oh, my god, you guys! Ever wanted to see a class of socialism indoctrination! THIS is how the magic happens!! No. Fucking. Wonder. I am right about now deconstructing this shit as it will help fight it off. I suggest you do the same as well. man, is this hilariously interesting with angering characteristics, as Chy-na would say.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I am going to stop, 6:16 into this video because he has made statements that are false, yet stated in a way that suggests disagreement exists because those disagreeing are in some ways, disingenuous.
Socialism was not taught because of fear, but because it FAILS. Always, every time. It can NOT succeed because economics, fundamentally, is about human behavior and socialism REQUIRES to succeed that humans act in the best interests of the group - all the time.
Anyway, beyond that, the teaching of economics - and my degree is in economics from the University of Illinois at Chicago (the bastard child of the University of Chicago!) and it took my taking econ classes in three different schools. Anyone that has a brain, that takes economics, knows that the foundations of economic theory are based on, as he suggests, delusions - based on fundamentals that are not found in the real world. I saw it over and over again and know matter how much 'math' or 'science' was used to justify the delusions, they were, and are, delusions.
That doesn't mean that SOCIALISM is better because the foundations of capitalism are not found IN economics, but rather in human behavior that only requires each person act in THEIR own best interests.
Economic behavior is found everywhere in our lives (my daughter, then a college sophomore, upon taking her first econ class gushed that and found it fascinating - so much so that SHE got her degree in economics also - University of California!) and yet, our understanding of it barely scratches the surface.
I can imagine that I would spend the next day, dozens of hours, fisking this video to no one's benefit so I'm stopping now. For all his degrees and education, he's a product of negative space: he sees the failure and because the failures are not recognized assumes that the opposites must be true and their absence is the result of malicious intent.
ARGGGGGHH! I love economics - I hate the way it is taught in universities.

He describes socialism as a criticism of capitalism--not a particular form of government.
@WilyRickWiles and? I was treating it as such based on his first 6 minutes.
It works even LESS as a form of government vs that of a republic, or even a democracy - which sucks inself into a socialist black hole eventually.
@tracycoyle Yeah, it's incredibly frustrating. I was sharing it in case someone wanted to go trough it as an indictrination session, not as an economics class!! Count your blessings you didn't go further, you would have ended PISSED OFF xD
One of the very few Marxian economists and professors. Who's afraid of Professor Wolff?

He does seems very meanie... LOL Well, I didn't know about him, and was shocked when I saw this class... Seriously, is that man missing so many factors in his reasoning... And what he says about the police, that left me with my mouth wide open.
@A1fredo I'll have to check it out. I've seen him speak a number of times, but not this particular talk. I wouldn't call him mainstream, but I usually find his talks insightful, particularly about workplace democracy. Fox News once had him on a Capitalism vs. Socialism debate, which was entertaining.
@WilyRickWiles I sleep with YouTube making me his bitch by showing whatever the algorithm wants to feed me because I'm a friendless loser and ai get lonely if I don't. Anyway, I woke up listening to another one of his talks which did sound compelling. That's what led me to start watching this one. But, man, what's wrong with him? Does it bother you finding his talks insightful when he is so wrong about everything else? I understand it shouldn't be the case, but I can't help feeling so, just a little.
@A1fredo Yeah, been there. I think we'd have to get into specifics to answer that one. Maybe once I see if he brought up anything controversial or unconventional in this talk.
@A1fredo There's 4 parts.
@WilyRickWiles Thanks, Ill check it out.
