    They’re told that neoliberalism works by every major political party, every for-profit media company, every lobby group and every sleazy think tank.

    It’s incredibly persuasive. Most people can’t even name it, let alone oppose it. The moment someone has even the slightest chance of challenging it, every single one of those organisations unites with a solidarity the rest of us can only dream of.

    Because for them, “left vs right” is a pantomime. They don’t actually disagree on anything of consequence, they’re just jostling for position at the trough.

    And they’re not just apathetic about those people struggling to hold on until pay day, they celebrate it. Those people have had every possible penny of wealth squeezed from them, starting it on its march back to a billionaires pocket, because that’s the way money actually flows.
