Pls post woke videos/articles on why capitalism....bad? Why nothing matters. Why im gay, so what  The more digestible the better. Sadly not everyone has time to watch hour-long Richard Wolff videos. I'm tailoring this thread specifically to people who need simple primers on the true nature of the way things are, and the historical origins of modern social relations.

I suspect the easiest way to appeal to people for socialism is to point out the anti-democratic nature of the modern american workplace. You have a small group of chief executives, appointed by a small group of a board of directors, who themselves are appointed by a tiny minority of shareholders. These tiny groups of people make all the important economic decisions for the vast majority of American workers. Where to work. Who does the work. What to make. How to make it. What to do with the revenues. Et cetera. It should surprise no one that this tiny minority typically makes decisions that benefit primarily themselves. The impacts on society and the employees themselves are not a primary consideration to this tiny minority. Capitalism is defined as the economic relationship between employer and employee. This relationship is a tyrannically anti-democratic institution. Why embrace democracy in politics but turn off this embrace for the important economic decisions of society and cede control to a tiny minority of people? Richard Wolff likes to say the solution to this problem kind of jumps out at you. Why not make the workplace a democracy? Let the employees also be the employers. Let the employees democratically make the important economic decisions. This solves many problems. You would not have had the mass exodus of manufacturing jobs from the United States. You would not have the obscene economic inequalities between people. You would not have such imbalances in political representation resulting from the vast economic inequalities. Et cetera.
