Time to Abolish the Supreme Court? Why “Private Property” Should Not Be Supreme

Brian Becker and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss the Supreme  Court ruling overturning the federal eviction moratorium and putting 11  million people at risk of being thrown onto the streets in the middle  of a pandemic. The rationale used by the court to issue this cruel edict  is the essence of capitalism -- protect property owners’ “right to  exclude” at all costs. Richard Wolff is the co-founder of the  organization Democracy at Work and the author of many books, the latest  being “The Sickness is the System: When Capitalism Fails to Save Us from  Pandemics or Itself”.
