ahh… this crusty old faggot
out of all the youtuber people, this was has GOT to be the most boring, the most annoying, the slowest, and the most empty guy on the planet
i see the views, i see he has like millions or whatever, i click on his hour long videos, and i learn NOTHING i didnt already know from reading 2 pages of an intro chapter
makes me think if this guy isnt just a plant to make the whole thing look bad, pretty sure if we had it the central committee would give him 40 years in the uranium mines for talking for hours without actually saying anything, if that isnt an act of sabotage i dont know what is
Noah Watson
He covers current events. His show is about the news not about teaching theory. His goal is to provide the perspective theory gives you as a hook for people to get into socialism, using relatable and current topics to show people the contrast between bourgeois ideology and how you see things if you're a socialist. Again, not trying to teach socialism. He's trying to sell people on the merits of socialism by demonstrating how it gives you a better understanding/explanation of events than if you just by into mainstream politics/economics.

He sells the lie that capitalism can still be reformed through worker-coops, even though with a political revolutoin worker coops are useless as laws of competition would drive down wages even in a cooperative (evidenced by degredation of Mondragon). Wolff also aligns himself with David Harvey, who is a proven fraud that denies the fundamental tenet of Marxism of the working class being a vehicle of political revolution.
At the end of the day, Wolff will be unable to explain to the working class why they should align themselves with the bourgeois political parties or demonstrate in protests organized by unions proven to backstab workers, however as of now he serves as a gatekeeper for capitalism and it is the job of socialists to expose these frauds for what they are.

I've got my problems with Wolff, but I've never seen him say coops will reform or destroy or nullify capitalism.
Austin Long
This old canard? Wolff criticizes markets all the time (incompatible with co-ops as a solution) and talks more and more these days about violent revolutions happening if people can't get socialism through reform. You're talking out your ass.
Co-ops are far from the be-all end-all, but they're a very useful method of A) reducing the rate of profit by allocating more value to workers (hastening the falling rate of profit, i.e. accelerationism) and B) showing workers that running/owning the workplace is doable, particularly eroding some of the alienation problems that characterize capitalism.
Jeremiah Sanders
Here he is talking about the market. Most precisely, he seems to think that a co-op economy would encourage a transition to socialism because the market really is planned by corporations, but if the workers are in control they'd be more likely to cooperate.
Austin Watson
He's trying to provide a voice to as many perspectives in a discipline fraught with suppression in America. Michael Hudson has his own program on Democracy at Work that he sporadically updates as well, is he a proven fraud too?
Jace Rodriguez
Yes.
Xavier Rivera
In what way? What's Hudson wrong about exactly?
