According to the YT video this is a UMASS professor who is explaining his socialist dream of America to these hungry OWS protesters, encouraging them to overthrow capitalism and telling them that the only obstacle is the minority of the one percent::thumbup1:

Yeah, it always makes our teaches rather interesting. We also have a couple marxists outside of the Econ department. And as another side note, I think the professor speaking was Richard Wolff.

Here's a comment
"I posted the quote in agreement with ya, d00d. I do want them to f**k up; it's way past time for them to learn that we're not going along. Too bad the NG didn't have permission to engage @ Kent." :thumbdown:

Famously isolated from the real world in their Academic ivory towers?

That's Richard Wolff in the video ( http://rdwolff.com/ )

He went to Harvard, Yale and Stanford. Hot beds of proletarian militancy all of them.

His other revolutionary credentials include forming a branch of the small-time capitalist Green Party to run for Mayor and writing things like "with government spending focused on jobs and affordable housing, Obama might also have developed into a popular hero along the lines of FDR...".

Yeah, he's more a left wing Keynesian than actual Marxist. I watched his talk on the crisis and his biggest hope was that the country becomes like Silicon Valley. He called them communist enterprises.

I know, he didn't even revolution!

Actually Harvard and Yale do have more Left wing professors than one would think. I believe Paul Sweezy taught at Harvard for example.

I didn't know that Keynesians called for worker ownership over the means of production.

He advocates for spending on jobs and affordable housing which is what alot of Keynesian argue for and his end goal is market socialism. I stand by my comment.


I went back and looked at some articles written by him and he also criticizss Keynesianism. K have alwahs viewed him as one so apparently I was wrong. Whatever.

Did you know the great nation of China is rationing rice? How great Communism is. No capitalism. And, I say, to mainly the mostly wrong arciologist,(no speller), if you were not there, you are probably wrong. US Indians, ate wild corn, as they followed the buffalo. Inca's traded gold for corn.
Free trade= capitalism. Please guess how much gold Inca's traded for a handful of corn. Answer. About 1/2 pound.


If he were smart enough to be a teacher, he should know about the black market, which is pure capitalism. Whenever statists and totalitarians eliminate the free market, the black market grows to take its place.

So in effect, these clowns are all in for the black market, which, for example is where you can go to buy an underage girl for your sex slave

Oh my god that is actually pretty sad. It really shows the true depth of the ignorance these people have to reality. So instead of arguments or facts they resort to just associating bad words or things with communism.

Capitalism. Happy. Freedom.
Communism. Criminals. Herpes.

Don't all leftists think that people should have jobs and affordbale housing?

He also argues that workers should directly own and control the means of production, a very non-Keynesian argument.

He was a student of Louis Althusser's in France, he isn't some American liberal professor who likes to sometimes cite Marx.

I already said I was wrong. Really I have only listened to him a few times and that was the impression I have of him. My other impression of him being an advocate of market socialism as an end goal seems to be correct though.
