Why don't we try Peace? Ask those military complexes.

peace..... the west cannot imagine Peace... it's not in their blood

Wonderful speech Mr Wolf, much needed in our times.

"We say that if America has entered the war to make the world safe for democracy, she must first make democracy safe in America. How else is the world to take America seriously, when democracy at home is daily being outraged, free speech suppressed, peaceable assemblies broken up by overbearing and brutal gangsters in uniform; when free press is curtailed and every independent opinion gagged? Verily, poor as we are in democracy, how can we give of it to the world?" ~ Emma Goldman

Why don't we try peace, simple answer. There's no money in it, although most people of the world want peace. Wouldn't that be an amazing gift for humanity!!!

Violence begets violence, well said Prof Wolff

Excellent comments We need peace.

May I say again. You are Brilliant, You speak the truth, and most important show where peace can be achieved.

Thank you Prof. Wolff for fighting for peace! ☮☮☮

I wholeheartedly agree... Give peace a chance!

Thank you Dr. Wolff for your wise, efficient, and timely words.

Mr.Wolff, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter declared in 1968, that "the U.S. is the most warlike nation on earth. Out of its 245 years of existence, the U.S. had only 17 years of real peace." The U.S. has become so addicted to the use of force through wars that it cannot see any other way around it - not when its major war industries depend upon the constant oiling of the gears of its war machine to keep turning.

Those are cash cow to all these unscrupulous politicians. They know very well that they are not paying but the taxpayers.

Thank you Professor Wolf 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Professor Wolff is a true patriot and human being. Respect! 🎀

Thank you Professor Wolff! ❤ PEACE for the whole world! 🙏☮

Good narratives, Prof. Wolf. I've always enjoyed your podcast. Please keep going and inform the world at large about this troubled world. Give peace, harmony, and shared prosperity a chance.

Many wise words spoken from Richard Wolff

Thankyou Prof. Wolff.❤

WELL STATED!!

🇫🇮❤Wolff & all those with knowledge, wisdom & integrity speaking against corrupt & evil warmongers.

Who needs peace initiatives when one is both prosecutor and judge, and the Legislator!

Thank you for the impassioned call for peace. The US and its backers must come to peace with not being number one. There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility lies in being better than your former self.

Peace.

Always good to watch you ❤

Thé Professor..sensational as usual..a thorough understanding of what's truly happening around us on the global scene. A true Think Tank . Many thanks, Professor Richard, for your time and effort in educating the masses, giving them a perspective that adds up and makes perfect sense. 🎉🎉🎉

Excellent message.You are a conscience keeper of the world.

Thank you, Mr. Wolff, thank you.

Thank you Prof. Wolff!!! ❤❤

Thank you Richard!!!

Great sobering accurate speech

"White men speak with forked tongue".

Thanks!

Spot on prof Wolff👍

Thanks

Thank you 💞 your effort much appreciated 🙏

Thanks Richard, fully agree. I am Belgian, studied there, at age 21 left to go and work in South Africa in 1982. Married there with a beautiful Xhosa lady, then went back to Europe with her between 1997 to live and work, before retiring in 2019 and returning to sunny SA. I really see similarities between evil practises, then by the apartheid regime and now in the US and find with both nations that the real violent core are stupendeous, outrages RELIGION based believes. My last 11 years in Europe, I worked at UNODC in Vienna Austria, which was a great place as my colleagues were from the US, Russia, Ukraine, Palestine, Libanon, Iranian, Eastern Europe and many more. Just a simple bit of empathy and respect towards 'other' people would actually help tremendously. J'aime votre ton de voix. Sie sind einfach ein sehr kluger Mensch! Wish you well!

Great video professor, you are spot on

Why is common sense and advocacy for peace so difficult to find these days? What is wrong with these violent political policies? It’s truly alarming. The hate and wars in this world have made me in a state of shock. Thank you for being a voice of reason .

The obstacle is the ideological stubbornness of the American public, it is hard to reach an entrenched believer in whatever it is they think they trust.

wise man. no one will listen.

Mr. Wolf: You are not addressing the root cause of these wars which is the fact that the over-financialized, deindustrialized US economy is failing relative to those of China and other Asian countries. The US is no longer has the economic capacity to maintain hegemony over its global empire and so it is resorting to military means via proxies in order to retain its dominance. Once you understand that fact, everything else follows logically.

☮ peace and love, man! ☮

I hear that there is a resolution in Congress to take the words "cooperation" and "diplomacy" out of the dictionary due to lack of use.

Amen to peace

Well said

Thank you for your videos.

Many IFs, the biggest is politicians rediscover their conscience.

Sending hearts to you.

Well said sir. Isn't it all about money for the MIC and saving the dollar from extinction?

This guy knows what's up. REALLY think about why no politician or member of the media speaks with such unabashed truth.

