Sex Work & Vice City
The revolutionΒ isnβtΒ an action-packed thrill ride like in video games.Β ItβsΒ a long, slow process where one class builds itself up. And that begins with how we treat each other.
βKarl Marx wrote about how exploitative prostitution was under bourgeois control in his time. He never condemned sex work in generalβand certainly wouldnβt under modern conditions that include third-wave feminism and the internet. Marx said, βWorkers of the world, unite!β That includes sex workers.β

State Money, Class Struggle
Anthony Anastasi on how MMT & Marxist class analysis can be complementary when money is understood as a tool of the state rather than an ideology.
#MMT isnβt capitalist apologetics β itβs a description of how sovereign #currency actually works. Pair it with Marxist #classanalysis and you get a clearer view of how the stateβs monetary #power shapes struggle. Anastasi lays it out brilliantly. #Marxism #podcast #money #China

MMT is not an ideology. It's more an explanation on how modern money works in a fiat currency system. And then Marxism... explains social relations and how production influences all of that. The two of them could be compatible if you look at it the right way. But... then again, MMT can be compatible with any sort of ideology.
Anthony W. D. Anastasi, MNC Ep 364
In Reform or Revolution, Rosa Luxemburg laid out the case for non-reformist reforms. That these reforms are not there to necessarily protect the current social order, but to awaken what can be powerful or what can be acheived by the working class.
