TREASON, not corruption. Tyranny in this country, is treason. So it is perfectly legal to destroy the government and start a new. Or tweak the already existing one, by force of course.
Once political parties form, democracy is completely undermined. And they form almost immediately. I learned this in 3rd grade in class elections, when the snobby kids made their own clic party, voted as a block, and for the next couple of years (as long as I was at that school before I left) swept all the elections.

Donors donate to those who they think are likely to win, getting more donations isn't the reason they win. Ads have been proven largely ineffective at swaying long-term opinion. Voter turnout is quite low. Look at Bloomberg - spent billions, lost. Hillary - spent more than Trump, lost. Winning attracts money, not the other way around.
Hell, it aint just legal, it governs what is and isnt legal. Corruption is the ultimate power, the ultimate power of the U.S government is corruption. Contrary to what they tell us in school, it is not our vote.

Since I was a teenager I've been trying to tell people that the countries biggest problem by far are lobbyists. In fact, it is literally unconstitutional, and as _"Un-American"_ as it could be. Thank you for posting this and for spearheading some long overdue changes.
@@lights473 Why does it even matter if it's "constitutional" or not. The constitution was written by men, and it can be changed by men. Lobbying circumvents the will of the people for the benefit of corporations. Corporate money should not be allowed in politics. Politicians should raise money for their campaign through individual donors. If they don't get enough donations that way, they're probably not popular enough among the people to be elected. This is by far the biggest issue that this country faces. Fix lobbying, and you fix healthcare, you fix the education system, you fix the prison industrial complex, you fix the military industrial complex. Wealthy corporations will have to start paying their taxes again as well. Everything will follow suit once the government is back in the hands of the people.
@@ryno4ever433 it doesn't matter if it's Constitutional? Wtf? Our country is FREE because of the Constitution and we base our laws and order on the Constitution. Don't belittle this document. I agree there's a problem but if you want to fix that problem don't go after businesses, go after the government. When government has so much power, there's an incentive to buy off politicians. Make government smaller and there's less power for businesses and lobbyists which means less of an incentive to buy off politicians. Why would you trust government the power to fix everything when none of us trusts the government to begin with???? I actually agree with you that if we fix lobbying, we fix almost everything else, but that starts at the source - the government.
Not all educators want people to know. I was lucky that the different schools I went to taught critical thinking. I know now that not everyone learns this
I agree but to be fair shouldn’t we also show a video supporting Lobbyist and saying why they were implemented so we have balanced opinions instead of brainwashing to a different side
It is not surprising and you are completely right. States throughout history were created to maintain a particular class interest as dominant within Society against the interest of the Working Class or common folk in Society. Just as ancient Slave States, Feudal States, and Colonial Nation-States, these states increasingly concentrate power, just to uphold the dominate class in their Society: Slave Masters, Feudal Lords and kings, a wealthy aristocracy descended from the medieval Feudal Lords. Now that the Capitalist have had their bourgeois revolutions in Europe and the Americas, and created States that serves their particular class interest, power has increasingly become concentrated within these Bourgeois states just so that they can continue to maintain their power within society against the interest of the people. History does not progress in a linear fashion, but it progresses none-the-less. It always seems that when Class Society has concentrated an enormous amount of power to the State Apparatus in order to uphold class society, it either collapses or becomes over-thrown by revolutions. The time of the Working Class to overthrow Bourgeois States is already nigh, over-due in fact, and we must build organizations that can get the Working Class educated about how the State and Class Society serve each other just as much today as in any moment in History. By creating an Educated and Organized body of the Working Class that slowly builds its strength up through further education and organization, we can eventually expect to overthrow bourgeois states and build Workers States that can stand their own against the remnant powers of the Bourgeois States. When all Bourgeois States are abolished, eventually after a long process of peaceful and mutually beneficial development across all the Proletarian style Democracies of the world, humanity can build up the means for the people to achieve the ultimate liberation - in the form of a Stateless, Classless and Moneyless society globally, with no bourgeois states to threaten the emergence of this final form of human civilization.
Demondragonkinggav people forget and then they paint these racist sexist devils as infallible geniuses who are all knowing and crafter this perfect nation we call America.
America was never meant to destroy the aristocracy, it was founded on conservative ideas which were quite literally made to preserve the aristocracy in the event that Europe fell to democracy like France did.
Connor it was actually founded on ANTI-conservative libertarian (at the time called liberal) ideas seeing as conservatives were conserving the monarchs
Aristocracy started where democracy started, almost every democratic system will somehow at some point get to aristocracy. That's why democracy is by far one of the worst ideas out there, we use it so much because we haven't made anything less worse than that...
Yea but truth is it never swore to do anything it just paved the way for new nation with slaves amd added a title or name on it to try to make it seem nice amd justified.
GOD EXACTLY THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING and everyone calls me cynical. :/ corruption is more than a huge problem, its insane and sadly, i probably will never see much change.
Unions are not made of rich people but major party like democrats are backed by trade unions. Then again union members are less than 10% of the work force. So they don't represent people either. To be honest unions represent the interest of unions, most of the time that has nothing to do with their members. But looking at every democratic country it is the same. A conservative party represents businesses and a progressive party represents trade unions, I think democracy is always supposed to end up like this. There is no solution. I mean there are solutions (You can watch "Yes, prime minster" S02E05 "power to people"), but it is just not going to get supported in any democratic systems (You watched the video, it is just not going to happen).

