Salesforce co-CEO Marc Benioff on reshaping capitalism and Big Tech

- Marc Benioff, chairman and co-CEO of Salesforce, joins "Squawk on the Street" to discuss his view that capitalism is "dead," and why he believes Big Tech may need to be broken up.
Totally agree with him. He is a long term thinker not from quarter to quarter.
DUMB
@@zelareka Are you taking about yourself.
Which should scare you. Because he is just an unaccountable private citizen, with access to assets greater than many countries.
You are ridiculous. There was nothing wrong with capitalism when started making the money he has now. Now it's "immoral"? You are a sucker if you believe this guy.
@@NunYa953 if you do not see the immoralities that's happening with capitalism now means that you are blindfolded and very conditioned to its system.
also, although he made money from capitalism, he made sure he was responsible and not greedy - which is why he probably made a lot because as he's mentioned, he made sure that not only the sharehorlders were making profit, but made sure his stakeholders were also benefiting.
He attac
He protec
But most importantly
He donated 900000 trees
Cramer is up there acting like such a child, giggling and rolling his eyes at everything Marc says. These business hosts are always so insufferable, defensive and belittling whenever anybody questions the state of capitalism and how social concerns need to be given more attention by businesses and government.
Lex Boogie absolutely. Watch the interview with ray dalio, the big hedge fund manager, get interviewed by the idiot joe Kernan on CNBC. Dalio is talking about giving back and Joe Kernan takes exception and constantly interrupts. Like we want to hear from a do nothing talking head like you Kernan over the most successful hedge fund manager of all time.
The problem was that this Sales-force CEO was criticizing Facebook for being a monopoly- while avoiding the question of amazon's monopoly ( guess who is sale force's largest client and who refused to use their services?) he is a fucking hypocrite, its laughable.
He destroyed them; they're baffled. Heads are spinning, they can't believe what they're hearing. Lol
Hitler, Lenin, etc. etc. said trippy things and promised people what they wanted to hear too. Didn't turn out so well either.
Check out Andrew Yang for president. He's talking about the same thing.
SURE DID LOL AND HE SAID HE SIGNED THE BILL BERNIE SANDERS WROTE AND , cant remember if he brought it forward or if he had someone else lol to get it passed like he has done countless times lol he might have passed it to Omar or someone lol yah !!!!!!! Bernie Sanders for a True and Consistent President 2020
@@jamestheotherone742 they blamed other people for the reasons of their troubles; scapegoat. That's not happening here.
Never idolize another human, but no one is doing that here.
He is bringing up great points and these other losers, like Cramer, are just worried about profit maximization and shareholders.
@@victorespino5650 Sounds like he's blame "the rich" and "capitalism" to me. Blaming the economic system for social failings and inequality. Round pegs and square holes...
Sounds like Andrew Yang’s #HumanCenteredCapitalism
A shit load like it. But the Bernie bros will say "oh no he's in the Bernie camp because he said big tech needs to breaking up" 🤦♂️
yayyyyy
Travis Harger i was just thinking the same thing. I agree 100% with you. Beniof sounds EXACTLY like Andrew Yang when Andrew talks about Facebook messing up our children’s minds. But Silicon Valley tech executives telling their kids no social media.
More like Bernie. Yang wants to give you a grand a month to stfu about everything that isn't people/planet over profit.
@@germij I'm guessing you are in the Bernie echo-chamber. Yang's Human Centered Capitalism is about changing companies bottom line to care about the planet, employees, children outcomes ... Go to his website and check it out :)
This guy is great I understand all his view points are not typical but Jim with his antics of body language when this guy is explaining stake holders vs share holders is ridiculous. I am totally for capitalism but this capitalism and to hell with EVERYTHING else is becoming a problem
It's because the guys he is talking to are the ones reaping the benefits of the system that he is saying he wants to change. Maybe even more than him considering that all they do is talk, while he manages one of the world's top companies.
The real problem is the reset button in every economic cycle is set by the wealthy and it always cripples the middle and lower classes. While the wealthy get to walk away with all their gains and cripple folks pensions and 401ks. The worse part is if it’s done dishonestly nothing happens to the wealthy but the hammer is brought down on regular middle/lower class folks. These clowns in their ivory towers need to grasp the fact that if shit don’t change and fucking fast millions of folks aren’t going to be looking for change but looking for blood. How many times does this have to happen in history before folks understand?
