Capitalism is NOT a Magic Word (pt. 1)

Ben Burgis returns in order to give the reactionary youtuber “The Distributist” an argument. Specifically, Ben contends that the word “capitalism” is not magical, that the idea that there are “magic words” that shut down thought because they’re inadequately defined is dubious given how difficult philosophers have found the task of adequately defining simple words such as “table” or “chair” to be, and moves on from there to discuss the continuum fallacy.
This is part one of a two-part video series. The second half of this video will be coming soon.

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.
