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.

saying this is like saying the caterpillar and the butterfly are not the same. that's true, but one thing leads to the other. saying it like this minimizes the dangers of neoliberalism.

It only leads to the other if we let it. And we let it.

Come on we let it, this happened in 16 as well. It's so corrupt though the ranks it's disgusting. Folks like you who can get media attention should call out the DNC vote tampering, so if anyone let it it's you and other wealthy folks who pretend they care. That's Fd up.

Yes, Marianne. You let that happen by voting for it. If you vote for Biden, you are letting it happen.

You let neoliberalism flourish by voting democrat, without calling them out on their BS and playing the lesser of two evils BS that has paralyzed the enactment of progressive policy for FAR too long. #NeverBiden #NeverTrump

It's designed to lead to the other. It serves no other purpose. "This bear trap only snaps shut on my ankle if I let it"

Neoliberalism is what gave us Trump. He's a direct result of 40 years of shitty policy and crapping on the working class. "More of the same" cannot be the solution when neoliberalism is what caused the problem in the first place.

We let it? Democrats crushed our movement to make sure we never had a chance at escaping it

It seems to me that its whole design is to be a subtle evil, designed to trick us into "letting it" pave the way for the unsubtle evils of fascism. It's not less bad *than* fascism... it's the propaganda arm *of* fascism. Kinda like the KKK Symphony Orchestra (really a thing!).

i agree, we cannot let it and it is easier to get rid of the caterpillar. it's just that in a world where most ppl don't rly get why neoliberalism is so deadly, i would've emphasized that there are matters of degree & causality here, in add. to making clear that it's not the same
