He is an astonishing speaker! And a radical truth teller!

His unimpeachable credibility comes from an undeniable core of love for humanity.

I can't believe only thirty three thousand people have seen this in over a year.

Whenever Dr West speaks I feel like I’m in a Black Congregation. I just wanna yell “Amen Brotha West!!” After every single sentence 😂

Best line... 7:07 A war criminal with a Nobel peace prize. The elites in the audience hated that truth...

This guy is awesome

This is why Dr. Cornel West is the greatest intellectual in the world today without question. Excellent speech and indictment of the plutocratic governments of the UK and the U.S.

Seeing the young people clapping with such enthusiasm tells me there's still hope in the future. They will one day pick up the mantle and help create a more just society. Awesome speech, I must have listened to it over 10 times.

i love what he says, and I love how he says it. I could listen to this man talk all day long!

It's amazing how everything Mr. West talks about is clear as crystal. His words make sense in today's world, amazing what a pandemic crisis can do to a simpleton like myself. Thnk Cornel West for speaking truth to power

Cornell West is brilliant and speaks the truth! He is most inspiring speaker I have ever heard, on a par with Dr. King - his voice goes right through you!

Exactly, the solution is a deep cleansing of the corruption, greed and excess that has caused the current situation. Holding the perpetrators truly accountable is essential. The establishment has too much to lose by letting this happen, but we have nothing to lose by losing the established establishment.

Agree with him or not you have to admire his speaking style.

cornel west ! the best I have ever heard :) today on words u r my mst favt.

Cornel West is the best public speaker I know! Amazing Performance!

Vote for this man! Put a good man on the throne FOR ONCE!

I don't agree with him on everything but he is absolutely brilliant, and it is refreshing to hear him speak.

Look at the change in audience's body posture between the beginning and 7 minutes in. People leaning, craning forward, to absorb as much as possible, the man to his right leaning back to take it all in, like he's at an Al Green show. This man is in the real-life Justice league, along with Hitchens .

A beautiful man. A privilege to witness his testament of our times 🙏

So powerful, I fuckin love this man.

Incredible speaker. The truth will set you free!

He is vivacious and integral for the young people. He is not dangerous but,mendacious for oligarchs. Simply because he tells the intellect truth about their shenanigans amid the human species. I Love Cornel. He does it with love. Perfect for our time.

The standing ovation says it all. We need to move away for a society in which wealth is the sole motivation for achievement and the sole criteria in determining human value.

Who, what spirit, contagious and inspiring!

A Gem 💎 I just discovered

I love this man. All the way from South Africa. I had hope that one day I'd be in his class or lecture but with Coronavirus that's never going to happen.

A now prophetic,prolific voice well required at this very moment in time and space.......in the world!!

Amen! Wow! Well said! Thank you

LOVE THIS LEARNING

Completely agree. Dr. West is an expert at discussing problematic issues but completely lost when it comes to speaking on realistic solutions. He has a way of being extremely entertaining and sounding like the most intelligent man in the room without ever really saying anything of substance. It's old school pimp talk with an academic twist.

So true, we as a people are still just trying to get our instruments together. But damnit hurry up.

I love the way this man speaks.

My tought exactly, Brother West

Dr. Cornel West, the GALAXY's AMBASSADOR -CHANNELING THE ANGELS' VOICES in English, but torpedos all hearts with his heaven sent love and truth, the people's prophet, indeed!

No one should be suffering

he's such a great speaker

What a fantastic orator!

Not once did he offer a solution, a good history lesson and name dropping. I am in agreement with you.

What a great speech 🎤

Truly, truly great.

Curious to know what the outcome of the debate was?

YES man!

what an inspiration for everyone...

Such a cool sounding amd looking intellectual and speaker

There is such a thing as a propositional statement. I studied propositional logic as part of my Computer Science degree. It was not an academic debate on the subtlety of what certain concepts mean. For this debate the 'layman's' definition sufficed.

