![statement: Everything is possible! If you fail you just didn't try hard enough!
counter point by Byung-Chul Han:
People who fail in the neoliberal achievement-society see themselves as responsible for their lot and feel shame instead of questioning society or the system. [...] under the neoliberal regime of auto-exploitation, people are turning their aggression against themselves. This auto-aggressivity means that the exploited are not inclined to revolution so much as depression.](https://cdn.masto.host/socialmarxistnetwork/media_attachments/files/114/790/791/493/591/798/original/2cac17726abf58e8.jpg)

“International Business Machines, and its president Thomas J. Watson, committed genocide by any standard. It was never about the antisemitism. It was never about the National Socialism. It was always about the money. Business was their middle name.”

"Public services are inefficient"
Nope, neoliberalism fools us by dismantling public good, and blame it after. "Break it, blame it, sell it".

The same #liberals who either can't win #elections, or can never be bothered to accomplish anything meaningful when they do win, want you to think that #socialism is a "failure" & "doesn't work".
The only failure is #neoliberalism. It's dead. Either accept a #socialist future or a fascist one.

"Four core pieces of legislation set the neoliberal norms and disciplines to guide the project: the State Sector Act 1988, the Reserve Bank Act 1989, the Public Finance Act 1989, and the Fiscal Responsibility Act 1994. These were complemented by binding and enforceable international trade and investment agreements that expanded to diverse areas of policy."
