Re: <nettime> What is the meaning of Trump's Victory

[Alex Foti <alex.foti@gmail.com>]

   trump has brought neoliberalism to an end - he's a nationalist not a
   conservative - in my view it will bring the demise of liberalism in all
   its forms (including those protective of individual rights) across all
   of what used to be called the west - i mean if le pen prevails in
   france all security council members are nationalistic and increasingly
   authoritarian - the old allies against fascism have all turned
   fascists! �you could make an exception for the so patriotic uk
   remaining a liberal democracy of sorts - but with nigel farage as
   ambassador to the united reich of greater america.. verhoefstadt
   possibly europe's most eminent liberal has said one clown in washington
   was enough - i mean it tells you the measure of the atlantic rift and
   the terminal crisis of liberalism that won't be solved by angie merkel
   (even if she wins again: will she, dear germanophones?) - england
   remains anti-putin for the time being tho and probably will remain so
   because it traditionally opposes continental hegemony
   this rambling to say the trump is neither neoliberal nor
   neoconservative - he's a new kind of fascism which breaks with liberal
   tradition either in economics (he's protectionist) or in politics (he's
   racist) - national populism as the 21st century equivalent of 20th
   century national socialism, if you will - like all aspiring dictators
   he's not immune to laughter - let's just make sure we'll have the last
   laugh with this bastard and his transnational network of authoritarian
   regimes - even if it takes a decade
