Gemma gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭LRT: The thing about political spectrums is that they are, by definition, finite. There is a limit to how right wing one can be (absolute monarchical totalitarianism/autocracy—absolute authority in the hands of a single person), and a limit to how left wing one can possibly be (power equally distributed to all living people, though this is merely theoretical, not actually possible).The left wing limit is pure <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/libertarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#libertarianism</a>.

Miguel Afonso Caetano"Desperate for a new intellectual underpinning, neoliberals and libertarians sought refuge in the work of economist Friedrich Hayek, who famously argued in his 1944 polemic The Road to Serfdom that government intervention in markets is antithetical to individual freedom. But Murray, Rothbard, Hoppe, and others fatally twisted Hayek’s message, claims Slobodian, and took it so far as to argue that only Western countries are intellectually and culturally primed for capitalism.The politics of this cohort, which he dubs the “new fusionists,” was rooted in “three hards,” argues Slobodian: “Hardwired human nature, hard borders, and hard money.” They forged sordid alliances with biologists, evolutionary psychologists, and ethnonationalists, spouting pseudoscience about the link between race and IQ, a topic famously repopularized in the 1994 best-seller The Bell Curve, coauthored by Murray and psychologist Richard J. Herrnstein. They railed against lax immigration policies on the premise that they led to cultural decay. But perhaps most strangely, they ballyhooed the value of gold as a backstop against a looming economic cataclysm caused by incompetency in Washington. (Talk about apropos.)In an interview with Vanity Fair, which has been edited for length and clarity, Slobodian analyzes Donald Trump’s radical agenda through this new prism of neoliberalism. He also unpacks the distressing parallels between goldbugs and crypto bros, and details why the tech set has suddenly taken up with the MAGA right. Silicon Valley’s “willingness to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Donald Trump,” he says, is indicative “of the embrace of an ideology that pretty frankly ranks human capacity along the spectrum of intelligence and IQ.”"<a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/donald-trump-silicon-valley-neoliberal-roots" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/donald-trump-silicon-valley-neoliberal-roots</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Neoliberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neoliberalism</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SiliconValley</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/NewFusionists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewFusionists</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PseudoScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PseudoScience</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Libertarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Libertarianism</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"The majority of people in Argentina (53%) are now living in poverty. Their purchasing power and standard of living have been crushed by Milei’s brutal austerity.Nearly three-quarters (72%) of Argentines said in June 2024, after half a year of Milei’s rule, that they were worse off economically.While Argentina’s real economy is in crisis, the stock market has boomed, enriching local oligarchs and rich foreign investors.Milei’s government has also promoted a notorious carry trade scheme known as the “bicicleta financiera” (financial bicycle) that has guaranteed massive returns for the few Argentines wealthy enough to invest.Aside from finance, the few other sectors of the economy that are growing under Milei are agriculture and mining — extractive industries that rely on exports and benefit from a falling currency and weak domestic demand.In short, Argentina is being turned into an impoverished, deindustrialized resource colony for foreign corporations and oligarchs."<a href="https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2025/02/28/javier-milei-argentina-economy-resource-colony/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2025/02/28/javier-milei-argentina-economy-resource-colony/</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Argentina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Argentina</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Milei" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Milei</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Privatopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Privatopia</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AnarchoCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AnarchoCapitalism</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Libertarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Libertarianism</a>

Miguel Afonso CaetanoIsn't it awkward that the arguments of the custodians of capitalism are generally so self-serving and LAZY, full of clichés and meaningless concepts? It just so seems that these billionaires have become dumb by leaving all critical thinking skills at the foot of the altar of holy money"Pairing “personal liberties” and “free markets” is a staple of libertarian rhetoric. It is, in fact, the slogan of the libertarian magazine Reason: “Free Minds and Free Markets.” But these abstractions obscure far more than they clarify. What happens when freedom of thought and speech come into conflict with “the free market,” i.e., with letting business owners do whatever they like?In 2017, socialist writer Freddie deBoer wrote an essay for the Post titled “Corporations are cracking down on free speech inside the office — and out.” In it, he cited a variety of cases in which employees had been fired at various companies for expressing opinions during their free time that their bosses disliked and concluded that as “businesses gain new ways of observing the private lives of employees, they will become more adept at policing those off-the-clock moments,” and “all of us will become less free.”Could the deBoer piece be published in WaPo now? It depends on whether Bezos cares more about the “personal liberties” half or the freedom of capitalists to police their workforces however they see fit. Given his own history of firing workers for criticizing his company at union rallies, it’s pretty clear that he’d choose the latter."<a href="https://jacobin.com/2025/03/bezos-washington-post-free-market" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://jacobin.com/2025/03/bezos-washington-post-free-market</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Libertarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Libertarianism</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Censorship</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Ideology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ideology</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Propaganda</a>
