What I meant about the describing and prescriptions is this: mmt can describe how money comes into existence in a state-monetary relation. The idea that this has implications beyond is not getting closer to a truth about money but getting further from a truth about production and social reproduction. It may be a proletarian idea, but it's firmly based in a finance-capital world where the root of money is seen as having prescriptions outside of the simple analysis of the goods/services/needs produced, moved, and used.
MMT can show the absurdity of a rich country not purchasing more for cheap and spreading it out to prevent poverty locally. It still requires a production outside of the money relation though. Coupling these 2 makes it possibly Marxist (or at least connected to materialism) but that is not the focus of MMT research
