The source, an excerpt from the blog post "The Federal Reserve: A Fortress for Capital" by SpiritWhisper, argues from an anti-capitalist perspective that the concept of Federal Reserve independence is a deliberate illusion. The author contends that the Fed is not a neutral technocratic body but rather an institution explicitly designed to safeguard the capitalist system, primarily benefiting banks, corporations, and investors, citing the responses to the 2008 and 2020 financial crises as evidence. Furthermore, the political clash involving Donald Trump’s attempt to remove a Fed governor is reframed not as an attack on institutional norms, but as an internal power struggle between competing factions of the capitalist elite. Ultimately, the text asserts that the warnings of "chaos" only refer to instability for the ruling class and proposes that genuine stability requires replacing institutions like the Fed with democratically controlled economic structures that prioritize the needs of the working class.
