We need to be inclusive to the many people joining our side. The new left no longer encompasses class position but rather switches to Identity politics. The Democratic Party has abandoned their class roots. The ultimate victory of neoliberalism is they have extinguished class consciousness and class analytics in education.
They have essentially made class invisible with this woke culture, and drastically expanded their own power because capitol has no race/gender/sex. As long as they keep people confused on what equality really is Amazon/Walmart/Microsoft can echo they are for equality because the equality is no longer identified by capitol and power. If equality was recognized originally as it was these big mega corporations wouldn't dare to post their advertising of believing in equality because they are the biggest obstacles and destructive forces of equality.
We should remind those who consider themselves as liberals the fundamental ideology of their party and politics. I would rather have a Bernie Bro out there fighting my enemy than fighting me and defending my enemy.
Remind Liberals that they are against the centralization of control, power, and influence. This is what there new Agenda is about, we need to unite under our common philosophies of free speech and power to the people and worker.
Libtards works better. I have an extended family that won't even talk about me, let alone see me, that's liberal. And not in the "neo-Lib" sense you're proposing. They're libtards.
It is easy to cause divide and separation with that rhetoric. Try leveling with the of the new parties removal of liberal values which better align with our movement.
Another useful term, which James Lindsay has begun using, "neo-racists". They've reinvented racism and have used it as a weapon.
Yes, but they will stop listening with that rhetoric, it causes cognitive dissonance for them. Challenging them to think about the class issue they once fought for will be way more effective at recruiting them to our cause.
u/LiberalTearFiend:
They are not liberals, they are just crazy marxists from Frankfurt School who instead of old "proletariat" praise most extreme freaks and deviants now, because they want to crush culture,society and even most basic logic ("math is racist").
Both more classical communist marxists from China calling them baizuo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baizuo , or classical liberals would never like to recognize their bastard mutant ideology being result of pervert inbreeding between radical liberalism (or even libertinism) with marxism.
I understand but they ride under the name of the democrat party. You will lose people when you start using that terminology. They need to be reminded that their liberal values are not being carried over but rather lie with our party and cause.
I agree with you.
100% OP
Came here to say this. Thanks fren.
not necessarily. For liberals its all about branding as well I think Neo-liberalism sits better. Liberals ultimately despise centralizing power, control and assets which this new Neo-lib philosophy is based off of
