Christian anti-socialists make a lot of bad arguments and don't even seem to know the core critique of capitalism. This time they came for @malcolmbfoley.bsky.social and that made me upset enough to spend too much time making a long video about how bad those arguments are.

I’m most thankful for the fact that a brother in prison was able to read the book and I found out that it’s going to significantly shape the way he wants to live when he gets out (soon).
It was all worth it.

To say that people are sadistic today in their treatment of the poor and immigrants could be true but it is definitely accurate that the brutality, scope, and scale of the disregard for the vulnerable amounts to making blood offerings to the powers and principalities of greed and domination.

Started it right after coming home from a Civil Rights pilgrimage, and it was absolutely the perfect book to help me internalize the lessons I learned in Alabama.

Hey, squad! Thank you to the many of you who have read and reviewed The Anti-Greed Gospel! Please keep putting reviews up so that this dangerous book can get more exposure.
It’s about time folks saw love as a political economy in resistance against the exploitative ravages of neoliberal capitalism.
