Donald Trump’s trade war means that we’re entering a qualitatively new phase in the history of capitalism. Yet the new economic order taking shape will be just as “globalist” as the neoliberal regime it’s supplanting.
Neoliberalism is just a fascist gateway drug. Fascism Lite, all the corporate rule half the stigma. This is just the eventuality of the last forty years.
Words have definitions. There are these things called dictionaries that people can find these definitions in. In super short context its a far right ideology brought to mainstream politics by notable figures like Pinochet, Ronald Reagan and Margret Thatcher. Later embraced by Bill Clinton during the neoliberal takeover of the democratic party at the time when they turned their backs on the unions and people in favor of corporations and bankers. Neoliberalism differs from classical and social liberalism in that it is about freeing capital and not people. The article below explains all this in greater detail than I’m going to get into.
It is important to remember that just because a word shares the root liber latin for free these ideoligies differ greatly in their application and meaning and history.
In short. Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. And most politicians since then in the west. It has been a bipartisan policy of economics in the US since Reagan (and arguably started by Carter).
I’m not Maiq, but neoliberalism is mainly a conservative economics rebrand attempt similar to “classical liberalism”, which was first used before the second world war, which also lead to at least Austria’s economy crashing and then being taken over by Hitler.

Downvote me, but please describe what “neoliberalism” means to you?

Buddy, you have to be vaguely part of the conversation to troll effectively.
I know right, this trolling attempt is like watching a monkey try to fsck a football.
Can you, in a few words, sum up what you don’t agree with in the comment you’re replying to?
netanyahu didn’t write it.
What an eloquent response.

And how does that apply here by example except for this assertion I’m a comment?
Putting vague names on things to describe your feelings about something is SOOOOOOO 1998neofasciliberalism
