General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Please, please stop spreading the lie that Brexit was to fight against neoliberalism [View all]The economic policies that have spurred global unrest are not conservative policies. They are neoliberal. It is typical for so-called "centrist" Democrats to try to frame everything in terms of the conservative enemy. In the case of social justice...those ARE conservative problems. Neoliberalism is an economic agenda.
And yes. I blame economic liberals, because their economic policies are what widens the economic and class gaps.
Also, nowhere will you find me saying that bigotry and xenophobia did not play a part. That's actually an important point. The neoliberal economic disasters hit all sides, except, of course the 1%. Social conservatives are also affected, and are also rising up against the establishment.
We can get rid of neoliberalism, or we can continue to undermine our own support, while feeding the rise of fascism on the conservative right.
