It's always been about first principles, neoliberals believe any policy that limits, constrains, or disempowers workers is a public good, their reasons for believing this demonic nonsense varies tho they fit into three main categories; people who believe liberal theory, people who are cynical and power mad, and dumbasses who take the propaganda at face value, the rest are just a combination of these three tendencies

Of course you can't say this shit out loud outside of fundraiser parties because its terrible OPTICS, so they marry the marketing industry and the smart university trained theorists among them attempt to create a fictional division between social and economic conditions as if that makes any sense

These people are wearing masks, they do not believe in empowering workers and they do not believe in progressive change, the majority of them are more cynical than the most doomer-pilled posadist, with a mindset like that, losing under the banner of "the left" becomes a virtue
