"Neoliberalism Kills"

It's difficult to imagine any return to normal once the coronavirus pandemic peaks and recedes. If a beltway television show like The Hill's Rising with Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti is raising an alarm that sounds identical to radical Marxism, something is happening.

American Exceptionalism is officially dead, killed by the coronavirus; peak neoliberalism is dead too. Furious efforts will be made by the ruling elite to keep the zombie ambulatory. Massive propaganda combined with total surveillance and dire economic precariousness are on our horizon.

What we the people need to do first is check our head. There must be a broad acceptance of the obvious: The political economy not only failed us, it is killing us. Then we have to figure out a way to replace the system without capturing Washington, D.C. The Republican-Democrat duopoly needs to be destroyed. But that's a generations-long project, and we need transformation now.

The people need to capture a state or two -- the West Coast  (California, Oregon and Washington) is our best bet -- and pursue some sort of nullification.
