Carney critiques the current global order but offers only a hardened neoliberalism as an alternative.

@dan613 @milkman76 @pinhman if socialism was the dominant system in the world there would be no extractive hegemony in the first place, and hence this speech would not exist

@yogthos @milkman76 @pinhman There would still be the largest economy in the world right next to us, extractive or not. And moving *away* from it is the opposite of perpetuating neo-liberalism.

@dan613 @yogthos @pinhman I dont think there is an argument here. One can promote an incisive statement (among incisive statements) without also supporting the overall neoliberal ideology espoused by the man. The damage was done, and Im here to salt that wound.

Ok, would it be the same if every single country in the world was ruled by people like @nyx , Ahaiyuta, TwoWhateverist, and the like?

Despite this, I think that in a world where all countries are like Nyx Land's Nammu, there would have no nation states left and that Jiang Xueqin's Libertarianism would become true lol.

Explain to me what neoliberalism is and why Jair Bolsonaro, Javier Milei, Nayib Bukele, Erdogan, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, Daniel Noboa, Rodrigo Paz, Jose Antonio Kast, Reagan, Thatcher, Netanyahu, Klaus Schwab, Gunther Fehlinger, NATO etc aren't/weren't Neoliberal/Neoliberalism.

You can write a long essay if you want to.

@milkman76 @pinhman @dan613 he's literally talking about preserving the current liberal system in the face of the US turning on the vassals. That's the thrust of his speech.

@VoidDumu @dan613 @pinhman @yogthos @NoahLoren13 @divinefloraloracle @nyx @anolandria he hasnt hidden it since the 1980s.

In the 80s (or 90s? I cant recall) he tried to kill 5 innocent young black boys. He ran a front page NYtimes ad calling for their execution, and briefly they admitted to a crime they didnt commit. Later they were exonerated.

He was also observed by associates many times using racial slurs, trying to make it hard for black people to get jobs, etc.

@VoidDumu @milkman76 @pinhman @yogthos @NoahLoren13 @divinefloraloracle @nyx I’ve never once said they weren’t neoliberal. That has nothing to do with Carney’s peach, which was about changes in trade relationships, a feature that also exists in socialist and communist societies.

@dan613 @VoidDumu @pinhman @yogthos @NoahLoren13 @divinefloraloracle @nyx Neoliberalism is laissez-faire capitalism and "right to buy" colonial era bullshit, and therein lies the problem with that entire paradigm, aside from any incidental similarities with socualism.