I don't like USA political system. Because it is a Federation of states(like Germany, Russia and Great Britain), and it is undemocratic. In general, federate states are less democratic than unitary states. Still it is, more democratic than Russia or China. Unitary states, where the votes are more equaly divided between the citizens, are more democratic in principle, unless the elections are falsified, or the propaganda leads the voters astray.

@@MBasu-km8by Socialism has nothing to do with taking money from workers and giving it to non-productive people. That would be capitalism, where the bourgeoisie force labourers to give up a portion of their work to the capital owner. They can do that because of some abstract idea of "property rights", which are enforced by the police and military. Without access to the means of production, most workers can not produce. So they have to give in to the property owners and work for them to gain that access. All socialism is, is any system, any system at all, where the workers own/control the means of production, transportation, and expropriation. This prevents an upper class from existing, or being able to exploit the workers. Finally, the workers would be able to do with their wealth as they please. If you hate the government, consider libertarian socialism. The government sucks not because government is destined to suck, but because its run by corruption and bourgeoisie interests. The government of the Soviet Union and other supposedly socialist countries sucked because they were run by entrenched and corrupt bureaucrats. To end corruption, the workers need to be the sole runners of society.
Meanwhile I'm here, watching the US from outside, asking myself how a country where citizens can't hold referendums can think of itself as free and democratic and still be shocked about these things.

“The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them.” ― Karl Marx
I can't believe there are still people out there that say campaign contributions should be allowed because people should have the freedom to support any political candidate that they want to support, yet at the same time, these very people will readily admit that politicians are bought out and that congress is corrupt. It's pretty easy to see this is where all the problems start. How can people not realize this?
But whatwould you do, make it illegal to lobby? Im sure people would find a way around it and the government would have incentive to use these new regulatory powers selectively against those who dont have a team of lobbyists writing their laws. The obvious answer would be to make it so people can get elected who more accurately reflect voter preferences. But the only way that will happen is if we change HOW we vote because our plurality system leads to a 2 party duopoly.
@@Knightmessenger I think it’s worth looking into why lobbyists are incentivized to lobby in the first place... It’s obviously because our government has a MASSIVE pool of (OTHER PEOPLES) resources and power to “sell” that lobbyists are willing to “buy”... IMO, the ONLY EFFECTIVE way to discourage lobbying is by “draining” that “MASSIVE pool”...
@@Knightmessenger Of course you would make it illegal to lobby. "But people would just find another way around", that's basically describing every single law there is. Not having a law against it is just stupid.
@@dmur612 ding ding we have a winner. Similarly, the only way to put criminal gangs out of business for good is to legalize the drugs that currently can only be bought on the black market.
@@Danskadreng laws that have absolutely zero incentive to follow cannot be enforced. Making it illegal to lobby would be about as readily followed as the drinking age on a college campus. And what if there's some law you want passed? How are you supposed to advocate for it without lobbying? Unlike the US, most other democracies have multiparty systems instead of 2 disproportionately big parties. That's the key issue, not that other countries dont have lobbyists.
I think the biggest problem is that the majority of people "think" they "know" that they are helpless and cant do anything... that's the biggest lie that we can convince our selves... and of course we are too "busy" with our own lives and problems...
i might be getting ahead of myself. But how do we get organized if my own foking father doesnt give a shit (kinda) (same old excuse, dont worry about others, worry about urself, take care of u and ur own life, "go ahead and let the steal, but u keep doing u" -he says)

why does this video not mention the privately owned federal reserve banking system? signed into law in 1913 by Woodrow Wilson who later confessed publicly to having ruined his country by doing so.
Well, in their defense, you can only drop so much truth at once. But I agree, working that into this video would've made it better. Perhaps they didn't want to risk drawing too much of the elites' attention. And the Federal Reserve issue is a little closer to the conspiracy side of things, so it might scare off some would-be supporters that aren't that awake yet.

