Occasionally some people have to touch the stove to remember that it’s hot
Neoliberalism will be back in short order
Just listened to a podcast that suggested it’s already here with the MAHA movement
The silver lining is that we may be poised for an unprecedented backlash against protectionism.
BUT Trump is a neoliberal in some respect - trash government programs, cut taxes, and eliminate regulations that businesses hate.
On trade though, he is a mercantilist, but then, so is China.
There are a lot of leftists & tankies who who had accelerationist takes that Trump would speed up the arrival of the Revolution & wanted him to win, so it would be kinda funny if the end result ends up being a boon to center-left neoliberalism.
Tbh there is a huge opportunity for someone to win now promising no tariffs on $20k cars made by BYD and Xiaomi.
Yeah except voters want everything. They want bear police to protect against bears but then they get angry about the bear tax.
Looks more like Dems should embrace 90s style Clintonism (which I think you mentioned awhile back)!
We just might have a golden age of center to center-left politics over the next few decades. 
Neoliberalism seems as popular in the Demcratic Party as Conservatism in the Republican Party. The populists and central planners seem to dominate American politics.
Hopefully whoever will revive neoliberalism's popularity won't make the same mistakes Obama and Biden did.
Amazing to see left wing People and politicians defending free trade, maybe Donnie is doing a great job promoting free markets.
Is there a way to sell this outcome to trump and MAGA? Like, can we just let them think they did 4D chess on the world when everyone goes globalist reactionary?
Next presidential election could well be socialism vs neoliberalism. Which party takes which role is anyone’s guess though…
Do you consider Neoliberalism and Globalism to be fairly interchangeable terms?
Instead of going back to the ideology whose failures produced Trump in the first place maybe we can move past it further left?
Awesome take.
Just like Trump is going to be good for Canada because it's been such an invigorating wake up call.
Bill Clinton is looking so good, even though Biden was the most consequential in my lifetime who actually focused on revitalizing American manufacturing and supply chains without offshoring, middle class tax hikes, crashing the markets, and tearing up trade alliances.
who gives a shit what the mid-grade american thinks about industrial policy
we live in a REPUBLIC -- they get a say when they vote
leaders gonna lead and build shit
they can take their credits to the mall to see what we've made
What if he actually IS playing 4D chess, and this is the goal? Knowing that liberals will automatically support anything anti-Trump.
