Horrela definitu zuen gure Iñakik bere burua: Lutxanakoa, Gorria eta Separatista
Eta nik zoriondu nuen Lutxanan bertan, kalean, eta gauez WhashApparen bidez…
Haizeak neoautonomismo hutsa eta etengabe jotzen duenean…, gure Iñakik separatista
Batzuek marxista direla aipatzen dutenean, Marx-ek berak “ni ez naiz marxista”, ozenki aldarrikatu ondoren…, Iñakik gorria
Mundu hyper globalizatu honetan, jende askok internazionalista direla oihukatzen dutenean, gure lagunak Lutxanakoa dela oso harro aipatzen du
Gora zu, Lutxanakoa, Gorria eta Separatista!
Bi hitz, besterik ez, oraingo marxismoaz, laguntzailea Bill Mitchell:
Bill Mitchell-en Klasea, Kapitalismoa eta MTM
eta
Randall Wray-k dioenez, Money for Beginners (2023), p. 120
“Governement faces political constraints, resource constraints and technological constraints.
For a government that issues its own currency, there is no financial constraints. Whatever is doable is financially affordable.”
[Doable. capable of being done].
Hori ulertzeko MTMz jabetu behar du norberak.
Bestela, erabat galduta, politikari ia guztiak, ekonomialari gehienak eta sasi-intelektualak gehi kazetari guztiak dauden bezala.
Ikaragarria da nonahi ikusten den ez-jakintasuna. Okerrena da jendeak ez duela ikasi nahi. Zertarako?
Hobe norberaren txokoan aritzea, dauzkan gezur guztiak erabat irentsita eta ongi gordeta, pixka bat, soilik pixka bat ikastea baino….
Zergak aberatsei igotzea, dirua edukitzeko (sic), errenta unibertsala, errenta banaketa, oinarrizko errenta, eta abar oso luzea, luzeegia…
Badakizu, independentzia bihurtuko dute subiranotasuna, eta azken hau, de facto, autonomismo hutsa.
Autodeterminazio-eskubidea, existitzen ez den mandanga (hots, derecho a decidir) bilakatuko dute guztiok (lau katu kenduta!)…
(Gogoratu Neoliberala al zara?)
Baina Bill Mitchell-ek esaten duenez (Bill Mitchell-en Klasea, Kapitalismoa eta MTM),
MTM “provides a first class lens into monetary operations, but it doesn’t have a theory of power,”…
So, “It’s important to analyze everything through the lens of class”
“if you have an MMT understanding, we know- immediately- that we don’t need the wealth and income of the rich to provide good public services and good infrastructure and deal with climate change. In a financial sense, the governments that we elect as our agents, have all the currency that they need. “
In fact, “I want to tax the rich out of existence, but not to get their money, I just want them to have less money. Because as government, I don’t need their money, I just want them to have less.”
Izan ere, ”I want the rich to have less money, because money buys power. It helps buy influence, helps influence media and own media, and pervert kno
wledge and pervert information. “
“I still believe MMT is super important, or I wouldn’t be doing this. But I think, ‘MMT as more of a radicalizing tool to expose the capitalist system’, is the key insight at this point, because you can know all the econ you want, but if you can’t touch the levers of power, it doesn’t matter how well you understand your ledgers.”
Bai, baldin eta MTM aparteko lente bat da ekonomia ikusteko eta jakiteko nola funtzionatzen duen, Mitchell-ek erakutsi digu beste lente mota bat behar dugula, klase lente bat, bi klase nagusien arteko gatazka eta boterea analizatzeko.
Marx-ekin hasi eta Michael Kalecki aipatuz, Mitchell-ek degrowth camp delakora eramaten gaitu.
Ikas dezagun!

Degrowth
is a term used for both a political, economic, and social movement as well as a set of theories that criticizes the paradigm of economic growth. Degrowth is based on ideas from political ecology, ecological economics, feminist political ecology, and environmental justice, arguing that social and ecological harm is caused by the pursuit of infinite growth and Western “development” imperatives.
