pjamesbda Exactly,I'm astounded that a system (corporate capitalism) that has plunged the world into two great depressions is allowed to continue unchecked. Democracy was hijacked by corporate capitalism long ago and wealth now trumps democracy. Are the politicians asleep on the job or just puppets of the corporations? Democracy was put in place to protect the masses from the excesses via the ballot box. For that reason, corporate capitalists fall over themselves to finance politicians and 'buy' elections. They fear true democracy like the plague.

pigofapilot1 Absolutely - - redistricting and voter requirements are some other tools. But as you point out, by far and away the most effective tool is the "futility factor". Creating a atmosphere of utter futility drives people into a sense of despair. And then, they just give up. That is, after a fashion the first step. We absolutely DO need to "give up" on a failed system model. And instead of this idea of fixing it (which by the way, is another tool - remember the conserv. base saying the ACA just needed "fixing") - we need to throw out for profit health care, public utilities and all the other infrastructure issues we've already F'ing well paid for 2 or 3 times over. We need to understand we have rights; to work, to have clean shelter we can afford, health car and descent nutrition. These are non-negotiable...period.

Richard Wolff was on FOX recently and they basically laughed at him, called him "comrade," made predictable references to Trotsky and Lenin, etc. It's a thick wall of ignorance we need to crack if there's going to be any reform in this country.

We in the U.S. have been left in the dark about the qualities of democratic socialism. The grade school and university curricula are set by the 1% to make sure that we do not understand what is happening to us in the workplace and why. Capitalism succeeded in the 1950s only because we were untouched by the war. The breakdown of capitalism's promise for a reasonably stable and reliable life style has disappeared for the majority of workers.

Googily Moogily Because Marx said “the last capitalist we hang will be the one that sold us the rope” , because he called for overthrowing society by force rather than peacefully creating ESOPs and competing with capitalism. Marxism is Evil to the core and he ran his personal life as a selfish , evil bully. To see people cherry pick this animals quotes and to pretend Marxism is legit is a danger. Millions died trying to follow Marxs exact words of force. Don’t tell me that Mau, Stalin, Pol Pot or Lenin did it wrong. Marx was the Charlie Manson of economics.

Also, your half right in that some countries have failed with socialism like Cuba and yes Venezuela (though that country has other problems too) but others like Sweden, Denmark, France, and Scandinavia are doing well with it as well.

Great interview, brilliant duo to interview, however I think it could be improved by slowing the pace a fair bit, especially with two interviewees with so much wisdom to share. Felt like too often they were only just getting started answering the questions before the subject was changed or a new question was asked. Trying to have a short-form interview with just one of these guys is never good enough; short-form with both of them at once?! It’ll never be enough! This coulda been extended to a 2-3 hour long-form discussion & still every minute would be golden. Anyway, glad to have found this channel. Very interesting content, I hope to see you thriving and succeeding!

One correction here, feudalism was not replaced by capitalism. It was replaced by neo-feudalism. Consider that the general public regards the State as the superior Sovereign and Political superiors their nobility. Remember Dr Wolff, most politicians hold 'Titles of Nobility' the Chief of State has legally the same "King's prerogative" the same way the UK has its monarchy. Only the name of the title has changes. In thr UK the parliament is just like the judiciary and legislative brances of the U. S. government - -they serve an advisory role.👌💯👍

Lenin was way more than just good ideas. He was a profound Marxist theoretician, both in the broader sense, but especially in the dialectics between theory, practice and organisation. He was unmatched in understanding the development of Russian society and what needed to be done. Unfortunately, The civil war, which was armed and defended by the strongest imperialist powers of the time, the destruction of most Bolshevik cadres and the dispersal of the remaining ones, famine, demoralisation, Stalin’s degeneration and struggle against the party’s revolutionary wing, Lenin’s incapacitation and eventual death, opening it up to just anyone and and murder, underdevelopment and mass social and economic dislocation caused by 7 years of war. There is so much unjustly blamed on Lenin and much of his work was either destroyed, misunderstood or distorted by the Stalinist counterrevolution. It’s incumbent on all revolutionaries to read, re-read and properly understand his works.

@charles botha two points... 1... you can choose to try and diminish the truth or significance of Cornel West's statements by tying them to his price per lecture fee, but do you think that's a valid argument? And if you say yes why? Link- backed only. 2... where the f*** do you get off making a statement that Cornel West does sleep with women, when you have nothing to back up the claim. That is straightforward slander. It makes one seriously question if you have anything honest or sincere or factual to offer. Right? You have to dig for it, but if you are willing and courageous to ask the many why questions behind why the different kinds of Injustice exists in our world, I invite you to explore them.
