James is ABSOLUTELY correct to ask this man to define the terms he’s using. There’s absolutely no point having a discussion with someone if they’re using words in a different way than you might understand them. Too many times I’ve seen Americans use the term “socialism” to describe things like “free healthcare”....

Well in a literal sense it is a social(ist) policy to provide ''free'' healthcare, to have a welfare system. Its just that the umbrella term ''socialism'' has a lot more implications than most people know. Welfare/healthcare being just one of the many points that are socialist ideals. You can have socialist policies without going full blown socialist, you can order some of the items on the menu without having to order everything else thats on offer.

But what’s fascinating about this call is that this guy finds all of politics opaque. It’s a feeling of opacity about the entire political system. This is what so many citizens feel in our moment of democratic decline.

I love how people just throw the buzzwords around thinking they did make their point, but fail to explain them every single time.

James: what do you think Marxism means? Caller: listen mate... Me: hahahahahahaha

I can’t stop laughing at this bloke, he really thinks he knows what he’s talking about. I’m in tears! 😂🤣😭😭

To be honest I don't have a clue what Marxism is... mate! That's all he had to say, and to be honest he isn't alone in not knowing.

“Look mate you’re being facetious mate”. Loooool

Thought I was playing Ocarina of Time with how many times I heard "listen".

I really hate it when people use big words they dun understand then pretend to understand what they are saying by giving the excuse, "I don't have time to explain everything."

It's always alarming when you try to have a conversation with someone, only to discover that they're little more than a shallow puddle of meaningless buzzwords.

Legend has it the callers still saying listen mate

"You're talking a lot of sense, I just can't see it yet?"

James : "What is marxism, mate?" Caller : "My cat's breath smells like cat food."

This caller probably watched a bunch of right wing youtube videos and repeated their talking points, without understanding or researching the politics behind them.

It always comes Out doesnt it? The black kids this and the black People that. He had to put that in. All i can say is sorry about your small hands mate.

If you'd come to a conclusion by yourself via reading and thinking things trough, not only would you be able to explain every word, you'd be more than happy too. If you'd heard someone else's conclusion, became convinced and got angry, you would have no way of explaining each stage of the argument. In fact, you'd be perplexed as to why the other person wasn't as angry as you, and this would make you even angrier.

Listen mate, it’s just about the ol’ dialectic materialism innit?

That would have been amazing

This is a perfect example what's really wrong with the public trying to have an opinion on issues they don't really understand. People hear certain words and terminology from leaders they admire, and repeat what someone else is saying without actually understanding the meaning of these terms, purely for self gratification that they may look to have a slight bit of intelligence. If you want to express your opinion, or even get into a debate, you must back up your argument with an actual understanding of what you are trying to say.

I literally had a guy tell me a few days ago how he doesn't know as much as I do about the topic se were discussing, but how he knows enough to have a discussion, and he kept pressing the same simplistic point he started with, despite not knowing nearly any of the backstory, and after few attempts to explain to him how it's not that simple. He didn't budge an inch.

This caller has no idea what he's talking about. It's all 'listen mate' when he's called out to explain the right ring buzz words that he's using.

I'm going to go out on a whim here and suggest this caller doesn't know what Marxism is.

Completely clueless throwing terms like cultural Marxism and neo Marxism and his definitions are not even close, he doesn't even begin to explain what they both are. Too many idiots online just simply repeating rhetoric from other idiots

The caller speaks the language of hooliganism which is why it doesn’t make any sense 🤣🤣

"You're talking a lot of sense, I just don't see it yet." Going to steal that.

1:36 Someone behind the camera was definitely laughing hysterically. lol

People when will you realise that the words you use form the basis of your argument. If the words you use don’t make sense then neither will your broader point, and that’s assuming you even have a broader point. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and let’s say that he has a valid point. How would you know what it is if he is using the wrong language to express it? How would you know that you agree with him? You might assume you know what he means and that understanding might be totally different from what he actually means. If you actually knew what he meant you may not agree with him. And the only way to actually know what he means is to ask him to explain the words he uses. And if you find that a hindrance, you have two choices: a) Use different words or b)shut up and don’t say anything.

The term "Cultural Marxism", popularized by Jordan Peterson, is a rebranding of the term "Cultural Bolshevism" which was popularized by the Nazis. That's what makes these people so reluctant to define what they mean.

James: Whats the answer? Me: I give you the answer. No; Thats not the answer i want.

I've never heard one fool explain Marxism or define it. They just get upset

What does Marxism have to do with stop and frisk or political correctness (which is nothing but a term that bigots use against anyone wanting to hold them responsible for their bigotry).

O Brien is on point. He is literally asking the caller to define the words coming out of the caller's mouth, and caller is deflecting XD

I love watching you put these elementary school dropouts in their place. We need more people like you in the world right now

the last minute is excellent!!! a normal englishman murderer HAHA

This is what the News needs to do in America, is instead of letting a person ramble on, they need to stop them and ask them to explain the words they are using. Just like this guy, he's using the word, but doesn't even understand what it means, just like Americans who are against "Critical Race Theory"

Neo, cultural or traditional?

This was brilliant, make these folks explain their dog-whistling and see how quickly their arguments fall apart.

He could’ve at least have googled ‘What is Marxism’ before he came on!😂

This has to be one my favorite callers, his endless confidence only tempered by near epic incomprehension.

"So Teresa May is on the same side as Corbyn?" "yes" How you have patience for these donkeys is beyond me, James. But it is hilarios.

‘Cultural Marxism’ just makes me sound clever, innit.
