Neoliberalism has a chronic or 'long' form too. Long neoliberalism is what we're living now, where society is under siege from problems in every direction, and we can do nothing. Because there is no society. The neolibs deliberately destroyed it. /1 https://t.co/pCPxSoFCvN

The acute phase of neoliberalism feels great, it's euphoric. Everything is flogged off and the proceeds are used to create rivers of budget gold, which then fund tens of billions in election bribes. Personal debt skyrockets as the flood of money inspires dreams of riches. /2

Then you arrive at long neoliberalism. Where the money has all evaporated, together with all of the collective institutions that are what society actually is. The things the neolibs sell and dismantle. Suddenly everything from plagues to weather catastrophes meet no response. /3

There's nothing left to respond with. The lot has been either destroyed or sold. Replaced with 'personal responsibility', for everything. Meaning those who pocketed the dosh in the acute phase are the only people who can afford to live, constructing gated communities.../4

...to replace the societies they sold and smashed. From where they lecture the rest of us about how we just need to 'live with' the social collapse we inherited, because only in that way will we be 'free'. /ends
