John Oliver demolishes the Ayn Rand conservative BS about selfishness being good
[dropcap]J[/dropcap]ohn Oliver, an alum of Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show school of political satire, but consistently far more “left” in his establishment critiques (he’s technically a left liberal) has already compiled a large and impressive inventory of left critiques of the many flaws and crimes in American capitalism. This one is typical. Keep in mind, though, that, as a mainstream liberal Oliver, while implicitly suggesting that capitalism is a failed system, does not dare—or can ill afford—a frontal confrontation with the system’s managers. That would be career suicide, and he knows it. —PG
