This is history you were never taught in American public "schools".

Well done...So rare to watch an interview where the person is allowed to speak freely

Thanks for letting your Guests speak without interruption. Very informative.

Professor, you ROCK. Every interview is a new eye opener. Keep on rocking in a free world. Free Palestine and Assange.

Prof Wolff is always amazing, he sums situations up so succinctly. Thank you for this.

I am an older adult. was brought up on all this anti-socialist propaganda. And all I have to say now is: "OMG, the freeing and elevating power of real history is incredible." So THAT is how it happened! And so many serpentine twistts. No wonder we are so messed up today. Thanks for this marvelous interview.

Dear Richard D. Wolff, You are one of the reasons that I am still a life in such a brutal life on our beautiful planet. Thank you Sir.

Every time prof. Wolff speak, I learn something new! 👍👍👍

“’Tis the time’s plague, When madmen lead the blind.” -Shakespeare.

I love prof Wolffe. You can see on his face he is truly worried about the state of the world. He has the solutions but they don’t listen to him.

Richard you're a great guy, I live in the UK, our politics in the uk is just a reflection of yours, and its terrible. Here's to you Richard with all your knowledge 🍻🍻👍👍

👏👏 Thank you again for the intellectual conversation..

The Professor is very informative. Thanks for sharing.

I knew professor Wolff is one of the best economists of our age but didn't know he was so informed politically. Bravo!!!

I love prof wolffs ability to acknowledge that we cannot truly “know” but still be able to intelligently dissect a complex subject

Professor Wolff absolutely nails it. He is one very clued in dude. Personally I would argue that socialism is in fact the default human condition. In times of war those who condemn socialism ironically turn to it. If gathering a body of soldiers tasked with defending and protecting the larger whole of a society is not basic socialism, what is it. What makes members of a society prepared to risk their own personal safety and well being in order to sustain the safety and well being of others?

Historians are the best source of information. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing 🇺🇸

Holly moly, your talk got better, best talk this year, watching from South Africa

Un grand pour merci pour cet entretien Mr Wolff est un grand monsieur , respect!

I always appreciate Professor Wolff's perspective, thank you.

Every word a GEM. Thank You for bringing Richard on, Blessings from New Zealand.

Professors Wolff annd Professor Sachs are two of the sanest commentators we have and I wish our warmongers in power would heed their advice!

I learn so much from your interviews than I do all day. I really look forward to you. Thank you

Why I no longer stand with Israel, and never will again An excerpt : The Gates of Gaza “The attackers came at dawn, quickly occupying the town. The men were separated from the women and shot. One of the attackers, opening the door of one of the homes, found an old man standing there. He shot him. ‘He enjoyed shooting him,’ an eyewitness to the attack said afterwards. Soon the town was empty-the entire population of 5,000 had either been killed or expelled, those who survived put on trucks, and driven to Gaza. The empty homes were looted. ‘We were very happy,’ one of the participants said afterwards. ‘If you don’t take it, someone else will. You don’t feel you have to give it back. They were not coming back.’” It sounds like a narrative torn from the front pages of today’s newspapers, one of many such stories-too many to count-describing the atrocities inflicted on the civilian populations of Israeli towns and Kibbutzes adjacent to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. But it is not. Instead, it is the recollections of Yaakov Sharett, the son of Moshe Sharett, one of the fathers of Israel, a signatory to Israel’s Declaration of Independence, and Israel’s first Foreign Minister, and second Prime Minister. Yaakov Sharett was recounting the seizure of the Arab town of Bersheeba, in 1948, by Israeli soldiers, during Israel’s War of Independence. As a young soldier serving in the Negev Desert in 1946, Sharett was appointed mukhtar-or chief-of one of eleven teams of soldiers-part of the secret “11-Points Plan” designed to establish Jewish outposts in the Negev Desert that would serve as a strategic foothold in the region when the anticipated war between Israeli Zionists and Arabs broke out. --------------- The Arabs of Abu Yahiya provided Yaakov and his fellow Zionists with fresh water and would often guard the property of the Kibbutz while the men were away on work. There was an understanding between the leaders of Abu Yahia and the Hatzerim Kibbutz that they would be allowed to remain once Israel took control of the Negev. Instead, when war came, the Kibbutzniks from Hatzerim turned on their Arab neighbors, killing them and driving the survivors away from their homes forever. -------------- The slaughter and physical eradication of the village of Abu Yahiya, the town of Bersheeba, and the 245 other Arab towns and villages in the Negev by Israeli settlers and soldiers has gone down in history as the Nakba, or “Catastrophe.” The Palestinians, when speaking of the Nakba, do not only address the events of 1948, but everything that has transpired since then in the name of the post-1948 sustainment, expansion, and defense of Zionism that defines modern-day Israel. Israelis do not talk about the Nakba, instead referring to the events of 1948 as their “War of Independence.” Most of the survivors ended up living in Gaza!

