Ask yourselves why big business doesn’t need "a movement" to get legislation passed, but for "we the people" politicians tell us we need to "build a movement" just to get our basic needs met?

I really appreciate this thoughtful post. I am beyond sick of the repetitive lack of meaningful insight I see pass for "knowledge".

"The narrative that ‘the CIA simply paid them off’ is a very reductive misrepresentation of Rockhill’s analysis."

“I’ve come to realize that business schools don’t just reflect our economic system — they actively manufacture its priorities and normalize its harms, training the future leaders who will design and defend the structures driving our overlapping global crises. Tinkering at the margins with a class on corporate responsibility or ethics is not going to help. We don’t need to “fix” business schools. We need to abolish them.”

@JimNickola @SenSanders What about this?

[Nick W @Hattusilis_III]

@mmt_action Why do people keep misrepresenting MMT as "printing money forever" when this is explicitly rejected.

A Green New Deal... Anti-fascist economics... all Great reforms that have ZERO electoral pathway to achieving. When folks begin addressing that, I will be more inclined to get excited.

This is our 19th episode featuring Fadhel Kaboub , so who better to bring back for our 400th? He joins Steve to explore whether the countries of the Global South can industrialize on their own terms now that the old order of debt conditionality, export dependence, and fragmented production is breaking apart? Fadhel walks us through the report, One Voice, One Strategy: A Continental Blueprint for African Strategic Minerals, Joint Industrial Policies, and Diplomacy, published by South Africa Resource Watch.

Fadhel begins with the moment itself, a structural rupture in the global economic order that opens a short window for the Global South to reposition. He explains why the usual development model of borrowing, exporting and courting foreign investment keeps countries at the bottom of global value chains, and why scale matters. From there he sketches a different way to finance transformation, built on cooperation across borders instead of debt. He also takes on the idea that working together costs a nation its sovereignty, tracing it to the neocolonial politics that followed independence and the fate of Kwame Nkrumah’s vision of a united Africa. Along the way, MMT’s understanding of currency-issuing governments is used to challenge the myth that Africa is simply short of money.

Steve presses on the hard questions. How does a bloc avoid building a new hierarchy of its own? Fadhel says ownership, profit and wage shares, labor protections, land rights, and environmental safeguards must be pre-negotiated, with trade unions and frontline communities at the table from day one. Majority ownership stays with governments, and profits flow into a joint sovereign wealth fund that evens out inequities between members. Along the way he traces how the African Union’s emphasis on national sovereignty undercut Nkrumah’s vision of a united Africa.

Then comes the question of blowback, from sanctions and false narratives to assassinations and invasions. Fadhel answers with broad public ownership of the vision, guaranteed food, fuel, and medical supply lines for vulnerable members, and a collective security pact with a BRICS bloc that includes China, a counterweight to NATO that does not exist today.

This is a conversation about what solidarity looks like at the scale of a continent, and why a plan has to be designed around working people from the start. It is a positive vision for an exhausted generation.

MMT explains money in a fiat system for sovereign countries that issue their own currency. The explanation backed by BofE. That’s it.

[MMTAction @mmt_action]

"So we can just print money forever?" No. One film that explains the real limit, properly.

Watch free.

For whoever needs to hear this: talking about West Minster, Holyrood, Congress, this candidate, that candidate, is not MMT. It is politics. MMT is how money works. Where it starts. How it is accepted. How it clears payments. It is forensic accounting at the macro level. All of those institutions frequently conflated with MMT are capitalist. However MMT is not capitalist, but apparently many of the folks advancing MMT are. But it doesn't have to be that way.

#Capitalists have class consciousness. They built it as the #revolutionary class against feudalism, and they wage #ClassStruggle every day.
