    I once possessed Velli's (fredy perlman)  manual for revolutionary leaders…a book made up from quotes. It was difficult guessing the sources. https://libcom.org/library/michael-velli-manual-revolutionary-leaders-second-edition-including-sources-m-vellis-tho

    CGP Grey is great.  I totally agree with what he says, usually because I thought of it first before seeing it on CGP Grey.  CGP Grey presentations are always good for supporting what I think and they're well polished and concise which I am not.  Occaisionallly, they inform me of something I didn't know, which is always nice for me. I just wish CGP Grey would look closely at a time value exchange economy with hard coded rules about time exchanges and consider what rules need to be involate to create a different scenario.  I think time value exchange works a little different that capital value exchange.  Alternatively, what would CGP Grey, the creator of the video you posted, think about how things would work out if some benevelent inventor of the exchange system for time value exchange had complete autocratic authority over who can exchange what in time value economy.  This exchange dictator would perhaps have more power than the politiical dictator.    Finally I'd ask CGP Grey to opinion on the theory that with digitial blockchain currencies, the exchanges allows or prohitbited can be programed into the currency and can't be changed later by any political or economic dictator.  And if he can confirm digital blockchain currency technology alows creating an exchange that is stronger than a dictator and therefore safe from capture or manipulation by a political dictator.  Could an economic time value exchange dictator write a set of rules into the money exchange system that prevented a dictator from ever accumulating power as in CGP Grey's video you linked to?  Could an economic time value exchange dictator write rules of using the money, like "not allowed for use by dictators" that would be enforced electronically and digitally?  And could a benevelont economic dictator at the time of making the coin build into it a way to put all the power in the distributed hands of the people, in such a way that it would be very hard or impossible to remove the power to set exchange rules held by the public?  Obviously, I think think the answer to all these questions is yes.  Most people think the answer to my questions is "Maybe" it's never been tried, so who knows.   Some people just say "it's not socialism" and don't think much further about it.
