Jim Carrey Is A Capitalist Pretending To Be A Socialist [VIDEO]

Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?

Celebrities for socialism… it’s plausible deniability for the filthy rich.

Sure, Jim Carrey earned his fortune by entertaining hundreds of millions of people for decades. But when you live in a mansion like this…

… and you have a net worth like this…

… it can be easy, in modern American CULTure, to start feeling a little… guilty about all that sprawling wealth.

Besides, how bad can “socialism” be---it’s got the word “social” in it---it’s about “SOCIETY” right?

Carrey’s recent appearance on Bill Maher’s show, where he declared, “We have to say ‘Yes!’ to socialism… we have to stop apologizing,” has generated some buzz, and so I decided to see what the hype was all about.

To my displeasure, I was exposed to the most sanctimonious, misinformed, statist apologetics I’ve heard in awhile.

Jim---who portrays himself these days as a loving hippie just “following his artistic muse bro”---in fact has to START APOLOGIZING for socialism now!

These political and economic ideas have real-world consequences.

I’ve been to Venezuela, it’s an imploding socialist dystopia. How about Cuba? Or the Soviet Union? Or Mao’s China? Yet trendy "dumb and dumber" celebs keep advocating for the same destructive policies.

Frankly, these days the USSA is incredibly socialist (mixed with a massive dollop of fascism)… and for this reason it is close to the edge of collapse, while “balance the budget Trump” oversees record deficits and debt increases.

You Can Watch My Full Reaction To Carrey’s Delusion Here:

In truth, the mega-rich liar liars won’t be able to fool the masses for much longer. Cryptocurrency is on the rise, the internet is liberating humans one mind at a time, and people everywhere are waking up.

It’s the same reason thousands of freedom-lovers from all over the world will be attending Anarchapulco 2019---The World’s Premier Liberty Event.

This year, we’ve even booked the entire Princess Mundo Imperial to ourselves!

Some amazing guest speakers have already confirmed, including Ron Paul, Andrew Napolitano, David Icke, Cynthia McKinney, Doug Casey, and many more.

We’ll have a few great comedians too, to be announced soon!

Anarchapulco is where freethinkers and world-changers unite. Tickets are flying so be sure to BOOK NOW before it’s sold out.

Frankly speaking, neither Jim Carrey nor you, my dear @dollarvigilante, know what socialism is:

But at least, you are practicing socialism while calling it wrongly “Anarcho-capitalism” :)

Hush ;). Jeff is a good guy who simply suffers from having grown up as an american during the "red-scare". So for him and many others the word socialism or communism has replaced the words "authoritarianism", "bad", or "horrible".

To be fair, a lot of us who consider ourselves socialists use the word "capitalism" in the same way.
Just the way we were indoctrinated I guess. Team-sport mentality; Left hates right and right hates left, but left and right sees the same sins to hate in its opposite, all the while the elite laughs all the way to the bank (they own).

Frankly speaking, Jeff does not care what "ism" you prefer. As long as it is voluntary, and anyone can opt out, he is probably okay with it. Socialist democracy never works because it always requires the use of violence to enforce it's ideologies. Because everything must be shared, there is no incentive to produce more than someone else.
Don't waste time watching the video from Dick Wolff (fake historian), the term socialism is defined already: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism

Socialist democracy never works because it always requires the use of violence to enforce it's ideologies.

No, it doesn’t. Even by your preffered source of definition, @zubasky.

If you want to talk about something, first you have to know what it is. The worst kind of arrogance is the arrogance of ignorance.

What world are you from? Do you know the history of socialism on earth? It always fails. It might work on your planet but not on earth were humans have sacrificed their lives for centuries/millenniums to have freedom and less control over their lives.

That is why you should first know what socialism is. You think you know history of socialism, and you aren’t even aware that there were no socialism on Earth so far. You would know it if you would just watch the explanation of professor Wolff in a posted link. Is that so hard for you?

You know “socialism” from the capitalist propaganda which is aimed at killing any humane idea. You also can read full book “The Last Revolution” by the PhD Ljubodrag Simonovic here:

In short: If something is called “socialism” does not mean it is socialism. You can take your cabinet, write on it “the Piano”, but it will still be a cabinet only.

Semantics, if you want to redefine the term socialism then you have a long road ahead. You should go debate Crowder and determine the definition before you declare your position:


In short: Because everyone has called it a piano for thousands of years, and you say it is a cabinet and there never has been a "real" piano, creates a real dilemma. (There are several different types of pianos, fyi) I suggest you hone your definition of which type of socialism you are advocating, as there are several sects/varieties of "socialism."

It is already defined. You just don’t want to know and refuse to learn.

Definition of Socialism
1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property
b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
-Merriam-Webster
So your definition is wrong, just like your wrong in thinking it can work and thinking it has never been tried, and how you think it doesn't always fail.

Any philosophy that takes a 2h video to explain is suspect. Voluntaryism on the other hand is pretty much self-evident: Don't attack other people or steal their stuff.

If you take your philosophy only as self-evident, you’ll never learn anything, @phamnuwen.
