   Neoliberals are the folks you send in to sanitise the place before the fascists move in.

     @edgeoforever You don’t vote out fascists. (You only get to bite them in. Then you lose the vote.)

     And there I thought what kept the Tories in power for so long in the UK were the neoliberals in the Labour Party who would rather sabotage their own leader than see a socialist as prime minister.

     @aral or, who vote them out if you’re smart enough to forge alliances instead of hurling purity tests at everyone. 🤷♀️ It’s what kept Torries in power for so long in UK.

     @aral Funny thing is, neoliberals seem to think *they* are in control. Even after the fascists took all of the Popular Party's seats in the portuguese parliament, "Social" Democrats still try to groom the far-right into something they could more comfortably introduce to their parents. Not that it bothers them too much individually — Neoliberals and fascists will get along just fine. This is something they do at the expense of their own party and, eventually, democracy.
