I knew that globalised neoliberal oligopolistic capital was dead, I didn’t know that it was this dead… There’s no going back to the past, the powers that be tried to restore the neoliberal order after the 2008 financial crash, and ultimately failed. This is the end result.
Then he goes onto explain why social democracy and Keynesism revival failed before it even happened (the failure of Sanders and Corbyn in 2016/2017). Working class was in a position of defeat, not victory, thus it was not on the agenda. Then the destruction of nations, particularly in Eastern Europe (happened with Ukraine).
Exactly so funneling people towards voting for the dems is even more erroneous and delusional than it already was. Neo-Keynesianism is also an dead end.
Neo-Keynesianism has been a dead end for almost a decade now, since the initial failure of the Sanders and Corbyn campaigns. They were never going to be allowed to seize power, as the working class globally was, and is, in a position of defeat, not strength. The Dems were basically running on “let’s try revive neoliberalism for a third time” (after Obama and then Biden failed to do so), which is as you pointed out, quite delusional and what led to the Dems losing a section/faction of bourgeois support to Trump (Musk, Zuckerberg, et al). As much as Dugin is a borderline, if not straight up fascist, he was right on this, Trump was initially abandoned by the “deep state”/bourgeois in 2020, but gained support from elements of it, alas an “even deeper state” after they realised the state of delusion in the Dem establishment camp. Without this support from this “deeper state” (Musk and silicon valley types like Zuckerberg) Trump would have never been elected, and would not be allowed to do what he is doing now with tarrifs.
As funny as the JDPON Don memes are, the real JDPON move would’ve been the USA and a flailing Europe trying to revive neoliberalism for a third time while Russia and China work together on constructing an alternative system. The USA has to try something different. Tarrifs + potential expansionism in Greenland and the Great Lakes + protectionism appears to be that difference.
They and their base know neoliberalism is a failed economic and political project, understood as “globalism” by the rank and file. This is the reason behind the tariffs and the open plans for annexation and why they’re completely scrapping their pinkwashing propaganda apparatus. They’re simply trying something new, throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. They might be making stupid plays, but the truly stupid play is repeating the same failed script.
They at least acknowledge that the Titanic has hit an iceberg and are correctly panicking while the Democrats and the neoliberal status quo they represent are still in denial mode about the Titanic even being hit by one.
Well its not really something new but just like the Roman Empire transitioned to manorialism to stabilize, So will Trumps America transition back to older european colonial empire models.

to sum up: cooked
“Neoliberalism is finished, we are not going to go back to it, it’s historically impossible…”

We will see the “revenge of the state” ala unmasked empire, neo-dirigisme or the china model

The Republican move to hitting an iceberg appears to be detonating a bunch of TNT in the hole
