A Marxist critique of Roosh V

I would say that Denmark would be a better poon paradise if the worst excesses of both socialism and capitalism were engineered into being. This seems to be what historically (for First World countries at least) correlates with sluttier women.
Unrestrained welfarism to take its toll on the currency and bring about the "We owe the debt to ourselves" status quo - which really means "This is a debt one predacious generation owes to another," or "One socio-economic group owes to another". A collective sense of fatalism knowing your liberties are inevitably going to wither away as the state tightens the reins. There's no incentive to build something lasting in a family when you know a fictitious prosperity must vanish one day and you are to bear the cost.
Simply saying: This -> looser women.
Unrestrained capitalism, specifically the consumerism that drives it, engenders materialism and and a kind of baser nature in both sexes, and especially the women. This would introduce a cultural degenerative force that would change what Roosh observed - the generic, nice but confident approach being ideal.
Regarding wealth inequality, I don't think it's a big factor in the player's ambitions. There's a natural level of wealth inequality simply because greater risk taken by entrepreneurs who later become the executives of the companies they found merits greater reward. Then there's an artificial level where the corporatocracy uses the government apparatus to win benefits for itself.
The girl I'm currently with and those who I would have a chance with are all in the same kind of boat financially. I imagine it's generally true for most guys.
So:
1. Expand the welfare state beyond the apparently sustainable level it is now, relax border and immigration controls to break up the ethnic and cultural homogeneity. If radical feminism isn't prominent in Denmark, start concentrating power in its hands, install socialist teachers in education, etc. Start new entitlement programs and calibrate their timing so that changing demographics and dysgenics will lead to crisis. Start intra-government borrowing from these trust funds and create trillions in unfunded liabilities after you're sure reform is politically impossible. Standard cultural marxism.
2. In 1950s America, capitalism thrived and yet the culture wasn't deformed - but what was the message? The vision of becoming financially independent and enjoying your earnings, or building your savings to buy the white picket fence and house to raise a family without government support - few would call this degenerate. So change the message: step up the fashion and glamour advertisements, encourage participation in the attention-whoring social media. This too leads to sluttier women.
I don't think it'll happen. In aggregate, the Danes seem to be fundamentally smarter than the Americans. They are socialist but - and this is key - they understand the cost of welfarism. As evidenced by the onerous VAT and other taxes, they accept the price UPFRONT. This is what allows their political class to be more honest, and less corrupt. They can run for reelection safely by hiking these taxes, and don't have to buy off their constituents through backdoor borrowing.
This is in stark contrast to the United States.
Edit: Okay, taking a closer look, Denmark does not seem to be the great model of sustainable socialism - maybe it is destined to be an oxymoron - it first appeared to be. Despite their admirable willingness to pay the highest tax obligation in the world, much of their economic rosiness was based on a housing bubble and their banks' assets were tranched in the toxic assets brewing in the mortgage market in the U.S. That burst, Danish property values fell, and as they were cut off from their home equity, their average household debt accordingly rose, also to the highest in the world. Their 2013 and future deficit projections have been revised upward, .
Their central bankers at the Danmarks Nationalbank are also Keynesian/monetarist, so their recovery, which is according to Reuters the weakest in the Nordic region, even below Sweden's, is based on interest rates cuts to fuel the reinflation of burst asset bubbles. The deposit rate at Danish banks are -0.2%. The foreign investors placing their money there who are actually losing money due to the NOMINAL interest, nevermind inflation are only willing since the kroner is one of the few viable alternatives to the euro, so they are also supported by the fact that the EU is so fucked. That's the only way their financial sector can get away with not paying out interest, and instead profit.
This is always the case. There seems to be an example of a socialist success story, like the Scandinavian countries like Denmark. Its debt-to-GDP was at a 27.5% low in 2008 (which isn't that wonderful in the first place), but again that was based on the housing boom so the apparent affordability of their programs, and the size of the public sector, was all untenable.
Instead of allowing the market to clear or rollback on government employees- or ANYTHING - it responded by devaluing the kroner. Its debt-to-GDP went up to 33.% in 2009, 41% in 2010, 42.9% in 2011, and 46.6% in 2012, and is projected to rise higher. They have still have room if you use the US and Japan as a barometer for and you backsolve to account for the difference in the sizes of the economies, but they're on the same trajectory of propping everything up by moneyprinting. And if you think that can go on forever, 2008 would never have happened, and no country will have ever defaulted in history.
Again, Denmark is one of the best of the socialist countries owing to their citizens being educated enough to know the cost. I'm reading leftists praising Denmark to the heavens and I actually buy into it, thinking "Wow, these guys are smart." Yet they pay enough taxes to make Democrats blush, and they still overshot.
I wouldn't be opposed to socialism if we spent within our means, what we raised in revenues. But that has never happened even once anywhere in the world.
A 'sustainably socialist' society is a mirage. Not to mention they have a minimal military expenditure which they enjoy due to us.