Why we need Andrew Yang for President! #yang2020
you mean Bernie? Yang wants to buy you off for a thosand a month to stfu about anything that is profit over poeple/planet.
The reactions of the panel makes them look veeeeeeeeery dumb....they just don't realize it. Great guy, great thinking!
@mansa afer is a racist and ignorant as hell. You think they are just journalist talking heads? If you look at their C/Vs and net-worth, they aren't 1%ers but they are in the upper class.
mansa afer nice racism. If you don’t like what someone says, criticize it. Don’t bring skin tone into it. You’re as bad as the kkk
@mansa afer Got racism?
The only main goal of any Corp in America should be increasing human flourishing and prosperity. Maximizing profit means you're bending towards cutting corners, slave labor, and whatever else will maximize profit
This planet is limited in space and resources, we are about to hit maximum population. This guy is brilliant. I’m getting some Salesforce stock.
lol. Just don't give him your candy too.
Beautifully put by Marc Benioff. Really enjoy the guys view on new capitalism and running a massive company in the new age. Putting people in front of profits ultimately will lead to more profit. Great philosophy to follow.
Imagine how much better the world would be if every CEO viewed the responsibilities of their company like this. I’d worked for Benioff any day.
The frustrations today are huge. Corporate profits are higher, as is CEO pay. Markets are more monopolized. Wealth is more concentrated at the top. Although the official unemployment rate is lower, most peoples’ incomes have gone nowhere and they have even less job security.
Meanwhile, Washington has become even swampier. Big corporations, Wall Street and billionaires have flooded it with money and lobbyists. Trump has given out all the tax cuts, regulatory rollbacks and subsidies they have ever wanted. The oligarchy is in charge.
I find it extremely ironic that a billionaire is saying that stakeholders the working staff are important and should be rewarded and three smirking financial reporters are putting him down for his attitudes on how to improve everything about capitalism this is a crazy situation ....three cheers for the rich guy .... and the there clown reporters ...who cares !!
"We need to value all stakeholders..."
-The Earth? (giggling) the Earth??!
That commentary says it all.
Yeah, it's chilling.
This correlates with what Andrew Yang is saying about technology. Gurdgiev who is as of today ranked #2 in the world in predicting Economies and talks about "data mining" and "age of tech" and the "age of machines" Gurdgiev talks very fast and with an accent so go straight to 8:00 in his talk to hear his main theme.
Unfortunately CEOs like him are very rare that's why capitalism as it is gonna be doomed.
The most philanthrophic Ceo i ve ever seen..wkg for a better world. Incidentally 😆i m also a salesforce developer working in an IT co. For last 10 yrs. Salesforce makes my living n i still dream riding on the " cloud " .😊
He's talking about Andrew Yang!!
He sure as hell isn't. Yang is really a libertarian, just bribing people with offers of free money. Benioff actually cares about people and endeavors to help them today. Yang has done nothing to help anyone. Benioff puts up his own money.
@@consciouscrypto3090 lol, define libertarian
@@consciouscrypto3090 Andrew started businesses specifically to help people. He worked at Manhattan Prep, a test prep company to help with standardised testing for college students. And he started Venture For America, because he saw the lack of entrepreneurship in America. He helped start a huge amount of businesses and created thousands of jobs, named in 2015 "A presidential ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship". He wants to give everyone a thousand a month specifically to help workers when their jobs are lost due to automation.
We have given corporations plenty of money in the form of subsidies, reduced tax rates, and other sweetheart deals. They made themselves better with that money. Now it's time to transfer those subsidies to the people and watch them do better as well.
If u invested in marc the CEO u made good returns... If u invest in what cramer or cnbc say u made less or lost....
Jim says it all the time, hes "here to make money not friends"... Why not make money with friends????
I believe that this is a very smart move from CEOs if they don’t want Unions to come back in USA.CEOs know Corporations do not have a good feedback from the stakeholders and public opinion in general. I believe Bernioff is right and Bernie Sanders can help to bring this discussion and policies on changing Corporate mentality in order to benefit companies and CEOs with this view.
government has already stepped in Kramer - this guy is facing the issues - how refreshing
No he's not. He's a typical rich liberal looking to make himself look/feel good by promoting simplistic answers to complex social problems.
@@jamestheotherone742 how is it complex? If your company makes billions every quarter and it's your employees who make that money for you then reward them accordingly. Pay taxes, take care of the community, take care of the environment, you know, things moral human bings would do. Nothing complex about it.
