I made a substack for this so you can send it to your libbed up friends and family. Also like/comment on the article that would be cool, im sure that helps spread it somehow

Premise: A lot of great socialist and left-leaning people have dismantled the main point of the Bidenomics argument by showing that many millions of people were left behind. This article is coming in to destroy what little remains after that - even the best case scenario is still just wrong and delusional.

Supposedly, this is what allowed Britain to build a welfare state after the second world war as well. The poor actually saw general nutrition improve during rationing, and they witnessed what the state could accomplish if it really wanted to.

The rich realised this, and figured out that if they didn't throw a bone to the working class, they were going to end up dead, and so compromised.

Having the Red Army located in Eastern Germany surely also helped make the prospect of revolution go from specter to reality.
