“...and so do all who see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
It can be assumed, then, that they knew full well those policies would hurt ALL working class. But, of course, these were rich politicians, so it didn’t matter so long as the propaganda was strong enough to keep getting them elected.

Of course, this only worked at all because white Americans were mad at the end of segregation and angry they had to share with black ppl.
This was stated explicitly by neoliberal consultants, that w/o saying it, their policies would hurt black ppl worse than white ppl.

Neoliberalism takes the free market idea of liberalism and the individual liberties, then gives them explicitly to corporations (often OVER individual rights), in order to limit regulation.
Essentially they co-opted popular things from liberalism to run con on the working class.

I think you are confused as to what I was saying. What you just described is neoliberalism. Reagan ended the high tax bracket, expecting that corporations would do the right thing out of the kindness of their own hearts.

“We let the greedy ppl take all the money and now they won’t share. I know, let’s vote in this rich person with pretty words, they’ll fix it!”
Come on ppl, we’ve got tens of millions that can run for office. Vote for your damn barber.

Yes, but you’re as likely to go straight to communism as you are to get a progressive, working class president after all these neoliberal corporatists.
You have to build up to it. I think the DSA understands that. We need to be running, but we have to get our feet under us first.

No, fascist regimes have out on a hat and claimed to be socialist and communist. That’s no different than Trump running on “affordability.” They have to get the plebs to vote for their own oppression somehow and pure bigotry doesn’t cut it.

It’s truly pathetic that anyone, anywhere, still supports this atrocity.

Scratched teachers, peed on the floor, the whole nine yards. She’s in kindergarten. But now she has to be in an alternative school. The last place she went taught her worse behavior.
Ppl blame the parents, but they are broken from their own trauma, much of it caused by our exploitative system.

Not the least because we blade the victims for their bad coping mechanisms. My wife works in a title 1 school, she just had this the other day.
Kid watched her father get brutality beaten by his girlfriend (we know bc the kid told them in between death threats). Then went ballistic on the classroom

It’s truly amazing how much pain white ppl are willing to suffer so that they don’t have to share with black ppl.

That’s how we created the worlds most prosperous middle class. Corporations didn’t get tax breaks for nothing. They had to invest in their workers and our economy.
But the monopoly cartels begin by Rockefeller started buying elections and segregation made white ppl shoot themselves in the foot.

The new deal began in 1933. That tax was specifically 1944-45, but it was very high all the way until Reagan began neoliberalism.

Bahaha! You realize that number is more than vote for either party? You need less than 1/10th of that to win every election every time.
So why aren’t Dems pursuing them? Why aren’t they voting? Tell me that.

Ok buddy. And what percent of the electorate did they represent?
Stop ignoring the fact that you can’t bring out 90 MILLION voters.
Dems failed so hard after 2020 that I can only assume it was on purpose.
