Capitalism Is The Crisis: Radical Politics in the Age of Austerity examines the ideological roots of the "austerity" agenda and proposes revolutionary paths out of the current crisis. The film features original interviews with Chris Hedges, Derrick Jensen, Michael Hardt, Peter Gelderloos, Leo Panitch, David McNally, Richard J.F. Day, Imre Szeman, Wayne Price, and many more!
The 2008 "financial crisis" in the United States was a systemic fraud in which the wealthy finance capitalists stole trillions of public dollars. No one was jailed for this crime, the largest theft of public money in history.
Instead, the rich forced working people across the globe to pay for their "crisis" through punitive "austerity" programs that gutted public services and repealed workers' rights.
Austerity was named "Word of the Year" for 2010.
This documentary explains the nature of capitalist crisis, visits the protests against austerity measures, and recommends revolutionary paths for the future.
Special attention is devoted to the crisis in Greece, the 2010 G20 Summit protest in Toronto, Canada, and the remarkable surge of solidarity in Madison, Wisconsin.
It may be their crisis, but it's our problem.

capitalism is not the problem, it is the abuse of it.

So everyone would be getting everything they needed, commodities Included, for free and people who do not work and have no physical or mental disability will not receive. And you have to work with a certain lvl of quality because repetitive slacking will be recorded and u will be fired

If we all did everything for free and did everything with quality then what we produce can be givin to others for free and u in return will receive the fruit of their labors for free in return it's that simple

Ayn Rand is for psychopaths. She admired a serial killer and accepted social assistance later in life; so, she is also perfect reading for hypocrites.

Be sure to read Socialism: A love story -- AKA Atlas Shrugged

The last 20 minutes of the film discusses concepts such as greater worker self-determination (in the form of worker co-operatives) and the idea that, beyond creating actual democracy in the workplace, we must transform the economic networks in which the workplace exists. The basic philosophy is anarchist-communist, but I would not limit the ideas on display to just that. I encourage you to watch the last third of the film again. And, no, it does not advocate state communism.

it most certainly is capitalist. not as much america? i you mean as corrupt and exploitative as america, then perhaps not on the same level, but just a notch below.

these "economics" textbooks only assess the world through the eyes of capitalism. it forces monetary value upon everything in order to validate its system. communal non-monetary living make sup for 99% (perhaps not exact, but meant to get the point that it is the vast majority) of human history. the moment the money system was created violence, depression, poverty, starvation, and inequality rose with is. economic books don't help anything, it doesn't relate to the natural world, money isnt real
