justinian on Sidechat | Have political leaders on the Far Right and Far Left both become way more neoliberal coded recently? Can you imagine far right or left radicals saying “The rich need to pay their fair share” or “Immigrants are welcome if they obey the law” 100 years ago?

The rich paying their fair share is not neoliberal ideology and if it was we would never be in this situation

I see what you mean. It used to be the rich shouldn’t exist, not that they need to pay their fair share.

The far right is absolutely not saying “immigrants are welcome” btw 😭

We’ve had plenty of neoliberal politicians in major positions of power over the last 60 or so years and none of them have made the rich pay their fair share. Multiple presidents and the top tax rate has skyrocketed down.
