  1. Jeff Bezos does not work alone as the owner of Amazon. The federal government of many countries share in the profits of Amazon. Jeff Bezos grew the company, but he could not break thru the markets without the bureaucrats that REGULATE those markets! The left ALWAYS pretends the federal government does not have its own goals in this capitalist ecosystem. The federal governments of all countries determine how those markets operate. That is why all dictators and US politicians are billionaire’s and millionaires respectively.

  2. YF likes the things capitalism produces…he just wants to control HOW they are produced,(much more labor) and the profits should be confiscated and redistributed to the proletariats, who had nothing to do with producing of the new technology. Has any country successfully adopted this system?

  3. YV is extremely interesting to listen to, because he is a Marx communist that is willing to explain his positions. I think the basic flaw in his communist ideology is he assumes everyone is equal. That everyone has the same value system, that everyone is truthful. There is no system that can work better, more efficiently or give more products and equality than the American capitalist system. However, it has been captured by corruption in the federal and state government… not unlike other nations. Corruption is impossible to eliminate in any system, it spreads and grows like a virus. Watch what happens to the U.S., it is anyone’s guess what will happen. It will be a miracle if it can be restored to a constitutional republic. It is probably a one off…. kings, dictators and communism will always be the end result of any government…because people are not equal, have different morals and values and always want more. (We are ALL like Adam, in the Garden of Eden.). I think, unfortunately, we are due for another great flood.
