    Hmmm How did the rest of the Patton’s quote go?

    “We may have been fighting the wrong enemy (Germany) all along. But while we're here (on the Soviet border), we should go after the bastards now, 'cause we're gonna have to fight 'em eventually.“

    I wonder why the neoliberal here didn’t mention the entire quote.

      As far as I'm concerned now there's no discernible difference between neoliberalism and fascism outside of the aesthetics at this point. The USA is a fascist country cooked up in a neoliberal laboratory and the monster they made is going to kill them.

      If we were to try to compile an exhaustive list of people, animals and inanimate objects that George Patton referred to at one time or another as "the bastards", we'd probably be here for days.
