I like how he completely misses the point even now. We don't need to end liberalism but we absolutely do need to tax and regulate.
No. Miss me with this lib shit. Liberalism has GOT TO GO. Liberalism is just the lapdog of fascism and always has been.
Definitely need both. Neoliberalism is a center right to right wing ideology that inherently favors moneyed interests and the status quo over workers and progress.
Having it as the leftmost ideology of only two political parties with real influence is lunacy.
Taxes and regulations are bandaid solution to capitalism.
As we’ve all seen, those with wealth use it to hide it away from taxes and to bribe for relaxed regulations or regulations to stop competitors appearing.
Liberalism and any other capitalist model need to go.
I don't see capitalism ending in the US during our lifetimes so I'll take any improvement I can get

Look, I'm not going to defend capitalism, but
Is not a problem inherent to capitalism. All of that stems from human greed, which you're going to have no matter what economic system you try to implement. The solution is to have actual enforcement of your regulatory guardrails.
We need to start encouraging policies like reward bounties for exposing corruption. Know someone who's breaking the law to defraud the government? Expose them and get 5% of the money recovered after a successful conviction.
