      I think you have a point there.

      I kind of like this video because it identifies some of the problems with capitalism, and does so in an entertaining way. But then in the second video she creates a deliberately weak straw-person argument for revolutionary change and presents electoralism and liberalism as possible solutions, ignoring the fact that they’ll always end up in service to capital.

    Central planning is a dictatorship. Free markets are democracy. The end. Capitalism as we know it is mostly government decided winners and losers; patent laws, copyright laws, labor laws, licensing requirements, floors and ceilings, not to mention the never ending list of taxes, and on and on. Blackrock, Vanguard, and other investment/hedge fund firms are central planners masquerading as free market volunteerism. Central Planning systems become popular when a class of elites want to “revolt” against freedom and enslave the commoners. Free markets are freedom.
