Americans talk about socialism like medieval priests talked about the Earth spinning around the Sun.
Pedro Lion awesome profile pic comrade
Some may also just explain what really happens with socialism in reality
Brynley Jones wat you mean the entire western capitalist work conspiring to overthrow and destabilize/straight up embargo any socialist nations? It’s works believe me, we just need to get rid of the oligarchs and their sycophants.
A capitalist is walking through his factory with a friend.
Friend asks, "What did you tell that man just now?"
"I told him to work faster", answers the capitalist.
"How much do you pay him?" asks the friend.
"Fifteen dollars a day" answers the capitalist.
"Where do you get the money to pay him?" asks the friend.
"I sell products", answers the capitalist.
"Who makes the products?" asks the friend.
"He does", answers the capitalist.
"How many products does he make in a day?" asks the friend.
"Fifty dollars worth", answers the capitalist.
"Then", concludes the friend, "Instead of you paying him, he pays you thirty-five dollars a day to tell him to work faster".
"Huh", and the capitalist quickly adds, "Well, I own the machines".
"How did you get the machines?" asks the friend.
"I sold products and bought them", answers the capitalist.
"And who made those products?" asks friend.
To which the capitalist responds "Shut up! He might hear you".
My dad escaped communist China during the 1940s...... ran to vietnam and met my mother(who ran from Cambodia because of the Khmer Rouge)... the communists took over Saigon is 1975..... they ran again.... they have a thousand reasons why they hate communism..... the difference.....? Yours is a quaint little story, my story is real life...... go fuck your ideology...... you dont know 'bout that life son..!!
Son if you only realized how many people capitalism has killed and continues to kill every year all in name of enriching a few assholes
Co-sign!
@@ironfistfreddie Communism is literally defined as Moneyless, Classless and Stateless society. Now compare this definition with all the so called, self proclaimed Communist countries.
@@eromonsele1521 don't you find it a bit odd that every time that classless, moneyless society has been tried, it failed so miserably and resulted in some of the worst dictatorships the world has ever seen? Must be a coincidence. But that's not real communism, your super special version of communism will surely work this time.
Boots owns these guys for the entire 44 minutes. He’s so much smarter than them.
Riiiiiight
How? he just spews the same bullshit every other lazy liberal who wants to get a paycheck for doing nothing says
22:35 to 23:55
Then that dude goes "yeah, I don't agree", before redirecting the genuine room for improvement in capitalism into a question of examples of functional communist examples.
Why does every pro-capitalist in this comment section at least have such a polarized view on economic systems? It's the same people who continue thinking in binaries. Boots Riley identifies as a communist, yes, but what he is saying isn't "pure communism", it's still a system wherein you are free to go about your business and have free speech and everything, it's simply the owning class who loses the luxury of hoarding the income from the labor that workers perform.
To make it clearer: There are basic necessities that need to be met, and the obscene length of work days, sapping the life and vitality of people, the actual profit of that labor is often mostly given to the business owners and managers. To think they simply need it to renovate the factory or whatnot is sometimes true in the case of smaller businesses, but
A. New equipment is bought as workplace luxury to increase profit further, rather than ensuring the workers are.Profit motive gone too far, to the detriment of workers. The customer-worker balance is quite upset here. Especially if you think of how those with financial stability are those who actually go out and buy things that require the finest of manufacturing, which would make the price on such commodities higher, which could fund the workers fine and proper as well as make the factory good to work in.
B. It's disproportionately given to management so they can have a nicer house, yet the hours they put in is very close to the laborers, or perhaps less.
C. It's a giant corporation (think Walmart, etc) and the owners are granted absurd amounts of money to spend on luxuries (like say, golf courses, small islands, smaller businesses).
Putting limits on the wealth someone can accumulate per amount of time worked (would apply to the rich owning class that isn't using the money to fund their limited business), would grant people enough funds to live at least a manageable life, prevent massive monopolies from exploiting the masses, make jobs more enjoyable and connected with overall shorter work days needed and probably more that I can't think of right now.
Sorry for the wall of text, but I'm honestly sick of these pro capitalist commenters with very crude language and binary thinking consisting of "wow look at china they are communist and so was stalin, and the nazis were socialists". Uh huh, sure. The Nazis: Death and oppression due to the economic policies, or was there deeper corruption? Stalin: Was an idiot and tried to do away with everything freedom related. That ain't socialism mate. China: A nice classic top heavy dictatorship with lofty ideals and honestly some initiative. I'll be their cheerleader, go China!. But really, it's true that none of those have achieved actual communism.
