that we possibly can.

And that means people coming

together and learning

a whole lot of stuff that

we just don't know

that has been driven

out of the culture

driven out of the society

driven out of our minds.

That tome is the

most exciting thing.

That is happening

it's happening all

over the world now.

Sometimes it surprises me how

effective you can actually be.

After we beat the Gap

I walked past these

Gap stores

and I looked at them

and I think

my God there's like 2000 of

these stores across the country.

Look at all that concrete

look at the glass

look at all the staff people

look at all the clothing.

Look at that power

You can still reach

these companies.

You can still

have an effect.

We can change

the government.

That's the only way were

going tore design re think

re-constitute what capital

and property can do

Fifteen corporations would like

to control the conditions

of our life

and millions of people

are saying not only do

we not need you

we can do it better.

We are going to create systems

that nourish the earth

and nourish human beings.

And these are not

marginal experiments

they are the mainstay

of large numbers of

communities across the world.

That is where

the future lies.

You know I've always thought

it's very ironic

that I'm able to do all this

and yet what am I on?

I'm on networks.

I'm distributed by studios

that are owned by large

corporate entities.

Now why would they put me

out there when I am opposed

to everything that

they stand for?

And I spend my time

on their dime opposing

what they believe in.

Okay?

Well it's because they

don't believe in anything.

They put me on there because

they know that there's millions

of people that want to see

my film or watch the TV show

and so they're

going to make money.

And I've been able to get

my stuff out there

because I'm driving

my truck through

this incredible

flaw in capitalism

the greed flaw.

The thing that says the rich

man will sell you the rope

to hand himself with

if he think she can

make a buck off it

well I'm the rope.

I hope.

I'm part of the rope.

And they also believe that

when people watch my stuff

or maybe watch this film

or whatever

they think that

you know

well you know

well you know what

they'll watch this and

they wont do anything

because we've done such

a good job of numbing

their minds and

dumbing them down

you know they'll

never affect...

People aren't going

to leave the church

and go and do

something political.

They're convinced of that.

I'm convinced

of the opposite.

I'm convinced

that a few people

are going to leave

this movie theatre

or get up off the couch

and go and do something

anything and get this

world back in our hands.
