Joe Biden’s Radical Legacy 

Yeah, but then he still endorsed Biden

@@Bluebelle51 You're right, we should have let Trump win. That would definitely have improved things.

​@Bluebelle51 Exactly, because Joe is pro-worker, and as shown by this video, his policies reflect that. If Biden wasn't living up to it, Bernie would never support him for any reason.

@@matthewcaldwell8100 this. When we get a third party candidate with at least Ross Perot's chances, then you can get picky.

@@Bluebelle51 That's right. And what you're seeing is Bernie's agenda being enacted. Y'all don't know how to take a win when it's handed to you.

Biden is less radical than Trump when it comes to catering to the corporations. But he is still a radical billionaire bro. That they paint him as a kind of champion for the working class is saddening...

​@@martinfiedler4317 First, Biden's not a billionaire; his net worth is about $10 million according to Forbes. Second, neither Trump nor Biden are radical. People misuse the term all the time to mean extreme or fringe, but it actually means root. As in: radish = root vegetable, radical in math = root, and radical in politics = fundamental systemic change. I would argue that neither Trump nor Biden are radical since they both seek to maintain capitalist order and hegemony. Regardless, you're right-it is sad how Biden is marketed to us as champion of the working class.

He's still a radical neoliberal -- austerity is violence and class warfare.

"economy" is another word for the wallets of the wealthy. it has nothing to do with the lives of most americans.

I agree that the economy doesn’t necessarily correlate to working class people’s income, but cost of living is also a factor.

i would say 2 words. spending and greed

Well actually, its all about how much you have left over after all expenses are paid. I can sign a $100,000 salary contract, but if it costs me $99,000 to live in the area. Then only if I am lucky to have no accidents or problems will I actually gained money.

Wealth inequality. We're not living in the stone age anymore, there's plenty to go around. The problem is wealth continually concentrating in fewer and fewer hands.

Truth

The inherited wealth aristocracy manipulates and orchestrates everything in this country for decades. The trickle down mafia caste rigging everything has the honest hardworking Americans as their serfs and is now outright farming us as their livestock by easily emotionally manipulating the bandwagon of fools who are a danger to themselves and others, too easily manipulated by the trickle down mafia's fake "life" psy ops.

Nope. Sorry. I know we love the "poor put up on citizen" narrative so as to not burn bridges with varying demos but... American voters have made choices, clear choices, for decades now. It's like when people acted as though the Bush Administration "lied us into war". As though there wasn't a clearly articulated counter narrative widely available. It was never "Bush lied and people died" it was "Bush/Cheney Administration lied and despite all the available evidence to the contrary the majority of voters chose to believe the Republican Administration." Ditto "Reaganomics/Trickle Down.

@@gannibalof21st Sad but true the US has no true organized leftist movement that actually is left of center with centralists like Bernie sanders being about as left leaning as the current winner takes all 2 party system allows. That said informing others of the complex larger picture of the rise and obscuration of the post WW2 American empire among other things is important if we want to found a real leftist movement in the US. The reason I come here is in the hopes of informing folks of the larger interconnected nature of how our societal problems to get points across and hope to make things a better place. I admit I don't think a true leftist movement in the US is possible ATM as media is almost entirely controlled by right leaning stakeholders who continue to abuse the ratchet effect to push the US further and further to the right. Breaking that right wing think tank stranglehold is important so we need allies if we are to do so. My view is that breaking down the hidden façade of the Globalist empire and how it is maintained by the dark triad of Neocolonialist organizations the World Bank International Monetary Fund and World Trade Organization which exist to further amplify the inequality of imperialism. It is this system which ultimately feeds our environmental crises by making it easier for foreign powers to extract resources and labor from across the world without just due compensation or any say of the indentured countries peoples. So long as the growth centered economy built on empire is allowed to persist we can not address the current crises as making cheaper alternatives has only resulted in increased environmental burden though expanding capacity so we need to try and add voices shifting the narrative towards more sustainable and just economic ideas and practices even if it is just a tiny bit.

