    yeah a lot of them don't understand that neoliberalism = reaganomics/thatchernomics of privatization, deregulation, and austerity. They just take the word at face value "liberalism, but new" (which itself is hilarious given that liberalism as an ideology dates back centuries and is associated closely with european colonialism and the emergence of the nation state out of the feudal paradigm.)

    so they think their stale ass succdem politics of "what if we saved capitalism from itself by doing New Deal 2.0" is compatible with the sub's founding ethos of doing Reaganomics with a #BLM bumper sticker. Actually scratch that. They've already peeled off their BLM bumper stickers.
