    And the whims of large domestic and international private capital as the other source of money they can rely on in need.

      Domestic capital can be controlled.

      International capital is a problem, but financial imperialism isn’t an argument for surrender. It only hightens the need for sovereignty!

        How do you control it once it’s gained power over the government and democracy? I understand how you can control it prior to that, but you’re still giving it power that previously belonged to the workers, you’re making it easier for it to entrench this power, and the right to be paid for it to top it off. I get you’re making the point that it’s the lesser problem than international capital, but it’s still a problem that a people probably doesn’t want to create for itself unless it really needs to. 😀

          You avoid giving it even more power over the government by surrendering currency sovereignty!
