Her voice and intonation would make her a great storyteller! Entrancing!

Capitalism does not equal choice, neither does communism. You should explore anarchism.

Brilliant. What amazes me most is... More than all the Republicans on this planet... slowly but surely she also succeeds in her presentation in very gently outlining the potential fallacies of communism where all surrender all their rights to choose to "central planners", and the eventual beauty of capitalism where it's up to us, up to we the people, and how badly we work out and beef up our capacity to choose, which determines the real direction our society will ultimately head for...
