Happy Black History Month from the Military Industrial Complex

I know what you mean.

To go a littler further because I just hit a bong. Liberalism is the idea that individuals can make decisions for themselves and that can guide society. French, American and English Revolutions were based in liberalism. Science, rationality, democracy, capitalism, profit sharing, public education, voting, psychology, even the idea of trusting your own observations and the act of seeking an explanation or further education is liberalism. Capitalism is a part of liberalism, not the other way around.

Neoliberalism is the idea that the state is inefficient at producing good results for the citizens so more (whatever the rich want to steal) must be allocated to 'the people' in order to preserve their (whatever lie they think we'll believe). We all know those tax dollars go into politician's companies and their friends companies through shady no-bid contracts. The effect of neoliberalism has been to disenfranchise voters by reducing their ability to govern themselves while empowering business interests to govern in their place. Trickle down, bailouts, government subsidies, tax breaks for corporations, Reagan destroying public mental institutions causing a wave of homelessness to hit the cities in the 80s and 90s just in time for prime time TV crime scares, government projects turned over to private companies instead of creating government programs, refusal to regulate Wall Street, anti-regulation, anti government, anti community, anti social. Or just neoliberalism.
