Yes, MM, it’s as if The Banksters have been undermining the possible sources of opposition to a system of global debt bondage for several decades by now.
Harvey remains one of the more inspiring straight-up marxists around, applying the perspective at the right junctures. He’s got radical + realist flavor that appeals to me.
We live in interesting times. If the Left brand wasn’t so polluted, diffuse, and disorganized, it could unite people of a lot of different persuasions against the parasitic FIRE sector oligarchy. But it can’t. I’ve come to understand why Doc always amends ‘the Left’ with ‘[sic]’ when referring to the United States. We’re so marginalized that we scarcely deserve the definite article at the moment. There’s barely any ‘there’ there. This is me, speaking as one of the Left [sic].
And did I mention they’re well and truly entrenched? The Russian oligarchs had less than a decade to dig in. Our banksters have gone without serious opposition since FDR.
A stroke of genius. Even DFH Dave can now grasp the scope and gravity of the situation. Oh, and rkka is right. This is dangerous stuff. Political dynamite if it ever went viral, which of course it won’t.
Be careful here. The Banksters are perfectly willing to call forth the likes of Hitler to prevent this type of thinking taking hold. It will require superlative strategy and tactics to avoid a disasterous outcome.
I see no one, anywhere, who is good enough to pull this off, by a long shot. Putin overcame Russia’s energy oligarchs, but they were nowhere near as ruthless and skilled as our Banksters.

@DFH Dave
It would be dynamite as a big viral, agree. Also agree it’s a shame it won’t.