1. Rich donors gravitate towards people that they determine are the most likely to win, simply having more donors (indicated in almost all studies as the 'preference' of the donor class) isn't direct evidence that they win BECAUSE of those donations. 2. Several studies have shown that political advertisements have low effect on public opinion. 3. No studies take into account actual voter turnout and the voting behavior of citizens. People in a two-party system often vote on habit, rather than taking a good look at platforms and voting records, as they should be. The problem is lack of ranked-choice voting and an apathetic voter base - a voter base whose attitude is driven by people consistently telling them that their vote does not count.
In Israel there is an initiative that wants to beat the system using the system - They opened a kickstarter to fund lobbyists that will support the will of the people and communicate it to the members of parliament. They have 5 lobbyists today and they actually managed to make things move in favor of the public. They're called Lobby 99 It's also a possible solution to the problem

Bernie's campaign focus is taking down wall street and corporations, why would billionaires donate to him?
+dialsforstupid who runs the country? the politicians or the ones who put money in their pockets? do you think this is a Hollywood film? every single politician, Senate and congress have been lobbied. just because he says sweet words and seems nice doesn't mean anything until he had to provide results. hope is meaningless, Obama was the president who was going to be the savoir of America. sanders will disappoint and another hopeful even less corrupt politician will take his place. this is ridiculous.
The thing is, we have let these psychopaths run the show for so long that if we have a true "revolution" they will declare Martial Law and take full control and start their planned genocide. IF we have a "peaceful revolution" holding signs and protesting, etc., it will basically do nothing, just as the video depicts.
Do people really have so little faith in our military that they think commit genocide against us -- their own people? Most men who make up military forces are the exact same ones that the aristocracy shit all over. Same goes for the police. The politicians, useless ivory tower snobs, and rich people's power is an illusion. Without the men they pay to enforce their rules they might as well be walking, talking targets.
Sorakeyblademaster37 the police would certainly murder innocent people on command. The military seems more divided, based on the people I know in it. They seem to have less authoritarian attitudes than cops
Yeah, it's not like in a libertarian world the rich totally could not buy the same power the goverment already has (AKA, monopoly of violence), and use it to craeate their own little monopolistic areas through brute force... Oh right, that's EXACTLY how monarchy got born and devolved into a goverment too, not to mention, THAT'S EXACTLY how drug cartels work. The problem isn't just in the fact that we allow a goverment to exist, but that we allow other people to profit from other people's work, and become umbalancedly rich, therefore granting them an even larger upperhand over everybody else to exploit and manipulate the weak. I mean, c'mon, you people can't be naive enough to believe political power is the only kind there could be, economical power is far more threatening as it can buy its way into almost any other kind of power (for example, it can be used to buy democratic power by manipulating the masses through mass media). The only real reason we allow the capitalistic exploitation of other people's workforce, it's because we all dream to one day be one of those rich persons, part of the one 1%, and enjoy whatever luxury we dream off at the expense of others. The problem tho, is that it is conceptually impposible for the 1% to be any bigger no matter how rich the country, it will always be the 1% of the population, and while miniscule few will fall from the 1% while others rise to it, the truth is that the 99% allow the 1& to take most of the profit that comes from their own workforce, just to feed that fake dream of becoming a 1% themselves. Why is it a fake dream if some have achieve it? because even if YOU do manage to join them, you just became part of a 1%, while the 99% continue to dream about it and will never achieve it. And sadly, it's already been known that the 1% holds 50% of the world's FINITE resources, while WE, the 99%, scramble to survive on the scraps left of the other 50%. Basically, if you abolish both representative forms of goverment, and ANY system that allows any sort acumulation and centralization of any type of power (being economical power the biggest ofender in modern society, but in the past it was militaristic power), and make a point to create a decently educated AND active society, there's no type of corruption or oppresion that could possible stop you from achieving the kind of lifestyle you as an individual can possible reach.