What a great presentation in all respects. I was completely taken by surprise when I watched that a KZfaq (interview, if you will) was conducted without a single interruption of the speaker; so unusutal and refreshing to hear a speaker able to develope his presentation in an articulate, uninterrupted stream of thought. I am a true believer of Dr. Woffe's philosophies. In 1978 I was prepared to immigrate to Norway as I had had it with our system but I had acquired a wife and two small children and my wife was much more attached to her family here than I was and she won the contest.

Wow... thank you so much for a wonderfully enlightening lesson on American history.. fantastic

I am always pleased to hear professor Wolfe . He speaks about economics very well in a way that anyone can understand. In my country the academics speaks mostly for their pairs only .

Yes, all the professors who discussed socialism at the University of Vt in the 60s were denied tenure, the most notable one being Michael Parenti whose friendly relations with Bernie Sanders floundered on the latter’s support for the bombing of Serbia. The University just today cancelled a lecture scheduled to be delivered by a Palestinian poet by the Will Miller ( a perpetual socialist adjunct professor) memorial committee. 30:49

An important point to note about the unemployment figures of the 1930s is that about 40% were either unemployed or underemployed. My grandfather sometimes worked once every two weeks and was not considered unemployed. He was underemployed. My father ran away from home in the 30s when he was 16 and joined the CCC in order to send money to his parents. Thanks for this post.

Brilliant as always, very sad reality of celebrated stupidity

My sincere respect to you sir. Today you shined light to darkest part of our mind.

Thanks a lot for inviting to your program the Professor Mr. Richard D. Wolf, an epiphany

Your most powerful lecture yet. Thanks

Professor Wolff is fantastic at explaining history. To thinkProf Wolff and Yellen came from the same class at university is astounding. One learned everything. The other learned how to get rich.

I basically mentioned to a millionaire about Roosevelt's new deal, and he actually swore at me (and this is here in Australia). It even got worse when I told him that I was off to China to teach. Ignorance is certainly the right word.

I've followed many of your programs (many hours of traffic jam every week) and this one with Dr Wolff is the most interesting, but all the others were very interesting too! Thanks a lot for showing us there is an alternative to the westerners mass media.

Great break-down of the democratic and republican party history by the guest.👌

Amazing how much we were never taught about both U.S. history and international history in school in the United States! Professor Wolff has definitely enlightened us about many aspects of economics in the U.S. and the world, that was never taught in public schools, and in many cases not even at the University level! I find that absolutely astounding , but not necessarily all that surprising! Utterly dumbfounding how ignorant most in America are kept, on so many critically important topics! That fact can’t be explained away by coincidence! It was refreshing to hear the truth about the many topics, Professor Wolff covered in this podcast! He has quite a broad based depth of understanding about the underlying factors that are responsible for the colossal economic mess the U.S. and much of the world finds itself in today! Thank you for inviting him on as a returning guest. His interviews are always highly informative, and give us insights into aspects of economics we would not have access to anywhere else!!! You are doing a terrific job, please keep up the good work!

Yes in the 30s as a child my father suffered from ‘miasma’, temporary paralysis due to chronic malnutrition 11:12

History tells us that Empires never relinquish their hold on power without one final battle before the Empire's downfall. The Empire never lives in reality but on the lies of an alternative reality.

I have learned so much from professor Wolff. 😊

Explained beautifully, vividly, ignorance of, and not to embarrass... real conditions are factors that weighs in the real world., great dialogue from professor Richard Wolff

Thank you Dialogue Works for a, as usual, great presentation of Professor Wolff.

This is brilliant!… Obrigado

Lived the historical references Dr Wolff. Only you can give the historical context to tie together the narrative from something as simple as the blacklists to why Paul Robeson banishment. Thank you very much

Prof Wolff 😃 What a legend. Absolutely love the man. Few American economists have made a successful career by openly declaring their admiration for socialism and Marxism, but Professor Wolff has been doing so for decades. That alone warrants him a tremendous debt of respect.

Brilliant education!

Fantastic interview. This vid is going into my favorites file.

Prof Wolff is such a wise and knowledgeable guy. You can always rely on his economic & world politic insight.

Parabéns Dialogue Works ! Ótimo trabalho . I am a Russian who lives in Brazil and you are One of the Best sources of Information in our beautiful country I must say. ❤

Just to add to the wonderful brief that professor Wolff made, the jobs created by Mr. Roosevelt (and his economist John Maynard Keynes) and the money spent by the govenment, didn't go to the Industrial Military Complex, like today, that money went into the building of civilian infrastructure: Highways, the hoover Dam, the Falcon Dam, railroads, shipyards, hospitals, etc. Have you traveled by car lately? have you seen the state in which roads are today? Why does the US is the only developed country that doesn't have high speed passenger trains?

