Thank you! When Chaplin and his family traveled to London for the premier of Limelight (1952), he was denied re-entry to the United States. He and his wife decided to settle in Switzerland. Chaplin was a free thinker open to the possibility of other forms of government. This was a direct challenge to Hoover's FBI and he was labled a communist without any due process.

The biggest threat to this Monopoly Crony Capitalist system we live in today are free thinkers. People who dare even consider there could be a better way. During Chaplin's time Marxism was the only alternative that had a program that could directly challenge the worlds power structure.
Today we have other alternatives.

My family had been loyal democrats for 3 generations. After my time in the US Navy working in Electronic intelligence I got to peek behind the curtain and was sadly disheartened. After the Navy I started to explore other forms of government. I became a member of the communist party and a staunch Stalinist, but after years of study, organizing and gaining access to the inner workings I again started to lose faith in this alternative. The goal was still the same, building a centralized hub, ( the party) from which all direction came from. It was like rearraning the deck chairs on the titanic.

I want to make this point because I see alot of frustrated naive individuals gravitating toward a Marxist philosophy with very little understanding of the nuances.

Today I'm still searching. I like some of the things I hear from Anarcho-capitalist. Up until recently they did not have a program or the tools that could compete with Communisim or Monoploy Capitalism. Cryptocurrency has changed all of that and now they do have an incredibly powerful tool.
