Debtors’ unions, in solidarity with labor unions and tenants unions, are the organizing formations we need to dismantle genocidal racial capitalism.

    So what’s their solution? Not paying debts is a form of power, no doubt but that doesn’t solve the fundamental issue they’re railing on about.

      I think the first couple paragraphs sums up their position pretty well. Stop sending munitions to the Middle East and use that money to cancel student loans and invest in better education for all.

        Really doesn’t solve the fundamental problem. It’s still just a bandaid.

          When you break a leg falling in a hole, you’re happy to start by getting a cast. Fixing the fundamental problem of there being a hole still needs to be fixed, but maybe you deal with the damage first.

          Yes we also need to deal with the overwhelming costs associated with the profit motive of higher education. And the fact that many schools are sports teams with education as a side hustle. But I also think a bit of help to everyone drowning in debt would be a better use of our taxes
