It's a good criticism against leninism and all its offshoots, at least. It's also really funny.

So yeah, no. The irony of it all is anarchists seem to just not understand states. And I think having decentralization as a doctrine (not saying it's not something that sometimes is very good) is just not effective in a global economy. Do I need to expand on this?

Is socialism accurately defined ? The word is claimed by marxists, anarchists as well as social-liberals.

I made my own definition to make it as large as possible but centered on its focus point.

"Socialism is a political doctrine whose objective, by collective ways of action, is to reduce as much as possible the inequalities, in rights and in goods, between all the members of the society."

44 seconds in and he makes a glaring error. He says that financial services weren't deregulated because a variety of new laws were put in place prior to the collapse. But that's a bait and switch. It's not "the financial collapse was caused by an overall reduction of regulation of the financial services industry," it's, "the financial collapse was proceeded by repeal of the Glass-Seagall Act in 1999, which increased alignment of investment banks and deposit banks; a lack of regulation of derivatives, which encouraged high-risk investment based on the assumption that housing prices would continue to rise; predatory lending practices that virtually ensured new homeowners would default and have their homes repossessed; and a variety of others." It's disingenuous to talk about deregulation without talking about specific deregulatory acts that have been implicated repeatedly as encouraging the collapse. Instead he talks about how we passed the Patriot Act. Seriously.

I hope that that is not the entirety of the thoughts spurred by it.