Also comments with "Oh snap! He's selling things! That's capitalism! No. That's a market. And we do not currently live under a fair and balanced market, which I would infer is one of the selling points of capitalism. People are continually disadvantaged based on where or how or who they are born as, and not everyone can just "work harder". Yes, he's using the system to try and change people's minds. No shit. It's the only way to compete and get people to actually notice the work, because of all the excessive corporate and media ownership. Props to him for using the system in a productive way, rather than pumping out several films that normalize the way things are now.
Also wow! Such vehement hatred towards communists, almost like cold war propaganda hasn't worn off yet. On another note, the fans of this show who make a point of not seeing the film, and commenting about how this man's communism is the reason they won't. That's wild, to completely avoid another person's artistic endeavors based on biases towards their beliefs. Also wild is avoiding contrary viewpoints in order to avoid having the mind change. Also wild is being afraid of change in general. Hey, be open minded, every "side" of a debate has it's valid points, and it's invalid ones., but efforts were always made. Ask the question "why does this person believe this?" and seek answers. Hint: It's not because they are some sheep-human hybrid, or horse, or anything. No sheeple exist. Just humans led to one viewpoint before the other. It's their responsibility to try multiple, and make an informed decision. If you think you've made an informed decision, then you probably haven't listened to the others enough. Life is filled with nuance, and bread. I wonder if this will reach anyone. Probably not. Lots of people in these comments seem impatient and denigrating.
Yeah I just tell people the definition of Communism is Moneyless, Classless and Stateless society then ask them to compare it to the so called claimed Communist countries 🤷🏿♂️
@@eromonsele1521 Sounds like anarchism to me, which I absolutely vouch for. Many communes all over the world with their own take on how to run it, with open borders and hospitality granted for work, sign me up. I like your response though. Both communism and anarchism are such loaded words after propaganda has affected people, it's tough to get away with mentioning them, even Socialism is struck down.
I suppose it's better to suggest their ideals to be incorporated into our world today, at least more so than they are. Thanks for the comment
"such vehement hatred towards communists!" Probably because that ideology has always resulted in a totalitarian dictatorship that erodes the freedom of everyone and usually results in the death of millions in the process. One could easily say "wow so much vehement hatred towards fascism, seems like some old WWII propaganda still lingers, try being more open minded." Utter horseshit, just like the movie.
Planned economies failed because the determination of the value of an item in terms of the average labor time under standardized conditions is nearly impossible. That's why Milton Friedman and Fredrich Hayek were against state intervention in the economy, because supply and demand are most optimally determined on an individual basis. That's how revenue is maximized and malinvestments are minimized. The guy in this video not only proved he was a hypocrite, as Jim kept pressing him on, but his arguments were terribly weak. He attempted to say that because he enjoyed making music for its own sake that we can rely on altruism, without any other incentive, to produce highly skilled laborers. Obviously this is fallacious. For one, there's the idea of economic Darwinism. The Eastern Bloc's planned economies all failed. It could take over a decade before someone could buy a car due to the waiting list and the lack of productive capacity. The strongest economies in the world today are all primarily capitalist in function, including the CCP despite its name. The usual response to this is that the CIA sabotaged the USSR and other communist countries. This is an unconvincing counterargument for a few reasons but we'll move beyond them as it's just one round of ammunition. Another way we know that altruism isn't a driving factor is based on application rates to various programs in universities. As sectors boast higher median incomes the pool of applicants to universities for that market increases in response and once the market is saturated and wages are driven down the application numbers decrease correspondingly. That's just proving something we already know, there are a lot more Jeff Bezos's than Mother Theresa's. Next, the guest argued that capitalism is inherently immoral due to alleged rent seeking in every labor transaction. I'm not sure how a mutually agreed upon transaction is anything but immoral. In a communist system your labor could also be exploited by you not being rewarded proportionately due to you producing above the average labor time for a good or service. Not only that but the idea of mutually agreed upon terms of transactions is thrown out the window. So it takes the alleged bad of capitalism and combines it with a destruction of civil liberties, noice. Furthermore, the guest clearly ignored the risk that the business owner takes on when starting his business. Many businesses don't even make a profit for several years and if it goes under he/she could end up in debt with years of their life wasted. In the same vein that a dentist's labor value has to include the years of education that preceded it, so too should that business owner's history factor into the equation. Simply measuring the value of the good/service the worker produced is moronically oversimplified. It's neglecting what I just mentioned in addition to other costs such as marketing, corporate taxes, asset depreciation, etc... The Scandinavian countries are the highest quality of living examples in the world because they found a balance between capitalism and socially conscious programs, which aren't examples of 'socialism' as the guest ignorantly described. There are a number of other things I could critique but that's all the analysis this video's worth lol.
