That’s a part of the lie that “capitalism is inevitable.”
Incorrect. Capitalism was practically everywhere in the 70s when Neoliberalism came onto the scene. It was already there. Neoliberalism is a logical development within capitalism as capitalism reaches the highest possible productivity achievable with it.
There is nothing super special about Neoliberalism when you look at the way the world was before the new deal and Italian fascism.
I never claimed that neoliberalism is what gave us capitalism. What’s with people arguing against points I never made?
I said claiming that “we would have neoliberalism one way or another” is a part of the lie that “capitalism is inevitable.” Nothing you said refutes that.
but if we didn’t have Reagan or Thatcher
Great man/woman theory.
Not at all. Heads of state of influential world superpowers absolutely have a disproportionate effect on the development of the world for decades and even generations after their time in office.
If you can’t see that, then I guess you believe the world is purely deterministic and human choice doesn’t matter, so then I guess you’re also a nihilist who says we shouldn’t vote or fight for climate action or even resist fascism, because apparently the people in power don’t matter, and human choices don’t matter, so why the fuck should anyone try to make a difference anyway?
I guess we can’t hold anyone in power accountable for the results of their decisions, because that would be “great man/woman” fallacy, right? Let’s all stay in bed and drink ourselves into comas, because capitalism and neoliberalism aren’t the results of human choices, but somehow some inevitable part of existence itself.
