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.

Neoliberalism may not be fascism, strictly speaking, but neither is Trumpism, strictly speaking. Both coddle the Oligarchy & are "tuff on crime" & hate/fear Leftists. Trump&Oligarchy def don't want to eliminate our Pretend Democracy, cuz they own both parties Political Hyperbole

Neoliberalism is capitalism. Capitalism leads to competition. Competition causes domination. Domination results in fascism. Not hard.

Did Trump prosecute Snowden, Manning or Assange? All they did was to expose the police state we live in. If that is not fascism, I don’t know what it is. Marianne, please open your eyes.

The merger of corporate and state power is fascism. That's exactly what neoliberalism is.
Replying to @marwilliamson
It just leads to fascism.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Fascism is the natural progression of neoliberalism. Question for you @marwilliamson: Which of these two houses would like to live in?
