The comparison is brilliant imo.
Many examples are given.
To get the point across.
Didn't see it and very boring not going to watch it again. To me the whole narrative relied on the strawman at the front. without the base it falls over like a house of cards.
Doubt that he or most viewers would recognise a marxist if they tripped over one.
What was that strawman at the beginning, duckwit? Are you able to say?

It is all based on a faulty definition of Equity. Without it the argument falls apart badly.

Looks confusing when I re read it. I did see the clip but didn't see what the previous post said was there.
What is the correct definition of Equity?
Why is his definition faulty?
This is a definition for
equity it can be put several ways with similar meaning.
Equity: the quality of being fair and impartial.
"equity of treatment"This is what JL said:
Equity - A administered political economy in which shares are adjusted so that bla bla bla equally.What JL has done is to present a rather odd definition of a system for
Social equity
. Probably a misrepresentation.
Here is a more accurate definition for
social equity:
Quote:The fair, just and equitable management of all institutions serving the public directly or by contract; and the fair and equitable distribution of public services, and implementation of public policy; and the commitment to promote fairness, justice and equity in the formation of public policy.
He basically made up his own definition of equity and got it wrong or was not talking about equity at all (who knows). This was the building block that his argument was built on. You know what happens to the house when the foundations crumble.
Quote:The fair, just and equitable management of all institutions serving the public directly or by contract; and the fair and equitable distribution of public services, and implementation of public policy; and the commitment to promote fairness, justice and equity in the formation of public policy.
JL is arguing that this is Marxism ?
Do you agree that being fair just and equitable = Marxism ? When you correct JL's errors this is what you are left with.
Being a Groucho Marxist I cannot say that I agree with him.