He's an EXCELLENT speaker and everything he said was the truth, so I'm curious to know what it is that you don't agree with.

Don't concentrate on the style that he delivers his message but what the message is what he is saying is more important then just a performance.

HA! I love this! Dr. Cornel West @ his best again! "All Hail Cornel West!"

Where is his speech like that in america to americans but still such great ability to say exactly what he means to say. Teaching.Reality.Under.The.Heavens.TRUTH

A war criminal with a Nobel Peace Prize. That's powerful stuff. We Americans need to hear it lots more often.

i love listening to cornel west because he gives to you straight.. dont miss the message by being pre occupied with the messenger

You are absolutely right. Just look at some of them in the video, especially the ones behind West. They couldn't digest his food completely.

Mass production was developed in the Springfield and Harper Ferry armories. Containerization was developed by the Navy and remained subsidized by defense spending long into its commercialization. Automation and Machine tools were developed by military engineers. N/C developed with public financing at MIT and air force labs. And the history of the 1st world is the history of protectionism and socialism: from the American system to Bismarck, from MITI to General Park. There's some facts for ya.

I like how you do such a large amount of research on the underlying reasons behind these regular crashes in the economy, and how you present this research in a logical argument.

Well said, Dr West, a brilliant speech!

Cornel West is a real American progressive. A true hero.

He is so awesome the Camera raised its hand haha

I agree. Wholeheartedly

Real speaker make me want to write positive music

Beautiful. Just fucking beautiful. WE ARE THE 99 PERCENT!

He is a renowned debater; he clearly explained the purpose of the movement so I don't get your point. At least, he's not reading from a script like some people. He's certainly not a disgrace.

These beautiful Brits struggling so hard to allow the joy and exuberance of resistance to flow through them without repression- the young people are alright.

A propositional statement is one of: A simple proposition denoted by a capital letter, e.g. ‘A’. A negation of a propositional statement e.g. A : “not A” (You can google it) An academic definition is one used by experts that understand the broader literature and the complexity of a term in his field of study. Terms used by the man in the street are obviously different. However, social justice implies a fairer society to most people so it did not need to be defined for this type of debate.

Thanks for this; I've wondered if Dr West had appeared in the debate chamber with the topic of OWS--well, look at what we've got here.

head thrilling,heart soaring.

This Men is telling us to put emotions into our Lifes. Express what is Inside. There is a Vulcano in Each of Us

Telling the Truth in front of the British Upper Class

God bless you Cornel. Love you.

Cornel West is just brilliant!

Cornell West is brilliant!

Sorry for spamming posts, but it's awesome that he got a standing ovation. Say what you want about Cornel West, he certainly can enrapture a room full of people.

By the 50s West Germany had surrounded itself with protective tariffs, created an all-around social insurance system, and established a government cartel for coal and steel. The corn bill was in 1844- 150 years after constant protectionism made England the only industrial state. Japan's economy was government planned up until the 1980s by the MITI. And the welfare state began in the 19th early 20th centuries by Bismarck in Germany and Lloyd George etc. and now everyone lives longer and happier.

Okay, you get up there, take his place, and enlighten us all... Please

The people who bought them, the houseowners, the real estate agents, the regulators, the government, the depositors, economists the list goes on. And it was retail banks who made the dodgy loans, not the investment banks. If you are going to blame investment banks, retail banks are no less a culprit.

Thanks

I agree.

Uh... Thank you, I thought no one would ever reply. I didn't mean the airports themselves, I was talking about the manufacturers- Boeing and Airbus- and how fully state-subsidized they are and have been from the beginning.

I AM a Revolutionary!!!!!! Power To All the People!!!!

Hannan 3:13 is thinking three words. "What." and "The." are the first two.

