It defeats itself. No books, just open your eyes.

>>15057756
You don't. Neoliberalism is extremely based and irrefutable from its sheer ingeniousness

Yes he won three elections.

His party are the major opposition in British politics, yet without him they haven't won an election since James Callaghan in 1979 lmao

>>15058765
britain is a majority fundamentally conservative country, nothing new there

>>15058765
He is also completely reviled and Labour's attempt at a centrist candidate (Ed Miliband) did shit too. Labour doesn't need to be getting nostalgic about Blair, Labour needs to be thinking about why Boris is winning.

Tbh if it weren't for the whole Iraq shenanigans, Blair would still be extremely popular. He really did nothing wrong besides that.

You say that like it's a bad thing. It creates a pool of low-cost workers that help British companies thrive.

>>15058851
Despite the odd public protestation, Tories love cheap foreign labour. It was the reason they joined the EU in the first place.

>>15058862

>>15058875
tories love it, tory voters (and members) dont

>>15057756

>>15058862
Yeah and thanks to that now millions of British people get to be among the pool of low cost workers that exist to help British companies.

>>15058913
No shit. The objective of neoliberalism is never to help people, only corporations as people, ie contractual property between individuals. Those without productive property(no not your house) are not People under the law.

they don't care about anything besides money and further stuffing society down a trash compactor until all traditional insitutions of it are either completely destroyed or warped

>>15058651
wow, good taste

Read any introductory book on American Government

>until all traditional insitutions of it are either completely destroyed or warped

You know, the traditional institutions argument never tells me how natural resources will be managed, or if they will be managed well. Take the dust bowl: a large cause was the overuse of the soil by families of farmers, who's tradition since their forefathers practiced raping the land and moving on once nothing was left to exploit.

So here's one thing I don't get about lefties in America. They have ostensibly positioned themselves against the neoliberal orthodoxy as it stands, and are quick to call out neoliberal politicians like Hillary and Biden. But massive unchecked immigration is more or less supported in neoliberal thought, as it weakens the political power and financial earnings of the native-born working class. Bernie even said it was a Koch brother idea in 2015. Yet many leftists and sjws in America essentially want this, calling for a halt to deportations. How do they reconcile these two seemingly opposite ideas?

>>15059324
It's the manufacture of consent, bro. The wealthiest class control the media and education as their greatest weapons. They're introduced to "socialism" as it has been filtered through these. That is a vague humanitarian concern for others, not a serious critique of the present state of affairs.

>>15059324
They don't "reconcile" them. It's pure irrational group think at this point. I have a theory that the real reason for the rise of serious Third Position ideologies again after a century is that it turns out even Leftist thought is able to be absorbed by Capital. The problem Mark Fisher posed in Capitalist Realism, of Capitals ability to subsume everything to its interests might be only defeated through ideologies that are unconcerned with material factors per se. Ie, You can buy off Leftists, but you can't buy off Uncle Ted & psycho-Nazi O9A death cultists or even absorb them properly into the spectacle. I think this explains Nick Land having gone around the "horseshoe" from being a Leftist to his own version of Third Position, it's the only place left to go where new thought uncorrupted by Capitals interests can arise.

>>15058862
lol wow

The True and Only Heaven by Christopher Lasch. We need to reexamine the artisan and workers' movements of the 19th Century to fine values alternative and an economic model alternative to the neoliberal paradigm

Jesus imagine having this worldview

>>15057756
Probably the only way would be to some how permanently cripple the ability to maintain an industrial economy. I do not think this is feasible. It is too late, it is all strip malls, multilane highways and atomization from here on out, most likely.

>>15061637

I thank God that people like you shall never be able to effectuate their will in this world.
