We can't vote away colonialism.
Elections won't dismantle economic structures designed for extraction. Stop demanding better management of the colonial system. Start demanding its complete demolition. Real democracy requires structural #decolonization first. #revolution #learnMMT #eachoneteachone
How do you mobilize productive capacity without triggering inflation? It's a logical process, not a political slogan. Fadhel Kaboub explains Modern Monetary Theory in a way that's easy to understand even if you've never heard of it before.

Imagine it’s the mid-1990s and Mosler is telling you bigger deficits will make everyone richer because the government is the currency monopolist, debt is basically a myth, and it all nets to zero on an accounting sheet.
2026, you see this and still insist we need more debt! 😂

Well we pay our taxes with government money
And the government uses public money it creates to subsidise the already well off rather than public education or health, infrastructure etc
But you don't fund the Federal Government with tax payments. Not ever

Money is not Shit, People are Shit, the Sumerian created State Money with the invention of Cuneiform somewhere around 2000 BC. It is Folks perception of Money that is "Made Up". Money is simply a Record of Human Economic Interactions, Like a Scoreboard is a Record of Points Scored. #MMT #LearnMMT
Yet another example of why I continue to advocate for everyone to learn how our current macroeconomic system really works. #learnMMT #MMT #understandMMT #teachMMT
I don't really care about your actions old mate
I'm not here to live up to your expectations
I agreed that housing is a human right, you've conveniently ignored that
My comments about work are how to build a compassionate, humane society
But your bee in the bonnet is too dull to get it

The "barter to money" story is a myth. Anthropologists found ancient economies ran on credit & social trust, not inefficient swaps. We didn't invent money for trade; we invented it to track debts. 📜🍻

As the U.S. Gov't is a Sovereign Currency Gov't that creates its own Money at Will and on Demand of Congress, it cannot "Save" its own Currency, it just creates more. Fed Taxes do not Fund Gov't Spending, Learn it Live it! Learn MMT as if your Life depends upon it because it does. #MMT #LearnMMT
MMT & Marxism: Finding Common Ground w/ Owen Bennett. Join us for the YouTube premiere of our latest Macro N Cheese ep. tonight at 7 pm ET. #LearnMMT #ClassStruggle #EachOneTeachOne
Ledgers won't fix this. Understanding Modern Monetary Theory shows what is possible, but you need a functioning democracy to achieve... a functional democracy that doesn't exist in a capitalist system or related institutions. #ClassMatters #LearnMMT #MMT #ModernMonetaryTheory

Is anyone surprised? I doubt it. People are sick to death of this weak, pathetic, genocidal Labour government which panders to the rich and waters down any half decent legislation it proposes. Government for the corporations, not the people! 😡
Spend! Invest, you fucking morons!
And #LearnMMT!
And you know what makes it worse? Taxes dont fund federal spending. So the #austerity is just for the cruelty of it. #LearnMMT @realprogressives

"All these people who were talking about full employment under #capitalism... they're essentially #reformists." how the New Left stopped viewing full employment as a realistic goal under capitalism and started seeing it as a reason to go straight to #socialism.

A monopoly currency issuer can't be "in debt" in their own currency
Only currency users can have debt as you describe it

#Unions should be all-in on a #JobGuarantee. More people directly employed by the federal gov’t means more bargaining power for every worker. Yet many unionists oppose it—fixated on the wage floor instead of the power shift. Owen Bennett: Ending #unemployment itself must be the priority. #LearnMMT
10% of Australian workers can't find full-time work. That's the real injustice. Historian and unionist Owen Bennett counters #union opposition to the #JobGuarantee - full ep. drops Sat. 2/14 @ 8am ET. #LearnMMT Find all our ep: realprogressives.org/macro-n-cheese/
$8 billion to end unemployment. That’s the cost of scaling Victoria’s non-profit jobs policy nationwide. We already have popular, effective programs—now we need a movement to demand them. Bridge the gap from "what worked" to "what’s next."

“Restoring the budget” is nonsense ideology…not a good idea to perpetuate such misinformation #learnmmt
“MMT 101: why it matters, how it reframes money, and why its loudest critics still use it.”

The UK, like ALL Monetarily Sovereign Nations, which is most, NEVER "borrows" its own currency that it creates. Those bond sales fund NOTHING Nationally, they're safe-savings-accounts that only accept BPS£, & only pays back out BPS£.
