How Some Autocrats Exploit Failures of Neoliberalism

mercredi 20 avril 2022 à 01:20

Politics offers two ways to end the injustice of neoliberalism (the system that plutocracy imposes to serve the plutocrats): democratic socialism, and hate-based fascist authoritarianism.

The article describes neoliberalism as a "failure". In a sense, it is. Neoliberalism was presented (for instance, by Reagan) as a system that would serve people better in general. In those terms, it is a failure.

However, it's not a failure for the plutocrats. That's why they fight so hard against progressives.

But they might find fascism even more lucrative. Instead of corrupting and lobbying the legal system, they could wipe away all governmental respect for popular opposition to plutocracy.
