Hipster British Comedian Russel Brand went on a tirade describing his revolutionary Marxist outlook on life. He called for an Alternative system and attack Capitalism.

Comedian, prankster, and recent guest-editor of the New Statesman Russell Brand appeared on BBC’s Newsnight on Wednesday, where he defended his call for revolutionary politics—despite having never voted—to a very skeptical Jeremy Paxman.

“I don’t get my authority from this preexisting paradigm which is quite narrow and only serves a few people,” Russell said. “I look elsewhere for alternatives that might be of service to humanity.”

“How do you imagine people get power?” Paxman asked. “They get power by being voted in. You can’t even be asked to vote…In a democracy, that’s how it works.”

[….]

Paxman finally got Brand to describe with some specificity what his revolutionary state would look like. “A socialist egalitarian system based on the massive redistribution of wealth, heavy taxation of corporations, and massive responsibility for energy companies and any companies exploiting the environment,” Brand explained. “[British Prime Minister] David Cameron says profit isn’t a dirty word; I say profit is a filthy word, because wherever there is profit, there is deficit.”

Russel Brand is ignorant because profits means you are making money. A deficit is when you are losing money. Mr. Brand by himself is a fool, but being part of the Popular Culture gives him outsized influence. Progressive control of the Popular Culture helps shape public opinion.

Russell Brand is a nasty and dangerous man. He exemplifies Marxist world view of the Hipster Movement. The ultimate aim of the Hipsters is a global revolution that will lead toward their domination over humanity. Hipsters are a menace and Russell Brand is living proof.
