Trying again to smear Newsom? It didn't work last time and it won't work now. He's pretty popular, just look at the failed recall election where "no" (to recall) got over 60% of the vote!

The press is not communist. They are Neo-liberals. Neo-liberalism is the antithesis of communism. The goal of Neo-liberalism is to stamp out socialism, Marxism, and communism everywhere in the world.

"Neoliberals" only exist in some demented online screeds. Nobody really knows what it means, no politician claims to be one, and it is certainly not an organized party in any way. It's a word that could be removed from the English language, and no one would notice.

You can replace "Neo-liberal" with corporatist. It is the ideology of the global oligarchic elite. The ruling class.

So you think you can use this umbrella term for both western corporate leaders and communist autocrats? Pretty useless term, I would say. You may have noticed it's never used by the mainstream press.

No it's antithetical to communism. Neo-liberalsim refers to a political and economic ideology that advocates for free-market capitalism, deregulation, privatization, and globalization. It aims to reduce the role of government in the economy. Neo-liberal policies have been implemented all around the world, and have caused severe wealth inequality, financial instability, and environmental degradation. This ideology is the ideology of the ruling elites. It is so because it benefits them financially.
This ideology has been completely discredited, but because it is beneficial to the global oligarchic elite, it is continually imposed on us.

And as for the mainstream media, of course they don't talk about it, they are a part of it. When you are awash in an ideology it is like the air you breath. Like water to a fish. You don't even recognize that you are trapped in it.
The mainstream media is there to prop up the corporate state. They are the propaganda arm of the corporate state.
