"In a special interview, Truthout contributor Henry Giroux takes us back to the basics of what can be seen as an ongoing and accelerating war between the rich and everyone else, an event that has resulted in a mass inability "to translate private troubles into larger structural public considerations."
"We have no way of understanding that link anymore," Giroux says, "because what we've done is we've defined freedom in a way that suggests it's the freedom to do anything you want and screw everybody else."
Brilliant video Henry Giroux, well articulated. This is a hard concept for some to grasp, most likely because the individualistic thinking is embedded in every major institution from school, to work. It takes a lot to see the forest for the trees.
you have to believe the world can be a better place and you have to fight for it.
Exactly. That's why we need to elect Trump who will help us fight for it! #WALL
Exactly why we need to fight to defeat Trump and his party, who fight against us.
I adore and love this man. He is my guru now, and forever!
Fantastic.
Thanks Henry.
Agreement.
This is coming up in my timeline now, 2020
Bunch of morons out there who don't understand algorithms LOL. Big tech is going to control you sheep first.
This is coming up on my time-line now Feb2024. Better late than never
I really love this video. Very informative and I think this will serve as an eye opener for every people who'll watch this. Thank you very much.
I can see clearly, thank you. This was the most clear explanation on neo liberalism, this continues to develop a caste system, too many people are hurting, while these ‘law makers’ and their mouth pieces accumulate exorbitant wealth.
Best brief 1-minute summary I have yet come across defining what neoliberals are, am going to write it down on paper and stick it on the wall.
The very word neoliberalism is the exact opposite of what it literally means in political practice at this time.
It ain't new and it ain't liberal!
Kinda like they said about the Holy Roman Empire ;)
what a wise man
neoliberalism is a euphemism or a deflective term, and its intention is to avoid using terms like "radical capitalism", "corruption" or similar terms, or even just capitalism. questioning and criticising capitalism is made difficult through complex and ambiguous terms like "neoliberalism". the term allows us to avoid heavily connotated terms and therefore obscures the political discourse.
you are an incredible human being
PREACH!
When the financial sector is borrowing more money than anyone else, . . . (Wasn't the financial sector supposed to invest in labor and production, companies, etc. remember making "investments" ? That is how ridiculous things are, just a joke.
It seems to me that collectivism is the solution for our Society, is it the main goal of what you have expressed?
He's a walking, breathing Naomi Klein book.
Doesn't the more Authoritarian neoconservative ideology overlap with neoliberalism in this critique?
It does as a long as their interests overlap
1:24 i want this dude to go to Africa for 5 years and help the hungry, FREE OF CHARGE! no pay, because profit, as he says is only a motivational assumption.. that said, why would ANY ONE EVERY COLLECT a pay check?!?! why are we all not in African now helping people in need? if good will is more important to humans the self preservation then why are we not doing this? because self preservation is the first on every individuals list, and in today's world that means you need money OR you will be those starving people.. his argument and points sound like a egalitarian community college freshman pot head who has not thought past the end of last year..
Lots of people go to Africa free of charge to help the poor and hungry. In fact lots of people have to save up their own money, or fund raise so that they can have the privilege of helping others for free. The notion that all productivity and and humanitarianism must be incentivized is a delusion, that is repeatedly being disproved time and time again, in many more examples than the "Go to Africa", example. There are certainly those who do hold the "What's in it for me" mentality, and it makes sense for those people to assume everyone else is the same. But they are not. To say that you need money or you will starve, is true only under the current social structure. Henry is proposing that it doesn't have to be that way, and your suggestion that it's either Self Preservation or Death, is a false dichotomy. One can acquire the means for sufficient self preservation, and ALSO help others who are unable to do the same... free of charge.
My vote: Bernie!
Bernie the Capitalist millionaire from books and speaking engagements?....ok
Fascinating. I'm new to Dr Giroux. My observation, well what is he offering as an alternative? The rich and the poor are not going away. Human beings are not solved by the state or economics, we are not solved from with out, we are solved from within. His points regarding education ought to have included parents. The family, in it's broadest sense, is the cornerstone of 'any' civilisation. We have allowed the state to redefine 'family' and it's failing, miserably. Fathers have a central role to play here and masculinity needs room to breathe in an era where the media perceives it as toxic and at the same time is fascinated by homo-eroticism. Ne Timeas.
He's written many books I think you'd find helpful... haven't read any fully to recommend them
Democracy and Capitalism are at odds with one another.
Give me an example of a democratic country that isn't capitalist.
And yes, the Scandinavian "socialist paradises" also have a capitalist economy, as the market forces shape the prices of goods and everybody is free to engage in any commercial activity.
