  1. #Reaganism needs to be pulled up by the roots.

    45+ years of failure upon failure while their lackey losers lap up its lies.

  2. We got
    40+ years of failure
    from
    Morning in America
    to
    Mourning for America

  3. RE: archaeo.social/@rcosta/1165568

    THIS!
    one of the best discussions about God happened in my #biology 101 class at #UPR #RíoPiedras.

    in 1984, i entered college in Puerto Rico. the world had already 4 years of fascist #reaganism. we were LIVING the first wave of attacks on science from #GOP #republicans as college n00bs.

    our profe didn't shy away from the question. as a good #Vatican2 #catholic, he described it as the mystery of the universe, as the unknown before the Big Bang & evolution. #science made his #faith stronger.

  4. If you’re an MMT‘er, this is one podcast you do not want to miss. I for one am looking forward to the next one.

    If you are a neoclassical or neoliberal economist then watching this pod cast is likely to screw with your brain, so be warned even though I huighly recommend you watch it.

    Our economic systems are built on false assumptions and we need to change that because there are better ways to greater social good.

  5. @petros @HardBeingGreen @feather1952
    Don’t you know? The lower down the economic scale one’s life is positionned, the less of those neoliberal crumbs one gets.

    Current economic climate, clothed in its neoliberal boudoir robes, comprises a set of sieves with the coarsest of them at the bottom. Little wonder two third of the world is underfed if not altogether starving to death. There has been urgent needs to purge Thacherism and Reaganism from our economic system since 2008 (in fact before that, but it wasn’t obvious enough to scare the oligarchy).

  6. am going to say this to all the knee-jerking fauxnarchist #ReplyGuys out there just waiting to jump at any opportunity to own the libs:

    SHUT THE FUCK UP

    the vast majority of the Reagan/Bush/Cheney lackeys have been behind Trump SINCE HIS DAYS OF TROLLING OBAMA ABOUT HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

    #MAGA IS #REAGANISM.

    you come to my mentions to minimize this truth so you can say the Democrats are the real fascists?

    GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT A-HISTORICAL BULLSHIT

    y’all the worse.

  7. no longer does a racist, fascist piece of shit hold the record for the longest #filibuster in the history of the United States.

    this may seem unimportant and banal but it is not. Storm Thurmond’s filibuster of the Voting Rights Act has been held up as a beacon & turning point for the fascist movement we know as #Reaganism and got rebranded as #MAGA.

    USA MEDIA ARE NOT SOUNDING THE ALARM ON TRUMP’S DESTRUCTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

    Cory Booker has now the attention of media, worldwide.

  8. UPDATE:
    "Bill Clinton [...] didn’t just bring his fellow Democrats along as he set about promoting Reaganism. He changed them fundamentally; causing them to make the Reagan agenda their own."

    just remember: there is no #Bidenomics without #Reaganism and #Clintonism.

    ===============================
    been told of Counterpunch's platforming of antisemitic writers.

  9. #USA #Capitalism #GOP #Republicans #MarketFailures #Reaganism: "Nearly forty years ago, US President Ronald Reagan summed up the Republican party mindset with his proclamation that “the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” Markets, not politicians, knew best, and the more power the private sector had relative to the public one, the better.

    Not so these days. Consider conservative presidential primary contender Vivek Ramaswamy during the recent Republican debates. Responding to former vice-president Mike Pence’s insistence that Americans (and implicitly the party) didn’t need a new identity or new solutions, Ramaswamy snapped, “It is not morning in America. We live in a dark moment, and we have to confront the fact . . .”

    Some Republicans are talking as much about market failures as solutions these days. Consider the on-again, off-again Trump-supporting conservative columnist Sohrab Ahmari, whose recent book, Tyranny, Inc: How Private Power Crushed American Liberty — and What To Do About It, has been praised by progressives."

  10. Het kapitalistische denken drenkt door tot alle haarvaten van ons stelsel. Media koppen zonder nadenken dat de spoorwegen "verliesgevend" zijn - alsof iedere nutsvoorziening van de overheid winstgevend zou moeten zijn. Ook 'verliesgevend' zijn natuurbescherming, wegenbouw, mantelzorg, onderwijs. Dat is normaal bij diensten van algemeen nut - geen reden om te saneren. #kapitalisme #Reaganism #Spoorwegen #Bezuinigingen

  11. Too often, there’s confusion about how #wages became decoupled from #productivity gains, how #CorporateResponsibility became a thing of the past, how every facet of #American life came to be #monetized by the #FinancialIndustry

    May I present #MiltonFriedman & the #FriedmanDoctrine of 1970.

    “…there is one and only one social responsibility of business—to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud.”

    To give him his due, he probably did not foresee the full capture of #government by corporations, which let them change those “rules of the game” - gutting worker & environmental protections and allowing #monopolies to rise again.

    His work was used to give cover to #Reaganism, #Thatcherism and all that has followed. 😑

  12. There's a lesson the GOP must learn
    From the Nikki Haley concern
    It once held Reagan true
    But it all fell threw
    Cause her GOP bid was quite a curn

  13. CW: re: The three major boosters leading to the rise of global #authoritarianism today:

    @JanKooy

    2000s: misguided and astronomically costly "war on terror" deprives major democracies of moral high ground, esp. in authoritarian #propaganda.

    (Bonus theme: since 1980s #Reaganism, the '#neocons' (see above) and the unhingeness of the far-right that followed)

    2/2

  14. I boosted this article by @ThomHartmann yesterday, but it deserves another boost. Our predatory economic practices have created the largest wealth inequality our nation has ever faced, and with it a huge threat to our democracy. We can save our democracy by stopping this madness that accelerated because of Reagan (one of our most dangerous presidents). I voted against him both times.

  15. @dredmorbius I'm intrigued to know what aspects of my #CounterCulture / #Reaganism dialectic thesis you disagree with and why.
