Politics is the struggle to enslave others, or to avoid being enslaved by others. Neoliberalism is all about enslaving others. Neoliberalism is pure politics. <br /><br />Neoliberals pretend that they are free of politics. They pretend that the 1% must enslave the 99% because, mathematically speaking, “there is no alternative.” <br /><br />Therefore, when neoliberals falsely claim that “Social Security is unsustainable,” their <i><b>politically motivated LIE </b></i> is just “mathematics.” <br /><br />The U.S. Empire does not wage wars of aggression. Instead, the Empire engages in “kinetic actions” for “humanitarian reasons.” Likewise, neoliberalism is not about politics. Instead, neoliberalism is about “market forces.” <br /><br />Neoliberals favor “free markets” -- i.e. neoliberals seek freedom to own and control markets via monopolies. <br /><br /><b>War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, and politics is finished.</b>Konradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739209449391854796noreply@blogger.com
