    Great breakdown. Polls show people want progressive policies. However that goes against Capital interests which are the main concern of neoliberalism.

      Indeed.

      Four step process to uncontested neoliberal corporate bliss…

      1. Set up a folk-devil who must be stopped at all costs.
      2. Promote the idea that anyone even vaguely progressive must vote for you even if they disagree with you, in order to keep the folk-devil out.
      3. Promise to support literal genocide, and watch as your scheme has self-identified leftists falling over themselves spending the majority of their energy in-fighting with other leftists to ensure you have the power to make good on that promise.
      4. Enjoy your retirement on million dollar public speaking engagements and corporate executive positions.
