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.

Just because it isn't "just as bad" for you doesn't mean it isn't "just as bad" for others. I am tired of people as privileged as you denying/minimizing the tremendous amount of suffering under neoliberalism because it doesn't threaten your personal comfort.

Certainly neoliberalism is not “just as bad” as fascism. (Maybe someone misunderstood some terms?) However, the new faux-left impulse to compel speech & mindless agreement w/slogans; & its outgrowth “cancel culture” is fascism’s cousin. Really.

That's like saying a bullet isn't the same thing as a gun, ma'am. While technically correct, they work hand in hand

It is literally part of Fascism, as Pelosi made very clear, by enabling Trump.

There’s a strong argument that could be made that neoliberalism is fascism, and the only reason why we don’t call it as such because we allowed Reagan and Thatcher to pretend that it was anything other than fascism.

You are incorrect. It is a fascist ideology. It is authoritarian, protects corporate profits and power, promotes war, and requires a permanent underclass exists that therefore must be demonized. You are unable to admit it because you have profited within this system.

Agreed. Im with Angela Davis who says this isnt an election abt who can lead, but abt who can be pushed to carve out space to move progressivism fwd. Under fascism they'll disappear us and our families S American style. Trump is already doing trial runs. They are preparing.

Neoliberalism is a framework created and used by Entities that want to maintain the Global control of the most important source of energy- Oil, and force all Global participants to circulate it under the USPetroDollar- which is owned & controlled by the Federal Reserve of America

Neoliberalism is Corporate Fascism. We've lived with it for decades. Although it can easily turn into Authoritarian Fascism it is not Authoritarian Fascism itself. Return America to the Lesser of Two Evils Vote for Joe. I mean that.
