Not sure if this is the right forum so please move if needed.
Many of you have probably watched Lauren Southern at one time or another. Love her or hate her, this video is worth a watch. There is no "gotcha" theme here or bashing of anyone. Instead, it simply helps clear up what is going on with our economics and the applications of different theories. Some bullet points:
- Capitalism is not opposed to Marxism. It is simply indifferent to it. It is indifferent to morality and pretty much everything else.
- Any system is just a theory until you add humans. Think Garden of Eden.
- Where do threats to us come from? How do we address those?
- Government is not an 800lbs Gorilla. It is an organ grinder's money dancing to corporate music.
- The individual also shares some blame. We don't always do things in our best long term interests.
Anyway, I though it was idea provoking. Glad she posted this. It has helped de-jumble some of my thoughts on the matter.
