Organizing? It’s no more organizing than laying in bed it. It fact, it’s less because laying in bed isn’t promoting reactionary thought

It doesn’t work as it isn’t materialist. Any supposed benifit would just be a placebo

SecondThought is a patsocs since he is in the patsoc CPUSA. A group that uses terminology like “Bill of Rights” and doesn’t promote land back ideology. Those two things (especially lacking land back as a fundamental tenet of socialist movements in the US) come off to me as egregious symbols of patsocism. I don’t see any way that someone could be in a group that calls themsleves socialist while using American terms like that and ignoring land back in the US could only be that. I don’t think Yugopnik is patsoc even though I dislike him still

How said explain that to them? I said don’t promote snake oils which is what Hakim is saying. He should have left his idealist mouth shut about it

Not offer religious snake oils

Improve their material conditions and not sell them an idealist snake oil

Because he claims to be Marxist which is lying. Marxism is based on materialism and Islam is based i. idealism

The very reason that you can print infinite money and not harm the quality of life of the people via inflation is through economic hegemony

Says something non Marxist that is tailist about an idealist ideology while ignoring Marxist analysis tends to not be popular

He might know more about Islam but still lacks Marxist analysis of the situation

I think he’s Italian so perhaps there is more about him in Italian?

Day is correct here. Hakim is being non materialist

Because the existence of MMT in the US would rely upon US economic hegemony to keep the dollar having any value in a situation like that

Yugopnik was joking even though he quotes him very frequently and does so often? Hakim was ignoring the material reality of the way that Islam is viewed. Islam, on its own doesn’t matter in regards to this, it’s relevant only in the ways that it’s adherents alter their behavior due to it. He is acting like it was Islam on its own which is perposturous. Islam is idealist and resistance movements have existed in countries without it

MMT doesn’t work in smaller countries. It isn’t really a policy that doesn’t rely on economic hegemony

Hakim, the guy who makes a podcast with a patsoc and a Zizek supporter is a real socialist who shouldn’t be critiqued?

That wasn’t the question. The issue is that Hakim is performing reactionary tailism

Promoting modern monetary theory while calling yourself a socialist is normal?

Slammed? What is this? A wrestling match? I hate when “news” uses terms like that

I’ll look into the book but I’m not sure how those wouldn’t be positive traits in socialism as well