Well, this corruption is the fault of capitalism. This is a natural effect of capitalism, where the rich take from the poor and use that money to control the government to get wealthier. Voting democrat is definitely not the right conclusion, especially considering all of the corrupt democrats from 9 months ago who will only keep the problem going. Venezuela is bad because it is too socialist, we are bad because we are too capitalist, so the American citizens angry at their lack of representation are naturally going to blame capitalism, the system that got us here.
@@phlumpers no, the problem with America is that capitalism and socialism don't mix well together, the whole point of capitalism is that the market will regulate itself through the demands of the consumer, but government regulations tend to have a harmful effect on the economy. the reason this is bad is because "harm to the economy" doesn't mean rich people lose their positions, it means the poor people's livelihoods are shattered. the rich are actually the least harmed since they have enough money to recover, this is especially bad when you consider the effects this has on the marketplace, and on businesses that are dominant at the time. all government regulations are inherently anti-competitive, and thus monopolistic, and capitalism without competition is corporatism. the knee-jerk reaction to this is to go to the government, but the more socialism you put in a corporatist economy, the more power you give to the corporations. this creates a positive feedback loop that ends rather predictably in ruin. funny how late stage capitalism is socialism, i guess they were right about that. as for the idea that corporations are the ones bribing the government, it is true, but only half so, the government essentially forces them to bribe them due to how influential the government is to the market, and how harmful it can be to the market. the government is no better than the corporations, only there is no competition, and no accountability for the government, so when the government directly bribes, threatens, and coerces businesses, there are significantly fewer options for them to take. i am not saying corporations are misunderstood victims, or actually the heroes or anything like that, they have the same incentives as the government, it's just that the government is a far greater threat to the economy, and to the rest of society due to an established monopoly, and significantly more power. under a good economy, capitalism has been shown to lead to the prosperity that many of it's advocates speak about, but when the government makes the economy unstable, it is easy for it to result in the kind of situation we have now....
Bernie Sanders is a socialist that wants to give the government power to control the economy, taking away the freedom of the people to control their wealth.
I mean let's be honest is there ANY hope left at all, I don't believe so. I've been wanting to move out of the country since I was 16 and when coronavirus ends ill be either in Mexico Costa Rica