One of the most insightful analysis of U.S. foreign policy since the Second World War is the 1984 book "Endless Enemies," written by Wall Street Journal reporter Jonathan Kwitny. There is an important lesson provided by the history of the British Empire, which is that empire's are very costly and the cost is invariably absorbed by that portion of a nation's population least able to shift the cost to others. Wars of territorial acquisition have always been fought to gain control of desired and needed natural resources as well as an enslaved or nearly-enslaved labor force.

Operative word, "negotiate." Does not appear in the U.S. diplomatic lexicon.

These violent delights will have violent ends, for us all.

LOVE WHAT YOU SHARED PROFF. TRUTHFULLY. EVERYTHING GOES UP, WILL FALL IN DOWN FINALLY. THE WORLD IS WATCHING IN REAL LIVE AND CLOSELY MAY CHINA AND RUSSIA CAN LEAD AND BRING STABILITY AND BALLANCE OF POWER OF THE WORLD TO STOP HYPOCRISY AND WARMONGERING MINDSET

Kudos for the topic, Professor. I imagine there is pressure to emphasize Gaza for purposes of attracting eyeballs and revenue. But the unfolding genocide in Gaza, tragic and heart-braking as it is, is on a scale of tens of thousands of people whereas the rapidly escalating crisis in Ukraine is on a realistic scale of nine billion dead and nuclear winter. So thank you for being an internationalist, a 21st century socialist and a compassionate human being for emphasizing this moral imperative. BTW, I caught you on the Zero Hour with a similar theme and it reminded me of an unrelated question regarding FDR's first term. I have heard you say more than once something to the effect that a small coterie of leftists (Communists, socialists & trade unionists) engaged with FDR early on and persuaded him that the best way to avoid revolution was to promulgate the New Deal. With cursory searches, I have failed to discover any pertinent documenattion. Could you kindly recommend sources or search terms to learn about this lobbying effort?

Isn't it ironic that one of the world's most gifted singer, music and song writer of the 1960s - 1980 who was dedicated to the spreading of peace in his songs, would die a violent death in New York City in the United States. John Lennon - RIP 8 December 1980.

What the US created another war in Taiwan and SCS within Philppines?

Those who wish for endless expansion cannot fathom the word "enough".

I finally totally agree with you on something. It’s a good day! 🎉

China is working on One Belt One Road , on Trades & Infrastructure projects . China is working very hard w/ Europe , Central Asia & South East Asia countries on Railway construction . The US is working on One Bomb One Road , on Heavy Dumb Bombs & Bad Mouthing China . The US Military Industrial Complex is working very hard to ship Weaponry to Israel & Ukraine .....

I love Professor Wolff, but I don’t think he answered the question to my satisfaction. He accurately summed up certain realities. But can we delve into how this relates to capitalism, and the abysmal need of the military industrial complex to perpetuate these conflicts to maximize profits? How executives from arms companies gain cabinet posts? We are headed into a dark era indeed.

There has to be agreement for peace. Wars affect people in US and the world with no winners.

the u,s amurica is holding back mankind from going forward, while China is trying push forward to the future.

Taiwan and Philippines, please look out.

aWARerica (MIC (Military Industrial Complex (CIA))) has owned America since their conception Bcame a reality in l8 40's. Imagine if America politicians served their voters &not the capital donators. Imagine if America spent their cash in on infrastructure, housing and medical. Imagine not having a stupid debt, inflation or abundant crime. Imagine all that money was self invested, instead of foreign wars. #ImagineThat The real Q is, how long will Americans allow their society2 suffer the lifestyle that aWARerica consistently serves them?

The answer to that can be found in an old Three Stooges short. “There's no money in peace.” Of course, that's not true, but interesting it was talked about over 80 years ago. Remember when Dennis Kucinich proposed a Department of Peace? The media had a field day with that.

Because there’s no money in peace

they are waiting for their pockets fill up first.

💙💙💙

Maybe we need some sort of international body dedicated to preserving peace; a united nations, but with enforcement power.

100 billion spread out to only the 50 states. Wow… with contingencies on the use… like infrastructure and health care.

It’s a shame people like yourself are not in politics in America because the world would be a better and safer place to live in 🇮🇪

What a dumb question. Peace is dependent on two sides being happy. Its not about weapins or outside countries but like a marriage, about the two individuals in it. It is disingenuous for Wolff to expect anything else. Hitler taught us that peace comes after war not appeasement. Appeasing your enemies is a sure route to slavery and not for Wolff or Biden or anybody else to expect a victim of aggression to accept.

👏👏👏

Thanks Richard, For more sensible advice. Nato has 1billion people inc the 7 richest countries. Russia 140 million people with a developing economy. Who should be worried.??

