If you watch the video, he discusses how Capitalism has moved away from the traditional definition as private ownership is stripped away from everyone participating in Capitalism.
Yes, ownership is stripped away from us, and transferred to the ever-shrinking circle of rent-seeking monopoly capitalists.
This thread is a perfect example of why Marxist keep trying to get people to read a book for once in their lives. All these things people are "discovering" right now about the nature of capitalism have been well understood for like a whole century now.
The benefit of articles is that OP's argument is evaluated independently, instead of alongside everything else in the book. If you stop reading at the first part that seems wrong, you won't read the other ideas.
My complaint is regarding the argument being presented as something that's just been discovered while it's something that's been well understood for around a century now. It's perfectly fine for people to make their own independent analysis, but it's important to frame it in the context of what's already known.
What I'm saying here is that content producers should spend more time educating themselves on the subjects they purport to educate others on.
