This is an essential read from @pluralistic – well worth your time to understand the points he’s making fully as he’s spot on and the excellent analogies will make it easier for you to discuss the topic with others.

Dear (neo)liberals,
I’m not here to make you feel better about yourselves and gloss over your hypocrisies that are at the heart of the mess that we find ourselves in. I’m not here to pat you on the back when you write a strongly-worded letter to a fascist asking him to please limit his persecution to the Other. I’m here to remind you that your willingness to perpetuate an unjust system as long as it benefits you personally IS the reason the problem exists in the first place.

This is how #neoliberalism operates.
1. A community builds something of value
2. The leadership’s interests are severed from the community’s ( #HailHydra).
3. Capital takes ownership of the value
4. Capital extracts rents from the community that created the value
5. Or, failing that, it turns the thing of value into a trophy spittoon or chamber pot

There are two Abundances. One is the old wine of #neoliberalism in a new bottle, the other is the one that threatens the status quo. (Unfortunately, the piece is in academese, likely the language of the author's book.)
