The fact of the matter is that Prof. Richard Wolff know how to interpret the hard reality the world is facing and how the war in Ukraine is changing the power struggle between superpower. Thank you Mr. Richard Wolff for your continue efforts to explain and share your thoughts. God bless you sir. God have mercy 🙏

[@danielhutchinson6604]

The War in the Donbas, began in 1950 when the Spooks began to introduce former German Soldiers into Ukraine. After the understanding that Russia does not allow any amount of bribe or threats to buy a controlling interest in Russian Resources, the schedule was moved up a bit. The G-7 Nations were not quite prepared for the failure of the Mercenary and Azov Army to overcome the Russian Heritage citizens of the Eastern European region to capitulate. The G-7 Nations now view the failure of their Currencies to purchase resources to continue their lifestyle. They are desperately attempting to assert themselves in the regions where Gunboat Diplomacy can be employed. The Black Sea appears to have some apparent restrictions that are inconvenient for the application of Naval Forces to penetrate? The cost of financing the unlimited supply of Weapons and Ammunition, has exceeded the supply of resources available to the G-7 Nations. The crashing sound that will soon be heard on Wall Street, as the understanding that around 75% of available resources are located inside the BRICS Walls that now seem to ask for fair prices for their Goods, should be making an appearance soon?

[@isatousarr7044]

Class struggles worldwide continue to shape economic realities, exposing deepening inequalities between the elite and the working class. While wealth concentrates in the hands of a few, workers face stagnant wages, exploitative conditions, and rising costs of living. The struggle for economic justice is universal whether it’s access to fair wages, healthcare, or education. Systems designed to uphold privilege must be challenged to ensure that economies serve everyone, not just a powerful minority. Real progress lies in prioritizing equity, empowering workers, and dismantling structures that perpetuate poverty and exploitation.

The belief that Capital can define Value is the issue that needs to be discussed.

[@danielhutchinson6604]

"Owner Class" seems to define people who seem to have a large amount of Currency. "Workers" seems to define those who have no disposable income. So if we dispense with the Currency that appears to have lost all support in the last 20 years, we lose the definition of "Class"......................Right?

[@mattshriner4897]

​@@danielhutchinson6604 No. Class, as the professor is describing it, has to do with a person's relationship with production. Eg. Some people provide labor to enable production of goods and services, others benefit from the surplus of that production.

The anesthesiologist is not just administering anesthesia to the patient. She’s also responsible of the patient overall conditions, she’s the one telling the surgeon when to carry on a when to stop, in contrast to the narrative proposed in the movies and tv series, she’s the actual boss of the operation room. She’s also the one who decides beforehand if a patient is fit for the surgery procedure. On top of that, at least in Europe she’s the responsible of the Intensive Care (ICU), she’s the specialist in “resuscitation”, in managing the artificially induced coma. Anesthesiology is one of the highest intensity medical branches. Anesthesiologists were those at the frontline (together with nurses, infectivologists and ER specialists) of the pandemic emergency.

Hi Richard, There is another prong to this. When the benefit provider - UHC, BCBS, or Aetna, etc have paid medical benefits they will submit a lien letter if a suit is filed by the patient against the physician or hospital and they request that a portion of the benefits they were paid out be reimbursed. So, in essence, not only are they collecting premiums but also being paid back a portion of whatever medical benefits were paid for the treatment or services the patient was provided.

[@BlackLibertarian]

This is why Trump got booed and laughed at when he went to the Libertarian Party convention and said that he's a libertarian. 😂

[@gamerknown]

Chomsky: "Anarchism is used for a very wide range of actions, tendencies, beliefs, and so on. There’s no settled definition of it. Those who use the term should be indicating clearly, as clearly as you can, what element in this range you’re talking about. I’ve tried to do that. Others do it. You know, anarcho-syndicalism, communitarian anarchism, anarchy in the sense of let’s get rid of everything, the old kind of primitive anarchism, many different types. And you’re not going to find a definition. Libertarianism has a special meaning predominantly in the United States. In the United States, it means dedication to extreme forms of tyranny. They don’t call it that, but it’s basically corporate tyranny, meaning tyranny by unaccountable private concentrations of power, the worst kind of tyranny you can imagine. It picks up from the libertarian tradition one element, namely opposition to state power. But it leaves open all other forms of - and in fact favors - other forms of coercion and domination. So it’s radically opposed to the libertarian tradition, which was opposed to the master-servant relation." I guess it's enantiodromia.

[@BlackLibertarian]