I wonder if the comment section for this is gonna grow to the shit show I think it will.
I'm just glad so many other people already took care of it for me. Guests yesterday were boring as fuck and ill informed.
YEAH.....YOU ARE......
Triggered right-wing snowflakes never disappoint.
same goes for goo gobbling leftist, blm fuck stains especially.
Right? snowflake...lol go home grandpa. Here's a question...who's ever seen the sentence "Triggered right-wing snowflakes?" No one has is the answer. "Snowflake" comes from the left thinking they are all special individuals maannnn...artists maannn...no two are alike so each is equally important maaannn. The left can't even come up with their own slurs and insults. They're so confused about their own identity.
Not the biggest Coup fan but I have enjoyed listening to their music over the years. I also enjoyed Sorry To Bother You. I saw it twice over the summer and I will buy the Blu-Ray next week. Props for bringing in Boots for an interview.
I'm not quite as idealistic as Boots but all the people commenting saying "he should shut up because he's using a capitalist system to promote his movie hur-hur" - stop using such a stupid hacky argument. By that logic the US should have stayed colonies of Britain and not become independent due to them benefiting from the protection of the Royal Navy.
There's no ethical consumption under capitalism.
Great discussion for sure, I can see both sides of it since I work producing a product from start to finish but I only make 15% in profit because of investors, now me doing 100% of the work to make said product minus the sales aspect should qualify me for more than %15 right? But that's capitalism in a nutshell. If you can't produce 100% of what it cost to start the business upfront then you have to settle for what you can get. And if you'd want to protest in hopes of a raise there's always a replacement a call away.
You are using the boss' investment and hard work, so you think you should get about as much as him? That's never going to work. What's the boss' incentive to have a company if profit to run a business isn't worth running a business?
I am no communist but I liked this guy's movie. recommended it to other people just because it was so different. I dont even know how a guy who makes a movie like this even got it made. I cant see a mainstream hollywood studio letting him make a movie like this. points to him just for his originality. race bullshit aside it is still very funny to watch two black guys talking to each other with voices dubbed over by david cross and patton oswalt. its worth seeing at least once for its originality.
Here is the thing that you can't argue with: Denmark had the highest taxes in the world 2017. Denmark was number 1 in happiness in 2017. Look it up. It's not a communist country, but by all means, keep voting for orange billionaires thinking that will put you in number 1 of happiness, that may work one day.
"it's not a communist country" is all you had to say. This dude is a fucking communist, promoting communism, maybe try looking at actual communist countries like Cuba and North Korea, where do they rank on the happiness scale I wonder? Considering many Cubans would rather risk drowning trying to swim to Florida than continue living under communism, my guess would be they rank quite low. Also there's more to Denmark's happiness than just taxes. You really think they Danish are skipping through town saying "I'm so happy the government takes nearly all of my paycheck."
@@brandonmaster7901 North Korea is a dictatorship, same with Stalinism Russia and Maoist china (which is only communist in name now). Cuba has been under economic sanctions since its revolution. Somehow they still beat the richest country in the World in healthcare. Most of Europe has public healthcare, are they communist as well? Check out what communism actually means, as well as democracy (and all its types) and capitalism (and neo-liberal capitalism whilst you're at it). Break yourself free from the chains of cold war propaganda that overly simplified these concepts and turned them into simple binaries.
@@Pandemonius88 Yeah it's funny how every attempt at communism ends in a dictatorship. And Cuba beats the richest country in the world in health care? Are you daft? Everyone having healthcare means nothing when the healthcare is shit. Have you been to a Cuban hospital? Guarantee you you haven't. Yeah these major communist countries all turned into authoritarian dictatorships with massive corrupt governments riddled with human rights violations, but your super special version of communism has surely been tweaked to perfection to achieve utopia, haven't heard that from literally every dipshit that still supports this failed ideology, who all seem to curiously live in capitalist free market societies.
