Hello everyone! Sorry I couldn't get any of your questions in, the allotted time was only 30 minutes, I couldn't even get to all the "main" topics I wanted to cover sadly.
We spoke about the questions of China's position, "market Socialism", his view of cooperatives and if/how they could seize political control, and more. Although I don't agree with all he said, I think he still gave a bit of food for thought within the very limited time-frame we had. I hope you enjoy it!
My thoughts are in another comment on the same video.

Talking w/ Richard Wolff: The Controversial Questions (China, Revolution, Markets and more!)

Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ComradeHakim Twitter: @YaBoiHakim A little while ago I had the pleasure of speaking to Professor Richard Wolff about a whole host of questions from China's position, to "market Socialism", his view of cooperatives and how they could seize political control, and more. Although I don't agree with all he said, I think he still gave a bit of food for thought within the very limited time-frame we had. I hope you enjoy it! 00:00 Introduction 00:55 On the political and economic nature of China (as well as its trajectory).
