Re: <nettime> Guardian > Monbiot > Neoliberalism -- the ideology

[morlockelloi@yahoo.com]

The widespread imposed or voluntarily adopted anonymous (or not so 
anonymous) ideologies, that facilitate the demise of their believers, 
are hardly a new phenomenon. Expecting that naming them is going to 
change anything is a fallacy.

The current predicament is exactly this - assumption that changing mode 
of thinking is a way out. Modern rebel economists, activists, 
whistleblowers, all of them cement this predicament, basically that "the 
truth will set you free" (and that shit is hardly new - John 8:32). They 
are starting to sound like freakin' hippies.

It doesn't work. We've seen the truth and we are not free. Get over it.

Defeating an ideology takes another ideology that produces better 
weaponry. Historically speaking, the new winner is generally less 
aesthetically pleasing than the defeated one. Expect nostalgia for 
neoliberalism.