Also people forget that Scandanavia and Europe in general basically do not need militaries because they are protected by America basically post WW2. These countries take big savings of having any defense spending, our soldiers basically allow them to have such vast social welfare programs.
Matthew Nugent Thats true. But Sweden for example isn’t nearly as socialist as people think. The government runs the roads, healthcare, and liqour sales. The rest is pretty much a free market, even medecin now. I guess you can say its a mixture of capitalism and socialism.
@@FilleIceRises they are just capitalist countries who invest heavily into social programs. People also don't take into consideration how small these countries are, denmark has a population of 5 million we have a population of 300 million.
Matthew Nugent Yes it has never been shown to work on a grand scale. Russia being the clearest example.
Matthew Nugent 100 percent.
Nugent, I'll give you you a thumbs up if you remove your three unnecessary basicallys.
What I get from this discussion is that we need to have more discussions like it. To deny people the right or opportunity to have the discussion in any institution in the U.S. is fear based at best and fascist at worst.
I commented on a friend's post how I realized the good guys didn't win after ww2 because it was the working class that lost, and the parasitic capitalists that won. Automatically was blocked from being able to comment that, against community standard, was there a certain word that triggered it? Is facebook just spying on everyone?
So Boots is going to give the profits of his film to “the people” right? He’s not going to be corrupt is he?
He isnt advocating individual charity- you're mixing that up with capitalists who say thats the way. That wont change the world. He's saying that we need a full system overhaul that stops people from being robbed.
like taxes?
Jesse J I never wished this hard for Patrice to be in studio.
+Jesse J Do you even know what the word "corrupt" means?
It is clear you don't.

Did jim and sam redistribute the video quality on this one to someonne with a lower quality camera?
Must be your connection. SUper HD to me
@@Gmenpg I think it was just because I watched right when it was uploaded. Looks fine now, but the highest resolution was like 320 when I tried to change it.
I love ya Boots!
This dude straight up looks like he stepped out of 70s blacksploitation. They call him boss...
Boots is the fucking man
Sam, boots and a family of hungry grizzly bears should do a podcast together. Make sure to book guests like paul feig and pete davidson too
Great conversation!
Lets find out how well he treated his staff.
Lower unemployment would have the opposite effect, the job market competition would be much greater, higher wages would be offered to draw in employees.
Exactly- thats what he's saying. wages would become too high, meaning profits too low. Stocks go down. This is why pundits worry about unemployment getting too low. Full employment would mean wages would be uncontrollable.
Jim Norton is one of the funniest comedians around, and he's an intelligent guy, but he's not very knowledgable when it comes to politics and he shows his ignorance here. He tries all the hacky anti-communist arguments, and Boots patiently and gracefully debunks them one by one. This was fun to watch.
This is the biggest verbal smackdown the worm has gotten since Governor Jesse
The part that the "what about Soviet Russia" communism don't get is that was a top down run gov. It wasn't like workers were able to vote or overthrow the ruling party or decide the wages, how much freedom of speech is allowed etc.
Thank god someone finally said it. I was thinking this the whole time
Jimmy good job calling him out on that socialist bullshit. I like keeping the money that I earn also.
This guy is so far left that he called out Spike Lee for apparently betraying his cause by making a movie where a cop is the hero.
So good right?
All cops are bastards
I hope contracts fall through and Jimmy moves on
I think Boots Riley is intelligent and has cool ideas.
Communists in the 21st century are not intelligent by default.
@@brandonmaster7901 Wow you must have a big brain. Have you ever actually read Marx?
"I dont believe in capitalism..... im a communist.... but everything I do is capitalistic"
Every idiot's criticism of Boots for creating a capitalist commodity: "Nice revolt, peasant. But don't you know those rags you're wearing were MADE UNDER FEUDALISM?!"

Interesting discussion. Some dumb sloganish points (I just don't trust the gubberment...ugh) on both ends but a civil, interesting talk. Well done. Now to the comment section for awful stuff.
