TLDR: Hank Green independently discovers "Techno-Feudalism" and says he has not heard anyone else talking about this. Get Yanis Varoufakis on the phone with this liberal NOW!

To be fair to Hank, he says "progressive billionaires" sarcastically, with scare quotes. But to be unfair to Hank, if you are asking billionaires to explain the economy to you, then you are just asking to be lied to. It's like asking Bernie Madoff how index funds work.

There's this guy Charles Ponzi who was telling me about a great investment opportunity.

There's literally one and it was a guy interviewed on Yasha Levine's podcast and he was maybe just a millionaire? I can't remember, but he was born into wealth and hates his family and stuff. I think they put him into rehab and boarding schools and stuff. He was still some kind of Trotskyist/ultra if I recall though.

Edit: I can't find it. He did it anonymously I remember so maybe he deleted it from the internet later.

Yeah, I think so. Searched and searched but couldn't find it until you mentioned the name.

Yeah, I thought it'd be him. He's a character to say the least. I don't know if he still runs that since I read he moved to Tunisia, but he had a group called the ''Berkshire Communists'', with a community gym and shit like that.
