  1. @john-gg5iwin more capitalist leaning economies virtually no one dies from starvation, homelessness or going without medicine. In socialism all three have higher deaths per capita.

  2. 😂 no, he was a lying buffoon as always
    2
  3. Also OP is blatantly lying. He did not support capitalism.
    2
  4. Lie! The capitalist risks his wealth which is more of a risk than just becoming an employee. Grow up and think for yourself instead of regurgitating talking points
    2
  5.  @scotteagles4864 yes that is correct. My ideology is based on an actual understanding of economics and ethics as well as understanding history while yours is regurgitating some idiotic talking point that has no basis in reality or concern for the facts.
    2
  6.  @someonenotnoone wrong. It is wrong because it is wrong. Quit projecting your own religious dogmatic bullshit onto me when you can’t form an argument
    2
  7. No he didn’t. Laffer owned Wolff on the facts.
    2
  8. Utter nonsense. War is not a net profit. It destroys lives and wealth.
    2
  9.  dsgio7254 nope those too are not a net benefit. This can be shown with even empires like Britain having been shown to have lost money on their imperialism
    2
  10.  dsgio7254 that number has been extensively debunked as complete and utter bullshit. Why don’t you actually do research instead of regurgitating nonsense I just got done debunking? “British India and the $45-Trillion Lie” Article detailing how this claim is a complete lie
    2
  11. No it wasn’t. Reagan improved the economy dumbnuts
    2
  12.  dsgio7254 utter nonsense yet again. I already debunked that crap. Deal with the actual economic facts. Incomes and GDP went up while inflation went down.
    2
  13.  dsgio7254 wow you actually made one correct statement! Yes, inflation was tamed by the Fed increasing the interest rate. That in combination with changes in fiscal policy improved the economy.
    2
  14.  dsgio7254 inequality is irrelevant dumbfk. You being not materially equal to someone else doesn’t make you poor. And your idiotic take on poverty was already addressed. The government line for poverty is irrelevant here
    2
  15.  dsgio7254 poverty as properly defined would be. So would incomes and GDP per capita so why do you refuse to admit these improved?
    2
  16.  dsgio7254 that makes zero sense. Give me one source of economic literature showing that it was at the expense of someone else.
    2
  17.  dsgio7254 it’s not even a source at all to back up your claims. This is sociology babble, not economic research supporting your claim that someone’s gain was at someone else’s expense.
    2
  18.  dsgio7254 yes, they do. Just because you found a journal does not make it reputable or economic research. Now do you actually have evidence or just more emotional incredulity?
    2
  19. Wolff is lying and facts matter. Cope harder.
    2
  20.  @michaelmappin1830  Did you get mad that I proved Wolff wasn’t working class by pointing out the verifiable fact that he is a millionaire and not working in manual or industrial labor? 😂 Apparently so given how you had to spam in hundreds of threads the past five days getting all mad about it and claiming I didn’t back it up, then running away from every thread when I reposted the proof. You’re an idiot. Socialism is against humanity. Capitalism is not. People owning their own private property is humane. The forced collectivism of socialism is inhumane
    2
  21. Capitalism is better for all, not just the wealthy. Socialism doesn’t work
    2
  22.  @bcbeasters wrong. It was done and it failed miserably. “That’s not real socialism” is a meme used by idiots with no self awareness who are in denial
    2
  23.  @bcbeasters and that is a lie. You saying something stupid and false doesn’t make it correct. It’s just a giant No True Scotsman fallacy used by idiot socialists who refuse to admit it was real socialism and it failed
    2
  24. Profit is not taken from workers
    2
  25.  dsgio7254 straw man argument. Learn real economics instead of spewing labor theory of value talking points
    2
  26.  @michaelmappin1830 Wolff absolutely is in favor of government. You clearly didn’t pay attention. Try actually listening instead of spamming hundreds of comments with paid shill script
    2
  27.  @michaelmappin1830  more lies. This is you being a lying paid shill. Marx himself advocated for massive government programs and takeover of the state. It’s all state socialism. The rest is just your imagination
    2
  28.  @michaelmappin1830  no, workers are not the only ones producing. You are lying
    2
  29.  @michaelmappin1830  capitalists are not “getting the wealth produced by labor.” You know this is a lie. You spam it because you are paid to lie to people
    2
  30. He was correcting Wolff’s lies
    2
  31. Nah he brought facts while Wolff spewed lies
    2
  32.  @SwedishDrunkard5963  nope he uses facts and sources.
    2
  33.  @confusedarmchairphilosopher  nope he is right and he lays out the correct criteria.
    2
  34.  @SenecaRapson  no it isn’t. It is denying that certain statements are not subject to empirics just as mathematics is derived from proofs and not empirical evidence. Einstein had nothing scientific about his claims on economics so you’re still wrong.
    2
  35.  @SenecaRapson  Einstein was not scientific on economics at all, and pointing out that Praxeology is not subject to empirical evidence since its statements are a priori doesn’t mean that Mises as a person was the same. Austrian economics is not limited to praxeology.
    2
  36.  @SenecaRapson read the essay. Nothing in it is based on empirical evidence. Hence he was not scientific.
    2
  37. No he isn’t
    2
  38. No he is not. He lied right out of the open
    2
  39.  dsgio7254 another straw man. You had no data to support your claims and repeatedly lied about what the data said
    2
  40. Nope he is correct and Wolff is wrong
    2
  41. No they didn’t. The economy improved due to their policies
    2
  42.  @AnimaTriste no they did not. Stop lying

