176. Labour is the party of Democratic Socialism

Sat Mar 13, 2021, 06:35 PM

Mar 2021

Biden made it clear he wasn't one of those socialists. Why would he be Labour then? Frankly Labour is a little too center for AOC. Why would they have to be in a major party? They point is that in a multi party country AOC and Biden wouldn't be in the same party. You have given nothing to show that they would be in England.

You clearly don't understand what neoliberal means in economics. Cuthbert Allgood Mar 2021 #65

Why don't you explain to me how the Democratic Party is "neoliberal"? betsuni Mar 2021 #98

Is there an argument that the Clinton presidency was economically neoliberal? Cuthbert Allgood Mar 2021 #99

It's 2021. How is the Democratic Party "neoliberal"? betsuni Mar 2021 #100

So what is being done to control the markets and big corporations? Cuthbert Allgood Mar 2021 #102

Oh, so the meaning of "neoliberal" is "capitalist." betsuni Mar 2021 #104

So, OK, you don't know what neoliberal economics is and you don't care to find out. Cuthbert Allgood Mar 2021 #105