@@timcarroll7505 Because human beings are complex and your ideas of "moral" are subjective. What you consider "right" isn't what someone else does. Which brings us back to having government telling everyone what IT thinks is "right", which usually just makes everyone unhappy.
Capitalism with compassion.
Marc Benioff!!! You are the greatest!!!!
God, I love this guy.
Jim is so incensed over the idea of being nice to your fellow human.
This man needs to be protected at all costs
Marc Benioff the hero we don't deserve 😿
I don't think I need SalesForce for my company, but I'll find a way to use it to support this man.
I'm from the UK, love Trump and still pushing hard for Brexit over here - and I'm also a Salesforce certified TA. *Love this*
... I also have Star Wars office a bit like Benioff :- )
I've always liked this guy.
Cramer acting like a total tool
Andrew Yang 2020! #Yanggang!
Wow. Can't wait to read his book !
Marc Benioff appears to have a moral campus and the hosts appear to be bewildered by this. Questioning the state of capitalism is something we all have to do from time to time or corruption will creep in. From the attacks Benioff endured from the hosts it is evident that they should reed his book before challenging, only fools attack with out studding there opponent. The hosts appeared to be ill prepared and foolish to me. I am going to reed the Book "Trailblazer: The Power of Business As the Greatest Platform for Change" making my judgement.
Marc is so right!
This guy should be President
"People can change, people can change, people can change" HAHAH.... When in history has anyone with immense power and money "changed" to start caring about others?
This guy is on point
I own a hundred Salesforce shares. After this i am thinking about doubling down.
So when is Marc running for office? (obvious that he's setting up for it)
His net worth is 6 billion. Why would he want to run for office? Managing your company that way would be a pretty needlessly complicated plan to run for office if you ask me.
He said he never will
Andrew Yang is doing that for him.
Has Benioff endorsed Yang yet? Let’s get this guy a 🧢
That was an artful dodge about Trump.
Nicely said Marc
BERNIE SANDERS AND CORPORATE REFORM IN A SOCIAL CAPITALISM 40% Workers on Board, 20% for employees Union can be formed , all decisions with workers who share in benefits . Regulations for a sustainable business !!
This Jim Cramer guy is super annoying to listen to. The man's voice and mannerisms are like claws on a chalkboard.
Benioff for president
Corporate responsibility! Guess what, Cramer, paying your employees a living wage and giving a fuck about your community is actually a good thing and puts more money in everyone's pockets.
Hey wait a minute........he's not wearing a tie!!!
If you like Marc, you would love Andrew Yang. He wants to make normal people share holders too. Freedom Dividend.

thanks marc for 900,000 trees🌴🌲🌱🌴
I want distributed platforms. Information network effects are different than addictive drugs. Who do we trust to decide our access to information because while I don't trust Facebook the government doesn't have the best record either.
Marc got the sale
What a concept. Work for your stakeholders. Friedman is an jerk.
No one wants to be in a room with Trump
This has what to do with the video?

It's in the video. Smartin up...come on
@@robertbarth3476 No its really not. But whatever gets your TDS going.

Woot woot!!!
Team trees!
YEAH *HE SIGNED BERNIE SANDERS BILL* THAT SEVERAL HAVE SIGNED NOW !! BERNIE SANDERS 2020 YAHOOOOOOOO!
Capitalism has failed 1,000,000 times and socialism has saved it every time.
Markets create competition and subsequently innovation. We should reshape our definition of capitalism into " human centred capitalism"
www.yang2020.com/policies/human-capitalism/
@@lochlanfleming8536 Uh, we wouldn't have computers and cell phones if it wasn't for government funded R&D. Capitalism's innovation is a myth. Capitalists do not like RISK. Innovation is a RISK. Capitalists wait for government funded innovation, that's subsequently handed to them, before they provide the improvements upon the innovation that's been given to them.
@@MultiKalwin I agree that some notable companies have been somewhat funded at first by the government. But I would not argue that the innovation is brought on by that funding. So many companies initially invested by the government have fell flat due to them not having the right leadership or expertise to actually innovate. Innovation is primarily brought on by the people in those companies, otherwise they'd exceed their mandate and flop. Capitalists do take risk, if they didn't there would be no 2nd iteration of a product or disruptive markets.
@@lochlanfleming8536 So basically, we're saying that when the Right People are put in the right positions, either private or public (government,) good things happen. Sounds like this has little to do with any "ism" and more to do with creating a system that elevates the most intuitive among us.
