This is a phenomenal presentation by Dr. Richard Wolff on the long-known, glaring flaws of our capitalist system, their dire implications, and, most importantly, humane, enlightened alternatives.

The wealthy (Herr Drumpf et al.) play stupid bigots living in the hinterland like strings, sucking every loose penny from them, and everyone loves it while it’s happening.

Feels like it! π One more reason to GTFO.

Denial & ignorance (best case) and actively looting your historically suppressed constituency (worst case) are both very grave errors/crimes/sins/mistakes/acts/choices in an actual democracy. I’m hoping for massive amounts of cosmic justice, whether I’m privileged enough to witness it or not. πποΈβ₯οΈποΈβΈοΈπππ’π¦
