You're confusing actual battle with mere rhetorical arguments, a shouting match. There is no victor, just noise that serves as a distraction.
Besides, the thesis has two parts: what the alleged true cause of inflation is, and how attention is being diverted away from it. They can each be independently true or false.
- shove 3y agoUnless we’re getting out the torches and pitchforks and marching to the guillotines (pretty please?), it’s purely a rhetorical battle. Are you suggesting that power dynamics are irrelevant in a shouting-match? I’m not taking issue with the “true cause” bit. I’m taking issue with the absurd notion that the central banks and govt sit outside the capitalist/worker dynamic.
