9:36 "...no longer was it possible for governments simply to skim off resources from peasants through the threat of force... they have to become managers of markets. ...governments begun to develop entirely new types of partnerships with their citizens..." Governments harvest up to or even more than 50% of income of its citizens. If citizens refuse to pay, they are thrown in jail or killed, if they resist. How is it not a threat of force, how is it entirely new type of partnership? And secondly there's no such thing as "manager of markets", the market by definition manages itself. And so these "managers" are not needed at all. Otherwise great presentation, thank you for educating our youth. Just turn down government propaganda a bit, and it will be perfect.

Same
young la flame he in sicko mode
