the biggest opponents to limitless capitalism are people raising actual problems with numbers and facts, not intellectuals saying that it unfairly uplifts commoners out of their lowly status. americans dont even have a history of nobility to draw from. what kind of fukkboy shyt is this?

You either build or destroy.
My opinion on the video is he made some "interesting" viewpoints and I'll address some of them:
1. Intellectuals have always been the aristocrats. If any one has any solid proof of this, I'd REALLY love to see it.
2. If we had a true free market society then it would rightfully determine wages. As a couple of posters in here have already mentioned, one of the strengths in capitalism is it's inherent selfishness, which supposedly, is inherent in all human beings. The problem is that in glorifying one facet of this system, you also reveal it's eternal downfall. Any system that glorifies selfishness will eventually lead to any person, corporation, etc., to bulldoze any restraints that prevent them from maximizing their success, read profit. So, if we had no government constraints, these corporations would give the least amount of wages possible in order to maximize their profits, because as we have already established, self interest is the game, right?

1. Are you aware of the student debt crisis? Do you know how much it costs to go to University? How many poverty stricken professors have you heard of? Education has historically been a luxury afforded to the elite, because peasants had to worry about putting food in their mouthes as opposed to the learning the latest philosophical treatise. Most intellectuals throughout history have come from the aristocracy. It was in fact the gains capitalism brought our society that allowed the average person to be freed from the constraints of basic necessities and pursue education.My opinion on the video is he made some "interesting" viewpoints and I'll address some of them:

2. Ok let's look at your hypothetical free market society. Corporation A is paying their workers the least amount of wages possible in order to maximize profits. I look at Industry A and think "
this is a profitable industry. I think i'll enter it, offer a wage slightly higher than Corporation A, get their best workers, and build a better Product A, thus increasing my market share and raising profits." Corporation A obviously isn't going down with a fight, so they try to entice their workers by stay on by upping their compensation. Thus we have the bidding war , necessarily raising the wages of workers in Industry A. A competitive free marketplace is beneficial for the consumers, who get a better product, and the workers, whose get competitive wages. And it is my greed that drives me to offer the best workers a higher wage and give the public a better product. Government constraints are needed to protect the public from my greed becoming criminal (hiding the ingredients in my product, threatening workers to dissuade them from leaving, forming cartels to force out competitors, etc). But as long as I have a discerning, informed populace and a well regulated marketplace, a self-interested producer is a boon to a productive and progressive society.
