Spot on points that have been made many times before, but are reduced to less than 10 minutes. Good job! The rebuttal video: I couldn't make it past the first 5 minutes because, like usual, the straw man rears its ugly head a number of times. The "socialism kills" crowd love to use "authoritarianism" and "totalitarianism" as the bugaboos for their argument - oh, and "the people asked for socialism, so this is what they got" canard that the guy in the rebuttal video began using is also incredibly disingenuous - and he may know this. Don't see anything funny with the rebuttal but I also can't take him seriously with his line of "reasoning." Does the guy in the first video really call himself a communist somewhere? He may be, but I didn't see this mentioned by him (?) Maybe it's because I haven't had any caffeine yet this morning. I'll have to search in more detail for that.
He's an open communist. And I did say the vid I posted wasn't too great of a debunking, just posted because I recently watched it.
I was actually in the process of editing my post (removing the vid in the process) but thought maybe somebody might have watched it - which seems to be the case - so I will just keep it there.
But I will leave you with an argument for Capitalism that is more substantive:

For all I poke fun at you we actually do agree on that.

I agree with elph on most things I just think he's d-bag about things.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

You can **** their wives if you want. Convince them that you represent an pure form of authenticity that their lives are missing. That you're the link to that reality they were always afraid to live. Boom. You ****ed some yuppie's wife. He ain't gonna do **** about it. Too much to lose lol
