Okay, actually, at the risk of coming across somewhat paranoid, this is exactly how CIA people talk. And you can see how the reasoning works. Anne Pettifor made a similar kind of comparison when she was talking about the Green Belt Project in the Sahel (this was pre-coup (🫡), mind you) which would have been funded with Western retirement funds and state budgets.

The MMT wonks are convinced that they can use American policy debate to backdoor self-preservation into the psychotic, baby-defiling, cocaine inhaling cosmopolitan bourgeoisie. In their minds, all it will take is clever rhetoric about climate change, pollution, nuclear war, & how the economic ideology of fascism is internally inconsistent (by fucking design) + prone to risk Just like the international relations wonks think they can reposition national interest as the guiding economic logic like it's WWI and everyone is an imperialist. Hold on, the KKE literally thinks that... In any case, the western left parties and the academics will have to direct all this criticism at each other because they're certainly not interested in dealing with the elephant in the room (otherwise they wouldn't entertain people who treat the enormous hoard of settler asset wealth as unimpeachable & to be protected from Klaus Schwab neo-Bolshevism. Anyone else remember when all these people were using the pandemic to scaremonger about the fourth industrial revolution and gassing up Meta's claims of making everybody do their shopping in virtual Walmart? Anyone remember when this guy was using his comments on Team Fortress 2's hat market to game credibility? It's all so tiresome) & they won't ever, ever, ever be heard out by the institutions they dream of fixing.
