    "So pervasive has neoliberalism become that we seldom even recognise it as an ideology. We appear to accept the proposition that this utopian, millenarian faith describes a neutral force; a kind of biological law, like Darwin’s theory of evolution. But the philosophy arose as a conscious attempt to reshape human life and shift the locus of power.
    Neoliberalism sees competition as the defining characteristic of human relations. It redefines citizens as consumers, whose democratic choices are best exercised by buying and selling, a process that rewards merit and punishes inefficiency. It maintains that “the market” delivers benefits that could never be achieved by planning."*

    So the individualism and identity politics of the 60s helped usher in the evil of Thatcherism which we are still suffering under today? Interesting but sad. We need to bring back Keynesianism.

      'to peter out' : to run down to nothing, to become exhausted, originally a term from mining for minerals and metals. Veins of gold 'peter out'.

    • @ngrey651

      Jay Paul Kim it doesn’t really work. The people who cared most about the economy? They voted for Hillary! The people who cared about issues like immigration, national security? They voted for Donald Trump. As in, “I’m afraid of brown people coming in to my country, either from the Middle East, or from Mexico.“ and study after study showed that they had bigoted, prejudicial views when asked basic questions about such positions. I remind you, most of Donald Trump supporters think that Barack Obama is from Kenya, and is a Muslim!

    • @ngrey651
      @ngrey651 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It comes from "cultural anxiety", dude, the fear that the other is taking more and more and thus you're having less and less. And again, those people voted for Trump.

    • @holyfingshit

      claiming obamas stimulus package didnt play a big part in recovery in 2009 is dishonest
      to claim that trumps tax plan and tariffs on canada and china will not negatively impact the us economy is even more dishonest

    How does the neoliberal Trump get elected because of neoliberal's failings? Only difference is he is also a nationalist. I still think the majority of Americans think neoliberalism works well but I'm in a red part of Ohio and everyone thinks neoliberalism works well.

    • @tcorangemen

      Depressed liberal turnout and Obama’s failure to do anything for “toss up” independent voters. And he still only won by the slimmest of margins.

      Neoliberalism also means free movement of people. That means jobs leaving the country for super low wages. And immigrants some with temporary visas, staying longer.

      Trump lost the popular vote. He won due to the undemocratic system that exists in the US. (As well as the incredible ability of the Democratic Party to lose elections.)

      Casey Cushing PC is dominant on the internet. You can take one moment, record it and have millions of people believe this is a big issue. Post enough of this and you get the Raise of people who fell for the illusion that PC culture is a problem when it was a small percentage of this actually happening. It's not based in really that why people who live on the internet see this as an issue.
