I'm sure he made several million dollars directing "Avengers". No one does HYPOCRISY better than the Left.

A good example for why I never go see movies anymore. I’ll just download them illegally and chance getting thrown in jail instead. :D

I don't believe that Whedon is making anything like a sophisticated critique of various economic systems, but nevertheless he is going down a path that some wise men have already traveled.

Hillaire Belloc and GK Chesterton made the point (100 years ago) that socialism was tyranny and was not a moral system, and not a solution to the world's problems. Likewise, they made the point that capitalism would tend inevitably to something that called the Servile State, which we would probably call fascism.

I look at America today and I see that capitalism here (I don't mean the free market) has resulted in something I recognize as fascism and which I see as very similar to socialism. I think we are serfs and I think it is a result of Big Government colluding with Big Business.

Belloc andf Chesterton argued in favor an economic system based on Christian morality, because they said neither capitalism nor socialism could be depended upon to build a decent society with long-term staying power.

Socialism remains a taboo word in American politics

I wonder why.

Maybe because of the National SOCIALIST German Workers Party, or the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics.

You are batting for the same team as the Nazi's you ignorant Putz!

From the article: “They also refer to the President as a socialist, though this and many of their other claims misuse the term.” How is the term MISUSED when referring to obama?

There is just no end to the self-destructive, hypocritical fools in Hollywood.

Has there ever been an industry that is so completely made up of idiots who have no idea where their own wealth and status comes from?

It’d almost be worth it to see everything collapse from their policy proscriptions and be able to walk up to them when they are destitute and tell them what idiots they are.

But they still wouldn’t get it. They’re just too stupid.

The refrain that Capitalism is broke ignores the irritating reality that men are broke, and their brokenness is reflected in everything they do, including economics and politics. Socialism is broke. Communism is broke. It’s all broke. We could look at the corruption in our electorate, and conclude that Democracy is broke. Of course it is. Democrats have contaminated it. Does that mean we throw it away? Capitalism can be fixed. Democracy can be fixed. Socialism, Communism, all the parasitic garbage the left is pushing can’t be fixed.

There is no point in paying any attention to the babblings of entertainers. They (sometimes) have the talent and the skills to amuse us. They rarely have the intelligence or wisdom to understand anything else, let alone inform the rest of us.

I'll continue to enjoy Whedon's "Serenity", the best SF movie I've seen in years. His insights on capitalism are as of much interest to me as an organ grinder's monkey's views on particle physics.

Way too many Hollyweird commie ‘RAT libs suffer from wealth guilt. They just don’t want their money being thrown into the government sewer. They want other people’s (Republicans and conservatives) money being used for that. They’ll use their celebrity pulpit tell us about it as often as they can. It’s their way of “helping the poor”.

That is very disappointing, as well as mildly surprising.

I thought "Firefly" had a libertarian slant to it.

Guess I was wrong.

Another Hollywood millionaire who makes his money on name and face recognition pushing a system where we would all be poor faceless nobodies.

Well - since guys like this are running every level of our government, why not?

Now go pay your taxes - your government is broke. :)

He added that America is “turning into Tsarist Russia” and that “we’re creating a country of serfs.”

Yet another near perfect example of leftist projection.

He rants against capitalism, which as made him and many others millions. Capitalism has created in this republic the greatest economy the world has ever known.

He praises socialism (communism) as being the great savior of civilization.

Every example of socialist and communist government has ended with collapse and ruin. It is the very thing he praises that creates "serfs."

He can't or intentionally refuses to see that.



I have posted this a few times, this clown's spewing is a good example so here we go again.





They are beyond help, they do not have the capacity to be educated out of communism disguised as "liberalism and progressiveness." They can not or refuse to see the destructive nature of the communism disguised as "liberalism and progressiveness" they promote.

What the supporters of communist "liberalism and progressiveness" will destroy is the very nation that gave them their freedom. They will complain, demonize, belittle and protest when opposed but only preserving this Republic in it’s original context will continue to give them their freedom to complain and protest against it.

They will not stop destroying this nation of their own accord.

The only way to preserve freedom for American Citizens in this Republic is suppression of the communist supporters. "Taking the high road" is rapidly becoming something to be put on the shelf for a while. It is now time to step up, get in their face and refuse any other narrative other than they are worthless communist agenda bastards undeserving of a place in this Republic.





Worthless communist agenda bastards undeserving of a place in this Republic.






So, how?

One battle at a time and they will kick, scream, curse and fight the return of their freedom and sane behavior every inch of the way. If some semblance of our former Republic can be restored they will require constant observation. The communists will revert to demanding total control faster than can be understood by rational thought as rational thought is not understood by communists.

The supporters of communist "liberalism and progressiveness" will NEVER be normal freedom loving American Citizens. It is my understanding of history that not that long ago American Citizens put freedom before communism and put communist traitors in jail.

Worked once, ought to work again.

Well truth is it was not a rant. It was a brief answer to a question asked by a member of SDCC. But likewise this is what he believes. And we disagree.

AdamsBaldwin, who was also on the Firefly panel did tweet “
If America is turning into ‘Tsarist Russia’ under Obama, then the only viable alternative in November is @MittRomney. What’s Left to ponder?”

Would Whedon agree that copyright laws protecting intellectual “property” are a Bourgeois invention and all entertainment belongs to the collective?

Viva la Digital Revolution!

Sometimes I imagine these folks’ fantasies would come true and their socialist dreams would materialize, only so their own rewards as useless idiots would actually transpire.
