In the spirit of Green Day's 'American Idiot,' this explosive pop punk banger tears into the insanity of modern financial culture and the way we've all been 'hoodwinked' into worshipping at the altar of the almighty market.

From staring at green and red numbers on screens to the panic when 'the bubble just pops,' this high-energy rock anthem captures the maddening frustration of a system where our worth is dictated by market volatility. It's about the realization that we're 'blindly supporting the man' while our joy gets shelled out by raging bulls and economic crashes.

With razor-sharp lyrics that question everything from 401ks to hospital bills that cost as much as cars, this song channels pure anger at a world where hedge funds battle Reddit traders while people can't afford life-saving medication. It's punk rock rebellion against financial bondage disguised as the American Dream.

A driving, politically charged banger that asks the hard questions: Have markets become our new religion? Why do we trust others with our money while feeling 'bad and crummy' despite making more? Raw, unapologetic, and perfectly timed for anyone fed up with the financial circus.

For everyone who's ever wondered 'what the fuck did I miss?' – this one's your battle cry.

No More Bear or Bullshit

The dual nature of capitalism

ليه الشغل ساعات يبان حلو من برّه… ومُرّ من جوّه؟
الحلقة دي بتاخدك معانا لحتة كلنا بنعدّي عليها: اللحظة اللي بنسأل فيها نفسنا…
هو إحنا بنشتغل حبًا في اللي بنعمله؟ ولا علشان هي دي اللعبة ومفيش غيرها؟
عسل الشغل المُرّ حلقة بتفكّك وبتتساءل عن جماليات بيئة العمل، والسعادة اللي الشركات بتحاول تبيعها لنا، وإزاي ممكن نعيش سنين نجري ورا النجاح… وإحنا مش واخدين بالنا إن الروح وقفت تستنّانا في النص		

بودكاست أكل عيش - الحلقة الأولي: عسل الشغل المُرّ

91: If there's no 'ethical consumption', can just I buy what I want?

In her talk at the “Pluriverse of Peace” conference, Debora Darabi argued that war and climate crisis are not independent but are expressions of a single total social relation: capitalism as the self-movement of value. Drawing on Karl Marx’s analysis of alienation and subject formation, Darabi demonstrated how individuals are compelled to participate in capitalist dynamics that transcend conscious intention and influence every aspect of life, from basic needs to global crises and war. Her talk challenged common assumptions about agency, responsibility, and social causation. She explored what the climate crisis and contemporary wars reveal about the imperatives of capitalist society and the possibilities for collective, conscious transformation that emerge when we rethink the foundations of our social world.

The talk was created for and presented at the “Pluriverse of Peace” conference on Thursday, October 16 at the ICI Berlin. The talk expanded on her argument at the “Kin City” conference, where Debora Darabi examined how environmental stressors, including air and noise pollution, lack of green space, and elevated heat levels, interact with mental health issues and shorter life expectancies in marginalized communities.

Pluriverse of Peace: Debora Darabi

We are living in a world that is sliding into ‘ecosystem chaos,’ where capitalism can no longer calculate its own future and war has become the only governing algorithm. War regimes seep into every aspect of society, from Ukraine to Palestine and from Silicon Valley platforms to the people they exploit. In his talk at the “Pluriverse of Peace” conference, the writer and philosopher Raúl Sánchez Cedillo calls for a different horizon: a constituent peace, an insurrection of those very bodies, and the reconstruction of networks outside the ‘surveillance grid.’ It is a wager that emancipation could still erupt from chaos. But only if we learn to inhabit it differently.

Karl Marx And Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto -  The Emergence Of The Proletariat

In today’s world, anyone serious about anti-imperialism, global development, and monetary sovereignty needs to break through the well-funded US propaganda machine and develop a fact-based, nuanced understanding of China. 

To this end, Steve asked Yan Liang to come back to the podcast to look at China through the MMT lens, analyzing its economic management, global role, and response to Western villainization. They discuss China’s development ethos and describe China as a state that actively uses its monetary and fiscal sovereignty to guide development towards internal goals (poverty alleviation, technological self-reliance, common prosperity) and external partnership (Win-win cooperation, Belt and Road Initiative).  

Illustrating the difference between state steering and the so-called “free market,” the conversation goes into China’s mobilization of real resources through strategic state guidance, like Five-Year Plans and state-owned enterprises in key sectors.  

Yan talks about the use of capital controls and a managed exchange rate. She details lessons from 2015 and the application of MMT principles to insulate domestic policy from volatile external forces. 

Without romanticizing China, Yan also walks through its real challenges. But from an MMT-aware lens, these are seen as problems of policy design and resource use – issues a sovereign, planning-oriented state can address – rather than proof of an impending collapse. 

Yan Liang is Peter C and Bonnie S Kremer Chair Professor of Economics at Willamette University. She is also a Research Associate at the Levy Economics Institute, a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Global Development Policy Center (Boston University), and a Research Scholar of the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity. 

Yan specializes in the Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), the Political Economy of China, Economic Development, and International Economics. Yan's current research focuses on China's development finance and industrial transformation, and China's role in the global financial architecture.

Comfort Food for Thought!

It all started with a dog named Eddie — a scruffy little guy kids swore looked like a real-life teddy bear. When he passed in 2020, I brought his spirit back as a 3D bear: playful, honest, and the other half of me.

In A Teddy Named Eddie, we tell true stories from my life through pop punk riffs, alt rock hooks, and early 2000s nostalgia. Sometimes I’m in his world; sometimes he’s in mine. Always cinematic, always full of heart, and always a little magical.
