Bernie vs neoliberalism

---

The planet is faltering in the face of relentless corporate plunder; and billionaires are tightening their stranglehold on public policy and violence & fascism, is spreading around the globe;

The 40 year neoliberal assault has been defined by these trends, and this ruling ideology oversaw the greatest upward redistribution of wealth in the history of this country. Largely – of course – on the backs of the working class and the poorest most vulnerable among us.

In the world upside down, this morally bankrupt logic -the government’s only job, it seemed, was to create optimal conditions for corporate profit, to privatize everything in sight and to sell off every inch of the commonwealth.
Maximize corporate profits at all costs
It would be a perfect system if there were no human beings.

But as Bernie told us, those free markets, well, they ain’t so free.

But corporate welfare was alive and well.

Socialize the risk privatize the profits-- A social contract based on fear, cruelty and greed,

like the gangsters in the movies-
fuck you pay me- that economy This whole deadly political circus is about greed.
Unchecked capitalism is the issue, class is the issue
