The Young Turks are capitalists. They know next to nothing about left wing political philosophy.


Yes, they do support capitalism to a certain degree.

Here's the thing. They are usually right. Nobody is always right.

Plus, I've never seen them lash out at the far-left. Clearly, they don't mind us.
