The Global South would like a word with you over this opinion Marianne.

It is laying the groundwork for neo fascism. It's not two separate things they are heavily intermingled. Resorting to fascism is entirely a power consolidation move from neoliberals who no longer even try for a popular mandate via reasonable policy benefits

But it is tho

Not giving people M4A during a pandemic is fascism. Not putting a moratorium on rent and mortgage during a pandemic is fascism. Not giving people a UBI during a pandemic is fascism. These are things that the neoliberals won’t give us.

It’s just a slower way of getting us to the same place

Neoliberalism is what gave path to fascism; its necessary pre-condition. In other words: Neoliberalism and fascism go hand in hand. In order to prevent the entrenchment of rising fascism in the United States, we need to get rid of Neoliberalism.

Neoliberalism expanded income inequality and war/the MIC under Obama. Tbh that is what woke a lot of people up. Not Trump. That is where we started complaining, agitating, and organizing. We know it enables fascism and it's why we refuse to go back to jt

It's no better to victims of US foreign policy.

Biden is not putting in the effort to persuade Progressives. Ex: adding Buttigieg to his transition team. He would have pulled more water by adding someone like Serota or Gray. He’s clueless as to how to win this election. I don’t have much hope anymore.

We are no longer in the 20th century, so we should entertain the idea that fascism doesn't manifest as Hitler's or Muosillini. At the heart of it, fascism is about hoarding power to control the people to the point where it infiltrates all aspects of life. Corporatists are it.
