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.

Correct. We need to tone down the rhetoric. And get a grip on reality.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Where's your proof? I'd point to brown shirt brigades ordering raised "fists of solidarity" of restaurant patrons as evidence that neoliberalism has already lead directly to facism.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Whatever it is we need to have more effective measures. Who has the research on what works to get our elected representatives represent us?
Replying to @marwilliamson
It's not the same thing but I think it is a true gateway to fascism as it seems to always take the position of willing compromise no matter what the opposing stance is
Replying to @marwilliamson
They said that about the Weimar Republic.
Replying to @marwilliamson
You're right is not the same, we can only conclude is Neofascism.
Replying to @marwilliamson
There is no difference. Either one was not the plan for this nation. The constitution states a land by the people and for the people not by the corporate state or a head of state. So disappointing, but it's all an education in power.

Conservativism isn’t fascism either
Replying to @marwilliamson
It’s been all corporate fascism since Reagan. That’s the distinction.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Ohhh yes it is. Without neo="liberalism" (really just extreme conservatism under another label), you don't get fascism.
