    Because said neoliberal order has soent the past 40 years crushing any criticism from the left and sowing the seeds for fascism. Corporations aren’t going to give up all the power they have accumulated without a fight

      Fascism is a reactionary response to the decay of Capitalism, yes, but Socialism is the natural evolution beyond Capitalism. The left can and will win against the fascists.

        That’s the hope, but the liberals will crown the fascists rather than concede anything to the socialists. I’m not expecting any large socialist movement here in the US, and fully expect a fascist purging of all their “undesirables”.

          The US will not have a large leftist movement until the global south pushes back and lifestyles in the US are no longer inflated by extreme global exploitation. If the global south revolts, as they seem to be over time, the opportunity will come and what has been minor quantitative shifts will result in a qualitative change in the US.
