It seems like reaganism and neoliberalism is proving itself to be the worst ideology ever.
At least previous generations of American politicians before the 60s and 70s were just in bed with the bourgeois. Now they're literally the same.
Teddy Roosevelt was an imperialist and capitalist and evil but he knew that business couldn't over take everything and so he busted the trusts.
Now fucking trump coin and don jr working with betting companies there's zero fucking separation. These fuckers literally cannot run a country
This is this natural end point of capitalism, with the state being directly controlled by people whose only goal is to increase their capital, thus destroying the state.
Something something the state naturally withers away under capitalism
It's wild to me, less than a 100 years ago the US government with the new deal did the greatest act of self preservation and attempt to kill socialism in the US. And they're acting like they can just coast off something from the 1940s.
Like at least the capitalist politicians of my grandparents knew they had to do shit to preserve capitalism and the state so socialist revolution doesn't happen.
They gave up in the 70s
It would be so easy to. Just make housing and healthcare and they could probably keep capitalism going in America for like an extra 50 years.
But they refuse to do it.
The first liberals competed against the past, the incumbent forces of feudalism. Later they were energized by the effort to suppress the socialist future. Now after several generations of uncut capitalist realism, the mortality of capitalism is completely inconceivable to them. Every acknowledgment of the spiraling disrepair is merely a psychological attack on the entrepreneurial spirit.
It doesn't help that the American worker is cowed like a whipped dog. Completely stripped of militancy. You can't even win a fucking union vote.
