    I like how he completely misses the point even now. We don’t need to end liberalism but we absolutely do need to tax and regulate.

      We don’t need to end liberalism but we absolutely do need to tax and regulate.

      Definitely need both. Neoliberalism is a center right to right wing ideology that inherently favors moneyed interests and the status quo over workers and progress.

      Having it as the leftmost ideology of only two political parties with real influence is lunacy.

      Taxes and regulations are bandaid solution to capitalism.

      As we’ve all seen, those with wealth use it to hide it away from taxes and to bribe for relaxed regulations or regulations to stop competitors appearing.

      Liberalism and any other capitalist model need to go.

        Look, I’m not going to defend capitalism, but

        Is not a problem inherent to capitalism. All of that stems from human greed, which you’re going to have no matter what economic system you try to implement. The solution is to have actual enforcement of your regulatory guardrails.

        I don’t see capitalism ending in the US during our lifetimes so I’ll take any improvement I can get
