I totally expected him to talk trash.

It's unfortunate that Ralph Nader didn't receive this level of support the second time around...

Professor Wolff will support authentic Marxist socialism, or failing that, Bernie.

I'm glad you included the Bernie qualifier. ;-).

Edit:. Ralph Nader definitely qualifies as a social capitalist (Adam Smith economics, not the revisionist versions), although he hasnt claimed that. Socialism was already demonized, when he was young.

Anyone can have the name; the economic principles are the same.

I don't care about the Ism when it's too big because by the the little flaws have become big exploitable evils.

Worker coops are the next evolution so far as I can see, preferably small.

Yesterday I fell into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributism with this /s/Religion/comments/dmj/the_distributist_political_black_ice_myth20c/ I despise religious dogma too, but I'm glad to know about this thing, new to me.
