When will the whole Russell Brand crapola die out? When will people stop following celebrities and wake up to their own sovereignty?
Do you really need famous shills to tell you what to think?
Ironically, you just agreed with him 100%.
I don't think you've actually paid attention to his sentiments.
"Ironically" I don't think you listened either. Brand talks of socialism which is nothing like waking up to your own sovereignty, the exact opposite in fact. But by all means keep following your Brand new Jesus...
Speak up, I can't hear you when you're yelling all the way from the McCarthy era.
What he speaks of is not socialism, not even close. What you're confusing socialism with is "anything-not-compatible-to-your-standard-"perfect"-system". You act as if predatory capitalism is a functional system. Just because somebody suggests a new system (which, by the way, people have been echoing loooong before Russel Brand started speaking out), it doesn't mean it's "socialism".
Your reasons for not liking him are the same reasons he doesn't like the current system. It's also funny you mention "Jesus" as he follows his teachings far closer than any of the current Ayn Rand Satanism that plagues the current pro-capitalist politicians.
The man is not spreading new ideas so, if you want to blame somebody, blame the average critically-thinking person you see on the street because they have probably had at least half of these thoughts rolling around in their heads for years. He speaks the exact same words and concepts many of us have (even on ATS). The difference is that he's famous and extremely well-spoken. This gives him an accountability and he's utilizing it. The man has found god and is shouting it from the mountain tops... you'd think Christians of all people would understand his passion.

So in the Paxman interview when Brand talks of bringing in a socialist egalitarian system that's not socialism? You probably think the Zeitgeist movement makes sense too. Yeesh...
The system we have in place is failing us on many levels. I do not think socialism is the answer. But we do need something different...

Whatever you may think of him.....
He`s certainly awake.
The acceleration of his thoughts and speech are amazing.
The guy is a one-off.

If the information he is telling is not supposed to be told.... He'd be dead. Plain as that... That or, by now "they" don't care anymore if we're told the truth because either
1. Our short attention spand will forget about it tomorrow
2. It's neccasary for "us" to know such information to achieve their goal
3. They know most people won't believe the information or won't listen to others who relay the message
4. People won't even listen

Is he running for New Millennium Jesus?
www.bbc.co.uk...
Taoism's rich palette of liturgy and ritual makes the Tao more real to human beings and provides a way in which humanity can align itself more closely to the Tao to produce better lives for all.
