How have we arrived at the point where neoliberalism is the only option on the menu in the UK and the white settler colonies (with the possible exception of New Zealand), with the two possible side dishes of authoritarianism combined with either social progressivism or a somewhat fake reactionary libertarianism? Both blame the individual for their successes or failures, lionising the success of the rich, while picking different scapegoats to focus their supporters on; either the reactionary “white” lumpen proletariat “deplorables”, or the professional managerial class courtiers and unionized public workers that have managed to maintain their incomes over the last four decades of elite exploitation. Below, I have lain out my understanding of how we got here. Forgive me my meanderings, as there is so much to cover.
