Richard Wolff takes on Jordan B. Peterson

Apologies, there was a guy in some other thread who kept calling Plato's writings total garbage and not worth reading, that triggers me a bit.

Pretty sure the English Civil War effectively constituted a bourgeois revolution. Even though the monarchy survived, it was extremely limited and real power was held by parliament.

I think it is roughly correct. I don't know what he means by trial and error exactly, but capital accumulation was running alongside feudalism at a certain point. Feudalism floundered and fought for power and conceded power to the growing capitalist market over time, but it wasn't as ideologically distinct as the fight between "socialism and capitalism" is these days. It took the form of things like feudal lords fighting to stop the expansion of freedom of movement to the peasants, or even trying to basically kidnap them into their holdings. The peasants attempting to achieve freedom of mobility and property were, unbeknownst to them, making themselves an asset to the nascent capitalist labor market. They just wanted to have more of the surplus produced on their own farms, and the ability to go wherever they pleased, but this was building the basis of capitalist labor markets and they really had little concept of what historical process was occurring.

he mentioned in a podcast he had family members die in the holocaust. pretty sure they weren't gypsies.

Nazis have always latched onto Jung, though.
He essentially called Hitler the collective unconscious of millions of Germans.

They might have been communists.