@@plasmapro6651 Yes Obama spent a lot, but he also had to clean up a mess Bush left behind. There is also Bill Clinton and the previous presidents and how the government was running from before.
The National Debt is nothing more than the accumulated spending of the Federal Government from the time of the nation’s founding that hasn’t been extinguished (cancelled out) via taxation. By accounting identity one party’s SPENDING is another party’s INCOME. The US is a sovereign currency issuing nation, meaning that it issues a non-convertible currency with a floating exchange rate, backed by the full faith and credit of the US Government alone. Furthermore, the US owes no debt in foreign currency which it does not issue thus it can NEVER be forced into involuntary default. US Government spending CREATES new currency. Taxation at the federal level creates DEMAND for the currency as it is the ONLY means by which a citizen may satisfy their tax obligation. Unlike the Federal Government which ISSUES the currency, households, firms, states, and municipalities are USERS of the currency and must first generate revenue, borrow, or sell an asset before they may spend. Federal deficit spending is OUR INCOME. A federal surplus REVERSES this pattern given that we (the private sector) run consistent trade deficits with the foreign sector. The sectorial balance between the three sectors of the economy (government, private, foreign) holds that all three cannot simultaneously run surpluses so if any one of them are in surplus then by accounting identity at least one of them must be in deficit (remember: one party’s spending is the income of another party). If the Federal Government runs a surplus by increasing its revenue (taxes and fees) then unless the private sector runs a trade surplus with the foreign sector it will find itself in deficit leading inevitably to recession. This is why it is preferable that the Federal Government, the currency issuer, run deficits nearly all of the time. This way the private sector AND the foreign sector may stay in surplus and derive an income.
So. I just had this video recommended to me after it being on RU-vid for 4 years now. I'd say it's fair to ask this question: How much progress has been made towards the circumvention of corruption in our politics?
Being a politician requires that you make logical decisions. Making moral or emotional decisions gives other people the opportunity to walk all over you. However, corruption implies that someone is doing something illegal in the government. Lobbying isn’t illegal. So basically, what’s shown in the video isn’t corruption but it IS a problem.
@the Emperor of man While you’re correct, you’ve oversimplified things WAYYYY too much. Lobbying shouldn’t just outright be made into a crime. That’s just too simple.
Great videos that break down the deliberate obfuscation of current political system and lay bare the epidemic of corruption that's threatening to overwhelm us all.
The effects of corruption are escalating. We now have healthcare that marks up drugs over 500,000%, we have incarcerations rates that are the highest in the world and generate tons of profit, and we now have endless wars for oil related profits that literally kill millions.
Every union isn’t corrupt. That information means that people want to destroy unions that do help people get equal pay. Yes, there are corrupt unions but not all of them. And, its important to note that just because a union forms, doesn’t mean its inevitably going to become corrupt.
Danubian Federation stop saying that and it will,when people decide to stop tolerating corruption because “iTs jUsT nOt rEaLiStIc” then Maybe we can make some progress
Come to San Diego they will throw you in jail with no hesitation but if your suing or expecting a pay out that's when they drop the case ... Welcome to the people's court of California
Vote third party instead, otherwise you give more voting power to others who choose to vote corrupt politicians. There are parties who oppose war and want to overturn CitizensUnited, like the Green Party
While this video is cute, it's based on a faulty premise: that the popular laws are the best ones. Many of the Civil rights improvements in our country's history would have fallen in the unpopular category, and thus never would have been passed in your "ideal" scenario. Just because something is popular doesn't make it right and appropriate to pass as a law.
Matt Park there should at least be some correlation between the likelihood of getting a bill passed and its popularity. it may not necessarily be linear. the problem is that if you're rich, your voice is louder. you didn't really understand this video.
Matt Park but what you are describing in your own words still remains the definition of democracy. The majority voted for something so it will be done = Definition of democracy.
@@tony1449 Agreed. My comment is 5 months old. I learned a lot seeing how things went down this election. 3rd party vote is a joke. The entire system needs an overhaul. But special interests and stuff. America is not looking good these days man.
And the guy who said he was going to "drain the swamp" made it swampier: www.propublica.org/article/we-found-a-staggering-281-lobbyists-whove-worked-in-the-trump-administration
obama, just like most dems, and every single republican, was a corporate funded shill. what did y'all expect? biden wouldn't be doing half of the things his admin is gunning for if the ideas weren't so popular, and midterms didn't look so grim. that's why they've been flip flopping on major issues. this is the whole reason the 'bernie or bust' movement was created, and why campaign finance analysis is critical. if the nation could stop voting by colors, and falling for the artificially manufactured culture wars for just one or two election cycles, we could fix this in no time.
+Adam Reed it doesnt necessarily have to be a violent revolution. Just a change in the market of ideas, in the hearts and minds of all the people. Government can go out, not in a bang but with a whimper.
+Adam Reed A military runs on food, farmers can stop selling them food. A military runs on bullets, weapons manufacturers can stop selling them bullets. A military runs on taxes, people can stop paying their taxes. A military need soldiers, people can stop enlisting. No army can stop an idea whose time has come
+Adam Reed That is undoubtably true, but remember the same was true for the founders of this country. There was a percentage of people that did not mind British rule, there was a majority of people who didnt care either way, and then there was a tireless minority of people who loved liberty that fought for it. Think of how many people were at those Ron Paul meetings in 2008 vs 2012? Libertarians were a fringe idea a few years ago, now its mainstream and there are even parody characters in television and movies, along with celebrities who claim it. Most people like the idea of being free just as long as it doesnt hurt others, they just dont know there is a choice because they have been indoctrinated into either the left or the right. Philosophy can fix that. It is easy to get overwhelmed by all the battles still left to fight, but remember how far we've come.
+Adam Reed you and me both brother, we all have been there. But we all got out right? if we can do it, anybody can do it- and eventually when enough people do, the rest just go with the flow.
“China is vibrant market economy, but it is not a capitalist country. Here’s why….. there no way a group of billionaires can control the pilot bureau as billionaires control American policy making. In china, you have a vibrant market economy but capital does not rise above political authority. Capital does not have enshrined rights. In American the interest of capital and capital itself has risen above the American nation. The political authority cannot check the power of capital. And that is why America is a capitalist country and China is not.” - Eric Li
This is so true, this is precisely the reason I've consider moving back to my home-country. I left my home-country to escape the corrupt political system, only to find a legal corrupt political system. This has to change.
This is a good study but still not showing the full picture. By placing a whopping 10% as the "elite", instead of the 0.01%, you'll be left out of info just how much representation they get. Study says that the average person has a statistically non-significant impact upon public policy? I say that the 0.01% has a statistically non-significant impact of keeping away from the ideal line. We Marxists have a beautiful term for this: "Dictatorship of the bourgeoisie".
Yup biggest reason to leave America 🔥👋🌅. any other better place out there to actually live a normal life that I won’t end up like a slave working two jobs.
not just legalization but also universal health/mental care and universal education and housing and pretty much everything. The more people are treated as human beings and not just cogs the better the society will become. The more it becomes our problem instead of their problem the better society will be.
If you think either of the current candidates for president will fix this issue, you don't understand what the problem is and fail to realize that none of them give a shit about you.
SPACEMONKEY288 Walk away from the system. Period. Don't come back. Humanity invented government to control other people. You trust a bunch of idiots to rule you? Enjoy everything you deserve.
chbrules lol there isent a place on earth that isent owned nor controled by other humans already. you cant just "walk away". go live in the woods if you want its not like the bankers and everyone no were you are already anyways. everything you do is recorded get ust to it this isent a free country its a country of choice. pick you're choice and deal with it.
