It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MMT as it has been presented to me is missing class analysis and seems like liberals trying to do anything besides marxism.

i'd prefer it to the current regime but it's incomplete like newtonian physics.

MMT isn't an ideology, it's a theory of how money works, and the fundamental assumptions are absolutely compatible with marxist thought. There are caveats to it and it absolutely could be misused by a liberal state but it could also be used to build socialism in its early stages. You're not going to be able to get rid of money immediately, you need a transitional model, MMT could be that model.
