The Separation of Powers is BROKEN, Here’s Why

Support my work on Patreon: Email 1dimeman@ for inquiries 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. #supremecourt #USDemocracy Timestamp 00:00 Introduction 00:27 “Democratic Institutions” 01:45 The Founding Fathers 03:00 The System of Checks and Balances 07:30 The Supreme Court: Judicial Aristocracy 09:01 The Limits of Reformism 11:26 Conclusion All sources are shown on the screen throughout the video.
