Lyrics -
I'm not the one who made the world what it is today
I'm not the one who caused the problems started long ago
But now I deal with all the consequence that troubles our times
I carry on and never once have even questioned why
Yeah! I'm innocent
But the weight of the world is on my shoulders
Yeah! I'm innocent
But the battles started are far from over
We 're not the ones who leave the homeless in the streets at night
We're not the ones who've kept minorities and women down
Still we grow and then the problems they become our own
We carry on without even realizing why
Yeah! We're innocent
But the weight of the world is on our shoulders
Yeah! We're innocent
( I CHanged this)But the battles that left us are far from over
(2x)
We're not the ones whose pollution blackened our skies And ruined our streams
We're not the ones who made the nuclear bombs That threaten our lives
We're not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands
We're not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night
And even if we try and not become so overwhelmed
And if we make some contribution to the plight we see
Still our descendants will inherit our mistakes of today
They'll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why

Ha, funny stuff, I have a subscription to Charles Veitch's youtube channel and today, of all days, I received a video suggestion which is precisely him talking with Stefan Molyneux. So I had seen that name before after all! Still, I do think I had seen it before today as well. I'll watch some of his videos. Do not go without reading Bob Black's "Abolition of Work", and also Alexander Berkman's "ABC of Anarchism". Keep an open mind when you read them and remember that we're both anti-statist.10 years ago

Oh it's not the McDonald's clients I worry about, it's the animals and forests paying the real price that those people's food costs, and the rest of the humans who have to deal with the dire consequences of their unethical consumption. Corporations can't be trusted to do the right thing, and neither can their clients who buy into all the advertising and/or simply do not care. Like I've said before, as long as there's money to be made, there will be supply for all selfish uneducated demands.10 years ago

What's to stop a brand new company from entering the market and undercutting them? Seriously? I don't need to answer that. Just think about it. (Hint: it's not regulations and licenses.) I think you really do put too much faith in corporations, and a good look at the real world is enough to find it's not justified. All the corporations I mentioned before, they're not to be regulated or self-regulated, they're to stop what they're doing, permanently. Then we can build a better world.10 years ago

And don't sweat it about the language. You're far more articulate than most native english speakers I encounter online. And you're not an ad hominem debater nor one who resorts to insults or throws tantrums, which is quite rare and I salute you for that. English isn't my first language either. Just heard something from Molyneux on another video while typing this that I wasn't impressed by since it denoted a worrisome lack of understanding of communism. Another issue, I guess.10 years ago

The name did ring a bell. I thought I may had already seen a video of his, but I wasn't sure. so I googled him and watched some excerpts of a few videos. Don't know for sure if I saw him or not before. I didn't see enough now, surely, to have a full grasp of what he's all about, but it didn't strike me as anything innovative in the anarcho-capitalist thought. So far I just heard a lot of rehashing of the same principles and suppositions, but in a different rethorical fashion than usual.10 years ago

well let them harm them selves, they choose to eat at McDonald's. If it's their choice, who are you to tell them otherwise. Let them plump.10 years ago

no price cartels can exist for long periods of time because some of the conspirators will always break ranks and lower their price, their in in for the profit, remember? What better way to make even more profit than to undercut your competition ? And even if that doesn't happen, what's to stop a brand new company from entering the market and undercutting the whole cartel? I'll tell you what, regulations and licenses, they are not for your protection, they protect the big players from competition10 years ago

You need to look no further than the first corporation that we started discussing here: McDonald's. That's a perfect example of a corporation that is supported by hundreds of millions of consumers who are basically either clueless or could care less that they're harming themselves, animals and the environment. General ignorance, selfishness or carelessness keeps them doing what they do, because the money keeps rolling in, regardless of the overall consequences of their business.10 years ago

And I've asked you before, what about when giant multinationals gang up on the consumers and all raise their prices together? As long as there is money, those with more of it will have power over those with less of it. That's hierachism, which leads to coercion, which is antithetical to anarchy. Capitalism makes aggressive marketing a virtue, it praises those who get rich, doesn't matter who they have to trample on the way up. It puts psychopaths in high places and reveres them.10 years ago

Not to mention that, like I said before, education would be even more controlled by corporations and would serve their interests first. It happens now for example in medical schools, with pharmaceuticals sponsoring them as long as they teach what the sponsors want. Bayer pretty much controls the entire program at the university of veterinary medicine that I know of, for example, and the school can't counter them because they depend on their products and money. That's the invisible hand!10 years ago

That's possibly the one argument from proponents of anarcho-capitalism that boggles me the most. You honestly believe that people would not be even more brainwashed by advertising than they are now in a world even more controlled by corporations? Look around you. People buy shit they don't need all the time as long as they can afford it, and often even when they can't. You really think people in general would become ethical consumers with brutal marketing campaigns targeting all types of people?10 years ago
Ricardo Petinga
You put faith in the power of consumers to choose wisely and force corporations to change, but it's naive to think so. It wouldn't happen, not as a rule, and especially when everything is privately owned, including education. Corporations would just make people believe whatever's more convenient, or attack those that boycott them. It would be a big dog eat small dog world, even more so than now. Pushing competition and using profit as motive will only lead to conflict and injustice.10 years ago

Take the example of Costa Rica, who refused to allow oil companies to drill in their country, even though it would've brought them tons of money. The government decided to put their environment above financial gains. Corporations don't. And when all corporations act that way, especially the bigger ones, consumers are left with only as much choices as the corporate world allows them to. Anyone who tries to start something better without enough money to counter them, will get crushed.10 years ago

are you familiar with the work of Stefan Molyneux ? I suggest you check out his youtube channel, obviously he is far more articulate than me since english is my 3rd language. He is THE man to go to if you want to learn more about anarcho capitalism, morality and much more...10 years ago