Truly the most astounding element in his political career

Confidence Man at his best making things worse

You are severely misguided if you think the poor people are his key supporters. Every fascist in history has managed to get a good part of poor people on his side, because every fascist in history has the logistical support to do so from the rich people and liberals. The democratic party would much rather see a fascist in power than even someone as mildly left-leaning as Bernie - that's why fascists get platformed so damn much in the US, while no socialist/communist/anarchist ever has been.

"Bone spurs" is just the trickle down mafia using a demagogue to exploit the very problems they themselves caused. Unfortunately too many people are too easily manipulated by the trickle down mafia to see what is really going on with such a dangerous malevolent idol.

The economy, aka what I could buy with my money, was so much better under trump. Joe biden has to redefine inflation so he can argue inflation is lowering. Joe biden says he decreased the deficit, and what really happened was he increased the deficit at a lower than previously planned rate. He is a liar. He didn't even support gay marriage until it was cool.

Probably because we are busy pointing at the stinking pile of our own healthcare system. For those that refuse to see it, mentioning any other country is responded to with "you can't compare the US and _____ because [BS]".

then you didnt actually watch and listen - congrats. If you actually ARE a fellow leftist, then I guess its the people who think and post like you that are our other big problem. you are beholden to some other failed political economic thing, and you act like its a sport team vs another. Grow up.

From what I can see the capitalists are loving it, they got theirs and are off diddling kids on islands, buying up land as a hedge against a failing dollar, or just fucking off to other countries to live the good life leaving the bottom 90% to pick up the pieces.

They exported their production and other nations beat them at their own game.

@@GabrielHellborne Ultimately The Neoliberal hollowing out of manufacturing was part of a bigger hollowing out internal cannibalization of America by oligarchs addicted to seeing numbers go up. After the post WW2 American economic empire ran out of low hanging fruit to indenture though the brutal loan cartel of the IMF WB and WTO the growth of the economy started to stall out. As a result to maintain their numbers going up they needed an alternative source to keep their profit margins rising so they turned on the labor unions and manufacturing by outsourcing jobs as well as cutting taxes and the various social services and nonprofitable support infrastructure which kept the USA functional to further enrich themselves. With private equity consultancies and other contract oriented outsourcing they even do this to their own corporations leading to increasingly nonfunctional organizations of all kinds. The problem of course is that in hollowing out the US government and outsourcing everything they can they have rendered the empire ever increasingly weak and ineffective unable to sustain itself any longer . The leaders in China, having long focused on longer term growth than the shortsighted western stock markets which were too focused on their next stock return fix, were smart enough to see this coming and also seem to have taken measures to position themselves to exploit this self destructive cycle of western capitalists while likely also helping to accelerate the pace of it as well. In this context China is doing a lot of what the USA did over the 20th century to gradually usurp the control over the empires of European states. By the time the greedy addicts who call the shots in the neocolonial era started paying attention they were already too deep into their greedy indulgence to be able to effectively respond stuck in their own sunken cost fallacy.

All of this! They hate the other guys because they ended up exploiting them instead of the other way around

Damage went both ways but it was minor compared with the opportunities that followed, all 3 countries have enjoyed benefits. There is nothing wrong with working with your neighbors to create the most prosperous area in the world. NAFTA is not the problem. It's China, they literally said it in the video. Neither Mexico or Canada stole US tech to build weapons aimed towards the USA.

I distinctly remember when Reagan stopped calling us citizens and started calling us customers.

The government is taking action the Rich don’t care about anyone else and think it their fault for not having good jobs

People can't afford stuff in part because China was a crutch to the problem of inflation leading to wealth flowing upwards. Every year, we have 3% inflation on average, the rich want to make 5% or more extra in profits, while paying their workers 1% more or less. So every year, the middle class and poor have it a little worse. Then china stepped in and raised the quality of life for the average American. Now that we are pulling that back, prices of everything will continue to soar. All china did was hide the fact that every year, the rich take a slightly larger piece of the pie, and now after 60 years, the bottom 99% make less than the 1%.

