    Wells keeps pointing at random butterflies and going “Is this Socialism?”

    Fuckin Keynesians, man. I hate how rehabilitated that shit has become when talking to libs.

    To that last bit, I found that remarkable too. Stalin seemed to have a such greater bead on what is happening in the US than the “plugged in” armchair intellectual who came all that way to sing the praises of misunderstood capitalism, and to specifically name some pretty grotesque people as champions. He points to the expansion of a capitalist state bureaucracy under FDR that produced the USMIC which functions as the largest anti-communist force on earth. Hmmmm… maybe socialism is not just about people having jobs? It really would have been the cherry on top if Wells had brought up how Germany just started organizing under a new “socialist” party…