ANthony needs to watch this so bad
Boots Riley is Cornel West Lite
This is what a Rich Black Kid sounds like...yup like all other rich artsy white people who have been gifted fabulous opportunities. Patrice would silently hate him and then destroy him loudly.

Didn't they say up front they'd watched the movie?
Good discussion
I'm a fan of boots music, but I can'lt see how what seems to be a reasonable guy doesn't understand that there'ls more to an economy than just the labor. As if anyone above manager is sitting back all day kicking their feet up while the "workers" toil away.
He said the manager does work too and should be paid fairly for that- he says on here his problem is the "owners".
That's why Nick F said "above manager". Above manager. Above manager. That means the manager is working. You reiterating that he said managers do work is worthless.
You should not be heard from until you learn not to waste anybody else's time. I suggest a one month self silence. Above manager. Nick F is saying the owners - who are above managers - do more than sit back all day. Your entire two clause sentence is worthless garbage. You stink, Funkfight1.
@@FunkFight1 watch kitchen nightmares if you think owners aren't doing their fair share of work. Those are examples of owners who don't work. Many of them can't keep employees. They go into insane amounts of debt. They get no customers or barely any. And they have to resort to having some British guy scream obscenities at them on television to keep from going out of business.
This is my problem with everything boots talks about. And bear in mind, I get the culture he comes from. I grew up just north of Oakland. I get being an angry working class kid who looks down on the kids from the suburbs because they don't hear gunshots every night. I get thinking that there's a "them" that's manipulating the system and making it so me and my people couldn't catch a break (and I still do to some degree, I just lay the blame on politicians who make silly drug laws to try to ensnare young men in the legal system, then create welfare program incentives to keep those men out of their homes (sure, people could argue that those young men shouldnt have done drugs if they were illegal, but that doesn't make it any less of a corrupt response by the state)). But boots won't tell me who his "they" is, specifically.
@@nf4866 he said, the ruling class, over and over again.
If he prefers a socialist environment, there are plenty of countries that offer that. He's more than welcome to relocate.
Luv it or leave it FAWK YEAH!!!! dvv dvv. Nobody has ever said this before
Dumb
That's what your mom said when you popped out. Home run chippah
Strong words from a keyboard warrior.
How about no, fucko!
A 20-minute machine-gunning session? WTF? LOL.
Boots Riley looks like Sam brother
He should socialize those sweet sideburns instead of capitalizing on them. See what I did there? 😂
They are some sweet burns. Wish I had some nappy African hair but I'm stuck with this thin as blonde Arian bullshit.
On the bright side 5-0 ain't putting no bullets in me.
Didn't thumb down because the guys did a decent job. The first half of the interview I liked this guy, when he started implying communism/socialism is the answer I had douche chills.
OMG it's black Sam
I get his point of view but i think capitalism is the best we got .....sure we need a better health care system in this country and a reliable retirement plan, but the problems we see are caused by corruption and an incompetent government. I also think people should be more responsible for their lives too.
Same. I'd like for more affordable healthcare, education, etc. but I don't want to live in a communist country. I think the problem is just the allocation of the money and where it's distributed, as well as the other locations for federal spending (military) that are too high.
Why is everybody thinking so binary. No current system is 100% one thing, why does everybody keep thinking they are?
It's a fact that unregulated capitalism is extremely exploitative though. That is why having a more balanced combination of capitalism and socialism is the way to go.
That way the people that helped create the wealth are actually able to share in it.... Something that hasn't been the case for the last 35+ years
For the last 35+ years real income for the bottom has actually gone *down* while the average has gone *up* . All the profits are being skimmed to the top - the natural tendency of vulture capitalism.

@@nonofyabidnez5737 we don't live in an unregulated capitalistic society, we currently have a blend of capitalism (more crony capitalism) and socialism. And those who "helped create the wealth" are currently able to share in it. They are being paid to provide their labor. You want a bigger piece of the pie, they take on all the risk, and create the same goods or provide the same service, but for yourself, instead of a boss, there is nothing stopping you from quitting your job today and being your own boss, an entrepreneur, and reaping all the "wealth you have created"
This guy Boots is Realy letting his racism block his common sense . I'm glad Jim had the balls to call him out
What the fuck were you listening to?
This is a tough one to get through. He literally implied real communism hasn't been tried yet.
Amd he is correct. Study up, kid.