If you think the rich are driving these changes you still have the wool over your eyes. If your position here were correct, were the elites so aware, Reaganomics would never have begun in the first place. The hyper rich do not care about the consumer market.

so, OP, let me get this straight, some of the rich are willing to make our lives better because it benefits them, and you think that's bad? To quote Carlin "I bet that if you could find a way to make some money off getting rid of the homeless problem, it was disappear just like that" and if someone did, would you complain its bad because some rich person got richer while a problem was reduced or removed? I will take the win almost any way I can get them.

High marginal tax rates in the 50s encouraged productive capital, in my opinion. It made sense to just invest capital back in the business because otherwise you’d just be giving it to the government. Stock buybacks being illegal at the time sure helped too.

Yes

Where do you think money goes when it is invested in the stock market?

@@larrydugan1441 it goes to the company who usually engages in stock buybacks to enrich investors

All capital is the issue because all capital is the accumulation of labor paid. It’s all productive insofar as it is only allowed to be produced in the first place because of its profit potential

Good point

Skill issue literally

It is all about narrative. When we look back at so-called Iraq's WMD fabricated evidence, what did happen to America after there was no evidence of WMD there? (where was ICC?) Nothing. It means the US managed to achieve their geopolitical goal in Middle East, no matter what. Just like that!

That's the point. It's not radical. It's a return to what built the middle class. The title is meant to be taken tongue in cheek.

It’s radical in the sense that it is counter to the consensus that both parties, Corporate America, and now private equity have held. The difficulty is the wealthy get wealthier as the game goes on. Sadly the DJT responses to this cycle will do more harm than good. That’s what happens when a big ego and a lack of understanding grab the wheel. It’s going to take decades and discipline to counter the momentum.

That's what makes it radical.

MPU is the brainchild of Faiz Shakir, a card-carrying Democrat who has a background of working on things such as managing Bernie’s 2020 campaign. Is it any wonder that he, like Sanders, would defer to Biden when his own program isn’t gaining traction within the party?

"Radical" doesn't mean "crazy," it means "returning to the root." That's what Biden is doing, returning to the root of what built broad American wealth. The Powers That Be don't want broad wealth, they want spectacular concentration of wealth at the top. So of course the Powers are fighting this radical change, and they'll never admit that it's better than trickle-down.

Yes, and China-bashing is the icing on the cake.

Well. Yes, your right, but also yes the Biden champaign is correct. With a side of yes, the anti-capitalists are correct too. It is not excatly a case where anyone is wrong, but more a case where pure math was eventually going to force a result like this from neoliberal economic policy. It was a self fullfilling prophecy.

I was a Bernie supporter, and I agree --Biden was way down the list for me. I thought his first two years were surprisingly ok though, given Manchin and Sinema, etc., but somewhere along the line he forgot about the Bernie power, and it feels like he's started listening to Hillary --courting that mythical suburban woman, and also her hawkish Middle East views (and the arrogance and not listening). I do think he still wants to do more of what's in this video, but I worry about his drift to the neoliberal middle, caring more about not pissing off Capital by bringing real change....I'm going to vote for him, so that I have the opportunity to vote in the future, and we have some semblance of a Democracy left, but I'm holding my nose hard and asking forgiveness from the souls of dead children his bombs killed, and his policies starved to death.

