Richard d wolff understanding socialism5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() “Ok boomer!” I think to myself, yet my conversational partner was a woman of no more than 30 years old.Īt a time when a majority of young people have a negative view of capitalism and a more positive view of socialism, hearing this refrain coming from a millennial was startling. “I suppose it depends on how you define it…” I began, attempting to use the same argumentative techniques as Wolff does in the pamphlet dangling between my fingers.Īs we discussed, it was clear that this person had totally swallowed the anti-communism pill and proceeded to blather the same tired arguments made by baby boomer parents and their generational ilk. I chuckled a bit, having heard this refrain from InfoWars or Turning Point warriors for years. “Socialism Sucks!” This blatant invective was hurled at me while I stood on a DC metro train reading Richard Wolff’s new book Understanding Socialism. ![]()