2:19 ya, thanks for passing the buck, people of your thinking
Nice
I am sorry to remain a fossil. Fuck! I like skulls to.
thx gosh i managed to ditch that cultural marxist sect
I wonder how this affects the poorest people in the Africa, Latin america and Asia. People whose sole focus is a daily survival.
Wealth gap and neoliberal policies in my opinion are a first world problems.
Agree with everything up to when he said Republicans are saying kids who have a free lunch should work for it. This is a good thing. To teach responsibility and discipline brings the best from people. I bet he is cool with play doh and videos of puppies in safe spaces though...
What do you have against play-doh and puppies? I agree that teaching responsibility and discipline are good things, but you're suggesting that we deny people the necessities to survive unless they work for it. That's not a moral lesson... That's slavery. And it's evil.
Why should it just be kids with poor parents that need these early hard taught lessons of responsibility
Felipe N A in other words, you are neoliberal fascist. Weird that you’re proud of that
0:41 What is "public wealth"? Last I checked the state is funded through taxation. Hands off my wealth!
Public Wealth is taking in taxation and providing Public Goods like: Roads and General infrastructure, Healthcare, Education, Culture and Military. All of which you cannot provide on your on stupid account. 10 IQ points later and you will understand.. BRUH!
Thinking that we can change the world only by collectively doing it, is a corrosive mindset for one's core ideology. I think it absolves you and takes away the pride from attempting to change the world on your own as an individual. Perhaps, the world is tired of the notion of heroes...
That very mindset is what needs to change
@@Fuar11 Yes obey the collective..."FOR THE GREATER GOOD".....right...............
In the words of Penn and his partner Teller... Bullshit. Not so much his partner Teller.
"And that's a long walk to revo... Oh sorry institutions" :)) Sounds a bit like a Marxist
So what
@@bulentavci2951 well marxists ideas killed tens of millions so... Yeah, it is similar to proposing some nazi ideas....
Yes you have to fight but not blindly. Get some statistics out here, graphs and charts, speak more loudly than talkytalk..
Long march through the institutions ey Henry, sound like you've been reading a bit too much of Marx
your part of the problem.
+Fast Slow hows that
Firstly, the idea that everyone who has a position like this is somehow a 'marxist' is ridiculous and secondly, i would recommend reading some Karl Marx, a lot of what he wrote is just common sense (despite being taken to the extreme by some communist states). If you can see past all the western propaganda, he was right on a lot of stuff like - workers need to unite to prevent their own enslavement (economic), increasing inequality is an inevitable consequence of capitalist system and there are some things the state should have a monopoly on like - the issuance of money. All of these things are coming to fruition right now and Henry Giroux is putting his head above the parapet to bring those issues to us. There is a difference between people who see that Marx made some very good points and those who are 'Marxists'.
Why do you think capitalism increase inequality?
If i really have to explain that to you then im circling back to my original statement - 'your part of the problem'.
There are lots of resources on the internet laying out how capitalism - as it is now - increases inequality.
Such a bleak outcome from the fervent embrace of hard right, neoliberal principles with its punitive, and conservative social policies.
“more police than teachers” huh? wtf is he talking about. total embellishment and lie.
This is a very socialist lecture, if I wasn't assigned to watch this video I wouldn't have watched it.
Are you discomforted by opposing ideas and perspectives? Do you only surround yourself with people whose ideas you agree with? If this was a school assignment, you should understand that school, in particular upper level college and university are places that will challenge your viewpoints and present you with alternatives. You don't have to agree with it all, but you should rejoice at the opportunity to learn and understand the world beyond the one you've constructed for yourself. But if you are unwilling to even try and appreciate the perspectives and opinions of others... Do you really deserve to have an opinion of your own?
There's nothing socialist about speaking out against arresting ten year olds for dress code violations. thinkprogress.org/mississippi-county-jails-kids-for-school-dress-code-violations-tardiness-doj-alleges-1fa9a26ae83b#.8haaji93o
@@Taniseth haha college is a place to challenge your views. Thats funny. More like indoctrinate on only one view. college is the place that isolates themeselves from opposing views. College is the place of safe spaces and eco chambers.
It is because you are indoctrinated idiot
The climate isn't changing and society isn't stratifying. Everything will be okay.
Fluent sarcasm spoken here?
This man is a walking contradiction, he has the temrity to complain about the interconnection between corporations and government, yet believes business should be subject to increased regulation.
Governments should be free of corporate influence. Seems like a pretty easy to understand concept to me
the interconnection between corporations and governments in unhealthy. That's why
