The liberal-wing of the establishment cannot face the present as the structures it supports have collapsed. It lives in a past where the right are active partners in upholding a system instead. Because it cannot face the reality of this collapse it is unfit to either combat further collapse or lead the regeneration.

Thanks Greg. Always great to read his humanist take on politics and economics. We need more commentators to recognise what's happening across the legacy media landscape. No wonder independent media is on their rise.

Wonder how many journos are going to ask Angus Taylor what small government means to him… and the inevitable end goal of making us like the US in terms of healthcare etc…

We’re naive lemmings and oblivious totally disposable to the super rich and powerful. Thank heavens for the small communities many of us live in where there is genuine support and caring while the chaos Greg had described reigns around us.

Thanks Greg - good to hear some "non-centrist" views for a change.

I bought Hayek's Bastards: The Neoliberal Roots of the Populist Right by Quinn Slobodian for my other half as a xmas present. He's been reading sections to me, and if only the broader community knew what these neoliberals like Milton Friedman and Hayek had in mind! They were basically fascists - democracy was an inconvenience for them.

The Epstein files are showing us the depravity of the rich and powerful from all perspectives and how the general population is disposable to them.
