    The entire raison d’etre of Neoliberalism was to reduce the Power of the State (and hence the power of voters, who elect who controls it) below the Power of Money - leaving just about everything to “the Market” with “non-interventionism” and “deregulation” is really just another way to say that the State should not exercise any power over Money and thus leave Money to be the highest Power.

    In other words, Democracy has been destroyed, not by wars or revolutions but by being hallowed out into a meaningless performance (the vote) for control of a lesser power, all thanks to Corruption, Propaganda and Subversion by insiders.

    It feels like Feudalism because it is Feudalism, just with better image management.
