The West calls the USSR a dictatorship and the US a democracy. This episode asks you to reconsider everything you think you know. #USSR #democracy #history #podcast

The US is a one-party state with two capitalist wings. The USSR had real worker democracy. Jeremy explains why Western propaganda needs you to believe the opposite. #capitalism #propaganda #democracy

We must realize that we cannot vote socialism into existence b/c the working class has been so propagandized, and the political system only serves capital, which makes all electoral routes impossible. #socialism #capitalism #podcast

Politicians are swayed by propaganda, lobbyists, careers, etc. They don't make policy based on what voters want, but rather on what donors want. That's not democracy. That’s oligarchy we can’t vote away. Full ep ft Jim Byrne of MMT101: realprogressives.org/mnc-podcast-... #Democracy #ClassWar

“MMT tells you what’s possible. It doesn’t tell you how to get around the fact that billionaires own the microphones, the politicians, and your attention span. Class war isn’t a metaphor, it’s the operating system.” ~Grumbine's Ghost 👻 #classwar #solidarity #mmt

Why did govt invent taxes? Not to raise revenue. To force people to work for the central authority. You need its currency to pay taxes. Taxes create demand for money and free up real resources. Find all our ep: realprogressives.org/macro-n-cheese/ #LearnMMT #govt

Govts aren't like households.️ The 'we can't afford it' lie keeps us trapped. MMT says: resources are finite - money is not. The govt’s real job is managing resources, not balancing a checkbook. Full ep ft Jim Byrne of MMT101 Sat. 4/18 8am ET. Podcast link in comment below 👇 #MMT #resources

The federal government doesn't need your tax money to spend.️ It creates currency whenever it votes to spend. Federal taxes don't fund anything, but they give money value. Full ep ft Jim Byrne of MMT101 drops Sat. 4/18 8am ET. Podcast link in comment below 👇 #taxes #money

MMT is incredibly simple. Money is a concept backed by law and taxes. It doesn't come from gold. It comes from a politician's vote and a central bank's keyboard. Find all our ep: realprogressives.org/macro-n-cheese/ #LearnMMT #CentralBank #FederalSpending

Socialists don't transform government - they get transformed into ministers of capitalism as Rosa Luxemburg observed. AOC and the Squad are proof. Steve Grumbine discusses solutions outside of elections. Link to full ep in comment below 👇 #capitalism #AOC #elections

Socialists understand we live in an oligarchy but MMT adds that currency-issuing governments can’t go broke. National Debt panic is political theater. Find all our ep: realprogressives.org/macro-n-cheese/ #LearnMMT #Oligarchy #PoliticalTheater

Steve Grumbine reflects on MMT & oligarchy. Real Progressives shifts focus from elections to class struggle, dual power & building resistance outside official channels. New ep Sat 4/11 8am ET. Find all our ep: realprogressives.org/macro-n-cheese/ #MMT #oligarchy #ClassStruggle

Steve describes his journey and that of Real Progressives. Our MMT focus has expanded to encompass a robust critique of capitalism. Transformative change requires macroeconomic literacy and class consciousness. #LearnMMT #capitalism #ClassConsciousness

"Capitalism sustains itself through institutional coercion disguised as “common sense.” Steve reminds w/MMT lens, the binding constraint isn’t technical (rates, money), it’s political power & will. If that’s true, “reform” may be a trap. What would "escape" actually require? #Revolution?

Also check out her apperarance on our RP Live episode 222, where she discusses her book "The Capital Order". realprogressives.org/mnc-podcast-...

Clara talks about her book 'The Capital Order'. Austerity is fiscal, monetary, and industrial. It isn’t a policy choice, it’s a necessity. Capitalism couldn’t survive without it. Full episode link: realprogressives.org/mnc-podcast-... #capitalism #book #austerity #exploitation

Austerity is required to enforce society’s organization by class divisions, based on wage labor and exploitation. Destabilizing the economy in terms of economic growth is necessary to preserve the capital order.
