In fact sort of behavior has a name in law enforcement and criminal justice. It's called "punitive" enforcement. On the one hand, it is mindset of some that join law enforcement, and it is also a result of a punitive culture in some departments that is at least condoned by superiors and supervisors.
So, there are two factors operative. One is sadistic disposition, and the other is control through fear and intimidation.
In liberal society, these are generally considered signs of fascism.

Cops in France brutalize high school students who join Yellow Vest protests

“Macron’s neoliberal reform of the national education system is aimed at increasing school fees and tightening university entrance selection in order to further exclude children from low-income families.”
Macron’s overall goal is to steadily advance the privatization of universities, so that French students will have to borrow from bankers in order to go to school, just like in the USA. Macron is also privatizing France’s health care system.
Absolutely everything Macron does is designed to squeeze more money out of France’s 67 million people in order to keep paying the bankers, and to keep pleasing the unelected and unaccountable European Commission in Brussels.
If you don’t like these neoliberal attacks, and you are an American, then right-wingers call you a “Communist.” If you talk about escaping from prison and from slavery, then you are a “Communist," and you are probably also a homosexual, trans-sexual, a feminist, a Muslim-lover, an immigrant-lover, and a member of Antifa.
On the other side, if you don’t like these neoliberal attacks, then left-wingers call you a “fascist." For leftist Americans the only important things are "homophobia," "male privilege," "white privilege," "toxic masculinity," and #MeToo.
As you can see, both sides serve neoliberalism and rich oligarchs.

If neoliberalism means government privileges for the banks then how many MMT advocates are also servants of neoliberalism?
After all, doesn't the government-enabled ability of the banks to create huge amounts of bank deposits compete with the government's ability to deficit spend for a given amount of price inflation?
One cannot serve two masters, can one?
I agree. MMT is useless without populist banking reform.

From the Steve Roth article:

So for every dollar in deficit spending from 1973 - 2014, the government-privileged usury cartel created about $.91 in deposits.
This will only end when the police and military stand with citizens instead of against them.
I'm not sure that will ever happen.
MMT isn’t a movement of this or that. It’s an understanding of how the economy works and what can be or not be achieved in within the economy.
