      I would like to point out for people talking about "rent-seeking" that labor unions, under the classical econ definition, are one of the biggest examples of "rent-seeking" entities, and wages being higher than their "efficient" level is defined as "rent"

      When people talk about "artificially inflated" prices they're embracing neoliberalism, by definition The idea of a "true" or "efficient" price for something is classical liberal economics, what Marx called "commodity fetishism"

      If you want to know why the Old Left died out this is one big reason why Even the angry young radicals have a kneejerk tendency to think as consumers and not producers, buyers and not sellers Low prices are always good, even when they naturally come with low wages

      Compare the famous quote from the 50s from the President of the UAW denying that "consumers" were a meaningful interest group at all ("Who is a consumer? Show me a consumer")

      Anyway, this is the extreme irony of someone like Matt Stoller, whose overwhelming obsession is with "monopolies" and "competition" (as neoliberal a concern as it gets) presenting himself as a "leftist"

          Replying to @arthur_affect

          Calibrating who is and isn't a real leftist in the US looks like an absolute fucking nightmare anyway tbf given the terminological bleed that goes on. AFAICS in the US a Marxist is a liberal and someone who supports paid national maternity leave is a Marxist
