For poor people I believe they are better in socialist countries, because the government is for the people, while in capitalist, they dont care much about poor people, all they care is how to take advantage of the situation.

This guy (Professor Wolff) just makes so much sense. Why don’t our political leaders just listen to him? This makes perfect sense!!! 🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️

That's why fascism is the final phase of capitalism.

Because capitalism without consumers to squeeze from will collapse until it go back to old feudalism or work slavery.

Jimmy Dore reflects the anger of middle America. He's a gem in the rough.

Yo, Jimmy Dore is out to get Bernie. And I get it. I think he feels betrayed. I know I do.

Is it capitalism failure or is it a failure of morality ?  Does capitalism create immorality? Looks like it does, over the last 50 yrs.

I agree 100% with Dore's analysis. We need a third party started immediately.

Corporate capitalism has captured everything in America. Everything is financialized and market-ized.

Well, we Americans gonna learn that you CAN'T. EAT. MONEY.

I love Jimmy's rants. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic and truthful.