Sadly, capitalism benefits the most financially callous among us.
@@MultiKalwin I 100% agree with that. That's why I support what Andrew Yang is doing. He's proposing a reformation of capitalism that doesn't just measure the economic value of a company, but the things that it gives to society.
virtue signaling extravaganza
Who's here cuz he donated 900000 trees?
Does anyone understand what the hell he's talking about?
Classical wingle mingling like being on a fried pan. Corporate guy tries to adjust himself into the leftist scam agenda to make the company appear a "good doer". Good boi points increased
@@133289ify Pretty sure he gave plenty of facts that show he is walking the talk.
@@133289ify he literally backed it up with what his own company is doing. You're delusional
jd123 Morph Kogan, It is believed that private company should just do business, not politics
@@133289ify How is trying to run a company that doesn't destroy lives politics? If I started my own company I would run it the same way, to the dismay of shareholders. The only reason CEOs run their corporations so inhumanely is because they'll be fired if they give in to their conscience. 20% of Americans own most of the stock market in America. Most Americans can't afford to buy stocks even if they knew ahead of time they'll go up. The rich get richer and the poor get left behind. What is so wrong with someone who wants to run a company that not only benefits rich people but average Americans as well? What's wrong with an energy company that cares about emissions and climate change?
If you think you can run a business for profit only and not have negative implications on the world, you're out of touch with reality. Caring about other people does not equal to pandering to politics. Not everyone enjoys being a greedy corporate shithead.
Did he come to talk about criticize Facebook or promote his book. Let him focus on his own Salesforce stock, it lost - 1% in last one year.
"That (old) capitalism" is not dead, those companies that do not maximize profit long term ALL THINGS considered are dead. THAT is simple math.
@mansa afer True...
Open Letter
Democratic Platform
- Human Scale
The Democratic Party will begin by defining the most fundamental concept known to this citizenry. We will define three words “We the People” from this date forward is shall mean whomever is within the boundaries and jurisdictions of these United States and wishes to remain shall be granted citizenship.
The Democratic Party shall have three stratus, Federal focusing on infrastructure and International Affairs, State infrastructure and promoting corporate structures (States acting as true non profits returning gains back to people), Local promoting and protecting corporate structures. All public building shall be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so the public can seek assistance or shelter.
The Democratic Party understands that we have the infrastructure and the systems to cultivate any number of individuals into productive citizens. Our hopes for the future is that some of these who migrate will staying while others get dispersed with the intellectual seeds of our culture. Simultaneously we will have a foreign policy that encourages trade relations that accomplishes two things immediately. The first and most obvious is that trade see no barrier. The second and less obvious is to allow the financial flow to be such that we elevate all societies that come into a trade relationship with these United States to the highest standard known to us.
The Democratic Party will do this, not by creating a new legal scheme, but to use legislation that is already in place. This Democratic Party will use the Commerce Clause as the main construction tool to construct new paths to economic success. As a check we will use the first amendment to encourage discourse in case problems should arise.
The Democratic Party has identified the legislation that will be our core piece of legislation; we now introduce a corporate structure that is “the most favored trust.” This entity will have a birth date, specific purpose, management team, the ability to raise capital in any market, no tax liabilities (except for sales tax for the given state and local municipality), and a definite well-defined lifespan of 75 years, the management team shall be charged with the duties of managing the entity one year at a time, dispersing monthly dividends minus the following year expected costs. This management team will not engage in any investment or other enterprise this will be the sole domain of the investor. Those entities that have been allowed to invest in other entities will do so through a separate and distinct facility will no day to day impacts on investing entity. They will receive a dividend if one is warranted.
The Democratic Party will no longer argue at what rate the top 10 or the top 1% is taxed. To this sector of our society the United States every year will adjust the tax rate according to national need. We come to a conclusion on this matter, this argument detracts from our focus to better society.
The Democratic Party will view the educational and medical institutions as support institutions that will be well-defined and well-funded. On the educational topic we are well developed as a society to define what is important in order to put forth a program that will prepare any citizen for any of the well-defined industry or professional field they wish to follow. Specifically, medical professionals coming out of our educational system by nature of the structured environment will provide a set of services at a very well-defined set cost. In this industry the Democratic Party will separate what is operational and well-established from medical research.
