Sadly, we have a problem the American people won't wrestle with. Drunk off of voting, they haven't really grappled with the tools of austerity and why they exist.

Every person should live a life of dignity and an economics that supports all of society according from each of our abilities to each according to our needs... just don't ask how to get there.

Every single college loan should be written off as they have not done ANYTHING to protect workers and have created the conditions of completely unrepayable debts. Wicked scum will say "pay your debts!" But in reality, the schools are all paid. They already received their money. It is the currency issuing government and their ghouls that collect and "service" the loan payments... they created an industry of loan servicing for the currency issuing federal government. Think about that.

The stupidest, most illiterate fucks think forgiving all student loans are paid by tax payers. God I hate dumb assed people. The government is the fucking money printer. Every college has been paid. The government doesn't need their money to spend. You fucks. You selfish idiots.

The policy space faces a "fatal challenge" avoiding the parliamentarian or the rotating villain
Heterodox economics faces a “fatal challenge”, according to @jasonfurman.
The reality, as James K. Galbraith explains, is that “mainstream” neoliberal economics is profoundly insecure and no longer has a core that’s holding it together.
Both are political because economics always is. The question is whose side are you on. Anti-fascist Economics serves common people.
It “presents concrete proposals for ensuring an affordable, tolerable, sustainable economic life—the popular demand in Europe and in America that will shape our politics in the foreseeable future.”

The national debt is a nothing burger. And saying other things have to be cut to accomplish student loan debt forgiveness is fundamentally not understanding how currency-issuing govts function. I would have no prob with ppl who already paid getting refunded either.

If the corrupt, Zionist Democratic party goes with the wildly unpopular Schumer and Jeffries, and if Vance does indeed become the leader of the GOP, the Democrats will have won an election essentially due to anti-Zionism, only to become the more overtly Zionist party.

#GDP of #China is 2nd largest, but it is shared among 1/5th of humanity. Amy Yang explains why a developing #socialist state primarily designs its foreign policy to benefit its own people.

“China is not your activist” means #China is a state serving its people’s material interests, not a moral savior. That’s what #Marxist Leninists SHOULD expect. States don’t act from sentimental morality, but to advance ruling-class interests - in China’s case, the #WorkingClass

Too many Western #leftists act like #socialism is an on/off switch, ignoring relentless #imperialist & counterrevolutionary pressures. And from the comfort of the imperial core, they delegitimize actually existing socialist state over every contradiction or moral failure. Absurd

NEW EP!! 🇨🇳
Grading China's foreign policy from inside the imperial core is easy. Amy Yang asks the harder question: what do we owe? She and @sdgrumbine cover Soviet lessons, BRICS vs the IMF, and rearguard organizing.
