00:09
When we look at modern man, we have to face the fact
00:15
that modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit
00:24
which stands in glaring contrast to his scientific and technological abundance.
00:32
We've learned to fly the air like birds. We've learned to swim the seas like fish.
00:38
And yet we haven't learned to walk the earth as brothers and sisters.
00:42
[music]
00:46
Folks, we're in trouble.
00:48
The whole system stinks.
00:50
The whole idea of greed and profit and the exploitation of other people, it stinks.
00:55
Money operates on one value system. It defines value by price.
01:01
[music]
01:03
You see, no one notices what the true function of the system is.
01:07
It is masked by propaganda and myth.
01:10
So far as poverty is concerned, there has never in history been a more effective machine
01:15
for eliminating poverty than the free enterprise system and the free market.
01:19
[laughter]
01:23
Do we have a health care system? No, we don't.
01:26
We have a sickness and disability care system.
01:29
Is curing patients of cancer and disease a sustainable business model?
01:33
Asks analysts at investment bank Goldman Sachs in an April 10th report.
01:38
You see, the dominant functions of a system are often not what they seem.
01:43
People think the market is there to feed and clothe them.
01:46
No, the primary function of this economy is to exploit scarcity and increase consumption.
01:51
Hidden camera footage shows how Amazon, the largest retailer in the world,
01:55
systematically destroys billions of dollars worth of goods every year.
01:59
And it's funny, people talk about green capitalism as if it could ever be a thing.
02:05
[music]
02:08
How to say no. That's the subject under discussion.
02:12
And I suddenly realized looking at that, that that means that every fundamental capacity
02:17
that has enabled our species to survive, we've defined by our economic system as worthless.
02:24
Our ability to care for each other, to come to each other's rescue,
02:28
to stand up for what's right, to oppose what's wrong.
02:31
Actively or is it a subconscious thing as part of capitalism, is to promote racism.
02:36
All of those fundamental capacities that we as a species need in order to survive,
02:42
we've defined by our economic system as worthless.
02:47
Now is there another way? Of course there is.
02:51
The question is, can we overcome the force of this system before it kills us?
02:56
Because that is exactly what it's going to do in the end.
