--001a1130c1227626b10546f9e164 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 (first time got sent incomplete by error) have been following the many perspectives taken on the nazipopulist in the white house - time and again though i ve seen people repeating trumpism is neoliberalism to the max, that is avatar of international capital or whatnot. not so, 2016 puts an end to the phase of total neoliberal hegemony (1989-2008) and indeed dissolves the west under anglo-saxon leadership that had come into being in 1945-1947. furthermore its approach to world politics is neither neocon nor realist (certainly not international kehoane-style) but isolationist. It starts from the premise that the US is no longer the hegemonic world power and seeks a nationalist policy to reassert its primacy. I'd like to write more, but i hope a table suffices.
