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.

You're aiming a losing message at people with very little political power. All focus should be on getting the Dems to show the people they'll do something real for them. Get Joe on stage and get him to properly address health/climate/cops as if his audience aren't idiots.

I would say that neoliberalism is the economic version of fascism. The merging of Government and private industry.

I agree with @marwilliamson Fascism is here breathing down our necks and the neo liberals as vile as some may think them are actively fighting it and him. By default it is not the same otherwise they would run together. Vote Biden please or be preped for Ivanka or Trump Jr 2024.

If (neo)liberalism–or any political philosophy–insists upon itself (through propaganda, dispossession of democracy, and/or force) it has become fascism. In context, this is the same false delineation that the @DNC uses to peddle their demi-fascism.

Marianne, you're barking up the wrong tree. We're entering a lost decade either way. You would help people far more by teaching them how to organize so they can save themselves. Millions of people are going to be homeless in the winter. We need aid orgs that aren't means tested.

And what governing policy led to said fascism?

Actually, I think it's worse. People unite against fascism but support neoliberal agendas that result in war crimes, environmental destruction, and the systematic annhilattion of human rights
