i think has to wind the tone politician of the decade award. >> is trying to resurrect the united europe at the two world wars were centered in europe. that's what he's trying to do. he's trying to put the clock back. it's like saying retreat because it's not going to happen. >> if you look at the original founders of the european community, if you look at monday, adenauer, if you look at churchill who first used the phrase after world war ii, these individuals were they melt everything into some kind of morass. they were saying that nations come together as a community. this man has gone beyond that there's somebody from luxembourg sitting in brussels knows better for a bridge or frenchman