It’s never real communism. amirite
@@cooter2886 it's always real communism until it fails
The issue with failed communism isn't that they're communist, it's that they're a top-heavy dictatorship. Russia, China, Venezuela. Cuba seems to be doing alright, better than Puerto Rico.
Boots is correct. Communism is a stateless & classless society. No country has achieved this yet. They've been crushed by imperialism before they could get past the Socialist transition stage.
Feed Nana
a person who can use a microphone in a unique way that allows them to get people to listen to them from all over the country daily is a unique skill that is very valuable and hard to find. anyone with an able body can be trained to assemble a microphone. what am i missing here?
innocent.
Sammy BranMuffins, beard is looking good.
Jim did good with this guy but Boots should have a talk with Jordan Peterson to discuss the "successes" of communism. I haven't seen his movie but he should probably get a publicist to tell him when to shut up. Also, shout out to the kid in China who made that microphone for half a penny a day over in his communist country.
The beauty of capitalism is that within you can make art criticizing it. Under a communist film industry you think they will allow tax dollars to go to a movie criticizing communism? No.
Fair play to dudes or not kowtowing to Boots' politics... clearly a very, very sharp and talented dude but to be this ardently Communist and myopic about it...
Wow, a person who got rich off capitalism complaining about capitalism, never seen that before.
He's not thinking of only his interests. He's thinking about the interests of the working class. If he was thinking of his interests, he wouldnt rock the boat
Was he thinking about the interests of the working class when he was selling sweatshirts "Made in Britain" that were actually being made by Bangladeshis earning $1 per day? What has Russell Brand ever done for the working class besides get rich talking about them? He's just another counter-culture wannabe calling for the downfall of capitalism and government when he'd be the first one hiding behind cops when the revolution comes. Russell Brand doesn't do anything for anyone besides Russell Brand. Do you know that he can prove God exists? Barking mad this one.
@@FunkFight1 ok, so why doesn't he practice what he preaches then, and redistribute his wealth to the working class?
@@brandonmaster7901 what he "preaches" is that the whole of society needs to be set up so that the working class gets the full value of their labor. Meaning, changing the economic system. He doesnt believe that a few rich people doing charitable things- or giving away their money- will change the nature of our economic system. He's never said that- neither do any actual communist revolutionaries. For instance, Bill Gates has given away more than the net worth of 10,000 Boots Rileys and it doesnt change the continuing exploitative nature of capitalism. You are arguing a point that isnt there.
@@FunkFight1 and what is the full value of their labor? So how exactly does this work in perfect commie utopia land? Business owners, unless they inherited the business from family, have to take a massive risk to start a company. We're talking huge upfront investment in property, assuming this is a regular brick and mortar business, then you gotta buy the product, or pay to have it manufactured, you gotta pay for advertising, pay to keep the lights on, pay your employees, the list goes on. Starting a business is a massive financial risk, and business owners, but we should punish them for becoming successful cause they're somehow stealing your labor? The labor that wouldn't exist if they didn't start the business in the first place?
Jim is like a weasel.. but in the very best ways... I like that he sniffs out bullshit, like, I don't care who the guest is, if there's something that seems askew, he's going after it, and his low self opinion guarantees he doesn't care about the response, except as it pertains to the idea in question, and hell sink those sharp little fangs in and hang on til he gets what hes after. appreciated.
Boy how many times have heard this same story over the years. All the same cop outs. All the same delusions. Even the same way of talking. Thank you and goodnight
no the definitions of communism that he is using is actually the definition of free market and enterprising
Oh man, haha. I'm curious to see his film. I've never heard of Boots Riley. He seems geniune in his beliefs and I can respect it.
Having said that, I completely disagree with his political views and solutions. I think he means well but I'd rather move than live in an abortion of a government that communism offers.
He wants to make things better but has no clue how or the implications of implementing the type of regime in place to ensure communism "works" (even ignoring the starvation). Communism takes away all of your rights as an iindividilual, it needs to be enforced brutally, if not more brutal than a right wing society. He needs to read Jordan Peterson or even just wikipedia. Also I love how he justifies atrocities as "mistakes".
This guy is the biggest fool I’ve heard in a long long long long long time.
Yes. You are.
Oh please explain how?
Nic Wienson Dude said Soviet Russia wasn't that bad. Never mind defending socialism, the guy defended STALIN. That's absurd.
