Re: <nettime> Neoliberalism & alt-rght trolls |
I would say no. Neo-liberalism comes with politically correct identity politics. It does not allow weirdness and ‘freedom of speech’. Neo-liberalism is out to claim consensus and cannot argue in public. It has to silence the fringe and ignores it in a deep and, until recently, effective way. That’s maybe also why alt-right came into being in the first place. Neo-liberalism is a hegemonic block, pretty much as Gramsci once defined it.
