It’s so funny, because it means it will raise wages. I will never understand why these people wont just be honest. Economists will go to whatever lengths necessary to avoid making a class analysis.

increased wages leads to inflation, according to the rules of capitalist profit accumulation. Its what happened during covid, when so many people died the “surplus population” that keeps wage growth stagnant was depleted by a meaningful degree. Wages went up, then inflation followed. And we saw that most of that inflation was just companies raising prices so they could make more money.

Obviously the mass deportation of workers is an act of class war, and should be fought against. But it will increase profits for his buddies in the short term, and buy him some political clout among his base in the shorter term. The problem is, who will do those agri jobs which rely on hyper exploited labor, and why? It is going to cause mayhem for masses of workers.

But also, that is the point. He wants to crash our economy on purpose. The endgame is to force an asset bubble onto China and the EU, through a long painful global recession.

So the problem isn’t Trump, he is a symptom, an accelerant. As always, the problem is capitalism which dominates every part of our lives.

Look up “reserve army of labor”, called “surplus population” by mainstream economists, and the stupidly named “Mara-Lago accords.”
