Reading about Solon - mostly bc of his poetry, but it's inseparable from his politics - and I'm like "wow we need this guy right now"

Mood: fantasizing about someone who will abolish all our debts
Show this thread
our debts can only be abolished when we abolish all debts. that's the message of Jesus & Marx.

Well, Solon's too

Solon's seisachtheia was debt relief, not universal abolition. his reforms set Athens on the trajectory of democracy--a polity defined by the free movement of the commodity. Jesus & Marx want away with the commodity.