Malcolm X once spoke at the Oxford Union. The Avello Publishing Journal Editorial Ambassador is Dennis Howard Marks (Balliol College, University of Oxford.

actually no, calling someone 'simple-minded' isn't an ad hominem attack, unless the person hurling the insult is explicitly stating or implicitly suggesting that this is the reason your statement, argument, conclusion, etc. is false or invalid.

No the hedge funds and investment banks who invented the products are to blame.

brilliant

He just cant drop the preacher in him

elaborate

great fair man tells it like it is,

William Morris!!! Well done Dr. West! Apart from JRR Tolkien- who drew his inspiration of fantasy fiction from Morris's work- I've never heard that underrated man referred to as "a hero", which he most certainly was.

I love this man 😁👏

The Occupy movement should focus on demanding an Unconditional Basic Income funded by a Financial Transaction Tax (a tiny percentage taken off every stock market transaction). A UBI is much simpler and more efficient than manipulating banks and corporations to try to create jobs (an economic ideology that has proven itself futile) An Unconditional Basic Income is an adequate amount of basic income that gets automatically deposited into everyone's bank account every month (roughly the equivalent of a US $10 per hour job). The same amount to everyone, rich or poor, working or not. And with NO MEANS TESTING, so NO new government bureaucracies. The simplicity of the idea is it's beauty. It's an idea that has been supported by both left and right leaning politicians as a way to eliminate poverty and avert violent revolution. Switzerland is holding a referendum on this. If it passes, every Swiss citizen will receive an Unconditional Basic Income, rich or poor, working or not. Wherever a UBI has been tried, people worked more, not less, and started small businesses. That's because the money was adequate enough that they didn't need to go into debt to the banks to ask for a startup loan. Wherever an ADEQUATE UBI was tried, crime decreased and health care costs went down and the overall economy improved. The reason an Unconditional Basic Income is different than a minimum wage is because employers do not pay for a UBI. It would be funded by a Financial Transaction Tax which is a tiny percentage taken off every stock market transaction. That way employers won't raise prices and decrease jobs. In fact, a UBI would create MORE jobs because there would be more people buying products. Business would increase! Instant stimulation WITHOUT government intervention! Because there is NO MEANS TESTING, no extra bureaucracy would be needed. It could be run by one computer that deposits money into EVERYONE'S bank account automatically. We have many unpaid workers in our society. Volunteers, artists, musicians, homemakers, grandmothers, etc. It's now time that they were valued monetarily by society. It's time for REAL change - an Unconditional Basic Income! But politicians won't do anything this radically positive without a grassroots uprising from the people DEMANDING a UBI. So tell your friends and help make the UBI go viral!

Salvation through loving one another is available to all. I read Galatians 2:11-21 (not only 16) which reinforces that Christians should not avoid wrongdoers or fail to love them. Then I read Ephesians 2:1-10 (not only 8-9) which again reiterates this point. Philippians 3:1-14 (9 isn't even a complete sentence), Paul encourages us to continue to strive for grace You've set a load of questions I've already answered with Matthew 25:31-46. You seem to be obfuscating, but I will answer again.

5:28 He's doing it again.

I was born at night but last night! That's the sh-- C.W.

Awesome!

merci a lot

Yeah, and after he was done with Chile it had the most consistently growing economy in all of South America, and he eventually handed the government over to democracy. 100 million died in India under a centralized government that subsidized inefficient methods of labor, taxing the economy heavily and preventing more efficient methods from developing (e.g their textile industry). Compared to Hong Kong for example, which developed far more radically during that time period with 0 subsidization.

this type of charismatic speaker is something you will never hear in britain. Britsh people are too stuck up when they speak. it doesnt sound real at all. here we have absolute heart and fire

Dr. West is more effective sitting down.

That girl sitting behind Hannan is gorgeus

I think it's time you re-read "1957 Ludwig Erhard's Annus Terribilis"

The people in the chamber will probably never act upon what Cornel West is implicating because they are the very people he is criticizing or in some way related to them.
