I read your program, it seems very much in the flavor of Social Democracy, and as a consequence erases Imperialism as the biggest factor in the United States economy. Some of your conclusions, like simply taxing the US to end global poverty, ignore the entire mechanism by which the US Empire runs, cheap labor in the Global South kept dependent on US dollars and foodstuffs.
Further, you reach out to the 1% as the target demographic for this movement, rather than the working class. Next, there’s a lack of Materialism, you place far more value on money than on actual production. All of these flaws absolutely cripple your analysis. Finally, the most damning, is a reliance on simple policy changes being possible in a system dominated by the Billionaires you claim as the enemy, the only way to actually wrest control from them is revolution.
I highly recommend you engage with political theory. I’m a Marxist-Leninist, so I keep an intro Marxist-Leninist reading list. Without understanding the how and why of the system, you can’t learn how to end it. Capitalism cannot be reformed to save it, merely delay collapse while still depending on Imperialism like European Social Democracies. We need Socialism, and revolutionary organizing to overcome the evils of today.
I remember this graph being what solidified me in my leftist beliefs when I was a baby leftist. I showed it to a communist buddy from university and his response was “millenials discover surplus value extraction” lmao he was so right
We have like a hundred of those but you have to admit that “the tankies were right”
i too enjoy pontificating upon graphs of wealth inequality in my eccentrically named society.
We know how to take back their wealth:
Work your wage
How about we receive the full value of the product of our labor instead?
