The Matrix exists. It’s a bit different from “The Matrix”, Wachowski sisters movie. We shall call it Centralized Hierarchical Political Matrix (CHPM). And is no less malicious than the one from the movie…

The first mission of the CHPM is killing every humane idea. The common method is to take a human idea, and mix up the terms by labeling it to a terrible crime CHPM itself is responsible. Matrix’s propaganda leviatan did a terrifying job on distorting the notions of democracy, christianity, morality, liberalism, socialism, communism… If you want to know the real meaning of these terms, you have to go back to the original idea creator and read it from the source. Instead of doing it right way, CHPM will reroute you to its favorite source of fake ideas — Wikipedia! Resist the temptation. Go to the source. See professor Richard D. Wolff reveals the truth in this episode of Economic Update called “The Great American Purge”.

In the first part, professor Wolff explains the economics behind the great U.S. anti-leftist purge (“McCarthyism”) after 1945, and the economic impacts of that purge over the last half century.

In the second half [15:02], Prof. Wolff explains how that history produced a very different political response to the crash of 2008 compared to FDR’s response in 1929.

Economic Update with Richard D. Wolff began on one radio station in March 2011. Today, this weekly, one-hour program is broadcast on over 80 radio stations nationwide, is available in video form for streaming on YouTube and Facebook, and is televised on a public station in New York. Wolff’s specialty is to take complex economic issues and make them understandable, empowering listeners with information to analyze not only their own financial situation, but the economy at large. By focusing on the economic dimensions of everyday life - wages, jobs, taxes, debts, interest rates, prices, and profits - the program explores the basic problems of economies today and alternative ways to solve those problems, including changing current economic systems. Roughly half of the programs include interviews with experts, activists and academics on major current economic issues.
