  • Good Animation. Jerky irrational thoughts. Damaged brain?

  • He fails to mention that never has man lived so well and prospered so much under anything else but  Capitalism. Marxism has always (read your history) lead to a tyrannical dictator form of government.
    "The problem with Capitalism is the Capitalist. The problem with Socialism and Marxism is Socialism and Marxism"

  • OK last angry comment. Our banks are cheating us so we have to join and anti capitalist organization.

    AKA if Chewbaca does not make sense, you must aquit. this guy is silly. Smart, but really makes some huge leaps.

  • wait wut. too much Hayek? He completely ignores the libertarian/austrian school of economics here. Harvey is interesting but his clustering of neoliberals into one big ball is his intelectual weak point. its very upsetting. and Im not even from the austrian school.