Mr Richard Wolff always provides insight in an unbiased objective fashion 👍☮️💞

My grandfather, as a librarian at Harvard, used to have conversations with Santayana -- "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

the Palestinian people have been oppressed for 75 years..according to u.n. resolution 242. Israels occupation of the Palestinian territories is illegal under international law..yet that very law has been totally ignored by Israel and their vassal partners in crime..the occupation and the wests ignoring of that resolution is what has brought about the resistance..people can only take so much before desperate measures have to be taken..u.n resolution 242 must be adhered too or there will never be peace and security for Israel. a free Palestinian state is the only option or the world will burn..be well

What a great account about the psyche of America. We can't possibly study this question enough to confront the dishonesty and ignorance that has caused so much harm and suffering

Great interview with Richard Wolff!!!

I feel so much more informed listening to the eloquence and intelligence of Professor Wolff. So much respect for this amazing man!

Great guest

His knowledge is just amazing. Salute professor.

Great interview! Professor Wolfe is obviously very knowledgeable

This the best podcast I have ever listened to on You Tube or anywhere else for that matter.. Glad I have made acquaintance with Ricard D Wolfe and his brillant mind. He his the only one who has given a valid explanation why people vote for TRUMP. Its sad but it is what it is. I will be following you closely Prof Wolfe. Thank you for the presentation.

Dr Wolff good point!

All I had to do was look at the title of this video discussion- Proudly Ignorant- to know that Professor Wolfe is talking about the US. The description fits perfectly.

Congratulations for 50k

God bless Richard D Wolff......If there is a will, there is a way ....

Thanks guys i learned alot

I need to learn directly from Prof Wolff.

Lovely talk, thanks

Only one lesson here: never let Richard Wolff corner you at a party. He speaks here for, like, 30 uninterrupted minutes on a topic that has nothing to do with anything the host cares about. (And never mind that the host probably already knew everything that Wolff said. Wolff never bothers to find out)

Great piece. Willfully Ignorant is the base. You have a new nasty level with being Proudly Ignorant.

This guy is very clearly a man of vastly superior intellect. He may very well represent the next step in human evolution !!!!

This gives me so much needed clarity ✨️ thank you

The irony is that the USSR was never a communist country. Socialist yes, but they never managed to build communism there. This was the final goal which they couldn't achieve.🤔

Thanks!

Love the name of the video proudly ignorant, it perfectly describe those who are content not to seeing the chaos

This is one of your best videos, @dialogueworks! Bravo!

Tell it like it is. There are too few honest voices in this world.

Always appreciate Prof. Wolff's takes on things. Disagree with his take on the beneficence of the USSR (read too much Solzhenitsyn) but every time I hear him I learn something new.

Thank you for this enlightening speech. It is like a geopolitical University lecture. Fabulous

thank you Dr Wolff for mentioning Dr West

I always love hearing from Professor Wolfe. You know you are making good points when the comments section is full of bleating sheep.

Thanks

As long as one side refuses to negotiate there is no political solution, this is a definitive reality; To expect a peaceful resolution under these circumstances is insanity as Einstein would put it The Ukraine backed by the US insisted on war, Israel in the same way insists on war; These are not diplomatic failures, they are warmongering Peace is easy, it takes great effort to make war but it is a lucrative endeavor for the wicked

Far right is usually a phrase people use when they refuse to debate.

Proudly Ignorant. Thanks a lot, Prof. For this very insightful analysis. Thank you.

Talk after talk justifies Ignorance. One swift act of grace proves Wisdom.

Trending 2 -PaulTeich-©️10/31/2023 When random acts of kindness are trending through the land When kind becomes the magic word And the thing we do is lend a hand We won’t worship a bird of prey, but one of peace and love When kindness is trending, instead of snuggies and skittles Everyone will have homes No one will be starving for vittles There will be full bellies at dinner tables instead of bombs If our minds move in the direction of our most dominant thought Peace, love and kindness is, perhaps what we ought Steering away from bread and circuses Rather to help the needy with health and human services Brothers and sisters we are all one Separation is painful from the real and the unicorn And it is surely not as much fun As to live in a democracy, not in need of agrarian reform The trend today it’s for the rich not to share Poor people are not vulgar we need to learn to care Paul Teich. “The Poet”. 2023 Love you Richard

Thank you for a most informative history lesson. Excellent.

True, Professor Wolff IS "proudly ignorant"... An excellent filibuster...total economic and historical ignorance completely unchallenged. Applauded by those even more ignorant.

The weird part is how many poor and hourly paid people still think socialism is a bad word, it helped people exactly like them in the 1930s but communism.....

Wow, I just learned a lot about the history of Communism in America.

We need more of Prof. Wolff.

A masterclass in American History.

What an amazing prof.Congratulation!

Shalom Dr. Wolff Did I hear you correct with this, 'No President has ever written a book worth reading?' If I heard that correctly, sad but funny!

The truth will set you free the truth is revolutionary...

Tks. much.
