Russell Brand looks to start a revolution

I honestly was impressed by his ability to defend his ideas. I'd love to hear from the Manosphere think tank on his interview. He seems to be challenging the currently political system. The scary thing is this went Viral. To me..he sounds a bit socialist but I haven't read his recent writing/editing on politics. But this interview went viral...very viral.
"All My Bitches love me....I love all my bitches,
but its like soon as I cum... I come to my senses."

Brand is an extremely intelligent and eloquent individual. However he's just as susceptible to the mire of progressive thinking as most of the rest of the population.
"Don't destroy the planet, reduce the gap between rich and poor"? Give it a break Russ, this is the same tired leftist shit we've been hearing for decades, the shit that's slowly destroying our society. If anything, we need a right wing revolution.

Amazing in all the leftist countries and as the western world goes more leftist, the gap between the rich and poor only grows.
I look forward to see the evidence that corroborates your claim.
In the past decades, the UK and the US have introduced the most neoliberal economic policies in the West. Welfare state benefits, too, have been reduced (and no, Obamacare is not gonna change the overall trend) and these two countries have much wider income gaps than "socialist" Scandinavia.

He recently admitted to jerking off a dude in a bathroom as part of an experiment.

Oh. I'm not on top of him like that brother. (No pun intended.)
Never give a man excuses for touching another mans dick.
He's too flamboyant to not be gay. He kissed a guy on the lips in that rock of ages movie too man. He's pretty much gay for pay.

McCarthy-ite intellects don't need evidence.Nor are they capable of integrating it when presented.
To me the amazing thing is how our unseen owners dictate the terms of the debate-- I've never seen a wealth distribution chart on a major media TV show.
The lucky thing is most very wealthy people are very intelligent (and can count lol) and don't want to move further towards third-world wealth disparity levels-- see Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.
Warren Buffett "There's a class war all right, and it's our class-the rich--that's winning."
I am not a far right thinker in the least. But socialist economies simply do not work. They cannot work. They fight against human nature.
Warren Buffett was out there parroting Obama's failed economic ideas. Why? Because it makes him more money.
If Warren Buffett truly wanted to fix the wealth gap, he would push for less govt. regulations that destroy small and medium sized businesses and give large corporations and the elite wealthy an unfair advantage.
The problem with many Americans is that you regard every alternative type of market economy that does not adhere to the free market ideology as the dawn of Soviet-style socialism. In fact, there are many different ideas of how you can balance an essentially capitalist economy with sound social policies (social market economy). Denmark, for example, has a very extensive welfare state yet it ranks higher in the Heritage Economic Freedom Index than the US:
http://www.heritage.org/index/ranking
Believing that fixing the wealth gap by simply lifting regulations and cutting taxes is downright naive and historically ignorant. If you can give an example of how radical free market policies actually created more social equality, let me know.
The definition of human nature is debatable.

U.S.A. is still number one as far as GDP goes though.

Even pre-fame, he possessed an outstanding ability to pick-up elite women.
If he employed the same intelligence and charisma towards achieving his socio-political goals, I'd wager he'd be very successful.

If America needs a "revolution" it needs to be one that originates with the entrepreneur class/small business owners.
If only you knew how bad things really are.

Quote from an expat from the USA living in my native Germany : "...and the social systems keep everyone out of dire poverty."
If there's a collective real desire, real effort to guarantee a minimum living standard (here, real universal healthcare AND a right to live within your own four walls, the size of which is dependent on how many familiy members are on welfare. That is, no one has to be homeless here!), one realizes that you can have both ... good quality of living for all (don't be mistaken by my nickname, I actually love Munich and would not want to live elsewhere) BUT also incentives, financially, to progress. Top executives here can pull in 8 figure yearly incomes, too - and some actually do - and some wealthy families have enjoyed 9 figure dividend payouts in the past years thanks to record earnings by Germany's industry (strong in engineering in general) and corresponding record dividends. It's just the taxes are a little higher, and luckily no such thing as brain-dead rightwingers like the tea party screaming "foul" whenever the government tries to introduce quality services for all !
