    Lmao I know this fuck back from when I was in Academia. To be honest, I think his heart is in the right place. A lot of his work has to do with how to help the poor within the fundamental framework of 'classical liberalism.' he just has such deeply rooted and turbo radiated brain worms that he's truly incapable of recognizing the limited to non-existent government he so desperately craves will inevitably result in the monopolization of force under private industry and firms rather than a public and democratically accountable institution (not bourgeois democracy, obviously I mean a socialist form).

    He'd trot out the tired pony of "crony capitalism" as an argument for why things are wrong now, failing to realize that THAT'S JUST CAPITALISM. :same-picture: Corporations/Capital is a fuck and will seek monopolistic and exploitative profits whether there's a bourgeois democracy, fascism, or any other kind of system that permits and facilitates private ownership of production. That's just an inherent contradiction that these fart sniffers just can't/won't recognize. In the meantime they make labor aristocracy wages and get all kinds of book deals/speaking opportunities funded by billionaire backed think tanks Propaganda mills and convince themselves they're fighting for the everyman. It's fucking deranged.

      We need to do a workshop with libs and libertarians where they're all given an apple and then two plants work together to beat everyone up and steal their apple, so they have a physical understanding of what the monopoly of force actually means.
