I believe in the power of free markets and individual liberty.
Socialists do not.
I believe in people, not bureaucracies.
Socialists believe in forced collectivism in the name of creating some stupid workers’ utopia.
One of the most popular socialists on YouTube is Richard Wolff. Unfortunately, he's an old curmudgeon like Bernie Sanders and somehow popular with the children. He has numerous videos on YouTube with millions of views.
And he can't stop lying.
Wolff regularly complains that not enough Marx is taught in school.
However, Marx is currently in the top 50 most cited sources in the humanities and has been for decades.
As much as I can’t stand this guy’s lies I have to give it to him a bit for continuing to debate the other side. (I posted one of his debates below)
He goes out there and gets trounced all day, every day. YouTube channels regularly turn the comments off on his videos because most socialists can’t take criticism.
Yet Wolff still engages with the media, loses another debate, and goes out there again.
He must not see it as losing.
I definitely do.
Wolff chooses to not understand the reality that by giving us a job our employers are not ripping us off.
Although some jobs suck, in a capitalist society we have the ability to move on to greener pastures.
Wolff tends to lie through his teeth and pretend that CEOs are somehow similar to kings and queens or dictators.
