Zero Books Manifesto:
The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.
Zer0 Books wants to work against this trend.
I kinda hope bernie does “overthrow the whole American system”
Shapiro is a right wing elite hack who spends his life tricking people into voting against their own interests. Shapiro's masters are afraid of Sanders because he advocating economic policy that will help the working classes but will reduce their sacred corporate profits.
“Fact” and “would be” don’t belong in the same sentence. That is literally the opposite of what a fact IS.
Bunk Sheepiro really pulling out all the stops on that one…

Do I see Robert Kolker's "A Cinema of Loneliness Fourth Edition" (2011) on your shelf? I think I see Zizek's "In Praise of Lost Causes", too.
Is it me or does anyone else realize how stupid this man is and how dumb his comments are. Shapiro is the definition of stupid his picture should be under the word stupid in the dictionary. Sleazebag always looking for sympathy for the rich you bum ass. You are such a piece of shit with no shame whatsoever.
Ben, you’re a BAYDUH
Ben Shapiro: always wrong, always annoying
Ben Shapiro: “let me call Bernie Sanders a literal nazi in fifteen different ways”
Also Ben Shapiro: “that’s not to say Bernie Sanders is a Nazi”
Spoiler alert:
Bernie wins Iowa, New Hampshire
And Presidency
I wish Socialists would Learn MMT only because it SHOWS that WAR INC etc is NOT paid for through taxation. ANYTHING that has to be paid for at the Federal Level DOES NOT NEED to be PAID FOR with TAXes. NY Federal Reserve Chair Beardsley Ruml in 1946 stated: "Taxation for revenue is obsolete". The US Federal Government is a CURRENCY ISSUER and that currency is by fiat and is free floating meaning not pegged to gold or anything except the full faith and credit of the US Federal Government (btw Japan, UK etc same thing) not Greece though, because Greece is a currency USER, it uses the euro and not the drachma anymore, so Greece is a currency user like Mississippi, Puerto Rico or Massachusetts. The various US States however DO need taxes to pay for things (unless they get a block grant from the US Federal Government) The other thing to consider is that most economics professors and textbooks are still teaching economics as though we are still on the gold standard, which, we in the USA left Bretton-Woods in 1971 (December) when Tricky Dick was President and I was just a kid. See Dr of Economics Stephanie Kelton for MMT.
oh, and btw, Doctor Stephanie Kelton is Bernie Sanders' Economic advisor
I don't know why Ben Shapiro fears Bernie Sanders. The Democratic party is fighing against Bernie Sanders pretty hard so that Ben Shapiro and the GOP/Conservatives don't have to worry, and even if Bernie makes it through the gauntlet and gets the nomination, the GOP will still probably have enough people in the Senate and their very packed US Supreme Court to block a bunch of things.
I don't want this to happen, I want Bernie to win and be successful at implementing some of his plan, but … I'm cheery and happy that way.

I don't know how anybody can stand that stupid voice ,god .
I wonder if you could remain so calm and composed if you were debating Shapiro face to face. And if you disagree, have an open debate with him. I think you would be eviscerated sir.
It shows you how far right this country is. Bernie is actually close to a real centrist, far closer than most other Democrats that are running. Bernie actually isn't that ideologically driven so much as just a pragmatic realist, in my mind, and that's why he got my vote.
And again, that shows you why this country is so messed up. People are freaking out over a guy that is essentially a hair's left of being a moderate. And a libertarian moderate, at that.
I can tell you don’t have insurance
Everyone should be scared of a communist! In Venezuela the LEFT won and look how it went!!! THE NEW SOCIALISM OF THE XXI CENTURY they called it (that's how communism is disguised). And now communist countries like Russia and China have the biggest contracts in Oil and Mines owning almost every company that exploits natural resources in Venezuela, while millions hungry Venezuelans flee to other countries.
Socialists are stupid. Democratic socialists even more so.🤣
Because giving the government all of our money is the way to go right? That which the government giveth, the government can also take away. Have you ever read a history book? We aren't cattle.
20 minutes to explain Ben’s poor analogy to Bernie Sanders? You’re missing the point that Bernie supports socialism and the USSR was socialist. God damn.
So i saw one of your videos earlier that was posted like several months ago so i just had to ask.
Are you still a philosophi logic professor or are youa real one?
You know like math stuff logical gates truth tables and basic stuff like that. Without that you are a philosophi professor nota logic professor 🙂
Brainwashing in progress beware
This entire comment section likes Bernie it literally proves your intelligence is low. Come on people wake up Bernie is crazy
bernie is not wrong but he is not right either. it's very complicated. i wrote a very long essay to prove this – https://ian-crystal.blogspot.com/2019/06/politics-for-dummies.html
i'm a right wing libertarian. tell me if there is anything wrong with my arguments – https://ian-crystal.blogspot.com/2019/06/politics-for-dummies.html
“He’s [Bernie) against American History”- ben
you know, i wonder what’s wrong being against American history when we had:
1.) the trail of tears
2.) slavery
3.) civil war (the south)
4.) industrialism
5.)the great depression
6.) the vietnam war
7.) segregation
8.) oil extraction in the middle east
9.) bombing syria
10.) funding israel
to name a few. these are a part of American history we SHOULD be against lol
Yeah and Old Commie Bernie spritzing everyone with his Commie spittle dropped out. Now what little commies?
Meanwhile this host looks like he hasn’t had a bath or shave in quite a while.
Well I doubt comrade Bernie is going to be president anytime soon.
Video hasn’t aged well
