Yeva Nersisyan talks with Steve about leftist economists who are still wedded to the belief that government spending relies on taxpayer money: "if an academic on the left uses the ‘taxpayer dollar’ framing, then you cannot be surprised when the right uses it too"

Third, from Panama. Pledging allegiance to the US will not protect you. Trump's threat to invade Panama shows they will not hesitate to violate the sovereignty of their own allies. NB., the US invaded Panama in 1989 to remove a president who was a literal US asset, once he became inconvenient.
Second, regarding sanctions. Dependence on trade with the US, on finance from the US, and on US financial systems, is extremely risky. States in this position are vulnerable to being crushed by US sanctions at any time. More than 60% of all developing countries are now under US sanctions.
The past year has delivered three important lessons that every government in the global South should take seriously. 🧵
First, from Palestine. The US and its Western allies do not care about human rights and international law when it comes to the South. They are willing to inflict apocalyptic, genocidal violence if it serves their material interests, and they will do so with impunity. See also: Iraq, Libya, etc.
Its expensive being poor.

Remember when we heard about how Israel would never attack a hospital? www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
Watching Palestinians fight for their lives on our screens is the most dehumanising experience of my life, but it doesn’t dehumanise them — it dehumanises everyone else for passively existing in a world that permits their destruction for nothing more than Western greed
🚨NEWS: The nation’s top private health insurers have spent over $120 BILLION lining top shareholders’ pockets with lucrative stock buybacks.
It’s no coincidence that among those top investors are the very executives who authorize buybacks in the first place 👇

Learn MMT and stop being fooled about what a decent govt can do
You may be interested in this discussion I had with Steve at Real Progressives recently. We talk about class, the PMC and other matters.
If you have ever wondered what colonization was like—the violence, the dispossession, the massacres, the genocide, the displacement, the famine, the dehumanization, the racism—you are watching it in real time in Palestine. It is among the most depraved of all possible acts.
We can’t dedollarize a system that hasn’t been structurally decolonized yet. No new multipolar world can be born without Africa & the rest of the Global South being repositioned at the center of a New International Economic Order. My latest blog:
