From The Free School University at OccupyBoston we have Professor Victor Wallis Speaks on the “Roots of the Current Crisis.” Video 1 of 3

There is much that Professor Wallis says that matches what I have been saying on this blog and in private conversations. I’ll name just a few below.

1. The existence of Socialist and Communist governments scared capitalists into making concessions to the middle-class. Once Communism was defeated, all hell was free to break loose
2. Politically educating the public is the first priority of a President or of a political movement

Some items mentioned in the video that I want to remember to follow up include:

Capitalism Hits the Fan – 1 hour lively lecture. Rick Wolfe

Open Media Boston

The “S” Word: A short history of an American tradition, Socialism – John Nichols book.

October 16, 2011.

Part 2 of the video has been posted.

I am not as infatuated with this part as I was the first part.
