Comedian Russel Brand has recently made a film encouraging the'bashing' of banks to go with his recently published book...."REVOLUTION"
Russel Brand is probably one of Britain's most well known anti-capitalist and anti-establishment campaigners. But there is a reason for this. Campaigners, anti-capitalist, anti-establishment and any journalists who try to give backing to these, -what the right wing capitalists annoyingly refer to as 'leftys' or 'looney leftys' do not get their fare share of exposure by our predominantly capitalist corporation controlled media.
In fact I am sure that the capitalist main stream media use Russel Brand so they can portray the 'left' in the way that the controlling capitalists want the majority of the public to see it.........As the Looney Left!
....When it is merely a trick to confirm to any wavering right wingers, that the left are just a bunch of loonies,..Just as Russel Brand can often appear. This is made easy of course by the fact that he is or at least used to be a comedian.
Whilst the capitalist tabloids will portray statements he makes for example when he likened the current financial system with a vacuum cleaner that was malfunctioning during a BBC interview, which was great for the Daily Mail who recently decided to do some analysis on the interview. To the Daily Mail, it was just an opportunity to make leftys appear loony.
The comment Russel made was when asked for a comment on the financial system..."If my vacuum cleaner went nuts and forced me to live in economic slavery, I wouldn't roll my eyes and say "Oh well!", and humbly do it's bidding. I'd turn it off and f*** it out the window!"
The daily mail apparently brought in an economist to analyse Russel's comments. Professor Chandran Kukathas from the London School of Economics....
The economist's expert knowledge brought the following response to Russel's Vacuum cleaner comment.....
"Is the industry really like a vacuum cleaner?
How does one turn it off?
Or throw it out the window?"
I feel that any one with only basic knowledge of economics and finance could have come up with a more in depth response.
How did the idea that the banking system has been sucking in money from every individual on earth in various ways, such as...........................
i)Through the banks bail outs through the taxes we pay
ii) Through our losses in property values and other assets. These values were sucked out due to the failure of the system.
iii)Through cuts to services which are a result of taxes being used for bank bail outs instead of the public services we thought we were paying fo
....................go straight over Professor Chandran Kukathas's head?
It's a shame that for the price of his education he isn't able to see that........
The financial system that is operating today is the same one that failed us. The economic damage it did when the crisis surfaced is simply being ratcheted up and the suffering of the bottom half of economy at the very least is still increasing. And there is no sign of any let up.....and no sign of the U.K., U.S. or the European governments finally recognizing that a plan B needs to be rolled out......As wacky as the capitalists at the Daily Mail and the BBC want him to appear, Russel Brand pretty much hit the nail on the head.
Now, going back to the London School of Economics which is where the daily mail found their economist!
The problem with the London School of Economics, is that where an individual has been educated at this university, you may find that you want to use the word economist in quotation marks. This is because economists who are influenced by LSE may not be what they appear to be on the tin. Although most are unaware of it, including most disapointingly, the students being educated there, The London School of Economics is as supportive of 'free markets' capitalism to pretty much the same degree as the other L.S.E. -The London Stock Exchange. Any comments which you will see which originate from 'economists' from the London School of Economics, at least those comments that make it to the media are almost certain to support the current system.....relentlessly.... religiously!..........
.......Yet most would imagine the London School of Economics to be a place where alternatives are examined. Where young people could be nurtured into a kind of Mother Teresa of the economics world and could eventually create a system which rewarded people for solving food shortages, the problem of immigration and the for ever growing problem of inequality. From what I can gather, the London School of Economics is simply a place where genuine open minded students go to get educated. Probably in the hope, they can make a difference one day in the future. But what actually happens is they are brain washed into believing that the failed 'free markets' system is the only way and there is no genuine alternative.
What the London School of Economics does then, is provide an endless supply of waffle to back up the biased capitalists who influence our main stream media. This gets used against any supporters of left wing policies which the right wing media choose to give publicity to.......Which is as explained, not very often.
So the right wing press and media only give publicity to 'left wing' activists when they think it suits the right wing capitalists.
-This means that any person who can give a more clear and convincing picture of the state of this and the over all world economy, -the right wing press are likely to give them a wide berth. Although the right wing press are happy to quote Russel Brand's comments on economics in bold black letters, they will be far less willing to do the same with activist and journalist Owen Jones. If the right wing press had given more time to people like Owen Jones in the past, well the simple fact is we would not have a press and media that is dominated by the right wing capitalists,- and that is what they are afraid of!
The corrupt capitalist's biggest threat are people like Owen Jones, who are able to explain the problems we all face in a way we can all understand. The day that people of the likes of Owen Jones attract the publicity they deserve, will be the time that the new students of the the London School of Economics will begin to realise the choice between the right wing capitalist system and the left wing socialists, is simply a difference of the truth & sustainability.... against deceit and lies backing greed and 'free markets' system which uses fraud to increase wealth within banks, corporations and individuals within governments.
Although the capitalist media may use Russel Brand a representative of the 'loony leftys' he is a supporter of Owen Jones. They have similar views on many issues such as the current dismantling of the NHS by the Tories. But you are probably less likely to see Owen Jones treated in the same way. Owen Jones is definitely no loony. It's probably easier for them to just ignore him and pretend he doesn't exist which is what most of the right wing media tries to do most of the time.
I haven't yet read "Revolution" by Russel Brand, but if you are open minded about the possibilities of an alternative, you might have your views expanded by "The Establishment", the latest book by Owen Jones....
This book clarifies the state of the British media, the way it has been abused for corporate and political benefits and the appalling influence it has had on our country. As well as just about every other problem which has contributed to the current crisis we are in! . If I was to use one word to describe the picture of the political, corporate and media situation it describes, as being the past few decades to the present in the U.K., the only word I could use is 'devastating.'
I must have read going on for 100 hundred books on economics, finance etc. I think this may be the very best of the bunch. When I get some money together I think I'll buy a few thousand copies and stand out side Eton College and the London School of Economics and give them to all the students free! The students will get a free education and it should pretty much solve all our problems for the future!
Good luck to Owen Jones and To Russel Brand in hoping that their books will inspire others to follow them and discover the truth that many of us are already aware of!
