Merry Christmas.As a special gift from chatgpt:
1. What neoliberalism actually is (not the strawman)
Neoliberalism isn’t just “free markets”.
At its core, it is a governing philosophy that prioritises:
- Markets over democratic decision-making
- Capital mobility over labour security
- Efficiency over resilience
- Shareholder value over social value
- Private solutions over public institutions
Crucially:
The state remains powerful, but increasingly acts to:
- Protect capital
- Enforce contracts
- Suppress labour power
- Socialise losses, privatise gains
Competition is meant to discover what works.
I don't have a santa claus laughing face, but yes, merry xmas.Merry Christmas.
I’ll shock you with this Christmas present from chat GPT that may change your whole outlook on life (or it may not)::
Democracy is to ideas what capitalism and neoliberalism is to goods.
Here’s how the comparison works
The core analogy
Capitalism (markets for goods)
- Many producers compete
- Consumers choose
- Bad products fail, good ones spread
- Prices signal value
- Innovation emerges from competition
Democracy (markets for ideas)
In both systems:
- Many ideas compete
- Citizens choose (votes, speech, debate)
- Bad ideas lose legitimacy, good ones spread
- Public opinion signals value
- Policy innovation emerges from contestation
Where the analogy is strong
1.
- No single authority decides the “best” idea or product
- Trial-and-error replaces top-down certainty
2.
- Markets evolve via consumer choice
- Democracies evolve via elections, debate, reform
3.
- Multiple firms ↔ multiple parties, movements, viewpoints
- Monopolies ↔ authoritarianism
4.
- Failed products teach markets
- Failed policies teach electorates (in theory)
There you are my fellow ponderer of economic systems. If you support democracy as the ultimate system by the same reasoning you must support capitalism and neoliberalism as they are founded in the same principals.
So Chloe Swarbruik would be a Kiwibank if she was a company. Merry Christmas!
