Description from Video:
On February, April 19, 2019, I debated Marxist philosopher Slavoj Zizek in Toronto, April 19 at the Sony Centre. I started with a critique of The Communist Manifesto, which is the central revolutionary document of the Marxist movement.
Dr. Zizek is a Slovenian philosopher and professor at the Institute for Sociology and Philosophy at the University of Ljubljana, whose works on cultural studies, psychoanalysis, and, above all, for the purposes of our debate, Marxism, are world-renowned. The topic? Happiness: Marxism vs Capitalism.
A good article, I think, on Zizek: LINK

Peterson does an excellent job of identifying the logical flaws contained in Marx's ideology and in the "Manifesto."

If Marx was alive today he wouldn’t be a Marxist...
Only a fool can’t see communism doesn’t work - - “Not in a house, not with a mouse Not here or there, not anywhere”... doesn’t work anywhere...
Typically fine (and insightful) job by Peterson - my favorite part occurs shortly after the 9 minute mark, when having made a particular point about economic leaders rising to power under capitalism he gets laughed at by a couple of pinhead hecklers in attendance - who he then, after a few seconds of reflection, smoothly puts down, much to the delight of the majority present.
Hail Lobster!
I told my personal physician about Peterson’s lobster/serotonin comments and she found it fascinating. I haven’t spoken with her since, but she said she was going to check Peterson out.
