John Cusack Rails Against 'Predatory Capitalism'
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
We know this form of capitalism takes and takes.
It takes whatever, whenever, however it wants.
It'll take our lives.
It'll take our labor, our spirit, our air and water, even our earth.
And Bernie respects us enough to tell the truth, the hard truth.
We have a 10 to 12 year window to radically transform our energy systems or climate change, predatory capitalism and the endless war economies will rob us of the right to any future at all.
And as we can see literally every day, the house is on fire.
But as Bernie tells us, this is no time for despair.
It's no time for anything but action.
Because if we stand together with him, the future is still indeed unwritten.
And there is nothing more powerful than a movement whose time has come.
We have never had a movement candidate this close to power with a revolutionary movement.
He's led and built.
Ready to go all the way to change the country and help heal the world.
When people of every race, creed, gender, everybody stands together in solidarity.
When all of us whose labor powers this economy stop the profiteering and tell the billionaires and the corporate tyrannies that it's time to start treating all human beings with respect and dignity.
I have no idea what he's talking about.
Nor does he.
By the way, I'm not being cute.
You do not have to be a fool to be in Hollywood.
There are non-fools in Hollywood.
However, they're quiet.
So that's the issue.
The ones who speak out are fools.
Cusack is an idiot.
He's a revolutionary communist idiot.
That's what he is.
Overthrowing the kindest system ever created, the American system.
That's why people ache to get to this country.
He is, the worst thing I could call him is what every single leftist in America is.
He's an ingrate.
The system robs people's lives.
The system, the system, it's all communist agitprop.
But anyway, he's going to save the world.
He's a soulless guy.
There's an emptiness in his soul.
It's filled by leftist rhetoric.
That's why people became communists.
Religious Christians and religious Jews didn't become communists.
Generally, atheists, secular people, certainly, they became communists.
They spied for the Soviet Union.
The enduring theme of my life, the consequences of secularism.
