American Monetary Act
American Monetary Act
Charles, what kind of Marxist are you? Abolish interest without
abolishing the profit system? Print money to fund infrastructure
investment? This is classic populist snake oil!
Doug
^^^^^^^
CB: Isn't interest taking part of the profit system ?
^^^^^^^^
CB: No aya contradiction between both. Can't we abolish interest and abolish
the profit system , both ? Did Marx teach that there would still be
interest in socialism ? Would there be banks collecting interest and
creating money in Marx's socialism ?
CB: I'm trying to figure out whether the capitalist system has qualitatively
new characteristics related to the dominance of finance capital over the
rest. This seems to imply we have to have a direct struggle against finance
capital that was not there in the classic Marxist struggles.
>From my discussions with you over the years, I understand that you believe
that Lenin's analysis of finance capital is out of date. What are the new
characteristics of finance capital , and what form should the struggle
against them take ? Should we be focussing on the industrial proletariat
still ?
