> The neoliberal order increasingly spreads only misery, but in this very misery there may be a paradoxical glimmer of hope. Even though there really is no “leftover” institutional form that automatically escapes the logic of neoliberalism, there are still desires and demands — including among those, such as myself, who have known nothing but the neoliberal order for our entire lives — that reject it and potentially exceed it. Already, those desires and demands are beginning to place a major strain on the neoliberal order.

Neoliberals and Christians are resorting to force, ultra mega corporations, abortion bans, tax cuts for the wealthy and reduction in benefits for the poor, racist police, supporting genocide, deregulating campaign donations, federal reserve austerity policies, deregulated environmental rules, etc., to keep growth / “prosperity” and that causes discontent.
