We’re witnessing a generational shift in U.S. economic policy. The era of neoliberalism is coming to an end. In its place, the Biden administration has a radical vision to bring back American manufacturing-and put the middle class above wealthy investors. And it’s working.

​@@martinfiedler4317 First, Biden's not a billionaire; his net worth is about $10 million according to Forbes. Second, neither Trump nor Biden are radical. People misuse the term all the time to mean extreme or fringe, but it actually means root. As in: radish = root vegetable, radical in math = root, and radical in politics = fundamental systemic change. I would argue that neither Trump nor Biden are radical since they both seek to maintain capitalist order and hegemony. Regardless, you're right-it is sad how Biden is marketed to us as champion of the working class.

You are severely misguided if you think the poor people are his key supporters. Every fascist in history has managed to get a good part of poor people on his side, because every fascist in history has the logistical support to do so from the rich people and liberals. The democratic party would much rather see a fascist in power than even someone as mildly left-leaning as Bernie - that's why fascists get platformed so damn much in the US, while no socialist/communist/anarchist ever has been.

@@gannibalof21st Sad but true the US has no true organized leftist movement that actually is left of center with centralists like Bernie sanders being about as left leaning as the current winner takes all 2 party system allows. That said informing others of the complex larger picture of the rise and obscuration of the post WW2 American empire among other things is important if we want to found a real leftist movement in the US. The reason I come here is in the hopes of informing folks of the larger interconnected nature of how our societal problems to get points across and hope to make things a better place. I admit I don't think a true leftist movement in the US is possible ATM as media is almost entirely controlled by right leaning stakeholders who continue to abuse the ratchet effect to push the US further and further to the right. Breaking that right wing think tank stranglehold is important so we need allies if we are to do so. My view is that breaking down the hidden façade of the Globalist empire and how it is maintained by the dark triad of Neocolonialist organizations the World Bank International Monetary Fund and World Trade Organization which exist to further amplify the inequality of imperialism. It is this system which ultimately feeds our environmental crises by making it easier for foreign powers to extract resources and labor from across the world without just due compensation or any say of the indentured countries peoples. So long as the growth centered economy built on empire is allowed to persist we can not address the current crises as making cheaper alternatives has only resulted in increased environmental burden though expanding capacity so we need to try and add voices shifting the narrative towards more sustainable and just economic ideas and practices even if it is just a tiny bit.

@@GabrielHellborne Ultimately The Neoliberal hollowing out of manufacturing was part of a bigger hollowing out internal cannibalization of America by oligarchs addicted to seeing numbers go up. After the post WW2 American economic empire ran out of low hanging fruit to indenture though the brutal loan cartel of the IMF WB and WTO the growth of the economy started to stall out. As a result to maintain their numbers going up they needed an alternative source to keep their profit margins rising so they turned on the labor unions and manufacturing by outsourcing jobs as well as cutting taxes and the various social services and nonprofitable support infrastructure which kept the USA functional to further enrich themselves. With private equity consultancies and other contract oriented outsourcing they even do this to their own corporations leading to increasingly nonfunctional organizations of all kinds. The problem of course is that in hollowing out the US government and outsourcing everything they can they have rendered the empire ever increasingly weak and ineffective unable to sustain itself any longer . The leaders in China, having long focused on longer term growth than the shortsighted western stock markets which were too focused on their next stock return fix, were smart enough to see this coming and also seem to have taken measures to position themselves to exploit this self destructive cycle of western capitalists while likely also helping to accelerate the pace of it as well. In this context China is doing a lot of what the USA did over the 20th century to gradually usurp the control over the empires of European states. By the time the greedy addicts who call the shots in the neocolonial era started paying attention they were already too deep into their greedy indulgence to be able to effectively respond stuck in their own sunken cost fallacy.

I'm still bitter about the Biden rug pull in the democratic primaries I hate Biden and always have as he has always had a strong connection to the American Neocolonial economic empire project as well as a tendency to easily cave to work with right wing bigots' across the Isle. That wishy washy nature made him untrustworthy and his efforts under Obama and his Neoliberal doctrine of inclusion through token membership of minorities to the Oligarch class didn't do anything to help his favor. Lets not forget how many bones Biden has thrown the fossil fuel industry trying to "please all sides" (mostly because of Manchin no doubt but still). I never understood why people could ever vote for trump, sure I distained the toxic Neoliberal Hillary Clinton but Trump is and always has been an unhinged egotistical sadistic psychopath born with a silver spoon and whose only talent aside from money is being a career con artist. Hillary Trump Biden all of them are frankly evil people motivated by self interest but to differing degrees of Evil. Trump notably is a bad faith actor to his core as seen in how he tried to undermine the election, having literally no bottom line in how far he is willing to go or do to get his way and viewing everyone and everything as disposable pawns in his pursuit of power. Sure it wasn't as blatantly obvious before he was elected the first time but all the signs were there of an unhinged untrustworthy man motivated only by pure self interest and ego. The people I talked to asking why they made the choice for trump seem to have at least back then did it mostly as a vote of frustration but talk to them now and most of them are so sunken into the cult lies that you can't reach whatever is left of them without being in their cult. Trump literally uses the same kind of language and appeals as cult leaders....

