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.

That’s the propaganda yes, but that’s now how it ends up in the power structure. Hence all those power struggles after those Marxist revolutions where dictators take control. Marxism isn’t an economic system, it’s a thesis on class struggle. Marxism is slavery of the people by the people.

I just banned them, went through this libertarian capitalism-supporter’s post history and surprise surprise, major transphobia.
Thank you. Yes, major transphobia. The ban was deserved.
