What we need is an end of the alliance between malthusian environmentalism and leftism. Workers won't get a better shake when the idiotic left wages a war against fossil fuel. Your argument is unsound if not ridiculous.
I tend to agree with you on economics, inequality, corporations etc., but I disagree with you on guns... because without them, I think the underclasses will be damned to servitude/exploitation in perpetuity. unless they're armed, to one degree or another, they have no way to fight back...😕
As always, it was very interesting episode.
no sir, I do not enjoy "the antics of billionaires" and no sir, I do not believe they deserve that much money. not a single one of em. That kind of sociopathic greed doesnt impress me, it disgusts me.
Using Hong Kong as a source for taxation? Ew.
Please don't blanket all Libertarians under one category. Please say Libertarian-Capitalists or Anarcho-Capitalists. ✊🏻🥰🏴🚩
Excellent, concise discussion, Prof. Wolf!
We don't need the government anymore.
To say Marx is the most important critic of capitalism is very Eurocentric and excludes BIPOC critics.
Why the fuck did you bring Dore on? Smfh.
I know you referenced Syndacalism as a brand of Socialism, but I'd really appreciate it if you mentioned Anarchist methods of organizing a Socialist/Communist economy/society.
It might be an incredible interview, but I could not understand anything from it due to very poor audio quality
Thank you❤️
What happened to all the old episodes? I only have 4 showing now.
Amazing! Thorough yet concise, empirical and consistent. Thanks for everything you do, Democracy at Work! <3
outstanding program
I've followed R.D. Wolff for a while and have enjoyed his books, but he is way off on UBI. he frames the argument completely wrong and doesn't seem to understand the underlying justification for it.
the only problem is that this implies that conservative politicians haven't allowed labor disparities and inequality to forment specifically because it makes voters easier to exploit and lie to
outstanding program
His brief history of China is utter dreck.
