The neoliberal model of capitalism hit the rocks in 2008 and has stagnated ever since. Multibillionaire tech oligarchs dominate Western society. Meanwhile, China, a state-directed economy, has continued to grow while transforming itself into the world’s leading manufacturer of high-tech goods and infrastructure, dispelling the notion that the Western liberal model of development is the only one that can succeed.
And then there is the decline of liberal politics. Far-right parties are quickly moving from the role of insurgents to that of chieftains in many Western countries. Even where centrists cling to power, they are increasingly shedding their own association with liberal political values.
Yeah the whole Reaganomics social experiment failed 20 years after it started and we just kept feeding the beast because the rich elites have convinced us through an the media they own that this is what’s best for us.
Wolves in sheep’s clothing.
It’s time we organize and kick these bastards to the curb and take their money.
