The people of West Virginia are not for gun control, generally speaking. And he uses that. And they usually have these shiny objects where they're like, you see this? I'm a moderate because of guns. Or I'm a moderate because I'm a Democrat from West Virginia. But wait, let's look at your positions. You're against paid family leave. That polls at 84%.

So you're a radical corporatist who say that women should be forced back into work the day after they have birth. You're against a higher minimum wage. You're for every corporate position, and they all poll at 33% or less. So Joe Manchin is not at all a moderate, and this applies to almost every corporate Republican and every corporate Democrat.

They're all extremists in supporting what I call corporatism. So you have to get to a balance in order to get to the right answer.

Yeah. I really believe in capitalism. I don't think that there's really a second choice. Where it gets super interesting is the distinction between capitalism and socialism, because that's not at all as clear as people think it is. And people often say socialism and communism as synonyms when they're not synonyms, right? And so I view it as... There's basically four distinct areas.

It's obviously a spectrum. Everything is a spectrum, right? On one end, you have communism on the left, and on the other end, you have corporatism on the right, okay? And I would argue that capitalism is in the middle. And so... Communism, we know, state owns all property. You're not allowed to have private property. So I will piss off a lot of people in this show.

And so I'm asking for their patience. Please hear me out. And because don't worry, I'm going to piss off the other side too. Okay. So communism makes no sense at all. Totally opposed to human nature. It never works. It always evolves into dictatorship because it is not... built for human nature. We're never going to act like that. It's not in our DNA.

You could try to wish it into existence, and they have, and it never works. And it's because once you have almost no rules in terms of, oh, we're all equal, even though communism eventually winds up having an enormous amount of rules, right? Right. Uh, it creates a power vacuum when you say, Hey, there's no structure of power here, right? We're all equal. It's a flat line.
