Aral BalkanThe fascists aren’t winning because neoliberalism has failed but because it has succeeded.
Paradigma@aral And also because we all ignore the money creation mechanics and who creates it. With this set of rules the outcome is unavoidable. We give for granted too many things, and money is one, yet is the pillar of our current society. What's even money to begin with?
Dźwiedziu@paradigma Money is… <drumroll> a social construct.
@dzwiedziu @aral Yes, to a certain degree. A medium of exchange. But what's really in essence is debt, debt to a central bank hence debt to a corporation profit driven. Abraham Lincoln understood this, created the Greenbacks to take the power to create money from Banks, he got killed.
Money is debt to a handful of humans, just because so. Nothing more, nothing less.
