The biggest accomplishment of neoliberalism has been to completely desegregate the perception of leftism from its core ideals. People are so brainwashed that they will make a blatantly left statement and preface it with "I'm not political, but...." or "I'm definitely not a leftist, but..." and then proceed to bitch about the accumulation of wealth by the capitalist class and how it's the root of so many of our problems. It's honestly amazing. You gotta hand it to them, they did a great job.

    In some sense it is since we haven't had any strategies that have overcome it, but we don't control the means of education and mediation so it's a tall order.
