Do you think the summer protest were a move for or against the neoliberal consensus?



The BLM protests are precisely one of the expressions of the growing anger against the neoliberal consensus.

After all, capitalism requires racism to function. A united working class organising general strikes and arming themselves would be dangerous to the bourgeoisie.


Yes, absolutely. The voices against neoliberalism have grown in number and volume since 2019. Do you not?


I think the summer protests have displaced the movement against the neoliberal doctrine rather than aiding the movement.


I agree. The complete focus on all the politicians and media is on race and gender issues, completely ignoring economic issues.


That's the focus you'll see most of the time if you watch mainstream media. But even cnn just had a bad faith podcast host on so the tide is changing... Slowly. That's how grassroots movements work. Slowly, from the labor classes on up.
