Economics 🧵 on the national situation in the US, from a Marxist Leninist. The US budget deficit is at $1.4T in 2023 and is projected to grow to $2T in future years. In years past, the US could easily plug the deficit by issuing bonds (treasuries).

When ppl say police uphold a “white supremacist order” then the only solution one can surmise is changing hearts and minds, an impossible endeavor. Better to say police enforce capitalist class relations, upon which yt supremacy thrives. There, solution is clear: end capitalism

It's important to bring this up bc a lot of artists consider themselves political radicals when rlly they're purveyors of petty bourgeois radicalism. Idealism, nihilism, formlessness -- all are rampant themes in today's artists. All serve to reinforce capitalism.

In all likelihood, Tate will go off easy — whether through some backdoor deal for extradition or a weak sentence. And even if he does time, he won’t be restored, and he’ll later profit off of whatever martyrdom he gained from his heinous following.
