This is true but it really means there is a capitalism crisis. Because you're never going to be able to convince our capitalist government to do a reform that takes power away from the capitalists who own the government. The only housing reforms possible in a capitalist party like the Democrats are going to lead to more profit for developers and finance corporations. Kamala is appointing BlackRock executives, she's going to help them buy all our houses after we're evicted, no matter what they say on the campaign trail.

This is a valid sentiment. What Harvard Business School and CNBC call “Capitalism” IS in crisis. That being said—

My take has always been that calling our present economy “Capitalism” is like calling Fig Newtons “cookies.” I know what a cookie is. That’s not a cookie.

Today’s economy is theocratic witchcraft retconned onto John Stuart Mill, Adam Smith, John Locke and Hegel as a placating cosplay.

None of those philosophers imagined corporate personhood.

None of them imagined private bankers printing public money.

None of them imagined fractional reserve banking.

None of them imagined fiat trading and manipulation.

We cannot surrender to Ivy League goofballs and the CATO institute lying about their own mythos. THEY are the actual anti-capitalists. We have endless receipts.

Many functionally humanistic economic policies align with a non-hypocritical read of “capitalist” philosophy.

I REJECT the master’s semantics in dismantling the master’s house. Semantic lies melt to truth.

There’s too much nuance here - these opinions need a punchy short form to get the people going.

you probably don’t think about liquidity enough // it is what it is  // build value, not valuation

I’ve neglected music but that’s somewhat what it’s for. Lots of “punchy short form” in progress 😂
