Sadly so many progressive events are marred by technical issues. Often wondered why this is. Great content however

Prof. Desai makes an important point that Marx saw capitalism as progressive because, however crudely, it was socializing labor i.e. building a world of collective production and labor empowerment as opposed to feudal production for individual subsistence and aristocratic aggrandizement. This is the sense in which to understand "socialism" at its historical origins. Socialism is a project based on the socialization of labor and collective ownership based on political recognition of this ideology of industrial labor. I would argue from this premise that socialism's historical failure was a failure of industrial ideology, but that doesn't mean the socialization of labor cannot take new non-industrial forms, even semi-market forms based on reforms in how property rights function, opening up private property to public claims without having to abolish private property rights altogether.

Does Radhika Desai offer any analysis of China's growing billionaire class? Growing class divide? If not why?

China does not worry about how many billionaires it has, as long as they do not challenge the communist party for State power. See Jack Ma.

No. Is it for the community? Doubt it. Is it for herself? Maybe. Is it from envy, hatred, and irrationality? Yes.

Very interesting

She said only what was required to explain her point of view. So the opposite of what you said.

@@NotAPacifist825her point is non-point or a better word, non-sense. This economy isn’t capitalist in the first place. Capitalism is NO GOVERMENT FAVORTISM OR ACTIVISM. She is about to break down and either start crying or yelling or both. She is literally out of her mind. Her point it’s, philosophical, ethical, epistemological, it’s not even political. It’s sheer hatred and ignorance.
