Hey, I'm looking for an article that was printed in the last few years that talked about how the language around social programs drastically changed in the 1960s in the news because african americans were given the right to use thebprograms. Anyone know the article I am talkijng about?

Complaining about "DINO" or "RINO" is silly because it's really just a catch all term for "politician that doesn't support what I believe to be the correct values of the party." It elicits the position that person is a traitor to the ideals they are supposed to be standing for. If you are going to complain about it being technically not true or lacking in nuance you might as well start complaining that calling him a "sack of poo poo" isn't accurate since he actually only contains about half a pound of poo poo depending on how recently he's evacuated his colon which clearly isn't enough to be used as the prime description of his contents. At a certain point futilely fighting against terms and how they are used is really losing sight of what the real issues are (namely we have a Democrat that is supporting raising the price of medical supplies and hates minorities protesting state sanctioned murders).

So, help me out here, but what you're describing sounds like third wayism that sits a bit to the right of social democracy, with neoliberal politics actually hanging out very far to the right.

I've come to understand third wayism as belief that "We can simulate most of the benefits of the strong social programs of the left by sufficiently rearchitecting and regulating service businesses." The ACA seems to fit that, or at least aspire to it. My mental picture of neoliberalism is basically "Libertarian, but trusts the power of policymaking" that differs from neocon only in paying lip service to civil rights. What a lot of people have started calling neoliberalism, I've always kinda heard referred to as traditionally third way. If an appeal to authority helps, Bernie has described Bill Clinton as third way to high schoolers in Vermont for as long as I'd canvassed for him.

If I had to pick a bone with the way "neoliberal" has shifted, it's how it now captures the Dem center and the Dem right, where in the past it indicated a more specific slice of right of center Dems who overlap with compassionate conservativism in their fear of even conducing third way hybridized market solutions. Like, calling the ACA neoliberal is mistaken, straight up. It's third way. Neoliberal would be straight deregulated healthcare. I think perhaps there is a lot of people itt who don't appreciate how much right Dems and left GOP overpassed each other, especially before Fox News took information warfare that appeals to centrists to a whole new level. Neolib is right of center, period. If someone supported the ACA, they weren't neoliberal at least due to that alone. That's third way, the idea that you can co-opt non-nationalized business to achieve social justice. Neoliberalism doesn't do that. Neoliberalism is far more gross than the wet noodle spinelessness of the third way. Potato Salad fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Jan 11, 2018 |

My mental picture of neoliberalism is basically "Libertarian, but trusts the power of policymaking" that differs from neocon only in paying lip service to civil rights. It depends, because "Third Way" is/was an actual thing. For example, it's not really an insult to call Bill Clinton a "Third Way Democrat" since it's something that he literally self-identified as. In some cases it can mean adopting a right-wing agenda on social welfare or economic justice issues wholesale, since the whole point is to just agree with some of the what the other party is saying in order to undermine them. Edit- To be clear, what I'm saying here is that Third Wayism isn't necessarily coherent in its policy goals because it was primarily a political tool and not an ideology. It was adopted because there was a sense that the right had won the war and capitulation was the only way forward. There are plenty of true believers now, but that wasn't really the initial point.

In that sense, it's worth maintaining the distinction between third way and the neoliberalism that occupies your TV set, presenting deregulation of the ACA as something even remotely worth entertaining as a means of improving the loves of the poor. A neocon and a Republican say, literally, gently caress the poor because they didn't take advantage of (fake or highly asymmetric) opportunity everyone who is successful has. A neolib argues the poor are better served by deregulation. There's a lot of space between the third way and neoliberalism.

What an I getting wrong with respect to where third wayism fits into this, if at all? There are far right neoliberals, but neoliberalism is not actually inherently far-right. Traditional third way stuff is neoliberalism - a type of it anyway. Just like "leftism" encompasses social democrats and communists, or how anarchism has both "ancoms" and "ancaps", there are different breeds of neoliberal. they still believe in the core neoliberal values - the primacy of "economic efficiency" at the expense of labour and the resulting mergers and monopolies that pour out from that mindset being a good thing, the belief that one of the government's primary role is growing the size of the economy without regard to how it's distributed, the privatization of public industry, austerity, deregulation (or at least certain types of deregulation - just like the conservative neoliberals have their regulations they would prefer to keep, like industry licensing that keeps out competitors).

The answer is third-way centrism is a "reformist" version of neoliberalism, but it is still neoliberalism since it relies on the same basic tenants (free market, deregulation, hard fiscal limits etc etc). Keynesianism (at least the classic version) isn't typically neoliberal but certainly still a form of reform capitalism, but is distinct from third-wayism.

And if anyone doubts that Third Way is neoliberal, all you have to do is remember that Thatcher claimed that her greatest achievement was "Tony Blair and New Labour." Just throwing in there as well for context, the end of Bretton Woods partly was due to the fact that the reconstruction of Western Europe just too successful for currency side of it to function, and the dollar was not only too strong but too rigid. The move to fiat also certainly needed to happen, even if it was also going to cause some inflation/devaluation. That said, what I really think led to the birth of neoliberalism in the mid-1970s was the oil crisis, and inevitable stagflation that came with it. This not only seriously eroded the faith in the economic sustainability of Keynesianism (fairly erroneously), but likely pressed business to urge for higher fed rates and union breaking to get around the wage increases that can increasingly had become necessary. Then you had the humiliation of pulling out of Vietnam on top of that, then Afganistan and the Iranian revolution on top of a second oil crisis. By the late 1970s, Keynesian was extremely politically vulnerable, and you just needed opportunists to come in (like Thatcher/Reagan) to essentially turn the system over. Inflation was still sky high and over-taking wages, and Volcker was given credit for stopping it with a large increase in rates (it was the fact that the Saudis started to agree to pump again). After the Soviets started to crack in the late 1980s, there was really no resistance left from what had become the Washington Consensus.
