Why capitalism blocks a Job Guarantee: it would eliminate the "power of the sack"—the threat of firing used to discipline workers. Drawing on Mattei and Kalecki, we show full employment threatens capital’s control.
#JobGuarantee #austerity #capitalism

NEW EP!! 💣
Military AI Watch investigative reporter Peter Byrne dissects how Silicon Valley’s #AI boom is fusing with the Pentagon, creating a self-directed war machine that serves monopoly capital’s profits while steering us toward nuclear catastrophe.

Forget the sci-fi scenarios. The reality of AI warfare is that machines are being taught that human hesitation is a bug, not a feature. Check out our episode on the 'kill chain' and why the shut-off switch is a fantasy.

#Capitalism #War
Why do textbooks push the barter myth? Not because it’s true, but because it makes #markets feel "natural" and "fair." If we start with exchange, we ignore the #wars, #politics, and power struggles that really decide who gets what. Markets don't emerge from a vacuum.
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. 📜🍻

Your parents, teachers, #politicians, and favorite #journalists all repeated the same lie:
“The government must budget like a household.”
It’s false—and it’s killing our ability to fight poverty, #inequality, and climate collapse.
Everything you were taught about #money is wrong.
The U.S. can’t “run out,” taxes don’t fund Fed. spending, & the “nat. debt” isn’t a debt.
Shocking, but 100% true.
Unlearn #myths which keep #healthcare, #climate action, and a livable future, out of our grasp.

Since the 1500s, production relations have been transformed: everything is made for profit, not use. Now this logic has reached its endpoint – the virus of capitalism profits from the destruction of its hosts in humanity and nature.
#capitalism #profit #nature
Capitalism may destroy the basis for social & natural reproduction within 100 yrs. Ali Kadri explains how we now make things for sale, not use & pay dearly for the pollution capital produces for profit.

NEW EP with Dr. Ali Kadri!!
Capitalism isn’t just markets and greed. It’s a destructive social relationship. War, austerity, pollution, and genocide aren’t accidents that occasionally happen to capitalism. They are outcomes to be monetized. 💥
Fascism offers a half-truth: support for a specific type of worker, defined by who they're willing to murder. We explore how the death industry profits from these divisions and why, regardless of elections, the system produces warmongers.
#fascism #capitalism #WorkingClass
Workers who police other workers are personifications of capital, not revolutionaries. Ali Kadri discusses class unity under capitalism & why the death industry always wins under this system. Full ep drops Sat 2/21 @ 8am ET.

#capitalism #nature #profit
Capitalism commodifies everything in the name of profit for a few over social & environmental wellbeing. Ali Kadri gives a searing critique of capital’s parasitic relationship to humanity & nature. Full ep drops Sat 2/21 @ 8am ET.
