    I’m a firm believer in providing answers to why we’re here. The buck stops with power, and the rich had all the power. Neolibs did their bidding, and thus they deserve no kindness. I’m never listening to their arguments for business again. They need to be told to shut the fuck up. They have no goodwill from the public, so we don’t need to pretend to like them.

    They can be our allies because our interests might align, but we gain more by explaining why they failed than by letting them have respect. We need to build the left as an answer, and neolibs have no place with us.

      Rather than scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds a more useful statement would be today’s neoliberals can be tomorrow’s socialists. But to do that we have to do the work of convincing people to be socialists. Teaching people neoliberalism is a scam is the first step in that.

        Nah we need to start punching neoliberals until they stop organizing and start supporting actual left causes, because they will never, under any circumstances, allow anything close to socialism. It works with nazis, why not their best friends? Either way it’ll be very fun :3