I'm still bitter about the Biden rug pull in the democratic primaries I hate Biden and always have as he has always had a strong connection to the American Neocolonial economic empire project as well as a tendency to easily cave to work with right wing bigots' across the Isle. That wishy washy nature made him untrustworthy and his efforts under Obama and his Neoliberal doctrine of inclusion through token membership of minorities to the Oligarch class didn't do anything to help his favor. Lets not forget how many bones Biden has thrown the fossil fuel industry trying to "please all sides" (mostly because of Manchin no doubt but still). I never understood why people could ever vote for trump, sure I distained the toxic Neoliberal Hillary Clinton but Trump is and always has been an unhinged egotistical sadistic psychopath born with a silver spoon and whose only talent aside from money is being a career con artist. Hillary Trump Biden all of them are frankly evil people motivated by self interest but to differing degrees of Evil. Trump notably is a bad faith actor to his core as seen in how he tried to undermine the election, having literally no bottom line in how far he is willing to go or do to get his way and viewing everyone and everything as disposable pawns in his pursuit of power. Sure it wasn't as blatantly obvious before he was elected the first time but all the signs were there of an unhinged untrustworthy man motivated only by pure self interest and ego. The people I talked to asking why they made the choice for trump seem to have at least back then did it mostly as a vote of frustration but talk to them now and most of them are so sunken into the cult lies that you can't reach whatever is left of them without being in their cult. Trump literally uses the same kind of language and appeals as cult leaders....

At this point, if they put up a shoebox full of dead spiders I’d vote for it to keep Trump out of office. If you pay attention to the way the Supreme Court is ruling right now, they’re clearly primed to surge even harder to the right if they get a friendly executive branch. Christian nationalism will absolutely take over if Trump wins in November. We have run out of safe guards. I’ve been hearing unserious hacks tell me every election of my lifetime has been the most epic and profoundly consequential election ever. It’s been bullshit every single time, but we are at a legitimate turning point. Just to be clear, the Democratic Party is culpable. They have repeatedly refused to do what’s right, even when they have had the indisputable majority to do so. They could have legislated federally protected abortion, but didn’t want to give up their political football. Same story as the GOP and immigration. We are at the risk of losing our nation because we’ve been governed by naked self interests and corrupt opportunists.

And because money can only gain value by being spent otherwise it has literally zero sum value it does not make anything happen. So money and wealths value is directly tied to how fast it moves through the population, with a faster movement meaning more value; very simple.. But the ways that mathmatic hiccup moves through everything is very complex and always makes its own pathways that could take lifetimes in research and never come up with a satisfactory answer for how.

Honestly, I hope whatever happens, Haiti gets a lot better. They've been through too much.

...Kind of agreeing with the semi-conductor factory. There's lots of solar power to be had there. If cooling is the issue, maybe an underground loop of waterpipes to cool the water and dump the heat underground?

This video was the first place I heard about the chip factory in NY. With that one, I have heard of three attempts to start a chip manufacturing plant in the US, Wisconsin (which seems to be DOA), Arizona (which seems to be on indefinite hiatus), and now NY.

@@Haibing22 We do have chip factories in the USA, we just need more.

The green party has always been about building unions. MPU should be working with them vs the Dems.

Bitcoin?

lol! That is what I always think of, too. His name is Brian Tyler Cohen, and he's a young wannabe Rachel Maddow except with a lot less education. He started with his own RU-vid channel, and now he is becoming a guest on others, and I believe he has signed a deal with MSNBC. He's a mouthpiece for the democrats but I do find some of his videos interesting.

@@Jaredthedude1 no, the asian singers.

def either sold out or were US intelligence funded controlled opposition from the start

Yea I was kind of surprised to see this, they usually seem to be center/center-left on their videos but this was definitely supporting Biden hard.

This comment needs more myopic hyperbole!!!!!

Bro Trump killed 1000000 Americans by doing NOTHING during covid, and even withheld PPE to frontliners! You are the genocide all Americans enabler.

Very anti-china in this video too. Not voting for biden. I don't agree with their effort to view biden's policies as "radical" when it's the same ideology given a new paint. I think they only used the word as clickbait.

Ikr? So obviously a campaign ad! (And a pithy one, at that!)

same thing i thought lol

I hope people can see through how transparently awful this video is. the fact that Biden voted for NAFTA being left out is just the beginning
