#reagan — Public Fediverse posts

#Reagan and #Thatcher will be remembered for lighting the match that set fire to the powder trail leading to the barrel of black powder yet to explode, but they did not manufacture that match out of thin air. It was an organisation that produced the *RoadMap* for them both and self-interests did the rest.

“At his first cabinet meeting as president in 1981, Reagan distributed copies of Mandate for Leadership, whose 3,000 pages came out of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative research group in Washington, DC. This became the ideology of neoliberalism, which advocated a smaller state, industry deregulation, tax cuts, strengthened defence, and roll-back of social engineering. A year later, 60 per cent of the Mandate’s proposals had been adopted by the Reagan administration, and The New York Times called it ‘the manifesto of the Reagan revolution’. His initiative engaged Thatcher, and spread globally to dominate public policy in democracies around the world.”

The same **Heritage Foundation** is behind #tRump ‘s two terms as #POTUS. If you didn’t know before, it’s all about #NeoLiberalism a combination of #Libertarianism and #Neo-Classical #EconomicTheory sure to please the #Rich and #Entitled in any society.

They get to control the remedies! Decide the efficacy! Dictate to other media companies!
This is no settlement, it's a bouquet of roses sent to our abuser - their stock jumped at the news.

Political differentiation is what’s needed in a political system where all parties (even the #Greens afaik) are content to work with the current #Economic system which is stuck in a 40 year old dogma; that markets know best (aka #NeoClassical or #NeoLiberal economic hogwash clearly debunked twice since the #Thatcher and #Reagan anathema on #WealthEquity , #SocialLicence and #SocialDemocracy).

Otherwise the electorate would wake up to the con job the polies perpetrate.

And 100% on #FirstNations and #TorresStraightIslanders, all players in the political arena have #Abandonned them as a result of #TheVoice debacle (thank you #Anthony for doing fuck all to make sure the referendum passed, it clearly showed whose side you’re on #AlboPM )

I’m fucking sick of all polies and their lies, redirections, misdirections and disinformation. I can see no way out of this except 1) a mother of all global financial crash, or 2) people’s revolutions worldwide, or 3) both. We’ve been taken for a ride for far too long IMO.

*#Reagan's 1987 Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade*

(8/10)

...#RonaldReagan's trade policy with #DonaldTrump's stance on #Tariffs:

"I love tariffs. Most beautiful word, but I'm not allowed to say that anymore. Tariff is my favourite word. I love the word tariff. We're becoming rich as hell..."

speaking at the Marine Corps Base in #Quantico.
