In a right-wing system, Leftist change comes from the outside, rightist change comes from the inside.
The weird thing is, without judging present day politics, is that historically something much like the opposite has been happening since the french revolution, since liberalism always selects new goals and the next generation of conservatives always try to (mostly unsuccesfully) preserve the state liberals already achived by the time these conservatives were born.
Liberalism is pro-Capitalism. Leftism changes, not liberalism. Democrats are liberals, not leftists.
The US figured out if you run a reign of terror stomping out all thoughts more left-wing than Mussolini, gutting the (formerly) famous bastions of international science on US soil, chasing professors out of universities, and suppressing all contrary thoughts with prison, nobody is left to fight back.
Weird how the libs will screech about the cultural revolution while ignoring which country successfully did it first…
I mean if you’re going to do a reign of terror and ruin millions of lives, at least come out the other side with actual benefits lmfao.
For all the evil it came with, China went from agrarian peasants to world leading scientists and cities. The US… well, lol.
Oh no, not this neoclassical economics bullshit again: https://wtf1971.com/reading-list/

Are you linking to wtfhappenedin1971 not knowing what it’s about, @theareciboincident@lemmy.dbzer0.com, or are you promoting neoclassical/Austrian School/neoliberal/Chicago School economics with full knowledge?
