Episode 376 - Modern Monetary Theory & the Question of Democracy with Jim Byrne If governments can create money, why can’t they deliver for the working class? Jim Byrne of MMT101 joins Steve to expose a democracy that stops where capital’s interests begin.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 👇

Capitalism is a virus. It morphs, it learns, it adapts. Voting it away won't work—the elite control the systems. This episode explores dual power, parallel institutions, and why using official channels is a dead end.

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.

"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?

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.
