Meet my friend, a radical leftist. Please see the timestamps. The first part of this discussion is about the differences in mindset between people who support different economic systems. The second is about socialism and communism and my friend’s thesis about why they haven’t been successful.

13:54 Is anarcho-capitalism self-contradictory?
16:15 Different definitions of freedom
21:40 Capitalism extracting surplus labor vs. the market value defined by supply and demand.
25:49 Alternative form of valuing labor by employers
27:20 Freedom, Wealth and Equality, the Citizens United case, and Social Darwinism

33:54 Wealth being deserved vs being earned

PART 2
37:38 Why Socialism has failed
43:40 Propaganda and international interference by the US against communism
45:58 Did communism fail because of the system, the people in charge, or lack of preparedness resulting in compromise?
