Leftists, and especially global south leftists, must understand Americans will never, ever view us as full human beings, and they will never ever put our lives before their material interests.

Recently picked up oil painting, and for an art/hobby that has been popular for almost a millennium its surprisingly hard to find solid “standardised” information

"Finance is independent from production, and banks don’t really lend money for financing new industrial capital formation, if anything that is the job of the stock market through IPOs and public offerings. The financial market makes money financially not through interacting with the real economy." -Hudson

“Today, let’s look at the situation again. The largest commodity exports from the United States, for the last five months, can you guess what commodity it is? Not aircraft, not automatic intelligence, not computers. It’s non-monetary gold. America’s largest export is now the gold that its private holders and perhaps even the U.S. government have had. The largest exports of gold are to Britain and Switzerland, Switzerland being a transfer point to China and Hong Kong. Hong Kong is the third major destination of this gold… In 1971, the United States said, okay, we’re not selling you gold anymore. What’s your choice? You don’t have any choice. How are you going to save all these dollars that you’re accumulating? Well, there’s really no alternative to gold. We’re not going to let you invest in American companies or control our economy like we use your balance of payments to buy out your economy. All you can do is buy U.S. Treasury securities or corporate bonds. That’s not the case now because Iran, like Venezuela, was saying, we don’t want to hold dollars, and we have alternative dollars now. We can hold Chinese yen, essentially. So now, when America loses gold, this money is not recycled into loans to the U.S. Treasury to fund the balance of payments deficit to continue waging war. America is being stripped of its gold and its core international economic power, just as it’s being stripped of its bombs and missiles and aircraft and all the other elements of war. America’s left without any cards to play the game, if you want to look at it in terms of game theory. America is broke. That is what the Iran war has done to Trump’s plans. And this is what didn’t occur in any of the past wars because other countries had no alternative.” -Hudson

They realized they could abandon the gold standard in favor of funding imperialism via treasury bond sales & the black market.
