    In the context of a 2-d, Euclidean geometry, x and y axis political compass putting neoliberals slightly right of center makes sense. In different models a different position could make sense. People don’t need to move through neoliberalism. The issue is that many if not most people in our society have neoliberal ideas in their heads.

    Regan, Bush Sr, Clinton, W, Obama were all some variation on neoliberal. Neoliberal rhetoric laid the ground work for Trump. Biden also being a neoliberal hasn’t moved the needle on this while in office. We can’t wait for someone to do it for us. We have to help people fully internalize neoliberalism as a scam. Then teach them about socialism.
