So now you have me really confused. So, I'm not suppose to work and exchange my talents for remuneration? I'm suppose to somehow just hope that I can continue to live in my house; even if I don't pay for that privilege?

This guy was making some sense until he said we needed to have a discussion....then I knew I was listening to a communist. "Needing a discussion" is code for the liberal left. It means "you guys don't take my thoughts seriously, so I want to talk about it and thereby slow down your life."

Nearly but not completely total bollocks. He very nearly gets it then loses the plot, which you'd expect as he professes to be a Marxist.

He's right in one aspect though, it's all down to money. The funny made by Gummints since Bretton Woods and hosed at their mates in the banks to who have also been given special privilidges.

What we have is not capitalism, it is crony capitalism.

Nice pictures, stupid reasoning, I agree with the commenter above.

None of the problems he elucidates are the direct result of the private property system. As he almost grasps, government intervention has been the primary engine of economic disaster for at least a century.

The fellow is a Marxist because he wants the world to be run that way, even if it offs a few tens of millions of us.

Quite clearly, as the speakers claims himself to be an intellectual all he is doing is menatl masturbation. It os pricks like him who reckon becaise they are so smart they can easily sort out how the world should be run and what you and I will do to make his grand plan so. I loathe and despise them and all their works

I missed how he ruled out "too powerful labor unions" as a reasonable cause. In the US the biggest problem is that the public sector unions support politicians that give them over-generous benefits that they couldn't pay for. The pols couldn't stop giving the unions what they wanted or they faced political retribution.

Guy sound like a Commie Loon.
