Click translate on this. I promise you won't be disappointed.

@Matt72423 There's a reference to another country in the part about crushing the rebellious Scots.

When we understand the full scope of austerity, we see it not as an event, like the removal of winter fuel allowances, but as a system structured to ensure a continuation of wealth passing to the already wealthy and more punishment for the society's most marginalised. 8/9

Of course, the answer is clear. Bourgeois liberal democracy is one trench in a complex of defensive positions facing the working class. Governments in the imperial core are only electable if they carry out the orders of state monopoly finance capitalism. And its hegemon the USA.

@AngryatMayfair @PoliteRevo3255 @RichardJMurphy The problem with people like you is you don't read the core literature before pontificating.

I suggest you fuck off.

[Fencepost @fencepostgod]

@AngryatMayfair @PoliteRevo3255 @RichardJMurphy I assure you my friend, those things you mentioned do not appear anywhere in the core literature. You are confusing MMT and the MMT "lens" yet again.

I've no interest in any MMT conference thanks anyway.

Happy to help any time 👍

@FarlaneTeri @wales_steve @FromSteveHowell From proscribing financing via CB to the SGP/EDP, it's a neoliberal, anti democratic dream.

We already have one level of neoliberalism, we don't need another on top.

@Davejones0305 @delhi_dave You'd never know, would you?

[Fencepost @fencepostgod]

@delhi_dave @Davejones0305 I'm too cynical these days, maybe.

[Fencepost @fencepostgod]

@litewhisperer 😂😂😂

[Fencepost @fencepostgod]

@delhi_dave @Davejones0305 Then what? Genuine question.

[Fencepost @fencepostgod]

@Davejones0305 He's all over the shop isn't he.

I commented that his video wasn't about MMT but RM(Richard Murphy)MT as he doesn't think the JG is an integral part of MMT.

He came back and said he was allowed to think for himself 🤷

[Fencepost @fencepostgod]

@AngryatMayfair @PoliteRevo3255 @RichardJMurphy It's not a "levelling tool" of any kind, you are conflating MMT and the MMT "lens" again.

I've familiar with the core literature and have never come across "the part about taxation, equality and antisocial behaviour", maybe I've missed it?

@dave161256 @RichardJMurphy MMT has two connected policy recommendations; zirp and JG.

Without the JG, it's not MMT.

@Davejones0305 @ASMcEwan Yeah, it's all about political choice.

When you look at what's actually going on it's easy to think "fuck it, there's nothing we can do"; I often think that.

[Fencepost @fencepostgod]

@Davejones0305 @ASMcEwan I lost interest. I thought once you understand the basics of the system the rest was a bit like the "ins and outs of a ducks arse". 🤷

I'm much more interested in the politics.