Idk man, a celebrity gameshow host is the President of the United States. I don't know if the status quo can really call anyone foolish at this point.
Anyone who'd take Stalin over Trump is a fool. I'll call it.

It's better to offer nothing than logical fallacies
there are alot of people out their with a crazy range of characteristics both good and bad. some people work there ass off and some people take the least path of resistance with everything in life. communism seems to ignore that human nature necessitates a system where our individual liberty is paramount and that there are vast differences in motivations for individual people.
What a maroon.
Probably a nice dude, but I strongly disagree with his politics

This guy watches Rogan can tell by the way he talks.
This isn't the whole thing I remember jimmy going in harder on this guy
For the 100th time. Denmark is not a socialist country! Yes we have high taxes but we have some of the most liberal laws and best infrastructures when it comes to businesses. Comparing Scandinavia with the U.S. is silly. The Scandinavian populations are very small and until recently they were very homogenous. Some systems only work with small homogenous populations because everybody pretty much thinks the same way and is "on board" with regards to taxes and how the money is spend.
Heart in the right place, head stuck on the drawing board perhaps? I'm British, but it seems fairly obvious to me that capitalism in your nation (being the place where the conversation is being held) would do better if the US simply stopped side stepping the constitution? Corruption ruins any system eventually....
You have a Left Wing and Right Wing and a Liberal centre there, naturally, that could keep balance. Corruption and aggrresive monopolisation and throwing away your constitution appears to be the problem.
Communism kicks ass.
Hello comment section snowflakes will be melting here. Please wipe your feet before you enter we don't need this places too muddy.
wtf
He fundamentally doesn't understand economics. He wants wealth to be shared, just not HIS wealth.
Economics 101 SUPPLY AND DEMAND. Go and read.
@@justchill135 to ignore the fundamental rules is to misunderstand the subject. Well done.
There are 18x as many vacant homes in the US as there are homeless people. Wheres your SUPPLY AND DEMAND for them?
@@wrendemartino-smith446 Really? You can't see it? A landlord is not going to lease their property for free. It has to be worth the risk. Otherwise landlords have to pay insurance/ legal costs for each tenant who misses rental payments. The homeless can't pay, would need to be evicted and would leave the property in disrepair. Too higher risk. You're example highlights how Trump got rich through supply and demand. He brought up several dilapidated buildings in Manhattan (when it was crime ridden), refurbished them therefore raising the land value. Then sold them for a profit. So, first he had the supply (delapidated buildings), but no one wanted to pay to live in them. When the land value increased so did the demand from people who would PAY to live there. Simple supply and demand (all of this information brought to you by reading books).
Kris Brown- You see, your problem is that you assume that landlords have to exist at all, which they don’t. They don’t do anything other than sit back and collect your hard earned money without providing any value themselves. Sure they might fix your toilet once in a while, if they even do that. My landlord pays somebody else to do it
@@wrendemartino-smith446 it's not 'my problem.' I'm not homeless. I own my house. I worked hard. And that's the answer. Want something? Work for it. Indisputable.
Wrong! Capitalism doesn't need unemployed workers. The unemployment rate is the lowest it has been for decades and our economy is soaring! We do need more workers though - but this guy does not understand basic economy or history.
More like Boof Riley
Incredibly delusional and out of touch with his own reality.
I get what he's saying, but he shouldn't be calling himself a communist lol. He's a mild socialist at best.
What is this guy talking about? He has a lot of words, but doesn't say anything that means something. Just rambling.
Glad we have freedom of speech so this uneducated person has a voice too.
Dig in and really research what your saying so we don’t repeat history that always ends badly.
Why are the people claiming others are "uneducated" virtually always the same people who never learned the difference between a contraction and a possessive (google those two words)?
Very interested in seeing his movie - until he started talking about communism. Hard pass.
Ryan Rodriguez watch it. See if it doesn’t spark some thinking.
I am now more stupid from listening to this.
Somehow I doubt it. I think you were just really stupid to begin with.
The guy distrusts the government, but wants to give ultimate power to the government under the mask of the power being “for the people”
I love boots!! he's a free thinker
Free? He literally supports slavery
@@thebrizzy So does all versions of capitalism we've seen so far, in fact they were built on it xD
I hate capitalism, please buy my movie...
I hate capitalism but need money to buy food wreckt
