“Both New Deal liberals and the British social democrats pitched their egalitarian ideas on the grounds that political freedom was inadequate without some #economic security—a basic assumption that has a long history on the left. Economic freedom, as constructed by #neoliberals was a hollow concept because it was beyond so many people's reach. As Keith Tribe has argued, in Hayek's discussion of the pernicious influence of the German statist tradits (which stemmed back to Bismarck and the Prussian Rechtsstaat), he refuse to credit political reformers attempts to address the stark realities of life during the Industrial Revolution.'" The center of gravity for #liberals in the last part of the nineteenth century, moved from a concern about the potential for harm in government regulation and intervention to a conviction that necessary social reform entailed improving the lot of the mass of people affected by industrial #capitalism ‘s savage inequalities. Without economic freedom, political or civil rights meant substantively little. The neoliberals also believed that political and civil freedom were not enough. But for them the linkage was defined by the freedom of the individual in the marketplace to buy and sell as she pleased. Here we have another fundamental difference between the value placed on the #market as the deliverer of #freedom and the idea that the market presents an obstacle to freedom whose harshest effects must be blunted so that freedom might flourish--between negative and positive #liberty as Isaiah Berlin famously presented the division.”

To please the #BCA, they’d have us completely #Deregulate everything. The fact they are clamouring for it reinforces the fact that we do not regulate enough IMO.

Our corrupted governments are actively using crazy-making, psychological abuses & manipulations on citizens. I'm not talking about sci-fi fictions. They're combining these state abuses with stripping away basic human rights, utilizing eugenics policies, criminalizing public dissent & investing on more police militarization.
Roads to #fascism are laid by #neoliberals & other enablers who are too scared to fight back.

#BCgovernment has been failing kids for decades. Neither former BC Liberals nor our current #BCNDP actually care about children's safety or children's human rights.
Our provincial & federal governments are both enemies to children. Our corrupt, capitalist, colonial governments put their bigoted, corporate bosses & their mo-money wants over needs of children & their futures.
None of them give a damn about protecting kids or helping to provide them with any sustainable futures. All of these scumbag politicians are weak, cowardly & actively contributing to destroying kids & their futures.
Some neoliberal parents are actively aiding & abetting the politicians who are actively aiding & abetting the destruction of their own kids' futures too.
Straight fucking up.

Contrary to what #neoliberals want to make us believe:
“There is no shortage of #money. The money exists. The investment need exists. What is missing is the political will to connect the two. #Governments deliberately choose not to act.”

The author makes an argument for slow paced reform of the housing market here, but only if all other economic matters remains the same, so take it with a grain of salt.
Aside from that, there is a defence of RBA policies (largely debunked by progressive economists - Greg Jericho and Prof Richard Murphy come to mind) and pick up on the RBA blame game by criticising Govt spending (social services cost money don't you know?).
In the final analysis, our economy is run by #NeoLiberals following a completely debunked #TrickleDown paradigm and a compulsion to #DeregulateMarkets (because markets know best, right?).
The essential fact to take away is that #Neoclassical economics (aka NeoLiberal Economic theory) equals #Austerity but not for all. Hence it is inherently inequitable. The author also points to #Howard's folly, the mum & dad bank, as an electoral threat limiting govt policies but does not criticise the premisse of this very bad idea.
One thing I agree with author on is that the Australian govt budget relies too heavily on wage and salary taxes, which you would expect in a climate dominated by #unfetteredCapitalism. Who else are going to pay for all the #billionaires

The way right-wing #neoliberals have been able to game the democratic process is that when in power, they put the #economy in an unsustainable extraction mode, thus planting the seeds of it’s destruction for when they’re out of power.
They always talk in double-speak, as in they do the fiscal mistakes later blamed on the left themselves. They love #debt & drop it on their opponents like a hot potato.
They refuse to spend on institutions, let them rot, and then point to that while out of power.

@dyckron My rough understanding of #neoliberalism is that it is social liberalism mixed with fiscal conservatism. Or maybe it is closer to tokenism? Maybe #neoliberals want the appearance of being progressive while stalling, diverting, and drafting programs virtually impossible to qualify for. Or better yet, fixed quotas on the number of people being helped by a program or only helping out a population that is popular.

“14.30 AEST
Of course the #RBA did… against the better judgement of economists who are not died-in-the-wool #NeoLiberals. This rise will do nothing to stop inflation due to Stupid #tRump and his mate #Netanyahu military fling. The underlying inflation does not warrant this (according to Greg Jerocho — one of the more sensible economist driven by facts rather than mad theories). Further more, the lasat #CashRate rise has yet to show its effect on the economic numbers FFS.“RBA raises interest rates for third time in 2026
reported by Luca IttimaniThe Reserve Bank has increased its official interest rate to 4.35%, as prices rise at their fastest pace since 2023.
The RBA’s board today hiked rates for a third consecutive meeting in 2026 after increases in February and March. Rates are now back where they were at the start of 2025, with each of that year’s three rate cuts now unwound.
Today’s hike was widely expected, picked by most economists surveyed by Bloomberg. But financial markets had not fully priced in an increase, with some thinking the RBA might wait and see what the federal government does with its budget next week.” (Source: The Guardian Live)

I don’t often agree with the so-called #DemocraticSocialists because I don’t think they’re progressive enough but this is mostly on point. I say mostly because nobody should have to work 40 hours anymore due to technology. The Democratic Socialists are only slightly to the left of the #neoliberals.

Replacing one neoliberal capitalist with a younger neoliberal capitalist, only guarantees you have a younger, more energetic neoliberal capitalist. All of the above selfish neoliberals are just fine with screwing over you/other citizens & Indigenous communities - if doing so helps them to gain more backroom bribes/personal financial gains/social status benefits.
