He’s always been a “pro elite” kind of guy, that a better society can happen if someone with a better vision is just given free range to build it, but a paranoid public, created by a sensationalist media, prevents that from happening.

I think he has a lot of interesting ideas, but he comes across as just this blackpilled Socialist guy. Someone who really believed that the communist utopia would eventually be created by the USSR or European Socialist and when both of those failed, he just accepted that fact instead of going into denial or thinking it will come back but also thinking that capitalism has no future either. He just thinks we are circling the drain now.
