In this episode I talk with my Law school colleague, Nima Ghafari. Nima is working on a software project currently, but was able to take some time to discuss with me some of his issues with socialism. Now Nima is no standard capitalist, but rather considers himself a Democratic Socialist (like Bernie or Ocasio-Cortez) but has some serious issues with the more nitty-gritty details of socialism and communism.

I appreciate his outlook. It seems the biggest hurdle for him on Marxism is his impression that selfish gain is the best motivator for human movement, that reflects poorly on his opinion of humanity. Great conversation though! Your episodes are always very educational, but this is particularly useful for those of us who often have these types of conversations.
Thanks Kevin!