@@gamerknown I've read that quote from Gnome Chompsky before. He is dead wrong about libertarianism, at least the way the word is currently used in the United States: Libertarianism is based on 3 principles: 1) The non-initiation of force. Sometimes called the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP). The initiation of physical force from one person to another, or the threat thereof, is immoral. The only morally permissible use of force is RETALIATORY force. (i.e. self defense) 2) Respect for property rights. You own yourself, and you own the effects of your actions. "Ownership", in this context, means "the state of having exclusive decision-making rights over something". And property is "anything that is owned". This means that theft, fraud, slavery, etc. are all immoral. You have the right to use your property however you choose, as long as such usage doesn't violate the 1st principle. 3) Freedom of association. You have the right to enter (or not enter) any consensual interaction or relationship that you like, as long as such interaction doesn't violate the 1st or 2nd principles. This means that the Gnome's statement that libertarianism is dedicated to unaccountable power is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I just described. We believe that every person is equally morally accountable with respect to these 3 things. We also believe that the only way to achieve accountability is to either reduce (or completely eliminate) the state, because the state will NEVER be accountable. Allow me to give an example: You and I have an agreement that you will buy an iPad from me for $500. So, you give me the $500, but I DON'T give you the iPad. Instead, I just laugh at you and I run away with your money. In that situation, I have a moral obligation to either give you what I promised, or give you back the money. If I don't do either one of those, I am a THEIF and I deserve to go TO JAIL. Beside that, you can sue me, garnish my wages, and other things. All these things serve to hold me ACCOUNTABLE. OK, so then a politician comes up and says "give me your tax money, and I promise to do XYZ". So, you give him your tax money, and he makes ABSOLUTELY NO ATTEMPT to do what he promised. In that situation, he has a moral obligation to either give you what he promised, or give you back your tax money. If he doesn't do either one of these, he is a THEIF and he deserves to go TO JAIL. But wait a minute! Politicians never go to jail for stealing your money! Maybe I can sue the politician? Nope! I can't do that because he's above the law. Or perhaps I can garnish his wages? I can't do that, either. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I can do to force him to give me my money back that he stole. This is because the state has a monopoly on law. If it ever does anything evil, it can simply declare its own actions to be legal. Maybe I can refuse to give him my tax money in the first place? HAHAHA! I don't have the right to do that, and I will get put in jail for not letting him steal my money. This is the difference between the state and the free market: The state is unaccountable because it has the legal right to FORCE me to give up my money, and will put me in jail if I refuse. McDonald's has no such right. In fact, I have the right to completely ignore McDonald's and act like they don't even exist. This means that McDonald's actually needs to CARE about whether I have a good experience there, because I have the right to refuse to support them. Conversely, If the state wants to take my money and use it to bail out Exxon-Mobil, I don't have the right to say "no".

You get a job and the employer tells you that you must join the union. You join the union, they charge you union dues from day one. The day before 90 days the employer decides they are going to lay you off. You go to the union steward. They tell you , they don't know you. You officially don't belong to the union until after 90 days of employment. Not 90 calendar days. So the employer gets all their shit work done cheap. Things that the regular employee deemed too hard or too dangerous, and if you got hurt , they even screwed me out of workman's compensation. And when you do a good job and feel you deserve a raise, they tell you that you are working under contract and everyone gets the same amount of money regardless of how hard they work or how much they produce. Now you tell me what is the incentive to work hard and succeed when no one you work with cares about their job or take pride in doing it well.. The union ruined the country. They have no incentive to create a better workforce or reward a person that does a good job and it protects the employer because now they don't have to bargain with each employee on a individual basis. The only thing it does is protects the gold brick who violates the rules and it gives them a second chance not a get fired when a non productive worker who is not in the buddy club would have been fired a long time ago. Follow the money. The union president, the person who represents you, doesn't pay union dues and he or she is the one who signed the contract for you and they usually earn more money than you. Raises and bonuses for signing the contract and paid Time off for attendance in union meeting and conventions.

Yes but taxing all foreign product is not a solution..as even if jobs comeback it will not be cheaper to make in usa..or western world..ie if you think an iPhone for example is expensive now..imagine it made in usa by people making 30$ per hour.. ? Or construction price rising when usa cant import canadian lumber ? real issue is not to stop globalization but to make corporations pay fair share of taxes and actually pay people more out of the billions of profits they make. There is enough $ to go around just need to be split properly not hoarded at the top!

@danielhutchinson6604 That's the great thing about capitalism. As the free market corrects it will crash the businesses that are over leverage with debt (if govt doesn't choose to save them) then you have deflation when other businesses see that no govt intervention is otw then they will adjust their prices down to be more competitive & that will have ripple effects in all other industries that support this industry. Govt intervention & spending is what causes inflation. Therefore, allowing the market to correct somewhat like 2008 will eventually bring housing prices down. Especially if we follow thru with the illegal immigration plan. Trust if wasn't for 2008 I wouldn't be a homeowner @ the age of 24 like I did.

تعليق على سقوط النظام السياسي في سوريا الآن: 《إن ما يقع الآن من أحداث في الشرق الأوسط و خاصة منذ 1947بعد خروج متسرع من الاستعمار البريطاني من فلسطين، الذي أعقبه تقسيم أممي لفلسطين و إنشاء دولة إسرائيل التي لم تكن معالم اتجاهها الإيديولوجي واضح نتيجة إقحام أمريكا في الصراع الإسرائيلي العربي الفلسطيني رغبة منها في الهيمنة الإقتصادية على المنطقة الغنية بالنفط، تم الثورة الإيرانية الذي أدى إلى قيام دولة إسلامية شيعية هناك. و بالتالي إلى تنافس بل صراع مذهبي بين السنة بزعامة السعودية، من جهة، و الشيعة بزعامة إيران، من جهة ثانية، إلى نوع من الحرب الدينية، أججتها سياسة تدخل الدولة الإسرائيلية التي أصبحت ذات توجه صهيوني ديني منذ مطلع القرن الواحد و العشرين، في ذلك التنافس الذي أصبح نزاع مسلح مذهبي ديني، تجسد أثناء الحرب العراقية- الإيرانية (1980-1988). إسرائيل و من خلفها أمريكا تنتج حاليا منذ 2005، أي بعد حادث الحادي عشر من شتنبر الهجوم على نيويورك سنة2001، سياسة "فرق تسود"، خلقةالبلبلة و النزاعات بين مختلف الطوائف و المذاهب و التيارات السياسية حتى بين الفلسطينيين أنفسهم، مثل منظمة و فتح، و منظمة حماس، من أجل اكتساب السلطة السياسية. و ها نحن الآن نعاين التدخلات القوى الخارجية بعد انهيار النظام السياسي في سوريا يوم 08.12.2024》 م. علي برادة مراكش، 17.12.2024

Instead of listening to pundits on the networks Americans would learn so much more by tuning in to Mr Wolff..but unfortunately their downfall will be due to their own ignorance and apathy
