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.

It enabled fascism, so it may as well be.

It's capitalism for the privileged. It's laissez-faire politics when you already got yours.

You have to pick a definition. In the broad sense of racist undemocratic collusion of capitalism and state, neoliberalism is indeed fascist. In the narrow sense of a Mussolini or Hilter mass arresting and executing political opponents and invading neighbors, even Trump isn't one.

300+ replies all making the same point without any explanation of the mechanism behind it or offer of alternative. So convinced there exists an influence campaign to neuter the left with absolute nihilism. “I prefer my fascists straight up”😌

Salute with them now! Because they are not fascists

No, but it always leads to it. Almost like clogging a toilet will always lead to a room full of shit.
