Please help me out. The term-du-jour now seems to "neoliberal"

[LWolf]

67. It's the core

of what the Democratic Party has evolved to. It doesn't matter what you call it: DLC/centrist/"New Democrat/3rd Way; they are all, at their core, based on neoliberalism.

It's economic policy that destroys the 99%. Why WOULDN'T we talk about it?

The very effective strategy has been to segregate social and economic justice issues. Neoliberals happily give lip-service AND some actual support to social justice issues, gathering support along the way and distracting from what they do to the economy. They feed identity politics, so that all the focus is on achieving social justice for multiple disenfranchised groups, while yanking the rug out from underneath them economically and ensuring that there will always be an underclass to exploit.

It's not catapulted to the fore just now. It's been brewing for some time. OWS. Arab spring. Anti-austerity in Greece. And, of course, the last year having offered the Democratic Party a clear choice, with somewhere along the lines of 44% of the current count having voted to move away from neoliberalism heading into this summer's convention, it's going to be at the forefront of conversation.
