The name speaks for itself. Definitely worth to read, interesting coverage of neoliberalism.

A friend recommended me this book, pretty satisfying reading since book is written in an easy and understandable language. Also found online version https://redstarpublishers.org/cornforth1953.pdf

yeah, obviously all this neoliberal and libertarian ideology is completely serving interests of capitalists and the only goal of it is just to have more power to exploit workers. The interesting thing here is what oligarchs managed to spread both neoliberal and libertarian nonsense among working people. D. Harvey has an interesting take on this.

this bot is unsolicited, and provides misleading information. It should work either on request, or be blocked

cyberpunk dystopia is their marketing, you will get just oppression without any cyberpunk.

This is not accurate enough, misrepresenting the article.

nice part of the article:

When Friedman visited the University of Cape Town in 1976, he gave a speech to an audience of 2,000 in which he declared that the market was a much surer route to liberty than democracy; voting by dollars was better than voting by ballots. The key to freedom was not free elections but decentralisation of state power itself.

And freedom they talking about is freedom of market.

Also, here is the video where Milton Friedman tells that he does not believe in democracy (with good part of word salad as usual, of course). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgrTeEToIX8

Again, no one disagreeing in existence of more than 2 classes (many of them in decay since Marx time). And again, considering the post, the comment is valid enough. Not from a pedantic point of view, but in current circumstances it makes the point. Existence, motion, decay and revolutionary potential of classes is an interesting topic, but I doubt that under the meme post about "middle class". No offence.

It's true that more than 2 were mentioned, but my comment is still accurate enough.

You just wrote the saddest, shortest story about illiteracy ever

There is not such thing as middle class, pure sophistic. There are ~~only~~ 2 classes, proletariat and bourgeoisie.
