<neoliberalism
any and all materialists must acknowledge that we exist in the neoliberal epoch, one unlike any other capitalist epoch. the biggest difference is that it has been intentionally manufactured to destroy class politics in everyway and it succeeded. via attacks on home ownership, community belonging, social atomisation, post fordism & gig economy, well fare it destroyed the ability for the left and even right to coherently organise and left them to embrace pseudo simulcra politics of liberalism (woke) vs conservatvism (nothing lol). in the third world where traditional manufacturing is still persued, an all ecompassing and brutal surveillance state made successful revolutionary politics impossible.
<death-agony, current and coming
but neoliberalism has entered its death agony stage. its contradictions (need to global elite agreement, invisible imports hard carrying western economies, ect) have caught up and the ideological, moralistic and pragmatic defences for the liberal international order and neoliberalism have already gone Dodo, all we wait for is the first piston in the globalist economy to collapse and this will cause a critical meltdown across the globe and with it the end of everything, the cathedral, human rights, capitalist realism, the spectacle and more. its impossible to tell when this will occur. i predicted it would be the coming right populist surge and then the mass dissillusionment which would follow, but the epstein files might cause it even sooner.
<Return of Vitality and Horror
with neoliberalism's death, we will see the Far right and left regain strength and energy, a true return to class politics. we will likely see a years of lead across the whole of eurasia, south americas and africa but not US or PRC. there will be far more riots, counter culture & demagogues arising from the formly 1dimenional workers. the 60s and interwar periods will be nothing the bumbling marches to the bloodshed to come and we shall see the earth be hurtled to utopia and despair one day after the next. total global meltdown. is your ideology prepared for the sudden influx of work? can you make one that can?

You'd think there'd be something new and strange. May as well predict the return of monarchy like the tech-fedualist crowd.
>next stage
You're thinking with a stagest mindset and that's fundamentally flawed. History does not progress in stages.
>neoliberalism is unlike any other capitalist epoch
No. Its very much like the liberalism of the 19th century. Hence the 'neo' part. Sure, some things are different, but the bedrock of neoliberalism is a revival of classical liberal ideas from well over a century ago.
>critical meltdown across the globe and with it the end of everything
Neoliberalism is not in its death stage. Neoliberalism is a lot more fluid and flexible system for Marxist theory to adequately understand it. People have made claims about global collapse before, but that hasn't happened. They underestimated how flexible it is.

With the internet and social media what we in fact see is a standardization of politics at the global level. Once there were competing political ideologies (communism, neoliberalism, Islamism) today they've all been streamlined into one current. Left and right are now just political identities, tribes or franchises that barely disagree in any meaningful way. People don't form politics on the basis of class identity, but cultural identity and idpol. Class struggle is redundant. The left is extremely reactionary and obsessed with restoring pre-neolib social democracy and the right are equally reactionary. Standardization of culture means that there is no real counterculture anymore. People play acting at it but nothing beyond that. I'd say that the explosion of jihadism in the 2000s was the last real counterculture to exist. People riot but they don't have any alternate vision. They riot to protect the system and just like jihadis, the existence of rioters entrenches the system by justifying further security and mass surveillance.
>>2687082The next phase of capitalism is so called "phase D" as described by engels in anti duhring. I suggest you read that.
sorry for late replies got busy then very sick
>>2687906thats entirely possible, i just said that they would return but its also true that other real third way shit will also arise
>>2688418>stagismyes, history isnt in stages but it is true that across recent and broader history there is such structural changes that there is a difference between what came before and after. neoliberalism is clearly different from the economically liberal wellfair capitalism which came prior, or say the difference between feudalism and early mechantilism and early capitalism.
>repeat of liberalismregardless of the underlined reasons and justifications for neoliberalism, it is clearly different in its effects and results upon the whole earth. i think its a partially silly comparison honestly
>its stronger than you thinkyeah, that why i say when its dies its going to cause shockwaves on the level that ww1 brought. it is indisputably dying.
<the liberal conscenious/international order(LC/LIO) that even wormed its way into parts of far right and left is entirely discredited<the international instituions that were propped up by it have proven themselves both entirely controlled by the global bourgeois and also useless<everyone recongises the uglyness and lack of soul of modern society is has brought about<hating rich people is now so common that it doesnt even worth mentioning<the global bourgeois cooperation that kept neoliberalism/LIO alive is now floundering as the goals of the various national bourgeois, militaries and politicians are too contradictory to work together for much let alone a global socioeconomic systemPost too long.

>D). Partial recognition of the social character of the productive forces forced upon the capitalists themselves. Taking over of the great institutions for production and communication, first by joint-stock companies, later on by trusts, then by the state. The bourgeoisie demonstrated to be a superfluous class. All of its social functions are now performed by salaried employees.