2 of 2: *This is how you always need to vote:* We must fully resist and _always vote_ against (& less authoritarian than) both the Democratic *and* Republican Parties- including Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, Rand Paul (He’s _no_ Ron Paul), Warren Davidson, Ron Johnson, and all other Republicans. For _all_ public positions. And this same strategy applies against the same one or more party-monopolies in _all_ countries worldwide. Real libertarians will never be Republicans or Republican loyalists. Never vote for _any_ Democratic member or loyalist either. You can always _write-in_ an anti-authoritarian person if no candidates for a position fit that bill. This will continuously reduce the power of _all_ authoritarian parties in the party monopolies. Until our task is complete. Repeat strategy for all new authoritarian parties that emerge.

Professor Wolff, I hope you can look into the auto generated captions issue and fix it. Like most other channels when we click the setting button it shows Auto Generated. Then we click that it shows a list of languages including Chinese Traditional. We click that and nothing comes out because it doesn’t work. On Google people call it a bug. However recently many travelers vloggers in China have auto generated Chinese subtitles that actually work. Sample vloggers include Sun Kissed Bucket List, Ken Abroad, Two Mad Explorers. I’m sure millions of Chinese students and scholars alike wish to watch and understand your lectures. The subtitles will make a huge difference, probably help to solving global warming.

Why? Because weapons are about the only thing being manufactured in our country anymore.

Peace is not lucrative for the USA.Trillions of dollars-10 to 12 Trillion from Ukraine.Around 3 Trillion a year from the Middle East.Much more than 100 Billion expense.

Freedom should be the right to choose your form of government. Yet when colonized, oppressed people choose communist military aid to free them from the shackles of western colonialism, this doesn't sit well with the U.S. who labels them an enemy. Modern day U.S. colonialism still exists in the form of indebteding 3rd world countries then making demands on those countries for repayment in U.S. dollars. It's not surprising that those countries have turn to Communist China ifor financial relief via the ongoing movement for BRICS membership.

Hate is not propogated in Buddhism practice...

*Making money is an action. Keeping money is a behavior, but "Growing money is wisdom" I just saw this quote🔥*

Garland Nixon discussed the Rand corporation report on Russia years ago iwhich laid out plan to make it a focus of interest and create the situation we are in now Would be a good item to discuss how corporations influence on policies for resources like blackrock and the economic forum

But how would the big weapons corps. survive without these wars? Follow the money.

Private school thinking 🤔 lol 😂

i dunno, maybe Russia could just withdraw their troops from Ukrainian territory

We pray peace of the world we live...aaamin

TULSI GABALD IN HER SHOW REFERRED THOSE POLITICIANS AND OFFICIALS AS 'ELITE CABALS OF FEAR MONGERING, WAR MONGERING."

Theres no profit in peace for arms producer's

Please give an update on the US housing market. Is there a 2007/2008 collapse in the immediate future? Thank you.

Prof, can I ask a question ? Why US want to spend money on wars that don't benefit the US ?

Vote green, Vote Peace. then PSL is who I plan to support once we have Ranked choice voting from the green party. or they gain more momentum.

Peace doesn't generate money for the neocons and weapon industrial complexes. complexes.

1 of 2: *This is how you always need to vote:* We must fully resist and _always vote_ against (& less authoritarian than) both the Republican *and* Democratic Parties- including all of the squad, Bernie Sanders, Edward Markey, the justice democrats, & all other democrats. For _all_ public positions. And this same strategy applies against the same one or more party-monopolies in _all_ countries worldwide. Real progressives will never be Democratic Members or Democratic loyalists. Never vote for _any_ Republican member or loyalist either.

Peace doesn't make the system money like war does. Right?

✌🏻

Thank you Prof. Wolff. However, still many ignorant people out there believe.

One would think that a nation that professes to be the champion of democracy would want peace, but the United States (US), by its own actions, does not. The fact of the matter is that the world considers the US as the biggest threat to peace. Major General Smedley Butler’s book WAR IS A RACKET, and President Eisenhower’s final speech tried to warn the American people about that. The US’ proxy war in Ukraine, and the US’ unconditional support of the artificial colonial settler state of Israel’s genocide against the indigenous people of Palestine have proven their warnings to be true many times over! The US does nothing that would benefit 100% of US citizens. That is why 38 million Americans live today in poverty, while 9 of the 10 richest men in the world are US citizens. That is why the US has refused to comply with 42 United Nations’ (UN) resolutions demanding that it immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. The UN will hold its annual Puerto Rico decolonization hearing on Thursday, June 20, 2024, but the US’ “free press” won’t tell you that. The US does not want you to know that it has been committing a crime against humanity in Puerto Rico for the past 126 years. The UN will again issue another resolution saying exactly the same thing as all the others. The US will surely ignore that one too, because it is really an oligarchy. Oligarchies never want peace!

No profit in peace.