The Democratic Party will also promote environmental well-being by putting material development, material engineering with environmental vigilance. While promoting the development of materials for the use of our societal needs we will also use these materials to understand how they impact our environment upon reentry. These findings and these research endeavors will start here in the United States but will be dispersed throughout the world for the benefit of humankind.
The Democratic Party will promote compact cities with definable permanent boundaries drawing from the New Urbanist view.
The Democratic Party understands that personal and business relationships is bound by contract, in other words no contract no enforceable relationship.
The Democratic Party will stop at the second amendment and come to an understanding that, while in the past the party has advocated for gun control, which is met with resistance. We will now advocate for gun education for everyone. This education shall be commenced at the high school level, the actual program will be left for the local communities.

Unfortunately this seems more like leftist progressivism than business capitalism. Businesses who take this approach have to be incredibly successful with a lot of free cash. I’d like to see his business take this approach while going through hard times. We need more CAPITALISM and less IDEALISM.
If everyone became required to operate this way, no one would be at a disadvantage for doing so, so they could all be successful in theory. In reality, there'd be some casualties but that's ok. If an organization can't be successful without having a net negative impact on the people and animals who live both now and in the future, it shouldn't exist.
This guy really said homeless ppl are *key stakeholders*. Well if they really are then you should probably figure out how to not have them homeless by maybe not giving them access to drugs
Jonathan Langlois Drugs aren’t the only reason people are homeless.
C Hancock never met a homeless person who didnt have a drug problem.
Jonathan Langlois They you haven’t met many homeless people.
C Hancock why do u have an opinion on something u dont know about. Makes me think your a bot. Find it hard to believe that a real person could be that misinformed.
Jonathan Langlois Or maybe I’m a bot who can read.

Ah, woke capitalism! I'm not sold, Mr Benioff.
You don't have to be, whether you like it or not, change is coming to your benefit. It might not always be for the best, but it is better than staying still with your hands up your ass :/
@@dyanko91 I am yet to be sold that on the notion that for-profit corporations are meant to have a charitable purpose. By focusing on their raison d'etre, these companies inadvertently serve society's "stakeholders."
@@calvinkiwa5666 And in my opinion there lies the problem. As Benioff said if we are not working towards bettering ourselves and the world around us, what the fuck are we doing? Also, it is not about corporations doing charity, it is about them not doing damage. And there are very few that are not doing damage in whichever way you wanna look at it. Also we have all been sold this lie that if we just leave it to the free market, the people that rip the benefits of the free market will do the right thing. The same way that most people don't trust the government, I much more distrust the greedy millionaires and billionaires, as Andrew yang says, we need to give power back to the people and although you guys will never elect someone like Andrew or Bernie, who will fight for everyone and not just themselves and their friends, I still believe that people are finally catching on on the fact that we don't have Adam Smith's capitalism and most people, who become rich are more like Donald Trump and less like Bill Gates.
@@calvinkiwa5666 Furthermore I come from an ex communist country and while I haven't lived in that regime, my parents spent half their life under it, my grandparents most of theirs and yes people weren't free and that is the worst political system one can have. But, I would argue we were never free, not now, not 50 years ago, not 100 years ago, not a 1000 years ago. Yes, now my parents can travel the world if they choose to, buy everything that they wish for, oh wait, no they can't, because although they did everything right, according to the system, their combined salaries are still just above the poverty rate of some of the most developed countries in the world? Getting less than a 1000 euros a month being a university professor with 2 dissertations, that is not freedom, that is slavery. So fuck capitalism, fuck the Jeff Bezos of this world and fuck everyone who thinks we live in a free and fair society where we are judged by our skills and actions. It is a fairy tale, the rich have always controlled the world and will do forever. Can you imagine what the 1% will do, once they get their hands on AI? The answer, what they have always done, make it work for them, because greed and selfishness are hereditary. The thing is, that our chance of making this world better is slipping away, the more advanced we become as a society the harder it will be for the common folk to rebel and change things.
This is one of Andrew Yang main policies. Human Centered Capitalism. Basically a tax cut when a company provides data that they've done an action that takes care of their stack holders. And a tax when they negatively affect stackholders like a carbon tax but not just that, it includes things like dumbing waste in the rivers deserves a tax on that.
I can see the end of America
Has he thought this through? Who decides who your stakeholders are? Who decides what you should be doing for them? Who grades you on your performance? Good intentions, but what happens next?
Seriously? He wrote a book on it and very very clear examples during the whole interview. Pretty sure he thought it through lol.