  43. Michael Mappin is a lying Marxist shill who spams propaganda for a living. He's so dumb that he thinks that all wealth is produced by labor. He literally blamed capitalism for the Great Leap Forward under communist China. He's been spamming this comments section and practically every other Richard Wolff video comment section for years with outright lies and propaganda, and he does not care about truth. He'll likely be spamming the same lies today in reply to top level comments here within hours. He's also responded to this comment with insults and fabricated quotes I did not say (not any actual argument) and hasn't even attempted to read the sources listed or provide any of his own because he knows he's lying. Plus he admitted that he doesn't care about the data. Here are a list of just some of his other lies: 1. He claimed that production has increased more than incomes. He has been repeatedly shown that this is wrong. (source 1 see "debunking the productivity-pay gap") (source 2 see "Heritage productivity and compensation") (source 3 see Reddit thread on bad economics titled "in EPI we trust") 2. He claimed that wages haven't kept up with inflation. This is in his copy pasted shill paragraph claiming that "capitalism erodes purchasing power" which was shown and explained to him numerous times to be wrong. This too has been cited numerous times and he keeps lying even after being given the source proving him wrong. (source 4 see "Econlib real wage myth") (source 5 see "FRED real compensation") 3. He claimed that people are working more hours over time. That was debunked and he kept claiming it with the source right in front of him. The facts show that people are working fewer hours over time as well. He's still refusing to acknowledge how this benefit has been passed along to workers and claiming that workers don't see any benefits from labor saving technology, which is outright false on its face. (source 6 see Wikipedia article on "working hours" particularly in the US) (source 7 see Our World in Data article on working hours) 4. He claimed that the Nazis weren't socialists. (source 8 see Eric July (Youngrippa59) video on YT for "Nazis were socialists" (source 9 see Mises article on "yes the Nazis were socialists") (source 10 see TIK video on YT for Hiter's socialism) 5. He claimed that Joe Biden was on the right wing. (source 11 see wikipedia article on "political positions of Joe Biden") (source 12 see executive orders from Joe Biden) 6. He claims that workers aren't paid the "full value of their labor." (source 13 see wikipedia article on "exploitation of labor" in the "critique and rejection" section which lists multiple economic references showing how the field rejects the labor theory of value) Now he's also engaged in lying about what others say and post to try to smear them. Instead of actually bringing an argument based on factual information, he just insults and smears. This is what Marxists do. They constantly lie and project because they know that their entire worldview is garbage. This is a grown man that acts like a child. He is not capable of a good faith debate.

  44. There is nothing good about socialism and I have yet to hear a valid criticism of capitalism that isn’t actually just describing the status quo mixed market or government.
    2
  45. No he didn’t. 😂 dude got caught lying about wages and making up a bunch of nonsense
    2
  46.  @mikely7354 he absolutely did get caught lying and thus lost the debate. If you have to keep proclaiming your side to have won with no idea of the facts then your side lost and you are just coping.
    2
  47.  @mikely7354 yeah because you can’t bring any facts. Get lost fanboy
    2
  48. It’s not a better book. Saez and Zucman are propaganda peddlers who manipulate data to push their leftist agenda. Also look up deadweight loss
    2
  49.  @marcjones744 nope. You are. Funny how when I brought actual data about things like real wages and called out your lies you ran away from that thread and abandoned it. You also are entirely clueless about the data manipulation controversy because like all leftoids you never actually fact check these dumb claims.
    2
  50. What do you expect? Idiot communists like Wolff and paid shill Michael Mappin aren’t capable of dealing with facts.
