5. there's something wrong with Prof.Wolff so no thanks

Listen, anyone who would put this on his website is mentally or morally defective. The date on this video is March 25, 2014--this was after the Russian puppet government collapsed and fled to Russia with a substantial amount of the national treasury. This was when Euromaidan was still new, the victory was fresh.

Wolff pretty much equates Soviet dictatorship with what Ukraine has experienced since the collapse of the USSR. It's bullshit. Economically Ukraine remained bad, but other freedoms were greatly expanded. The freedom to travel, for example, which was nonexistent for most under Soviet Communism.

at one point in one of his vids Wolff goes into total utopian views of some kind of violent revolution he thinks is going to happen when the greedy and corrupt will no longer rule. WTF?

I saw another one of his videos. He seemed to be simply proposing a Marxist plan for reorganizing the American workforce.

Or are his views more moderate? Do employee-owned and run businesses, like the insurance giant USAA that doesn't have shareholders, get the OK from Wolff? Anybody out there know?

I also despise the rise of corporate and 1% power, the stagnant wages and other concerns of his but when I look into Wolff's proposals etc he kind ends up sounding like a kook. A harmless one, I suppose.

12. I Am Not Your Paid Intern - Do Your Own Research

eom

[uhnope]

13. interns usually don't get paid but get back to me on that

I did my research and found out the things I've put forward. I simply asked if you knew enough about Wolff to comment about what I' found.

It's messed up that you don't know if he's considered a moderate or a radical, a progressive or a kook. You post vids by him so you should know a little about what and and who you're pushing

14. I Am Not Your Intern - Paid Or Otherwise - Do Your Own Reserach

eom

[uhnope]

16. I Am Not Your Intern - Do Your Own Research

eom

[uhnope]

17. you're not my intern but you do a good imitation

of a spambot with all those identical msgs

18. You Asked The Questions - You Need To Do Your Own Research To Answer Them - So Says The Spam Bot

eom

[uhnope]

19. thanks, I did my research. Here's the answer and it's fascinating:

Apparently, there's overwhelming evidence that Wolff is a overeducated flake with a blind spot as big as Ukraine who dwells in the hallways of academia being an irrelevant, obscure expert in order to hide from the repercussions of his irresponsible anti-democratic stances and sympathies.

If you can find any research to contradict that, let me know--but I'm not asking you to be my unpaid intern.

20. Sources - Sounds Like A Diatribe To These Ears Because You Seem To Have An Axe To Grind

eom

[uhnope]

21. my axe is promoting democracy and opposing fascism. What's yours?

22. As Suspected - One Is Unable To Provide The Sources That Impugned A Man's Character

eom

[uhnope]

23. I did that in my first post-- but I guess only a paid intern can click that link

I showed the link and laid out my POV. For some reason you keep clicking "reply" but failing to put anything in the big box that says "Message Text". Seems you;'s rather post pointless spambot imititations rather than even try, yet you keep clicking that reply button. I have found this characteristic of Wolff's fans/promoters in general--they like to post the vids but they can't actually account for Wolff's positions. I don't think I'm being unreasonable in my points or questions, but there's no answer from the Wolff den.
