You admire this guy Robert as a man who knows how to be successful under capitalism yet you also are comfortable that the only success he has had is baiting people like you into thinking that he is indeed successful.
Thinking that the economy flourished under Trump is sycophantic nonsense. He cut corporate tax rates to incredibly low levels and ordered the fed to cut interest rates despite the already out of control stock market, so of course indexes like the Fortune 500 skyrocketed. Not an indication of the real economy in any way or how the labor class is actually doing, but an indicator of growing CEO wealth and growing inequality
If partnering with Trump isn't enough of a red flag, Robert has plenty of failed businesses on his record to prove how useless his mind is
Anyway, why are you so reflexively critical of the labor theory of value? Capitalism is leading to the overproduction of goods and the destruction of the environment, so why is that any better than considering a form of socialism?
It wouldn't be much of a stretch to say that the original commenter was trying to associate Putin's actions with those of North Korea and therefore the Soviet Union.