At this point, if they put up a shoebox full of dead spiders I’d vote for it to keep Trump out of office. If you pay attention to the way the Supreme Court is ruling right now, they’re clearly primed to surge even harder to the right if they get a friendly executive branch. Christian nationalism will absolutely take over if Trump wins in November. We have run out of safe guards. I’ve been hearing unserious hacks tell me every election of my lifetime has been the most epic and profoundly consequential election ever. It’s been bullshit every single time, but we are at a legitimate turning point. Just to be clear, the Democratic Party is culpable. They have repeatedly refused to do what’s right, even when they have had the indisputable majority to do so. They could have legislated federally protected abortion, but didn’t want to give up their political football. Same story as the GOP and immigration. We are at the risk of losing our nation because we’ve been governed by naked self interests and corrupt opportunists.

It’s radical in the sense that it is counter to the consensus that both parties, Corporate America, and now private equity have held. The difficulty is the wealthy get wealthier as the game goes on.

"Radical" doesn't mean "crazy," it means "returning to the root." That's what Biden is doing, returning to the root of what built broad American wealth. The Powers That Be don't want broad wealth, they want spectacular concentration of wealth at the top. So of course the Powers are fighting this radical change, and they'll never admit that it's better than trickle-down.

People can't afford stuff in part because China was a crutch to the problem of inflation leading to wealth flowing upwards. Every year, we have 3% inflation on average, the rich want to make 5% or more extra in profits, while paying their workers 1% more or less. So every year, the middle class and poor have it a little worse. Then china stepped in and raised the quality of life for the average American. Now that we are pulling that back, prices of everything will continue to soar. All china did was hide the fact that every year, the rich take a slightly larger piece of the pie, and now after 60 years, the bottom 99% make less than the 1%.

It becomes mathmatically impossible to maintain low inflation if most *wealth* not just money but wealth is not spent and fleeting. And this is because wealth; at least under caputalism can be spent like money. And because money can only gain value by being spent otherwise it has literally zero sum value it does not make anything happen. So money and wealths value is directly tied to how fast it moves through the population, with a faster movement meaning more value; very simple.. But the ways that mathmatic hiccup moves through everything is very complex and always makes its own pathways that could take lifetimes in research and never come up with a satisfactory answer for how. Mostly because that is the line where hard mathmatics and soft social science meet and thats always infinatly complex

It’s so hard to find made in America products in big box stores. I remember being a kid and there were signs/tags on clothes at Walmart that advertised the fact something was made in the U.S. Now it’s the allure of clearance racks filling up with new things every week to draw in folks to get cheap items. Where are all these “patriots” when stores are full of outsourced goods?

Yes, the most glaring contradiction playing itself out currently within the US political class is how quickly & aggressively they will decouple our production from China (strategy, too) Both overarching camps are aware that it must occur in order to maintain US hegemony. Which they're all conveniently in agreement on :) Various organizations & industries stand to lose billions of dollars over the course of the coming decades, depending on how quickly & effectively it is accomplished (or not). So. They're hedging their bets as we speak. Trump got a pretty nice uptick in funding from major players like Ackmann after his conviction. fyi But we'll see how much manufacturing, and in what form, makes its way back to the US. Because it's heading to Haiti, too 👀 fyi And that new semi-conductor manufacturing complex in the heart of the southwest seems like a bad idea with the impending water shortages. Maybe they shouldnt have relied on Taiwan for that anyway. But if you told these guys 30 years ago that they'd lose China, they wouldn't have believed you, so. Hubris :)

I don't really buy political promises that are made when they have elections to lose. The fact that Biden supported and promoted these exact practices for his entire 40+ year political career until only recently makes me skeptical. I'll believe something has changed when I see action, not just talk. The actions taken so far leave much to be desired.

Sorry, but what’s wrong with the substance of it? It’s casting both party administrations as fueling this negative cycle. I was in Operations and Supply Chain executive roles for decades and fought against this my entire career. DARPA has been waving a red flag at this for a long time and the money was too good for the insiders and politicians. DJT lacks the intellect, temperament to deal with this in a rational way. He’s out for Number 1 if you haven’t been paying attention. So set politics aside, what points don’t you agree with?
