I don't really know who Russell Brand is but I got sucked into the story over the weekend and one of my favorite podcasts posted this video commentary.

Here is the original clip of the  interview I saw over the weekend:

saw that nutcase on TV once....he was supposed to be funny....he wasn't. Maybe if he had discussed politics that one time I saw him on TV, I would have thought he was funny.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

What it comes down to is both the BBC guy and Russell Brand are arguing for government. The whole thing is contrived. It's an updated version of the PC vs Mac guy commercials.  Which ever on you choose you're still getting a computer.

If you're young and hip you love egalitarian socialism, if you are older and established you appreciate the more refined form of government control.

Either way they are soliciting for agreements that are better not agreed to.
