This video delves into the deep-seated, undemocratic nature of the American political system, its system of “checks and balances,” the roles of the Supreme Court, the Senate, and Congress and how the separation of powers, far from being a virtue of US Democracy, is one of its most undemocratic features, as it limits political democracy to a propertied minority while foreclosing economic democracy for the propertyless majority. The video also critiques the naive views of social democrats and encourages people to envision alternative conceptions of genuine economic democracy.
