THE CORPORATION [8/23] Mindset Video
8. The profit motive drives the actions of the corporation and creates a mindset of competition and anything goes. Meet corporate spy and self-described predator Marc Barry as he describes his tactics for gathering intelligence from competing corporations.
Juxtapose his attitude with Ray Anderson, President of Interface, who, in an epiphanic
moment, realized he was a plunderer and it was only a matter of time before the law
figures it out.

I was waiting for ...
I was waiting for the point when the movie would first suggest government intervention. What happens when you make polluting illegal? It doesn't stop it. It simply creates someone to bribe. It socializes, just for that industry, the expense of? compensating everyone effected. Government cures are often -more- poisonous.

Capitalism fosters ...
Capitalism fosters and promotes a ruthless mentality of exploiting anything and everything for profit and everything is a product, be it humans,? animals or eco system.

Capitalist have proven to be unfit to manage resources, hence the State should take over all operations and the rich can help mankind do the heavy lifting and work along side all of? us for the betterment of the state.

absolutly nothing? to contribute ot back ,all they do is take and they have co opted the media and the government to do their bidding , or stolen away from the people rather, thats what fascisim is ,a corporate government ,which is what we now have and it is only getting worse
it sounds as if ...
it sounds as if telemetry is confused this film is not anti capitalisim or against the monetary system it not some utopian propaganda like zeitgeist, whixh does a fantastic job of summing up a big portion of the problems in a short time, but then turns to crazy utopian propaganda as the solution propaganda that resembles huxleys vision in brave new world, the problem is that corporation have all? the rights of a person and non of the accountability or responsibility ,and dont pay any taxes and do
able to fix it, ...
able to fix it, nothing could, but it is a huge lie , look up maurice strong, and who he really is, this whole global warming and green enviornmental is just another fraud to get you to give up your wealth and rights,its totaly crap, the climate is a chaotic system and could never be hoped to be understood ,they even? call cap and trade a "scheme" in their own documents cause that is exactly what it is a scheme to steal the little remaining wealth from the middle class &hand it over to the elites
before it is really ...
before it is really too late, they are also the same people trying to push his idea of a carbon credit or cap and trade system on us ,it would be the biggest tax on humanity in history ,it is a death sentence for the 3rd world and it means enslavement for the middle class and poor for the rest of the world ,yes the eath is getting warmer but it is not proven to be caused my man, the climate is cyclical and has been for millions of years,and even if it? was caused by man cap & trade would not be
the U.S. has become ...
the U.S. has become a corporate fascist dictatorship ,consumption is not the problem, dont? buy into this sustainability movement,it just more propaganda from the same people who sold the sheeple on these trade agreements like NAFTA and CAFTA and the idea of a "service based economy" over a resource based economy which is why we are in total economic colapse right now, its why there is over 20% unemployment, that and letting china into the WTO and the removal of glass segal WAKE UP PEOPLE
its not capitalisim ...
its not capitalisim that is total horse s**t it is this form of it that is, this sort of cronie capitalisim , this is not really capitalisim ,its collectivisim
these corporations have been allowed to become even bigger than monopolies they are not monopolies cause a monopoly just monopolizes the industry in one particular field they are involved in these basterds have their greedy likke mits in everything they own the media ,the government ? and several different industries globally
"We're? predators." ...
"We're? predators." No s**t, Sherlock.
Maybe your right ...
Maybe your right that they should donate part of the profits to supporting fair trade, but there is little difference between taking the dollar for further research and paying themselves salaries out of that, (which many non-profit? organisations do) and taking it as they are. it would be interesting to know if this film actually profited, they could have done a sort of anti-advertising deal with a few of the corporations "pay us and we wont mention you" probably would have worked better too.
i still disagree ...
i still disagree with the premise that requiring money undermines this film, they have to eat, and do all those other things that cost money. If it had been a film attacking consumption, i'd agree, however it? isnt. and i agree with you on that point, voluntary work is not only doing something positive, it feels far more liberating than paid work. Money is a burden, however the need for it/ what it brings doesn't invalidate a point.
you're ok - I don't ...
you're ok - I don't mind.
The plea for cash shows just how miserably entangled we all are into consumption at the expense of everything else. Including our credibility. I'm guilty of that by the way so I'm very much part of the problem too.
with voluntary work i was balanced because I could focus on the tasks and forget about how much or how little I was earning. I was? also helping the environment with the work I was doing. liberating. Money is a burden on all of us. Even ifyouhaveit.
Yep. It still ...
Yep. It still sounds ridiculous to me. There are more imaginative ways to generate revenue if that was part of their intention when making the film. ie. "the film makers ask everyone to donate $2. We are a non profit organization and $1 will go to helping small and sustainable fair trade around the world. The other dollar will go to further research and costs towards film making into this subject" ? "this way we don't undermine our credibility in this subject and promote positive change"
i apologize? for ...
i apologize? for launching into a youtube argument, i hate doing this but your statement offends me.
i hope your joking ...
i hope your joking or something? this isnt an assault on capitalism its an attack on corporations which are a particularly horrible entity within that whole sphere, you can still believe in making money and essentially capitalist ideas without s**tting all over the planet and crushing people under your business, in fact from what i gather thats what? the filmmaker is aiming towards. And it may want money but that is not its primary goal, otherwise it would not have been out for free.
Damn right weird ...
Damn right weird for the film maker to appeal for money when the entire film is a testament to what happens when people make money.
Anyone else find this hypocritical?
It actually destroys any credibility the film has in my mind. A serious dysfunction in the construct of this film is that it wants money. ?
