Marianne Williamson - On Socialism and Capitalism

Marianne Williamson speaking about socialism and capitalism on March 9, 2020.

After her gross mistreatment and marginalisation during the campaign cycle, it is wonderful to see her continue her work with renewed grace and conviction. Marianne Williamson cannot, and will not, be stopped.

Marianne Williamson is an unstoppable force for good and I’m here for it

[luvfly]

I'm a 73 year old disabled combat veteran.I've always supported your efforts and will continue to do so.I attended one of your lectures in NYC back in the late 80's or early 90's, as well as Wayne Dyer's, and God willing, perhaps I'll get to see you and hear you again in person.God bless!

[miloplass]

Marianne you're AWESOME!! 😄 I studied Sociology and from my point of view you're most in tune with where I want this country to go and with what will benefit the majority of people in this country 😁👍

I'm Brazilian and I found her speech really impressive. She's very smart.

Marianne Williamson is a genius - I'm sure she would hate me saying that. She's a real life angel too - I don't know if she'd hate me saying that. Truly, a herald of God. This is a fantastic lecture. We are so lucky to have her in our lifetimes.

[Toidentity]

Still the only person I would have voted to be president 🤷🏾‍♂️

I enjoyed listening to Marianne’s talk on the lack of humanity in politics. Very inspiring. It reminds me that rivalry between capitalism and socialism makes a country at war with itself politically. It’s such a waste of energy, rather than working together for the common good of the people they served. We need more wise people like Marianne.

[karenkasteler]

BRILLIANT....and such a practical explanation....Thanks Marianne.

[theuberman]

I didn't vote for Marianne but i'm glad I found her in this election cycle, I really like they way she thinks.

[poetansperry]

This woman is presidential material Smart. Compassionate. Visionary. I have grown in following her campaign and reading her books. Praying she lands in the White House via a cabinet position!!!

[cirella]

She is the type of candidate this country needs. I’m praying for her and for people of this country to open their eyes and ears and to grant her the respect of their attention. What she is saying is not without life experience and much research by her own volition. She has analyzed the state of today from a very human point of view. Not from a corporate point of view. She is the only candidate who doesn’t give a crumb to the people to be satisfied with she is showing us we deserve more because we are the ones paying the salaries and lifestyles for everyone in government. We are the ones with the power. I so badly want to change how the primaries are run. Last time she was pushed aside and mocked because she’s the only one aside from Bernie that clearly understands their is a club on the democratic side and the Republican side that chooses who gets in to said club. And you either better learn to play ball and keep perpetuating a system of corporate bribery or get out you can’t sit with us. We need to really bring attention to this until it’s drilled into every Americans head that they don’t want us to have a candidate for the people because then they don’t keep getting paid by corporations to make them happy and fix laws to make them richer.

[SwordOfTheRaven]

Bernie should pick her as vp if he was smart

[leviwattsmusic]

I’ll vote for Marianne if she ends the embargo on Cuba and sanctions on Venezuela. Socialist countries do not need to be infringed upon by global capitalism.

[Simouno]

You are wonderful Marianne, i'm so glad to have supported you and Bernie from day 1 because i think you proved to be the only 2 authentic people that were in race. I hope you will continue to bless us with your presence because your message of kindness and empathy is something our society really needs today more than ever

[lorrainecarpinelli]

What I especially love about this is how it, for me, makes completely bogus this "us against them" thing that really is made up. Apologizing for my lack of articulating, but she just put all this into a broader, deeper context, and I thank you, Marianne Williamson! She has shown the spiritual and the practical, also, the human and the economic/public policy, are not mutually exclusive.

[RiverstaffMedia]

Marianne williamson is such an exciting candidate for president!

[kcaviatrix]

I was highly motivated by her speech about the evils of the abuse of Capitalism by Lobbyist politics. I desperately search for common sense based, middle of the road candidates. Considering the majority of 30+ voters make intelligence-based decisions, it is shocking that no middle road candidates survive, and I thought one finally exists.
Listening to one speech, Marianne Williamson initially appeared to me to be a middle road candidate, with common sense. I was ready to back this candidate. The second I saw that she endorsed Socialists and Progressive Democrats, my enthusiasm deflated. You cannot endorse either party and work with common sense politics, especially Progressive Democrats, and be against Lobbyist corruption.
Why do extremist political beliefs still dominate? Why do we still have to rely on extremist biased "news sources" like CBS, CNN, ABC (extreme liberal biased sources) or FOX News (extreme Conservative biased sources)? Why do people continue to defend the known practice of cherry picking, skewing or falsifying information you rely on to make your decisions?
This candidate's speeches are no different than the propaganda of other Democrats whose platform is to tell 20 somethings what they want to hear, with little care for economic rationale.
There must be a potential candidate who realizes Lobbying is evil, and actually measures proposals of healthcare change, with enough common sense to see that Socialist healthcare failed. Considering Socialist healthcare in Canada failed so miserably, the solution is to encourage those with health issues to commit suicide, due to high cost, it is not working.
Socialism is Communism Light. They are not two separate things, only degrees of extremism.
Here is argument #1 for the person screaming "idiot:" What did the USSR stand for? Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republic. Look at old videos of evil Communists: Stalin, Lenin, Che and Castro. They refer to themselves as Liberals and Socialists (not democrats, like the ignorant Facebook meme stated). They made the same promises to the people you make today. Castro used anti-racism propaganda and proselytized the evils of Capitalists. They were all greedy humans who took advantage of the power the unsuspecting public gifted them.

You cannot pull blood from a turnip. If you destroy the reasons for drive, you destroy drive. Humans do not thrive without motivation, and these programs eradicate motivations.
I will support you 100% in making Lobbying illegal. However, I will never support you as long as you push these Socialist programs! They are not sustainable and not feasible.

[gyunge]

It should be but the world is not ready yet. But one day it will be. The humanity has to be awakened and evolved.
