Debt Is The Most Effective

It Affects Every Aspect Of Our Lives, Is Often Said To Be The Root Of All Evil, And The Analysis Of The World That It Makes Possible - What We Call 'the Economy' - Is So Important To Us That Economists Have Become The High Priests Of Our Society. Yet, Oddly, There Is Absolutely No Consensus Among Economists About What Money Really Is.

Money Has Always Been A Particular Problem For Revolutionaries And Anti-capitalists. What Will Money Look Like 'after The Revolution'? How Will It Function? Will It Exist At All? It's Hard To Answer The Question If You Don't Know What Money Actually Is. Proposing To Eliminate It Entirely Seems Utopian And Naive.

I Would Like, Then, To End By Putting In A Good Word For The Non-industrious Poor. At Least They Aren’t Hurting Anyone. Insofar As The Time They Are Taking Time Off From Work Is Being Spent With Friends And Family, Enjoying And Caring For Those They Love, They’re Probably Improving The World More Than We Acknowledge.

The Working Poor Are The People Suffering Out Subprime Mortgages And Fatal Loans And More And More Of Our Money - You Know, Capitalism Is Operated By Extracting Money, Not So Much Directly Being Paid.

Now, We're Used To Thinking Of Communism As Being Once-upon-a-time-all-things-were-owned-in-common, Maybe-someday-this-will-come-again. And People Agree That There Is A Sort Of Epic Narrative Going On Here. I Think We Should Just Throw This Narrative Out, It's Irrelevant Anyway, And Who Cares Who Owns Things? I Don't. You Know, We All Own The White House. So What? I Still Can't Go In, Right?
