Bill Burr Rips Apart Capitalism

What's up, guys? Comedian Bill Byrd recently responded to a message from one of his fans, basically disagreeing with him by speaking favorably of socialism. I'd like you to take a look at this because it's pretty phenomenal. Socialism. I

bill

you redhead. I really appreciate the Sincerely, How Are You? Last week you mentioned, you don't know why people demonize socialism. I was very surprised by that statement, oh Jesus Christ, all the countries that have tried socialism have failed and are responsible for tens of millions of deaths. Okay, so you would say that

capitalism

is working and it isn't?

Do you know when? How is? 99% of wealth is not like two percent of people's hands. All these tent cities you're telling me this is working. I do not believe that

capitalism

is responsible for tens of millions of deaths. Anyway, Russia, Germany, China, Cuba and more recently Venezuela have tried or are now socialist countries. As far as I know, whatever Cuba was trying to do, we stopped them with an embargo or whatever we did, we've been with them for 60 years, so I think you're looking like you know that what they do A lot of people are looking at your own country through rose colored glasses the same way you look at your own sports team like oh my team doesn't cheat but your team does, you're really looking the other way so that capitalism has done to other countries, all the clandestine work, all the wars we have.

We have fought in the air. We mention freedom, where most of it is about natural resources. All these countries where we have entered and you know, they are trapped in heads of government who are going to do what we want so that we can take. take advantage of them like I want to sit there and look at capitalism like it's, you know, I don't know, man, right, I took off my Birkenstocks, so I'm going to read the rest of this here, okay, socialism, it all starts from the same way, create. a boogeyman like corporations or the rich or a race oh yeah we've never done that in this country we've never created a boogeyman lol yeah there never was one I mean Jesus Christ dude blame them For all your troubles, yeah, we never did that, us leaders. then I promised to solve all the problems, oh wow, little by little the government starts to control every aspect of your life, why does that sound so familiar?

Promise that every I mean, don't you like to record all of our phone conversations now? to receive a microchip uh promise that everyone will have equal equity and outcome this creates mediocrity loss of the middle class loss of the middle class where have I seen that before innovation? uh Punisher, you know corporations are buying houses, now they're just buying them upstairs so they can broadcast on the air how it's literally the American dream to buy a house, they're going to take it away from you in this country, that reduces the tax money that goes out. to the government, man, I can't read all this horse, this is all we're doing too capitalism okay, I'll get to the end here capitalism no, you know what, let's read all this because it's funny that he's acting like none of this is happening in this country, um, and you know what's funny about people I don't like getting out of here this is my favorite thing, but you can look at your sports team and ask what this coach is doing and then no one goes like you're not going, no, I'm criticizing him because I love him and I want him to win and punish the rich, which eventually leads them to leave the country.

Oh yeah, that hasn't happened. That hasn't happened. Yes, the rich don't like you to know that their money leaves the country and then comes back. the form of an interest free loan that is then forgiven, friend Jesus, come on, the richest people generally employ most of the population, oh wow, disarm the citizens so they can't. The revolt controls the media how to promote the controlled government immediately there are two. guys who own the media, Ted Turner and that other guy, the Fox News guy, that's why now we're Hatfields and McCoys, we disarm the citizens so they can't control the media by the rebellion, like promote the agenda of the government with propaganda and then censor everyone. our other ideas, yes, create areas where you can only protest with your dad around the corner, away from the media, yes, okay, eventually all rights, centers, journalists and politicians will be taken away, opponents are imprisoned or executed, eventually the leaders will become exactly what they originally campaigned against Jesus Christ, friend.

I've forgotten what he does. There is much more on an economic level, but as a colleague it is too complicated for me to understand it. Okay, I'm a buddy too, but dude, that's all happened. If you look at all the rights and everything you've lost in the last 20 years, I don't even know, I don't even begin to create a racist, boogeyman genocide every week, all that, we've done all that. We've done all that, you know, when I was a kid there were rules about media ownership, no one could own seven, it was rules of seven, no one could own seven radio stations, newspapers, television stations, blah, blah, blah, in a single market. because they knew that some control if you own all of that, if you control the media, you control the thinking and yet they let Ted Turner in on that uh uh.

I mean Ralph David Rupert Murdoch did exactly that and hosted CNN and Fox News. the balls to present the people who are on television as journalists and then also act as if you are watching news, but no, you are watching propaganda, now that you have seen that, as I said at the beginning, I thought. It was very incredible and I hope you found it the same. I wouldn't respect it. I would have expected to get that kind of response from Bill Burr, but I'm still glad we got it and we're here to review it now. I have to tell you, first of all, that this part of the video shouldn't be very long because Bill Burr's answer was so excellent that I don't think I need to add much to what he already had to say, but I'll still put in my two cents here and in the end anyway, so first I'd like to point out the obvious: the level of projection that occurs when the pro-capitalist crowd comes out to defend what they hold so near and dear to their hearts is pretty hysterical.

To me and honestly, it's a little disgusting. Bill Bird made it as if my team wasn't cheating, but his team knows these problems that capitalism causes. uh you know your defenders will come out and blame almost anything except the economy. The system that is really causing the problems, so getting into the things I would like to highlight from that video is, first of all, the author of that message mentioned other countries that have apparently tried socialism or a version of it and pointed out their failures and everywhere they have tried and failed, well, I have news for you, you cannot talk about the failures of another country for trying an economic system and not talk about everything that happens with it, so let's talk about Cuba for a brief moment, how can you talk about Cuba and the struggles of the Cuban people in the Cuban government and not mention the very harsh and illegal embargo that the United States has imposed on Cuba, as well as this old program, how can you talk of a place like Venezuela and not mention the economic issue? war that the United States and the main capitalist countries are waging against Venezuela in the form of sanctioned programs, how can we talk about places like Nicaragua, for example?

I don't think it was named, but I'm going to mention it anyway and let's not talk once again about the sanctions program, economic war cuts, you see, you can't talk about an economic system that is failing when the main capitalist countries, specifically the United States, in many cases they have done everything, whether in the form of coups d'état or the overthrow of their democracies. elected governments, whether it be the ridiculous economic war or anything else that is within their means, repress, delay, stunt, oppose or completely undo and simply completely stop their growth in any kind of positivity that may arise from their adventure of do something.

It's different when you don't toe the line and promote neoliberalism, capitalism and neoconservatism. Well, the major capitalist countries will either surrender to your government or hit you with the cruel sanctions program like the United States is doing to China, which currently because China is not following the capitalist model and they are hitting China with sanctions, but in reality It's not working because China is already on its own two feet and while we're on the topic of China, let's talk about China for a brief moment. the success of socialism in their case, China calls what they have socialism with Chinese characteristics.

I would bet a million dollars that the gentleman who wrote that letter to Bill Burr wouldn't be able to give you even a semblance of what that means o It seems that China has experienced growth in the last two decades compared to the United States, many times more than the United States has been growing in the last two decades. What the American working class has been earning over the last two decades has quadrupled in the last two decades. Salaries in general are stagnant. Real wages overall haven't gone anywhere. China's economy is expanding and growing exponentially and the United States is The US economy is going nowhere or shrinking, there is no comparison if you want to talk about success, that is probably the best example you can show them to anyone when asked about success under a different economic system that is capitalism.

I mean, if it's the ridiculous move toward government control that you mentioned in that message, that red

bill

, I mean, Edward Snowden is literally a hero for exposing our government, the government of a capitalist society that promotes capitalism. violating our fourth amendment rights, you know. the NSA spying and everything else it did if that's not government control I have no idea what it is if it's bailing out these big banks and corporations that are too big to fail who does that the government does that it seems like there's a lot of government Also, there is control in capitalism and I'll end this in the past here in the present and certainly in the future people have always disagreed about what they think socialism is like.

Socialism can't be defined as a specific thing that we don't do quite justice to, but of course the people who would like it or the people who are so important, they really don't give a damn about that fact, whether it's the Chinese model, or the model they support in Western Europe that we normally refer to. as social democracy, some of them may call it socialism. Others may disagree whether it is the old Soviet model or anything else. People have always had different opinions on what socialism specifically is and that is a fact. This video was phenomenal.

I hope you found it. As lovely as I did, like I said, I didn't expect to get this from Bill Burr, but I'm glad I did.
