cdgr0820's video: Richard Wolff takes on Jordan Peterson

Click on CC for accurate English subtitles. "Why do we not have the equality that capitalism promised?" And the answer is in the analysis of capitalism, in the way in which capitalism organizes society with employers and employees as the parallel to lords and serfs, and masters and slaves, such that the employees produce the wealth that the capitalists get into their hands, thereby becoming wealthier while the mass of the working people are excluded from the very surplus their creativity puts on this earth. In other words, there's an explanation. If Mr. Peterson understood that, his critique of capitalism might address that explanation. Instead, he acts as though there is no explanation, that Marxism is about the envy of the poor against the rich. With this caricature, with this straw man which he knocks down with gusto, he thinks he's actually done something. For those who know something about Marxism listening to him is embarrassing."
