Honestly, that entire segment goes right to the precipice of getting it and then stops short. It's right fucking there, John, just take that last step and explain that capitalism will always do this shit. It's not hard, you're 99% of the way there every fucking week! So frustrating, it's like libs just enjoy edging about that shit day in and day out.
I dunno if it's the same one but he talks about how Venezuela is undemocratic because opposition leaders had been banned from running for president but if you look up who those individuals are they literally did coup and assassination attemps against Chavez
I'm 90% sure there's a Eugene V Dabs video with it
His recent episode of modi was especially infuriating where he talks about a critical tv station getting turned over to a billionaire friendly to modi.
I'm sure it'll shed additional light but he works for a capitalist TV network, he'd probably still be a capitalist lib either way because as someone else pointed out, his job depends on that.

That's most of John Oliver tbh
Right on the edge of 'getting it'
Watch the segment he did on Venezuela a few years ago, he's pretty fucking bad at seeing capitalism for what it is
His job depends on it
He's okay at seeing the problems of capitalism domestically but when it comes to "foreign policy" he buys in to the state department propaganda 100%.

0.00 self awareness.
He runs the ball to the one yard line, then takes a knee and says, "... and that's why it's so important to vote!"
Reverse Lucy
Look up who his wife is. Then you’ll understand why he won’t say anything

It is hard, the point of his show is to never ever get it
"talking about the symptoms of capitalism while never addressing the root cause with John Oliver"
Best description I've ever seen.
