Killer interview, mandatory listening for Grey Wolves

"understand that we can go from capitalism to socialism in ways that have nothing to do with the government, that don’t require the government to step in, that don’t create the opportunity for the government, but that make the change at a different level, mainly at the level that we mostly live our lives, in our homes and in our workplaces. You may know, we are advocates for worker co-ops, for changing the organization of businesses so they stop being top down, hierarchical arrangements where a tiny number of people, the major shareholders and the Boards of Directors they elect, make all the decisions, what to produce, how to produce, where to produce, what to do with the profits, and to change all that and say no, let’s make the work place, here we go, here’s the idea, democratic. The work place, one person one vote, we make the decisions together."

"Socialism will not come through legalism." The government will follow the citizens, not the other way around. That's where the USSR went wrong -- socialism will come from the workers democratizing the workplace, not from the state instituting policy.

Bro what about that anarchist-communism? Ⓐ☭ 

YO IT'S RICHARD WOLFF! THIS IS ONE OF THE GUYS WHO HELPED ME LEARN WHAT POLITICAL WORDS MEANT!

Will, Matt, Felix and Virgil wake up in The Zone to take in the election results, process the shock, and accept Bill Mitchell as our new dad. More importantly, we discuss the failures of America’s expert/lanyard class, liberal ass-covering, the impotence and irrelevance of the Democratic Party, and our new purpose and priorities under the coming Trump regime.

Reasons to be scared, reasons for hope, and assurance that we’re still ready to ride with you all every day.
