Everybody Gets Pie A political podcast about abundance 🥧

Numbers on Armand Domalewski's Abundance podcast are looking pretty grim...starting to think that there's no real popular demand for this stuff

ahahaha

Interesting how the rich guy who clearly hasn't thought much about this nevertheless intuits the primary weakness of a universal health care program that allows the private sector to continue - a problem that half the responses are in denial about or try to handwave away

This is the exact same argument-by-analogy you used to see all the time on Tumblr against fursecution

In this parable Jesus directly asks whether it is permissible to break the law "to save lives or to kill?" Guess what Jesus's answer is, and guess what this lady's is

Incorrect, Marx is clear that the feudal possession of land "through inheritance or some other traditional right" gave it a distinct social character that is abolished under capitalism.

This feature of feudalism has all kinds of consquences he spells out at length, IE in his critique of Hegel.

Property inheritance is a fundamental feature of feudalism, not capitalism. Nothing about the concentration of capital makes inheritance inevitable. Estate tax should isn't a tool to fix capitalism, it's a tool to prevent dynastic aristocracy, which comes with its own set of problems.

Abundance market tweaks left millions hungry during SNAP shutdown The central challenge faced by the welfare state is still the simplest one: funding.

NEW: Abundance fans have called for market reforms to welfare - but as the SNAP crisis proved, no amount of technocratic tweaking can make up for basic underfunding.

Estate taxes do not make hereditary aristocracies obvious, they abolish them

Keep up the good work everyone

Expect to see a lot more of this in the coming decades, since most of the so-called "Great wealth transfer" from Boomers to Millennials is going to take place among the top 2%.

This is why estate taxation is so important. If we don't do it we're going to get a hereditary aristocracy.

Thank you for sharing your personal experience, it is valid. However, every piece of polling that I have ever seen suggests that it is nevertheless unrepresentative of the left writ large.

It's incredible how this article of faith that the left is unusually bigoted has cornered folks like you into believing that it must therefore oppose AOC despite all evidence to the contrary

Polls always use "very liberal" to mean "left" but the trend is obvious and exactly what you would expect if online hasn't poisoned your brain

Personally I am not a fan but the numbers are what they are!

The left is AOC's strongest base of support and it's not even close?

If every other round of discourse is any precedent it's just interest waning. It's not a thing that touches people's day-to-day lives so if there isn't some big new thing in the news they just stop paying attention

Latest round of Epstein discourse over

This is what I believe about social media

Liberal pundit discovers left economics Michael Green's posts on poverty rebrands old left critiques as wonky new insights.

NEW: A recent Substack post that's become popular among liberals correctly argues that the "middle class" is moving out of reach for Americans - but then insists that middle class Americans have "economic stability." That's not true!

In any case I don't see much evidence that Norway is "leading" the drive to war, awarding the Nobel to Machado was dumb but it's a big leap of logic to insist that 1) that manufactures consent for war and 2) it does so significantly enough to make Norway a "leader"

Does she know that Norway exports oil and profits from oil scarcity in Europe

Hi socialists understand this thank you

Theories of property. In particular

- How private property is a historically recent invention
- Liberal defenses of private property and their problems
- How private property inevitably leads to infinite concentration of wealth
- Marx's arg for socialized property on rationalistic grounds
