No, neoliberalism is not “just as bad.” It is stupid. It is wrong. It is treacherous. It is fucked up. But. it. is. not. fascism.

Yes they are not the same but consider
Neoliberalism is not just as bad as fascism in the same way as feeling sick from overeating cake is just as bad as diabetes. The problem is, that overeating cake uninterrupted will inevitably lead to diabetes. That’s why it’s so important to fight back against neoliberalism too

Neoliberalism enables Fascism, and impedes the fight against it due to it's own self interests. In order to fight and win against Fascism it's necessary to first take down it's enabling allies in order to weaken it. If we don't fight Neoliberalism we won't win against Fascism.

You should read“societies of control” by Giles Deleuze. We’re arguing over the best way for the powerful to lord over us, all of which keeps us away from from arguing about what liberation is going to look like. The possibility of co-creation with our leaders & friends.

Neoliberals will always take the side of fascism, they care more about capitalism than people. So they will always do what makes them more money... if you havent realized this yet you still have some waking up to do.

I'm starting to see and feel your struggle with the left purists. We eat each other on the left and its why we always lose.

This is like saying stage 3 cancer is better than stage 4 cancer. Like, ok I guess, but you still have cancer

Disagree. It is hidden facism, cloked in pretty speeches. It is part of the reason we are here now. Another centrist looks like positive change due to the idiot in office. When truly, Biden is just more of the same.

Fascism is also an intertwining of corporate and governmental interests. Both parties are full on fascist.

Yes it is. It's fascism with a deceptive name.