Being able to ask questions about how a set of ideas should be implemented does not amount to a rebuttal of those ideas. There are countless possible answers to your questions. Be innovative and use your imagination for a few minutes and you'll come up with some yourself.
Hey Marc, how about you redistribute your wealth to me since you don’t believe in capitalism?
Oh, wait, you believe that YOU should still keep your money and everyone else should redistribute?
Lol. K.
time to sell his stock
So basically its socialism
You idiot!!! Look up the definition of what socialism means before displaying your ignorance publicly.
I wonder how he would feel about someone suggesting taking his Salesforce and stealing 51% of his ownership and splitting it out others by breaking it up and giving it to "other stakeholders"?
@Caldwell Transport Columbus, GA
He probably feels the same that I feel when the ruling class elites use the government to steal my money to line the pockets of globalist corporations and billionaires.
@@Supernautiloid He IS a ruling class elite who has lobbied governments around the world to get tax brakes and regulations that favor his data mining and selling globalist corporation. All of his suggestions are only going to steal more money from you in the form of higher taxes and prices so that government can waste it not fixing any problems so that they can tax you more to keep not fixing any problems. Man, you need to get out more, or at least research who you are holding up as your messiah.
@Caldwell Transport Columbus, GA
But your only solution to that is to steal even more of my money to do nothing that helps me. How is that a solution? Is it really better to have the globalist corporations steal trillions of dollars to do absolutely nothing that helps you or me than it is to tax billionaires more to give people healthcare and education? Your solution helps no one but the globalist elites. Mine directly helps the working class. I fail to see how your solution is superior.
How much corporate theft is enough to you? How much power do your globalist masters need? How much corporate control over our lives is too much to you? Have you even asked yourself these questions before?
@@Supernautiloid I don't think I ever offered you a "solution" of any kind. Only that what Benioff, Yang, etc. offer is guaranteed to fail and cause even more misery and inequality. Capitalism sucks. But its the best economic system that we have. Socialism does not work. It does not help the working class, it makes them slaves to The State. See: USSR, Venezuela, etc.
People like Benioff only want redistribution because he knows he can use the pocket change of his billions to buy the complacency of the masses by giving them just enough to get by, while he still gets to stay in the wealthy elites. You are being duped into maintaining the status quo instead of the people tearing the whole corrupt system down and demanding real fixes not just pay offs and sound bites.
Caldwell Transport Columbus, GA It appears as though he’s just fine with it. See, he’s where you naively think you will be and he sees how it is better to think long term other than looking at money like video game points, he who has the most wins. Look, you will never get to his level. Let it go. Put away childish things and realize what he’s saying will benefit you, not hurt some fantasy you in the future.
Boooooooooooo!!! He must be ready to retire with such a bleak outlook! Come Benioff we expect more from you!!
deg wahooo That’s a meaningless statement. You expect more from him than what exactly?
Marc is delusional!! or Stalin
Ivan Aguilar You realize you just called a billionaire a communist right? That should tell you how deep you’ve gone into the capitalist propaganda.
Now that I am rich lets change the rules..... Sounds a lot like climbing the latter and then destroying the latter once you have reached the pinnacle.
Sounds a lot like you need to separate the messenger from the message. Regardless of who he is, what he's saying is true and important and the only way for us to survive as a species long term.
uh oh - sounds like a new form of fascism to me - all the money to the CEO's and then they decide who the stakeholders (winners) - we need to fund the basics for people without reliance on the whim of a ceo..
Did you not hear him say that he is lobbying for billionaires like himself to be taxed more by government? Have you not read the essay he just penned about that matter? If he's a fascist, then he's a pretty piss poor one if he's begging government to take his money.
You're honest a god damned idiot and there's no point of you watching this video
How do people as brain dead as you even exist?
@@Lexyboogie You should research who the wealthy and industrialists were supporting in Germany (specifically, but around the world) in the 1930s. After the social disruption of the Great Depression brought out the forks 'n torches, the rich were talking just like Benioff is and they supported populist politicians they could control who would promise the masses what they wanted to hear without tearing down the elites the way the Bolsheviks did in Russia. However, it didn't end well because when you give the power to take from one, you give the power to take from all.
That is how fascism came about. So Mr. Underhill is correct. No matter how you sugar coat it with promises and sunshine, at the end of the day, the power to do what Benioff suggests requires absolute power by the State. And we know what absolute power does...
