"We sure used to be. We stood up for what was right. We fought for moral reasons. We passed laws, struck down laws for moral reasons. We waged wars on poverty, not poor people. We (...) explored the universe, cured diseases, and we cultivated the world's greatest artists and the world's greatest economy. We reached for the stars, acted like men. We aspired to intelligence, we didn't belittle it, it didn't make us feel inferior. We didn't identify ourselves by who we voted for in our last election. And we didn't... we didn't scare so easy. We were able to be all these things, and to do all these things, because we were informed. By great men, men who were revered. First step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one. America is not the greatest country in the world anymore"


This monologue is one of the most extraordinary in the history of cinema. The youth of the entire world will put Aaron Sorkin on a pedestal for having written this..
Even if this great writer certainly does not know much about the postmarxism, the humanology as a science, and it is probably not even aware of the existence of  the "strata struggle"."
Even if he does not even see the next revolization arising, even though he did not understand the French proto-revolution in 2010 or the fact that revolutions (temporarily) won in Tunisia and Egypt, those (lost) Syria Omar Aziz (the admirer of Rosa Luxemburg), Cameroon, Burkina Faso, countries of the Middle East .... were all components revolutions of a much larger process,a revolization - a revolution of civilization.
Even if he does not understand that what will happen will be a return to the Paleolithic, and thus the end of the parenthesis opened by the Neolithic, the appearance of barns, and therefore the appearance of "gangsterois" - thieves of stocks - and therefore the appearance of slavers and bankers ....
Even if Aaron Sorkin does not know he's a Great Innovating (with capital letters G and I), even though he does not know that he belongs to this "stratum of Innovatings" and is a member of the substratum of the Creators Art .....
.... Even if all ..... he is in synergy with the future ..... as Crosby Stills Nash and Young were in synergy with the future - as CSNY were in synergy with the same process of revolization - before it was destroyed by Margaret Thatcher and the Chicago boys in the service of bankocracy Parasites since 1979

"NOT THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD ! THAT'S MY ANSWER"

Will (Jeff Daniels): [without letting her finish, he directs his attention to Lewis] And with a straight face, you're gonna tell students that America's so star-spangled awesome, that we're the only ones in the world who have freedom? Canada has freedom, Japan has freedom, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Australia, Belgium has freedom. [laughs] So 207 sovereign states in the world, like a hundred and eighty of them have freedom.

Moderator: Alright–

Will: And yeah, you, sorority girl. Just in case you accidentally wander into a voting booth one day, there's some things you should know, and one of them is, there's absolutely no evidence to support the statement that we're the greatest country in the world. We're 7th in literacy, 27th in math, 22nd in science, 49th in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, 3rd in median household income, number 4 in labor force, and number 4 in exports. We lead the world in only 3 categories: number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend more than the next 26 countries combined. 25 of whom are allies. Now, none of this is the fault of a 20 year old college student. But you, nonetheless, are without a doubt a member of the worst. generation. ever. So when you ask, "what makes us the greatest country in the world?" I dunno know what the fuck you're talking about. Yosemite? [Pause] We sure used to be. We stood up for what was right. We fought for moral reasons. We passed laws, struck down laws for moral reasons. We waged wars on poverty, not poor people. We sacrificed, we cared about our neighbors. We put our money where our mouths were. And we never beat our chest. We built great big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe, cured diseases, and we cultivated the world's greatest artists and the world's greatest economy. We reached for the stars, acted like men. We aspired to intelligence, we didn't belittle it, it didn't make us feel inferior. We didn't identify ourselves by who we voted for in our last election. And we didn't... we didn't scare so easy. We were able to be all these things, and to do all these things, because we were informed. By great men, men who were revered. First step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one. America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.
[Pause, then to the moderator]
