1. I "like" how Fox Business invites a Marxist as his debate partner

The thought was I'm sure to have the ideal of "socialism" being defined not by a Democratic socialist like Sanders, but someone who self identifies as a Marxist. In order to make socialism sound extreme and ridiculous. But actually the good professor held his own I thought. Despite the dismissive grinning by the host.

2. Oh, Professor Wolff

is very used to debating these guys. Check out his videos on YouTube and on his website. Lots of excellent information and informed historical perspective. As far as Americans go, he clearly demonstrates that most 'Muricans have been conditioned to react like Pavlov's dog--except negatively--at the mention of "Socialism" let alone "Marxism". To our detriment, as the capitalists have used fear of Socialism to run wild and take over our political processes and thinking largely unchecked, with resultant negative outcomes for most Americans.

His video lectures are well worth watching.

6. Wolff does not argue Marxiam here. He argues socialism. And he's right on the money.

Sanders would agree 100% with this guy, as do I. And I'm not a Bernista.

3. Varney feels sorry if the 91 billionaire should have to pay any taxes but none for the rest

who have trouble buying food! He makes me sick with his "vigor" of capitalism and no discussion of the rich buying the politicians to gain unfair advantage!

4. He's good

very affable.

5. Our "Marxist Economis" (who actually calls himself a socialist, not a Marxist)

makes many excellent points for which Varney has no answer. Great debate.
