Wealth Redistribution VS Mutual Aid
Manage episode 312042941 series 3217802
In this Episode of Beneath The Surface I have my first conversational episode with Labor Organizer, Marxist feminist, and Virgo Sun with an Aries Moon, Lexy Reyelts Salas. In this episode Lexy helps us understand the difference between Wealth Distribution and Mutual Aid. We will define terms like capitalism, wealth and what we mean when we say “The Rich”. We also discuss in depth many of the myths that capitalism feeds us to sustain itself. In addition to this we talk about the role that the law has and continues to play in creating generational wealth for specific groups of people and how calls for wealth distribution are different from mutual aid and why that is so.
