"This is how the MAGACOMMUNISTS work as the kayfabe opposition of the Destiny/Vaush twitch streamer psyops. They act like the characatures of "tankies" created in a Democratic Party lab would to sheepdog the compatible left back into the democrats & communists into the far right."

    Not even that big of a welfare state. Just pasty reforms at best and even then they don't really advocate or lobby for them.

      Well at this point the McCarthyist brain rotting programs during the cold war probably move the goalpost so much that for Americans the English NHS is literally Stalinism

        No, but seriously, the stuff they want is paltry in comparison.

          What I describe as ''welfare state'' is basically Classical liberal theory from England developped during the 19th century. The premise is not even communistic in nature, it's literally what is prescribe by Statist to implement Macro-economics within their countries

              Neoliberalism is just the end result of a State-Capitalist state unable to cope with the falling rate of profit of the private and public sectors and the increasing wage of the working state. The bargaining they propose is the destruction of their country's industrial economy, the outsourcing to asia and the transformation of the working class into a lending class

                Also, neoliberalism has changed since the 1970s, or at least has been doing that for sometime, as Cheng Enfu has said.

                It is much like how Keynesianism is not the same thing as it was during the 30s and 40s.
