Twitch Streamer Destiny and an Economist Debate Capitalism, Achieve Nothing
www.vice.com
Steven 'Destiny' Bonnell II and Richard Wolff debated economic theories for 90 minutes on Twitch.

I can't believe this is real lol

Throughout the debate, Destiny groaned loudly and twisted around in his chair. He put his hands on his face and rolled his eyes. The Twitch chat rolled along, arbitrarily scoring the debate and getting excited when either participant seemed to get mad.

“You’ve told me a bunch of things that capitalism isn’t. You’ve given me a bunch of random collected facts of history,” Destiny said after Wolff had given what he felt was an unsatisfactory definition of capitalism.

“Why would you talk about the history of it? That’s not relevant,” Destiny said, after asking Wolff why he refused to call the modern American democratic party a socialist party.

I've seen people IRL talk about him and Hasan. Truly the darkest of ages

    "Why should we bother to reply to Kautsky Destiny? He would reply to us and we would have to reply to his reply. There's no end to that. It would be quite enough for us to announce that Kautsky Destiny is a traitor to the working class, and everyone will understand everything."

        Eh. I wouldn't call it sad. The problems they faced 100 years ago are the same we face today. And the world turns another day :shrug-outta-hecks:

            Well I do think 27 million soviets dead told his brain to make peace.
