Fifty years ago, I joined in protests against the Vietnam war. Today the mainstream media is smearing pro-Palestine student protests in ways that are even worse than how we were slandered back then.
Neoliberalism is all about reducing the power that the mechanisms controlled by the vote have over the power of money (i.e. less regulation, less oversight, less “interference in the Market”) - it’s an ideology that seeks to reduce the State - including the State controlled by voters in Democracy - leaving Money as the only Power, or in other words: Oligarchy.
Both main parties in the US are hard right, it’s just that Democrats are pushing for Oligarchy - were Money has total liberty and those who don’t have most of the Money and the Assets it buys are constrained in their choices by those who have - whilst Republican are pushing for Fascism - were the State still has supremacy over Money but it’s not controlled by citizens via their elected representatives.
There is no political “center” in the US, there are only two forms of hard-right that differ in how much freedom Money has, not in how much freedom citizens have.
