I think what he proposes would make certain things better, but it would still be just a patch to a broken system.
Don’t think he should be ignored, but I also don’t think he is this saviour he thinks he is.

Not sure recommending a flatpak installation is the best thing to someone kinda new.
The left fails for many things but mainly because the media works with the elites and blame, create fake news, and dictate what the public think, want and feel.
Using the system around him and ultimately exploiting people, even if he advocates for good will, it is a choice, and something he can change. That’s what I’m blaming him for.
To me, what he wants is maintaining capitalism but just a little less biased in how wealth is shared. To me that is not real left. It does not address the many problems of capitalism.
Now he says he’s the only person on the left who really understands the British economy – and the people who wield the power
Humble, huh?
Stevenson still makes a lot of money trading, which he does “to demonstrate to myself that I’m not insane. A lot of people can say pessimistic things, but not a lot of them can make hundreds of thousands of pounds every year on financial markets. I don’t just say these things; I bet on them. And I make money every year. You can’t do that if you’re not right. If you made every economist who chats shit on the media bet their own personal money on what they’re saying, there’d be a lot less bullshit on the news.”
If he makes money off properties, gold and stocks without realising that that affects the housing crisis, the environment with gold mining, or there’s no ethical approach to what kind of companies he gets stocks from… He is still part of the problem. I don’t care how much he says he’s on the left.
Yes. Not only from Twitter, though. Spotify gave money to Trump’s inauguration. So did Google, and Amazon.
I love how in the US they talk about meritocracy, competition being good, blablabla… but they rig the game from the beginning. And even so, people find a way to be better. Fascinating.
