Episode #3: Capitalism Crisis
— Full Episode, Capitalism, Marxism, Socialism, Radical Left, Libtards, Inequality — 1 min read
Is capitalism in crisis? It sure seems to be. Progressives like Bernie (actually not 'like', Bernie is probably the only true progressive in the United States) push for higher taxes on the wealthy and a higher minimum wage. Libtards on Twitter hating billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos simply because of some round number associated with the amount of stock they own in giant companies - but will any of these seemingly trite issues actually solve the problem of inequality? The Enlightened Grillists aren't so hopeful. Our resident Marxist weighs in on these issues as well, and together The Enlightened Grillists give you a no-bias view on the current issue that is capitalism.
